Chapter 6

I stare at the 'Level 2' sign infront of me, and my luck fades. I drop to my knees and curl myself in a ball. I don't cry.  I won't cry. I can't cry. I shiver on the cold cement of the street.

 I stop once I feel a shadow hovering over me and a warm hand on my shoulder. I look up and see Hunter with a serious, but concerned face.

"Are you okay?"

"No, it's not an exit. And I haven't found Alex. This is terrible. What am I going to do? What if I die before I can rescue him" I look deeply in those dark blue eyes, looking for any confidence I saw before, but I didn't. I felt something else, but I couldn't explain it.

He sighed and looked away. I knew he was looking for something comforting to say, but what? Anything he might say truthfully, will get my attention and will automatically be described as a lie. Which will only bring me down even more. He was here too, unable to his or my possibility of surviving.

 Just then, I felt a vibrate come from my bag. Hunter shot me a look. "You have a phone with you?"

"No" I rummage through my bag and find projector. I press the button and that b*****d appears, smiling.

"Hello Justice"

"B*****d, where is my brother?"

He laughs,"Calm down, I'm actually surprised that you took the projector. Including the other things that I have found missing. Your the first, nice work."

 I gritted my teeth. I don't need no damn encouragement for him! Hunter took the projector from my possession.

"Ah! Your here too Hunter!"

"I'm going to kill you."

"Now settle yourself. We've talked about this. I'm glad you've met each other. With Hunter's intelligence and strength and Justice's skills and awareness, you'll make it..... I hope." He checked his watch."Unfortunately, I have to leave. A new victim has entered. Good bye and good luck!" And it shut off.

I grabbed the sides of my head and closed my eyes."I can't do it. We have spent 2 days already and I'm already losing my mind!"

 I feel my hands being pried away from my face, and I see Hunter's face searching mine. I could feel my cheeks getting hot.

"Listen I know your tired and out of your mind. Trust me, I am too, but I choose not. You came here for your brother and your going to find him.With me. We'll make it, no matter what. I am not going to die in this fake hell, and I know that don't want to either. So let's go." The warmth that he gave me was outstanding. He let go and began to walk down the street. It took me a minuet before I followed.

Yea I tried to add a little of an awkward romance in it, but how do you think?
