Chapter 27 - Promise

"Where are we going?", Grace asked feeling her legs shaking, it has been minutes since they started walking and the last practice made her legs weak.

"Yeah, we are here", Amy announce stopping in front of a door, without hesitation she kicked the door open, "Hey Justin!!", She walked in. Grace at the other hand stared shocked.

"Why the dramatic entrance?", She heard a boy voice clearly he was pissed.

"C'mon quit it. I brought a guest".

Justin frowned looking past Amy to see the guest, "357!?"

"Hi", She waved walking in.

"You've got to be kidding me", He rose from his seat displeased, "Amy why is she here? How did you bring her here?".

Amy rolled her eyes picking up a pistol from a here by table, "It wasn't that hard. She's here now that's all that matters".

"You know you will piss the commander right?. Why are you always causing trouble!?".

"I'm not causing trouble... I thought she was going to be bored that why I brought her here", Amy turned looking at Grace who looked confused, "Grace is this Justin".

"I am not interested with the introduction", Justin cut in.

"Don't mind him... He can be like that sometimes", Amy smiled, "So welcome to my or maybe his room. I like to call it like that", She looked at the pistol aiming it at Grace.

"Whoa!!", Justin exclamed in fright, "What are you doing??!!".

"Nothing... Checking out the gun", Amy replied calmly while Grace didn't move even if her heart was pounding like crazy, "I'm just having fun".

'Is this what she calls fun?', Grace wondered.

"Do you know why your parents left?", Amy questioned not putting away the gun, "Do you want to know?".

"Are you trying to make me feel bad?", Grace clenched her fist as she asked.

"No... Like I said I am having fun".

Justin stepped forward hoping to stop her, "Amy listen... This isn't the time and the place to fight. If you can jus...".

"You told you I'm fight? I just want to see a real Anti-being".

Grace swallowed her saliva, her palms became sweaty. How can she be so foolish to follow this person? She should have learned her lesson at their first meeting. It's clear that Amy doesn't like her. She mentally slapped her forehead.

"Can you show us a real Anti-being Grace?".

"She doesn't know how to fight yet Amy", Justin spoke, "Drop the gun".

"If you keep on talking I will have no choice to shoot you first Justin".

"Why do you believe that I'm a Anti-being? I couldn't even protect my parents and the people who saved me!, I couldn't even protect myself. How am I an Anti-being then?"

Amy didn't say anything but she didn't drop the gun, her eyes narrowed,"You didn't ty to save them, you were to scared to try", She said in a mocking tone, "Why were you scared to try. That's why they are dead".

"Don't you say that!", Grace yelled, "You don't know what happened!"

"Well I do know everything", She dropped the gun, "You were scared that you wanted to run away".

"Stop saying that"

"Amy stop".

"What? Are you going to cry now?", She asked.

"Is this why you brought me here?", Grace questioned.

"Yes", Amy answered, "You breaking down is not going to make your enemies have sympathy on you. It's going to be your weakness".

"Amy", Justin cut in, "This isn't the right teaching".

"It is. She has a lot of enemies and she is too broken to fight".

"Excuse me, you can't discuss my issues in front of me", Grace yelled.

"You are not the commander to decide her training", Justin argued.

"I don't care about the commander...".

"YOU SHOULD!!", He yelled making Grace to jump back a liitle, "You know the rules Amy and you are breaking them".

For sometime Amy didn't speak but her raging eyes could tell her words. Justin didn't know how he got the courage to yell at 163, he swallowed his own saliva nervously as his hands trembled.

"What is this tension here?", A voice came from the door. They turned their attention to it, "I guess you broke the rules again Amy", Zara said her eyes narrowing from Grace to Amy then Justin, "She shouldn't be here", She reminded seriously.

"I was just talking to her in a friendly way", Amy shrugged.

"A friendly way indeed", Zara crossed her arms and sighed, turning her attention to Grace, "If you are not allowed to leave your room, don't step out".

Grace nodded in understanding, "Okay".

"Good. Now Amy...".

"I don't need you to tell me what to do and not what to do. I am my own boss. I'm not a puppet", She walked out.

"Sorry about that", Zara apologised, "163 has a very bad temper".

"I've notices", Grace smiled.

"So you already know 483?".

"Just met him".

"I wanted to stop Amy from doing stupid things", Justin immediately said, "She too stubborn"

"I know. She is stubborn, we all are".

"What is wrong with you Damon!?", Jessica yelled, "Am I not enough?".

"Leave".

"No!!", She stomp her feet hard on the floor, "Do you think it's easy to look at you from afar? Do you think it's easy to be close to you and not touch you!?".

"I don't care about your desires Jessica!!, you are not Kate!!!".

"She is dead!!".

Jessica didn't understand Damon obsession about Kate Queen, all her life she has tried so hard to get his attention. And she did it, the night Kate left with her soon to be husband... Damon was so drunk that they slept together... But for once Damon didn't call her name he kept on calling Kate'e name while they were having s*x!!. It hurt her.. And he is too blind to see it... He is to blind to see the love she has for him.

"If it was possible to bring Kate back from the dead would you have done it?", She asked pained

"Yes", He answered tuning to look at her, "Yes I will. Then I will wipe her memories and make her mine!".

"Then what about me?".

"You have no place in my life Jessica Gomez... There is no future and no past. You are nothing to me".

Jessica eyes became wet within seconds, nodding she picked up her handbag making her way to the door.. But Damon voice stopped her..

"And Jessica... I hope you find someone. You don't need me in your life. You are not worth it".

Those words hurt her deeply, but she turned with a bitter smile, "You will regret the day you were born Damon Queen. I will make sure of it. You will die a painful death and nobody will remember your name and that is a promise".

He scoffed, "I will like to see you try".

Jessica held her tears dashing out of the room.
