Team Edge Fanfiction

Chapter 13- Escape

"What do you mean??"

          Gunner gave me a concerned look when I told him it was getting worse.

"What happened in the mall just a few minutes ago. If you hadn't stopped me...."

"What?"

"I would have killed him and not have any guilt. No remorse. I don't know if I can handle this anymore."

"Hey! Don't do this! I know what your thinking and I'm not going to let it happen! I can't live without you. I love you too much and it would break me to pieces to see you gone like that."

I understood what he was saying but he was right. I couldn't do what I was thinking because I knew how much it would hurt him. But, anytime I walked past someone that I don't trust I want to kill them. And I wish there was another way around this stupid curse.

         Gunner sat down next to me and put a hand on mine and looked at me. I didn't have the heart to look at him.

"My father was like me. Anytime he was around people he felt threatened. When I first arrived at the Team Edge space I felt threatened to by Matt, J-Fred, Bryan, Connor, Bobby, Billy, Amanda, Sarah, and at one point..........i felt threatened by you."

His gaze became petrified with fear. He let go of my hand and stood up. He walked a few inches away from me and kept his back to me.

"I'm sorry that I never told you. I didn't know how."

I stood from where I was standing and looked at him.

"If you want me to go then all you have to tell is go away. I never want to see you again. Or not say anything at all. Then I know you don't want me around. But one thing for sure is that after I got to know you and everyone else, the threatening sense went away."

He stood there quietly. And didn't say anything. I nodded my head and started to walk away into the forest. When he turned around I had completely disappeared.

"Cassie!!!???"

There was no response. Just quiet. As I stood behind a tree, tears began to roll down my cheeks.

"*"I'm so sorry gunner. But I have no choice. I must leave you. To keep you and the others safe from my evilness. I will return once I have learned to control my curse and can live in peace with others. This is your escape from me. It will keep you safe."*"

My thoughts ran rapid through my head as I said my last goodbyes to him without saying it to him. I truly did love him and it was the only way to keep him safe.

"I love you"
