Chapter 22: Chapter 22 Loss

"No. It can't be true." I managed a faint whisper.

"But it is." Will answered, his tone was stone cold.

His gun trained in my direction.

"Drop your weapons, now!"

"Will, what are you doing?" I screamed.

His eyes trained on me, it was difficult to make out his expression, the tunnel was too dark, illuminated by only Tobey's and Rachel's flashlights.

"You've already made the mistake of trusting me. Don't make another one, drop your weapons now and no one gets hurt." He said calmly.

His tone was casual, like he didn't realize he was killing me on the inside with his words, torturing my soul. I wanted to scream, I wanted to shake him and bring him back to his senses, but I couldn't move.

How could Will do this?

This wasn't the man I had come to love.

No, this was a monster.

"You bastard! You're such a pathetic coward. I can't believe I was stupid enough not to realize this sooner. I wish I'd killed you the moment I saw you." Jacob sneered, balling his hands into fists.
