Part 8

Trinity

»»»»§««««

The night grows on, and our hope of surviving grows weaker. That was until a glimmer of hope shot out from the most unlikely place.

"I'm not here to fight, I'm here to propose a truce."

"Why should we trust you?"

"It's something that will help all of our efforts, but I found it!"

"Found what?" Lauren asked worried.

"A way out!"

"Oh my god! Trinity, this is it. Our chance of surviving this mess!"

"Maybe..." I said awkwardly.

"I promise you, I'm being honest!" James pleaded. 

"Nope, I'm not buying it."

"Look, Trinity. I get it, you have your reasons, but I have mine too. We need for this to be true. For me, for you."

"Fine. I think we should trust him, because I'm trusting you.

"Thank you, Trinity. I truly think he can get us out of here."

"Whatever."

"Okay, James. Lead the way." Lauren said beginning to follow him.

'I really hope we don't regret this...'

We walked back out into a hall full of pillars and he whispered "C'mon. It's this way."

"I don't see why you don't trust him." Lauren said bluntly.

"Really, Lauren? He is one of the main guys who did all of that insane man's dirty work!"

"His name is Darius Blackwell. And I'm being legitimate, I think James has been hurt by Darius too. I think he just wants to help."

"I don't know, my instincts are telling me not to get attached."

"Alright, girls. Is this going to take you two all day? You've been standing there for almost 3 minutes now."

"We are coming. Come on, Trinity. We'll be fine."

"I hope your right." I said and we hurried after James.

"Ah, you always were predictable, James." Darius's voice said and we all jumped in shock.

"Shit, how long have you two been on to us?" Lauren blurted glancing from Darius to the monster.

"Oh, Lauren. You never left my sight."

"Well, now you got us. What are you going to do this time?" I said boldly.

"Can. Kill. Them?" The monster croaked.

Blackwell turned towards the monster "Soon, I promise."

'This is my shot, while he isn't looking!'

I charged at him and before I could reach him, he quickly turned towards me and shot me.
