Chereads / The Dull Heart / Chapter 7 - Chapter 7

Chapter 7 - Chapter 7

Aki and Dante have decided on a plan on how to get the others back. It was a little risky for the two of them but the others dying or even getting hurt was NOT an option. There was a chance that this wasnt going to work, but they had to try. If Aki and Dante had to die to save everyone else, then so be it. They would die heros anyways; all eight rebels were considered heroes. As for the other five-thousand rebels, they all went back to where they came from. They thought the rebellion was over, guess not.

With the captures

They were beaten and laughed at by the armed men that captured them. They were tired, hungry, thirsty, hurt, and embarrassed. They only hope lies on Aki and Dantes shoulders. They were convinced that the two of them had come up with a plan and were already on their way to free them. One could only hope. They never said a word to anyone about the fact that Aki and Dante werent with them. They were hoping that the guards wouldnt notice. Luckily, they hadnt yet. Suddenly, a guard walked up to them.

Well, well, well if it isnt the famous rebels. He sneered.

what do you want with us? Blanca asked.

Oh my god are you playing dumb or are you just that stupid?

HEY MAN! BACK OFF! Athos yelled.

Or what? the guard teased. Are you gonna glare me to death?

Athos didnt reply, he just growled.

Ooh, I know! You gonna intimidate me into opening the cage and letting you out! the guard wheezed.

SHUT UP! Catriona snapped. Youve already done enough.

HA! Thats a laugh!

What do you mean?

Oh honey do you really think that this is all thats going to happen to you? the guard snickered.

This isnt the half of it!

WE ALL KNOW THIS! NOW SHUT UP AND LEAVE US ALONE! Leviathan bellowed.

Ooh, so scary! the guard taunted.

I swear to god Rivin growled, If we go down, youre going with us.

OK, now youre just making me mad. The guard muttered.

He then took a set of keys from his belt and opened the door. He grabbed Catriona and threw her to the floor, outside the cage. Then he stepped out of the cage and locked it behind him.

Because you all made me mad, Im going to punish her. He grinned.

He grabbed a hand-full of Catrionas hair and dragged her away, with her screaming in pain and protest the entire time. A few minutes after they disappeared, they all heard something they really wished they hadnt; they could hear the cracking of a whip, mixed with Catrionas shrieks of agony. Rivin was clawing at the bars, sobbing. He blamed his self for what was happening to Catriona right now. If he hadnt ran his mouth, she would be here in his arms right now. This was all his fault.

After about fifteen minutes, a different guard dragged Catriona back and tossed her into the cage. She screamed in pain as her back hit the ground. Rivin immediately ran to her side. He started to pick her up, but she screamed for him not to touch her. Once she finally managed to stand up, she apologized to Rivin for yelling at him.

Then, she turned around and looked at the floor, she gasped, in the place where she landed, there was now a giant red blood stain. The second she turned around, she heard Rivins breath hitch. Her back looked awful; it was almost black from all the blood, and there were about five deep gashes from the whip. There was also a large purple bruise starting to form on the left side of her face where the guard had struck her. Rivin and the others were furious; but they had learned their lesson to never talk back to any of the guards. They just hoped that Aki and Dante have found a way to save them.

The next morning, the six of them were woke up exceedingly early by one of the guards. Apparently, someone had turned in another rebel, and asked to join the guard in return for their capture. The other guards agreed. The rebel that had been caught was Dante. The others were shocked. They immediately started asking him questions about Aki. He replied with; he thought the stupid bounty hunter that caught him, killed her. Leviathan and Rivin instantly burst into tears.

Then, one of the guards walked over to the cage, and said that he had assigned the new guard to watch them. Then he signaled for someone to come over there. The six rebels gasped. The new guard was Aki. She was unrecognizable by the guards because she had in colored contacts and she had cut and dyed her hair. She was in a camo uniform like the rest of the guards. She glared at the seven rebels and spit on the ground at their feet. The other guard laughed.

Youre alright, kid! He said, Uhh, what did you say your name was again?

Isobel! she chirped.

Ok then, Isobel. The guard grinned, Ill leave you to it.

And with that, he turned on his heel and strutted off.

Once her was out of sight, Aki turned and squealed in unison with Dante, SURPRISE!

The others were shocked, they honestly thought Aki was dead. Dante was a good liar. His little story was enough to convince the other rebels that Aki was dead. Aki said that she would let them out later that night. She had a plan.

Later that night, Aki had two shifts. The first was to watch the rebels, the second was to patrol the woods. Aki was already fifteen minutes into her second shift. The other guards that were chilling back at the base were conversing about Isobel, the hot new guard; The only female guard they had.

Suddenly, Isobel burst through the door, screaming about how she saw the last rebel in the woods. The other guards jumped up, told her to stay there and guard the rebels, that they would be back soon. Aki waited about two minutes after they had gone before she walked over to that cage, keys in hand, and opened the door. Rivin was carrying Catriona and Aki asked what happened, but Rivin told her he would tell her later. Aki told them the best way to get away from that place without getting caught and where to go afterwards. She said that she would meet them there later.

As soon as the rebels were gone, Aki took a piece of paper out of her pocket and laid it on the floor of the cage. Then she grabbed a bag and stuffed it full of bandages, clothes, food, clothes, and money. Then took out her walkie, pushed the button and said, Everybody please come back to the base. The last rebel managed to get past you guys. She tried to get the others out, but I stopped her; but not before she managed to stab me. Please come back, Im going to bleed to death. And with that, Aki laid the walkie down and took off. The other guards got there about six minutes later only to find the cage empty. One guard picked up the paper that Aki had put there and began to read it aloud. It said, Dear idiots, next time you take in a new guard, maybe you should do a background check on them. They might be someone you were looking for and didnt recognize. Your new guard was actually the last rebel. She had a plan to break out all the other rebels. You all walked right into her trap. Good luck finding and catching all eight rebels all over again. Sincerely, Aki, your newest guard.
