《Promise》Chapter 7: behind the scene
Advertisement
Inside the cave entrance, three people were just sitting down, not saying a word to each other for the longest time before one of them finally spoke up.
“I didn't mean to do it,” Allan said with a frown face. “None of us did,” Luna continued.
They were telling the truth, they were not bad people, all they wanted to do was to get out of this place in one piece, they did not mean to harm or insult anyone but they did what they did and they knew that. It was like causing a car accident and killing someone. As a result, you may not mean to do it, but it doesn’t mean that you can get away with mudder. They were inexperienced thus they made stupid decsion, though there was not many excuse they can name for the obvisous discrimmination against Kyle and Liam though except for the fact that Kyle did look hella suspicious in their point of view. They felt sorry for their action, truly, and graceful for still being alive. But there were now more questions in their mind, “ How can Kyle know how to handle all of this fucked up problems so well, who really is he ?, he can’t just be a random bachelor’s of economics and finances.”
“Why did you have to go so harsh on them ?” Liam repeated the question, “ You may act cold and distant but you can’t lie to your best friend, deep down you always have everyone back even if they notice or not, so why not for them?”.
“ I am,” Kyle replied. Liam had that wtf face when he heard Kyle answer, Kyle really did nothing to help them in this dangerous situation from the start, that was really uncharacteristic for the Kyle he knew, then he started to completely “destroy“ them for what they did wrong. Liam had never seen Kyle do that to anyone before so even he did not know the reason.

“ Time is not on our side” Kyle continued “I don’t have time to hold their hand, to show them every little thing they need to know. The only way to teach them now is to make them learn from their mistake, showing them how deadly it could end.”
“So you did it for them, is that it ?” Liam questioned Kyle again.
“Besides, we need them, and we need them to be better quickly.” Kyle answered, Liam's eyes were wide open, the Kyle he knew never said anything like that before, he was always standing alone and never asked for help from anyone. Liam was the only few friends who can get close enough to him and know him for he truly was and not from what he put up from the outside, they call him “the angel in a devil face”, his look always scream out a devilish good look that make him looking like a “bad boy” and went he put that hair down all messy looking, he really does look like a shady looking pervert.
“ They are like us, trapped in this forest, we are on the same boat, and they aren’t that bad either, you know that too, don’t you?” Kyle smiled.
Liam knowingly answers “ Yeah they are not too bad.”
Kyle continued: “ Maria showed great medical skill, fixing me up nicely. Allan showed natual leadership, even in this fuck up horribible situation, even though his decsion was wrong for the most of it, when the other was scared and confused, he steped up and be someone they can rely on, all he needed is some knowlegde and exprience that all.”
“ What about Luna?” Liam questioned. “ She hadn’t done much so far, had she.”

“ I can sense something about her, she saw all of my strange behaviors and told the other two and she did discover that hidden cave entrance in the middle of the night, something that you couldn’t, did she not?” Kyle answered. “Very sharp eyes”
“ And that was it, could there also be because you have already been bewitched by those ruby eyes of her” Liam jokingly said before turning serious again, “ Was they really worth you almost getting killed for ?”
“And here I thought you were the good cop to my bad cop, now you are saying that I should have just let them die, how evil of you” Kyle laughed.
“ I am serious, you could have stepped in when you notice there is something wrong, but you keep quiet, put their life and yourself in danger” Liam held his ground.
Kyle's eyes showed his usual cold and dagger look again, staring at Liam, “ You want to know the reason why I stepped in to save Luna on my own, don’t you.”
“ Yes,” Liam relied. “ i was hoping for the off chance that you did it for Luna because you just wanted save the pretty girls like any guy dream to, but it’s not just because of that, is it”
“ I did it because it was the right thing to do, I could not live with myself if I just stood there helplessly doing nothing, watching as her life got taken away.” Kyle answered in an angry voice, gone with the calmness he has been putting up so far.
“ Fine, if you say so then it must be. I just hope that you won’t do anything stupid just to for your guilty conscience… for her.” Liam finished what he had to say.
The two silently continued their way to the top of the hill, and when on top they saw something interesting.
