Blood

27.

Last night was like a dream. Sleeping with Cole. Impossible.

Well you obviously like him, I remember C.T's words.

Maybe. Maybe I did like him.

The flap opens and I leap off the bed and smoothen my hair,"C.T?"

"Whoa, whoa." Says Daniel,"Its not C.T."

"Sorry." I apologize to Cara's brother.

"Cole is asking for you."

"Oh, I'll be there in a minute."

"You look happy." He grins cheekily.

"Maybe I am." I say sharply.

"Fair enough." He waggles his eyebrows and disappears.

I clean up and make myself presentable before heading out.

The campers are huddled in groups, chattering while having breakfast.

C.T, Cara, Jamie, Edgar, Rhonda and Jay come over.

"What's the plan for today?" She asks in a serious tone, simultaneously smirking at me.

I avert my eyes,"We...uh, we're going to plot the locations of the land mines on the map."

Rhonda nods,"We should visit the possible areas. The map doesn't mark everything..."

I nod,"Good idea, we should go."

"Can I borrow Lisa for a few minutes?"

Cole.

I'd recognize that voice anywhere. I turn to face him.

"Go." C.T says. I can feel her smirking.

I follow Cole into his tent.

"What?"

"We've found out how they plan to attack."

"Tell me." I say eagerly.

"You know that the force field doesn't electrocute us from the Outside right?"

"Uhuh."

"Well they're splitting into two groups. One will be ready to attack through the southeast and the other group plans to enter through the oxygen pump rooms and disable the force field."

"They're not using the gate?"

"Nope. They don't want to alert the Inside until the force field is disabled."

"Okay."

"Also..."

"What?" I press. I hope it isn't about last night.

"The Afrikans believe in prophecies..."

"So?"

"One of them predicted that one of us are going to foil their plans."

"Good. They should ditch their plans."

"Moving on... We've sent troops to the south east to keep a look out."

"All we have to do now is plant the mines." I shrug.

"If the Commander agrees." Cole nods.

---

After a long chat with the Commander we take a trek to the south east which happened to be close to the Afrikan camp.

We scout the woods and marking possible locations for the mines.

The force field shimmers like a soap bubble.

I stand about a hundred meters away from the force field, with C.T.

I stare into the force field. I know this part of the city. It's behind the Factors. Tyler and I used to hang out here when we had time between the slots.

I gasp. Sitting on the familiar stone bench is-

"Tyler." I whisper.
