Chapter 19 - THE FALL OF THE NORTH.

Well, I found myself in a room filled with people, all dressed neatly in white robes.

What the hell is going on' even I could never possibly provide an answer.

" Do you know why you are here?"

A man said beside me, he is the only one that wore a brown silk robe.

" Don t look surprised, you'll be fine " he added.

" Where am I?" I asked the man.

He let out a laugh before replying me.

" Am blind kiddo how can I know " he said making some old folks around to chuckle.

" How can you be blind and know am a kid, as well as me being surprised?" I sad a bit in amusement.

" That's an answer for another day kiddo, we'll be with you all the way but it's not your time yet " he said.

He turned facing me, his eyes were having no piece of an eyeball not even a skin, it was just empty and dark.

" Holy sh*t " I screamed stumbling to the ground.

" Do I look terrifying, wait till you see your reality " he said in a way his voice wasn't audible but I heard him clearly.

Before I could say or do anything, I woke up in the arms of my therapist, martine craftford.

" Are you okay?" She whispered.

I was about yearning out loud in pain when her hands clapped around my mouth.

I couldn't move or say anything all I can do was feel the pain heaving all around my body.

" You have to keep your pain to yourself, endure it Elliot or we are going to be killed " she said in whispers, her eyes were teary, I think she has been crying for a while.

" What....abo..ut...my friends " I said in struggles the moment she released my mouth.

" I don't know,but we need to get out of this base, it has been infiltrated by monsters, can you imagine how the hell is it possible?" She muttered.

That was all it took to bring back my memory, the judicator is not a normal being, and hell yeah we have to get out of here.

" What about everyone else?" I said this time my voice came out fine.

" They are all turning heads and killing anyone they feel is the cause of the blast " she replied me.

I forced myself up, not alone though, martine helped me up.

I took a peak through the opening of the window. The whole northern base on fire.

" So I caused all this " I muttered.

" Are you the one behind the blast?" She asked.

Knowing fully well her question will not get an answer from me, I ignored her.

" We need to leave the base " I said to about walking out.

Even if I was acting bold in front of martine, my mind kept beating faster, i am still thinking about Jenner and the others, are they safe? Did they flee the base? Did I do the right thing?.

I kept asking myself questions i couldn't be able to give reasonable answers.

The base alarm started ringing. The radio turned on.

" My fellow warmen this is your general speaking, it has come to my notice that a certain soldier amongst us has betrayed us for a reason we can't explain, it has been declared that Elliot heaves is a wanted soldier, find, if he resist, kill " the radio went off.

I couldn't find myself, i became numb instantly, I am now a wanted man in the north, where do I run to? I killed the thought immediately, knowing well that to survive out there is an impossible motive a sane person will never follow.

" Is there an Access to the basement?" I asked martine without looking at her.

" If there is, what then?" She replied.

" Am planning on ending things " I answered her.

" So the plan has changed?".

" Not really, just spicing the plan a little bit " I said smiling at her.

We left the room where we were hiding, and started sneaking into the basement avoiding everyone but us. It will be kind of weird what am about to do, but it's the only way.

The basement in the north is linked to it's crude and power lines project, so a little fire will take down everything.

We got in knocking out the guards at the door.

" Here we are " I announced.

" Why am I here?" Martine asked me looking around to make it obvious that even if she knows the way to the basement she hasn't been inside.

" I just need your assistance for a short period " I answered.

She looked at me with a kind of expression that asks what it was.

" You will help me turn off the fuel pump and equally the light supply, that's all " I said smiling.

I could tell she understood immediately what I was doing so she rushed to me.

" You are going to take down the base, what about everyone else? Your colleagues, and communication, and aircopters, how would we get out of here without no aircopter, we'll be snacks to those monsters " she said somewhat angry.

" For a therapist you are a bit angry " I said ignoring her words.

" You haven't answered my question " she said.

" Look martine, I have family, I have friends, like you I'll do anything like blowing up the north to protect them. The north is now a figure and a start to our damnation, if we don't act now and it spreads, which it will, I don't think we'll have a family to protect " I said.

The way her mode went down was saying a lot to me, first she doesn't want to die, and second there's something still keeping her active till now.

" So are you with me?" I asked lastly as she gave a nod.

We turned off the valve, and the power immediately died off. We hurriedly closed the fuel pumps.

" What's the timer?" I asked.

" Five minutes " she answered.

We started running finding our way out of the base.

The base was out of commission, the warmen were searching and running towards the basement.

I noticed the sky were dark, it was about to rain.

" It's now or never" I muttered to martine who is in panic.

And it started, the pipeline blew, and plus the heat with a few warmen holding lighters and torches, it became a blast.

I began feeling that martine was right, the plan is a bad idea.

We needed to get out fast because the pipes go all through the base, and with the fire it's just a matter of time before it reaches us.

We were still running when I heard.

" Private Elliot heaves " it was the judicator.

I stopped, turned facing him.

" You think it's over, it's just the beginning, more like me will come, and you'll wish you had followed my genuine plan " he said looking at me with a wasteful expression.

I watched as the ground he stood exploded with him.

" Run " I shouted as I and martine continued our journey, to get as far as we could.

Looking at the damage around us, I don't think we'll make it.

The cloud opened and we were running in the downpour, it got tons point that we became hopeless, until we saw our rescue.

An aircopter flew passed us and landed in front of us, so we ran quickly into it, where I saw Jenner and the others inside but I couldn't thank them I only screamed.

" Go "

We took off, I looked out the window, and I couldn't believe my eyes, the northern base is no more, it was just Ash and smoke covering the air with explosions rocking the earth.

" So where to sir?" Edward said from the cockpit.

" Where we need to be, the south ".
