Chereads / Mekolan: A place with no Freedom / Chapter 20 - Night down

Chapter 20 - Night down

Mikaela and Nathan walked to the apartment. It was late at night. The view outside the streets were hard to see and they could barely see anything or anyone. Marcus heard the door locks open. He turned the television off and walked towards them. He took a closer look and realised Rachel is not with them. "Where is Rachel?" He asked. Mikaela and Nathan looked at each other. Mikaela looks down and takes a quick sigh. She crosses her arms together and looks at Nathan.

Marcus, not knowing the situation, stands there with confusion. He looks at Mikaela feeling unease and quickly examines her emotions.

"What happened?" He said. As soon as Mikalea was about to respond Rachel arrived behind them. They all looked at Rachel. Nathan responded to prevent the situation from getting more awkward, "Well time to take a shower" He walked to his room.

Mikaela added, "Me too" She heard Rachel calling for her but she wasn't in the mood. She needed time to think about what Nathana and Rachel said. She needs to rethink her methods, her ways to save Mekolan and get rid of crime. She needs time to cool down. She needs her alone time. She doesn't want to talk to Rachel at the moment she needs to think if she is making the right decisions. She walked away without making eye contact with Rachel.

Marcus looks at the scene with confusion. He asked Rachel, "Did something happen between you too that I missed?" Rachel looks at Marcus and ignores him. She walks straight to the showers to cool herself down. Questions spiralled in her. Maybe she was too harsh on Mikaela. Maybe the guys deserved it? She questioned her choices. Maybe she was too harsh on Mikaela. Maybe she didn't understand her well enough to know and to understand the reasons for Mikaela to be what she is.

She hurt her friend. She's never filled with no much guilt in her life. She wants to make things right with her. She wants to sit down and talk more about what her life has been like for her. Living in this shit place and having to go through so much pain and suffering because of a corrupt government.

She went to her room and quickly took a quick shower. She looks down at the bathroom floor and sighs. After she changed into her pajamas. She fold her clothes and place it neatly on the closet. She heard a knock on the door.

"Come in" she said, the door opened slowly. She looked at the door and saw Nathan. He said, "dinner is ready," she nodded and Nathan closed the door. After they had their lunch they went to bed. She off the lights and plot herself in bed. She closed her eyes and takes heavy breaths. It's about time she leaves Mekolan and return to time Square. She miss her friends, her family and she definitely know that everyone is worried sick of her disappearance. Suddenly, she heard her door open. She look out to see who it is and it was Mikaela.

"Hey." Mikaela said as she leaned against the door and holding the door knob. She had a worried face printed on her face and took a deep breath. She added, "may I come in?" Rachel nodded and Mikaela walked in and close the door . She turn on the lights and started to fidget with her fingers.

"I'm-"

"I'm sorry Mikaela" Rachel stopped Mikaela from finishing her sentence. Mikaela looked up with shock and tilted her head in confusion. Rachel took a deep breath and sit straight on her bed. She looked at Mikaela with a exhausted face and added,

"You don't have to apologise. You've gone through a lot. You thought what you did was the right thing. I may not understand it yet, but I'm willing to hear it out from you." Rachel added . Mikaela sighed in a sign of relief. But she felt a little guilty for traumatizing a little kid.

"But I'm still feel guilty for traumatizing the kid." Mikaela said.

"It's okay Mikaela really. You don't have to feel guilty at all. But maybe show some mercy. Don't kill them straight away, or torture them to death. You're doing it to protect them but think about the kids. They'll be traumatized Mikaela." Rachel said. Mikaela nodded. Her methods need to change. For the better. I may have keep this place from getting worse. However this place will forever have assholes and pedophiles who torture little kids for money or for their own benefit. What she needs to do and to get rid of the government. They need to be stopped. And they shall be stopped, tomorrow, night.
