I'M NOT YOURS TO CONTROL Book 1 (TOH)

Chapter 40: Side Effects

Hunter pov:

Gus has been very quiet for the past hour its odd, it's not like him to be this quiet, also as we watch the movie gus found he's been staring at me, intensely, like he wants to ask me something but remains silent, but when I catch him, he quickly looks away as if he was always watching the television, something up with him and I wanna know what it is that causing it but I don't want to force him, maybe its just me, maybe its nothing, as we were now an hour in the movie, I caught him again, looking at me before returning his gaze to the TV, I gave up at just ignoring it, I grabbed the remote and paused the movie,

" gus, what's the issue, and don't give me some bullshit excuse," I told him upfront. He looked uncertain, uncomfortable really but he spoke up,

" There's been something on my mind, something that I need to know. Well, I already know the answer, but I need to hear it from you, hunter. Are you a grimwalker?"

Gus asked. This made my heart skip a beat, my eyes widden in shock..... he knows, how does he know, luz wouldn't betray my trust... would she? Nonono, she would never, my face turned from shock and horror to abnormal and serious, as well as uncomfortable but, I have to tell him, it's not like he dosent know, also I can't lie to him just look at him, who could ever lie to him,

" y- yes, I'm a grimwalker,"

" ohh, w-wow, I don't know why im surprise by your response, it's.... just crazy, " gus responded,

" You probably hate me now, don't you?"

" What... no, hunter, I don't hate you. Why would I?"

" Well, because I'm, well I'm a clone, a clone of a dead man, a clone from many other clones that were butchered by him, I'm a freak, an abomination,"

" no your not, you may be a clone but your you, your not what he made you to be, I can't believe he did that to you, them, and his own brother, he's the abomination hunter, not you"

" Wait, how do you know about his brother, I never told you about him," I asked him, his face turned red, realizing his error,

" Oh, well, when we were all fighting belos, I tried to calm him down, but... I ended up seeing everything about him, from who is parents are, all the sick shit he did, and the abuse he did to you, it was like I was there, in the coner watching it all happen, but not being able to do anything to stop it, it was tourtcher"

" I'm sorry you had to see that gus,"

" I'm sorry you had to go through that. It must have been hard for you and luz to keep that secret...... and the secret that luz helped belos and kinda caused all of this to happen. "

" You... you know that too, gus, you can't tell anyone about this, it will destroy he -"

" I know, I know, no one should know about this, when I found out, I saw luz differently, I ofcorce forgave her, its not like she knew all of this would had happened but, I don't know if the others would see it through my point of view"

" Exactly, we have to keep this to ourse-"

The door suddenly opened and slammed shut, me and gus quickly stopped talking and looked at who was there, amity, amity was in front of the door with a very red face, you could see the anger coming from her face, did she hear us?

" ummm, hi ami-"

" Shut up, hunter, can't deal with your bullshit today," she said as she left to the kitchen. You could hear chairs being knocked down and her huffing and puffing,

" ummm, I'ma go check on her. You be okay while I'm gone?"

" yea, go check on her,"

Gus got up and left, leaving me alone...... with my thoughts, everything seemed to get darker once he left, like the sun had disappeared, only the TV screen gave light to the room, goosebumps came running down my arm, my hair stood up, and my gut was telling me I was in danger, I could feel someone stand behind me, his breath hitting my neck, my heart was beating faster and faster by the second I was petrified, what in the titan is going on, I tried to stand but my body screamed in pain,
