Chereads / THE APOCALYPSE : A DIABOLIC TALE / Chapter 16 - "CHAPTER 13 :TOTALLY CONFUSED"

Chapter 16 - "CHAPTER 13 :TOTALLY CONFUSED"

The letter in my hand contained a shocking revelation. It explained everything that had happened today and in the past few days, and it exposed the person who was behind it all. This is what it said:

Dear Aana,

You must be wondering what is going on and why I am writing to you. I have some important information that you need to know, even though it might be hard to believe. Everything that happened today was orchestrated by Percy. He has the power to manipulate minds, and he used it to calm Cupcake down. He is working with Dr Oliver de Vil, the evil scientist who is behind the apocalypse. He pretended to save you, but he betrayed you. He helped Dr Oliver with his plans, and I have proof of that. Do you remember the red rain that fell a few days ago? Anyone who got wet by it was infected by a virus that Dr Oliver created. The virus slowly took over their bodies and minds, turning them into his minions. I know this because I have been investigating him for a long time. I am your friend and I care about you, so I had to warn you. You are not safe there with Percy and Cupcake. You need to get out of there as soon as possible with your other friends. Percy has lied to you about many things, including Cupcake's origin. Cupcake was his pet before he met you, but he never told you that! If you trust me, please go to the address in this letter. It is a safe place where Dr Oliver won't find you.

Address: xxxxxxx...xxxxxxxx

Your well-wisher,

Axel.

The letter hit me like a bolt of lightning. It was a shocking revelation that shattered my world. I handed the letter to Hannah, who read it out loud for everyone to hear. Her voice trembled as she read the words. I felt numb and confused, standing there with a blank expression. I couldn't believe what was happening. It was like a nightmare that I couldn't wake up from. I blurted out, "Percy wouldn't do something like this, I don't think so." They all looked at me with uncertainty, but none of them said anything. They didn't know what to say. Axel had been very helpful and he was my friend too. Why would he lie to me? I had known him since childhood. I didn't know what to do next. Then the undead cat came back, opened the window and took the letter from me. She gave me a sinister grin and disappeared I felt like I was trapped in a time loop, a pessimist and a heartbroken one. I told them, "We have to leave tonight." But before I could move, Hannah grabbed my hand and stopped me. She said, "Hey girl, stop it. Stop it. Didn't you hear that Cupcake was Percy's pet before he met you? We don't know the truth. What if this letter is not from Axel, but from Oliver? What if he is trying to trick us? We can't make hasty and indecisive decisions. What if Axel is lying too? How did he know all this? He saved you many times, but how? At first, we thought he was the villain, but then he turned out to be your childhood best friend. Aana, even if he is, we can't trust anyone so easily. If he says Percy is working with Oliver, he could be too. Let's confirm it first. Let's ask Percy if Cupcake was his pet before. Let's clear this misunderstanding." So we took Cupcake with us and went to Percy's room......

I thought what Hannah said to be true I wished he wouldn't be lying and Cupcake wasn't his pet and I thought about my dream where Cupcake was given to me by someone who knew his ability........
