Days Thereafter
Chapter 42
Xie’s POV
I watch as the girl goes up the stairs, and then I follow her. I make my way up quietly and look around. I sneak my through the door and hide behind a bookshelf.
“Ara?” I peek around the shelf and see the girl walking around, looking for Ara.
I’m just going to sit here and wait for Ara.
Your POV
“Ara?” I start walking around all the book shelves. I make my way to the back of the library.
Still no sign of Ara…
I start to make my way back to the front when the lights shut off.
Ara’s POV
I can see everything she does from where I am. I can see everything. As soon as she starts walking back to the front, I pull the lever, cutting all the lights in the building off.
“Ara? I’m still up here!” I can hear her walking around and bumping into things.
I start walking closer towards her. I’m getting even closer….
She makes this so easy with her noise. Just as I go around a corner the lights suddenly come back on.
“What the hell?” I mutter
“Thanks Ara!” I hear.
Who the hell turned the lights back on??
Xie’s POV
Ara’s games are getting tiring.
I flip the generator switch and make all the lights come back on.
Time to get this bitch.
Your POV
As soon as the lights come back on I breathe a sigh of relief.
“Thanks Ara!” I yell.
Let’s get out of here.
I start heading towards the staircase to go downstairs when I feel an awful pain on my scalp. I let out a scream and turn and see Ara’s angry face.
“You’re not leaving Bitch!” She pulls my hair so hard that I fall to the ground.
She kicks me in the ribs and laughs as I try to crawl away. The shock of the situation is making it hard for me to make actual decisions.
“You know what this is about don’t you?” She spits at me.
“No! Why?! Why are you doing this?!” I answer honestly.
“You can’t HAVE JIMIN!” She runs at me and grabs a fist of my hair, bringing my face closer. I can see her beautiful face, her rage filled eyes, an ugly sneer.
“You’re a psychopath.” I whisper loud enough for her to hear, the realization becoming very clear. I can see her ball up her fist, and then she brings it to the side of my face. She throws in a punch after punch. I try and block the best I can, most of her blows hitting my arms.
“You’re not even that pretty.” She says breathlessly. She pushes me against the floor. I hurry to my feet and start heading for the stairs. I don’t make it very far before she tackles me and pushes something against my back.
“Why would he even choose you? I mean, after having to take care of you, seeing how needy and annoying you were… who would want that?” She says sweetly in my ear.
“I even went as far as to make your best friend disappear. Jin even tried helping me. He still choose to stay with someone as lowly as you.” Her words are like ice water.
“What did you just say?” I choke out of my tightening throat.
“You heard me, I got Jin to help me kill your best friend by blowing her up. Pretty simple, she wasn’t in any pain either.” She says it so carefree it’s sickening.
My eyes water at the thought of Megan. How could Jin do this? He really is a monster. I don’t even want to fight anymore.
As soon as I relax I hear a ruckus and feel the pressure taken off of my body.
Jin’s POV
I run as many red lights as I can and go around people, trying to keep at least 15 miles above the speed limit.
I can’t be late. I’ve already messed up enough.
It takes me about 5 minutes to get to the library. I look at all the windows and see _________ walking around on the top floor.
Nothing’s happened yet…
Just before my eyes the lights go off. I run to the front and pull on the door as hard as possible.
It’s locked! I start to panic and look for the closest thing available. I see a brick laying at the base of the stairs.
As soon as I get the glass to break I carefully walk through the door and into the black library.
I keep my hands out in front of me and try to find a light switch. I feel nothing but the wall.
Suddenly the lights come back on. I find myself heading towards a coffee station. I turn around and see a strange man creeping up the stairs.
“Wait! Who are you?!” I call out.
“So, we meet again Jin.” I feel the color drain out of my face as I see it’s Ara’s bodyguard.
Be Strong.
“I need to go get her.” I walk towards him.
“Ara?” He asks confused.
“No, the girl I hurt.” I say. I can hear her scream and I try to run up to her, but the man grabs me by my collar.
“You leave Ara to me. Understand?” I nod along, confused.
He lets me go forcefully and I run up the stairs as fast as I can. I almost trip but I make it up and see Ara sitting on her, with something pressed to her back. I no longer think but run and tackle Ara.
The look of fear on her face doesn’t last and turns to anger. I try to pin her down with my body the best I can but she keeps wiggling. She frees her arm and stabs me in the arm. I let out a loud moan, but turn away from her, the knife sticking out of my arm.
“You deserve to die Jin. You ARE on my list, but I have priorities.” She takes out a gun from wherever it was hidden and points it at my head.
“Lets take care of you for right now, and then bigger fish.” She swings her arm over and down and shoots my leg.
I let out a scream but turn away from her and towards where ______ is. She’s sitting up, looking horrified with tears in her eyes.
“________ RUN!” I yell. I kick Ara’s foot from under her and see her go down too.
The bald guy walks over to Ara and restrains her easily. I hear running and see Jimin running straight towards ________.
Jimin’s POV
As soon as I hear the scream I start panicking and moving around faster. I can’t find the damn door any where. I can hear so many sounds, wrestling and footsteps. It’s when I hear something shatter that i finally calm myself enough to properly search for the door handle. It takes me a little more time but I finally feel the cold metal knob. I push through the door and hear a gunshot. I run into the lobby and find the stairs.
“_______ RUN!” I hear Jin yell. I run up the stairs two at a time and find her. She’s running to the other exit, but stops when she sees me. I look over and see Xie pinning Ara down. I run to ______ and embrace her tight.
Her body shakes and she grabs me too.
“Are you okay?” I ask her. She nods and lets me go.
“We have to help Jin.” She whispers.
I look over and see Xie has handcuffed Ara and gagged her mouth. He throws her over his shoulder and almost runs down the stairs.
Your POV
I let go of Jimin and walk over to Jin. He’s trying to sit up. I help him up and get him to sit in a chair.
I don’t know what to say to him. I feel almost numb. I can’t be angry at Jin right now.
“Why did you do it.” I mutter
“What?” he looks scared.
“You helped her kill Megan?” I look at him, not being able to really feel my face or body.
“I didn’t know what she was going to do I swear! She wanted me to tell her things about you and her and I just went along…” He trails off, hanging his head in shame.
“Did you know about this?” I turn around and ask Jimin.
“He didn’t know anything.” Jin speaks up.
Jimin glowers at Jin, giving him a stare that would kill.
“WHO’S IN HERE?!” we hear a man yell from downstairs.
“We’re upstairs! Please send help!” Jimin rushes to the stairs and yells down.
A swarm of police officers come up to us before I can ask anymore questions to anybody.
