《Promise》Chapter 6: Two faces of a coin
Advertisement
The three of them were stunned and disapproving of the fact that Kyle and Liam was following them and saying that they violated their privacy, to which Kyle kindly replied:
“ Do you really think that I care. When you are awaken in the middle of nowhere with strange people that you don’t know, who then act shaddy and rude as fuck, Do you really i would care about their ‘privacy’ ?”. he said in a straight face with no hesitation.
Of course what he did normally would be wrong, but in this certain circumstance, you couldn’t really blame him, if you could have, you would have probably done the same.
Silence again filled the air, Allan, Maria and Luna slowly understand that their actions from another point of view was not as innocent as they seem.
“ And that not even the stupid part” Kyle continued.
The three were lectured again this time it was about how naive they react and how stupid their plans were. From Kyle's eyes, when the sphere appeared, the three of them started panicking like headless chickens, asking random questions, not listening to detail. The moment they heard the words ‘die’, they were already trembling. He pointed out one key detail that they miss which could be a clue that they all miss because as Kyle said “ you all were just standing there shitting yourselves”. The glowing sphere said that it would not be fun or fair. Kyle explain why:
“ We are being watched by someone, the ‘fun’ part was not meant for us, I think that was meant for someone else observing us. Like it said this is a game, a show and it would need an audience, and like any CW TV show ( CW famous for creating drama with hot character, over the top drama and a diverse cast), it would not be fun if their character the casted die in the first episode”.
The three were stunned, they did not notice that and even if they did it was doubted that they could come to such a conclusion. “ Who is this guy?” they asked themselves. A very good question, though it was on them that they panic so much that they miss all the clues and warnings, it was still reasonable, anyone in their shoes would probably react the same, so Why not Kyle.

“ And then a brilliant knight in shining armor came to the rescue” Liam sarcastically said. Kyle and Liam then pointed out exactly what actually happened in that moment. Allan at that moment can’t keep his eyes away from the two girls, even in a fucked up situation like that, with his back turned away from Kyle and Liam, facing the girls he shouted everyone to stay calm and continued to waste time overly checking for the girls well being before coming up with a stupid plan sound straight out of those B movies action adventure. Just keep moving and hope for the best, that was it, no plans for food, water, shelter or in case of danger, nothing just follow this handsome knight and everything would be ok and the worst thing was Maria and Luna all follow him like sheeps, if Allan was the fool, the Luna and Maria must be crazy because the do exactly what the fool did without a question and applauded him like some kind of mastermind, making is ego grow even bigger.
Liam admitted that Kyle wanted to splited from the group right then, but it was Liam who convinced Kyle to stick to the group as he quoted : “ come on, who know maybe they would surprise you” and “ can you really live with yourselves if something would have happened to them when we could easily do something to help, they look like deers in front of headlights”. Kyle reluctantly went with them but did nothing to help them to see if they were worth it, and oh boy, were they disappointed.
The three of them lead the group from one mistake to the next.
“ Getting direction from the sun, my ass !” Kyle said. : “ you did not look at it once and you probably don’t know which side the sun rises or sets either.”
They were walking in a random direction and ended up ziczacing all over the place. Instead of focusing on the way to make sure that they were going in a straight direction, the three were just chatting on the way with one another and bad mouthing Kyle and Liam in the back, just like some highschoolers on a field trip, yelling nonsense words like “ Salvation is near !”. “No planning ahead at all”, Liam complained, with all their big words like “make sure to find some food” or “be sure to make a fire before it get dark”, the three did not do any of them and if not for Liam and Kyle to step in their would have spent the night in the mercy of the bone chilling cold wind.

“But the worst thing was your heads were so on the cloud that you did not pick up an important warning” Kyle calmly said. “ The bones in the hollow ground, do you remember them?”. The image of the scater bones once again filled their head and Allan, Maria and Luna’s faces were bloodless once again.
“You guys were so eager to get away from the scene that you did not notice that there was an obvious stab wound on the side of the skull. And when I climbed down for more clues, I found an arrowhead. That person was mudder by someone else and we were not alone in this place.” Kyle concluded.
That why Kyle was so angry at Allan when he decided to choose an open area in the forest to make camp for the night and put a big campfire, “ It was like you wanted to be ambushed, if it's not human, dangerous unknown wild animal could also be lured into the camp because of it” Kyle said “ On top of that, you all fell asleep the moment you lay down, no one was keeping guard, you guys were suspicious as fuck about me but still sleep like there was nothing going on. If I did not stay awake to keep watch we all would have died already”. Their faces were full of shock and shame but still there was a lingering question in their minds, how did he do it, how was he so calm and calculated in a situation like this, how did he know exactly what to do.
With Kyle dagger eyes looking straight at Allan, he knew what Kyle was going to said next, the fact that he left Luna to die in the hand of the bad guys from last night, but unexpectedly what they got was:
“You were looking forward to be scolded by what you did last night did you not, no one can blame you for it, if you were to turn back, it would just be suicide.” Kyle said. Somehow that made Allan feel even worse though he was somewhat pleased that Kyle rampage had almost ended. End just as how this ‘conversation’ started, Kyle ended it like nothing had happened
“ you all stay here, Liam and I will climb up this hill to get a better look at the surroundings to see if there is any way to get out of the forest”. The two of them leave right away and silently fill the room, Allan, Maria and Luna did not know what to say to themselves nor how they should react to this, all they felt now was shame and just happy in a way that they were still alive.
When Liam and Kyle were some distance away from the rest of the group, Liam casually said: “You went a little too harsh on them you know, that did not sound like how you normally act at all”. Kyle responded with his normal cold, dagger eyes looking straight at Liam.
“ You can cut the act, no one can see us from here, and fix that messy hair of yours, you look ridiculous”. Liam annoyingly responded back at Kyle.
“That was exhausting”, Kyle with a normal smile on his face, for the first time since they arrived in this forest, he was genuinely smiling , fixing his hair, back to one of those typical man undercut hairstyles, it was like he was another person all together. Kyle was good looking after all, unlike Liam or Allan with a warm and friendly charm that made the other feel attracted to them. Kyle has that cold and calculated devilish look to him but still attractive nonetheless.
