《The Final Light》Chapter 11: when will the light save us

Advertisement

After what Jacob had done to me not long ago I feel like I am being used for something, if so then why am is still here why not use me sooner then later get me out of the way, and if he was using me what good would come out of him using me, *knock, knock* “miss Behail I am here to guide you to the cleaning area” the door opens and a maid walks in, she walks over to me, “I see you are not doing too well with the master” she looks dead inside like she has been dealing with this type of stuff for so long now and she want it to end, “please follow me as you need to take a bath and or a shower” I get out of bed and follow I needed a shower any way and I might take this opportunity to have on as I may not be able to get another chance to do so.

We walk out the room I was in and into a hallway that look industrial, nothing like the room I was in, although it was cold and had no light in it except for the lamp in there it was nice and really well furnished compared to out here, we walk down the hallway past some guards that turn around and stop us “is she meant to be out of the room” the maid pull a piece paper out of her………. Well out of her bosom, now that I have clear look and it is not dark she has a big pair, anyhow the guard looked through it and let us pass, we continue down the hallway then the maid stops and opens a door leading to the shower or bath, the room that we walk in to is large, the bath that was said was like a pool not a bath, “here we are my lady the bathing area for women please do not worry that anyone will enter as the door will be locked and will be watched by me” she said then walking to the door opening it and looking at me “if you have any questions please ask me now before I leave” I shake my head, she leave so that I can bathe by myself without anyone disturbing me.

Well I guess I am going to have shower and a bath maybe just a shower, I get undressed turn on the cold water then the hot for the shower let it mix so I don’t burn myself from the water or die of hypothermia, I duck my hand in and out to see if it is the right temperature, then I found the perfect temperature and feeling of heat, I hop in and fell the water hit my body, it has been what 4 days, speaking of days and times what date and time is it.

I search for a clock a calendar anything really, then I see the holo screen in the shower, these guys must be really wealthy to have holo screen’s around the place, but it said the date was 16/10/2567 so it has been almost one day that I have been here what the hell is wrong with time, I thought I had been here for days on end holy hell that is something, time is slow but fast when it wishes to be. If it has only been a day then what has happened outside, from what I have heard here and there is that a uprising has started but the ‘high military command’ don’t know anything, who is High military command I don’t keep up with military things so I guess a highly trained unit or combat force I don’t know I am not like Richard, Isaac and Jacob on these things.

Well after I heard that I was wondering more about what is going on outside, but it has only been one day so maybe not much has happened but as always I wonder what Richard is doing, maybe hiding in a building in a high spot somewhere waiting for a Aku-no to appear and attack, or just siting somewhere reading being peaceful, but let’s be honest he be hiding somewhere waiting but he would want to read a book.

With the time I have been here I have gotten some sleep but not much as Jacob would want to talk to me about killing Richard or about how great he is, he is like a very unoriginal villain of a story but he does have leeway with people in high positions and such, so even more of a villain that is unoriginal oh and don’t forget he was the friend to a person that want’s him dead because he better than him, yeah the more I say the more he is just wanting to be noticed by others really.

After a good few minutes of talking to myself in my head, I wonder if my boobs are big although that is a question that has most likely answered itself at this point and maybe more in the future, I just want to know for a particular person jeez I have to stop honestly I need to act more like me not this new kind of me, but I am jealous of the maid and why should I not, my……… well bosom is two medium sized small dodgeballs, now that I think about it my……….. well fuck it boobs are quite a decent size.

Ok time to stop I have also spent enough time in the shower, I hop out turn off the shower grab a towel and dry myself and find a clothes, the clothes part however is a wired as the clothes I had are gone and there fresh new clothes there that looks very rich and posh and I hate although I do come from a sort of wealthy family but to the point of being a noble so high middle class, I begrudgingly put the clothes on and head for the door to leave but I remembered what the maid said “knock”

*Knock* *Knock* the door opens and the maid enters “yes, mistress do you need something” she then looks up to see me in the new dress and leads me back to my room that is now filled up with new stuff and now has a window but I expect it to be a one way window instead of a both way window although the view is very beautiful I think this is of the outside, it must be a really tall building that they have although there are many building that reach outside the sky domes, there are many things that I can see from here and it amazes me that we used to live in world like this trees tall and plenty mountains reaching the clouds, rivers stretching the lands of old, the place’s of last light that I can see are from many months ago that have been taken over and converted to a thing a beauty the dome are gone presumed to be demolished by the Aku-no.

It hard to think sometimes that the vast city of last light shrunk so much in two years after the Aku-no appeared I just wonder if we will expand past the walls of last light what will we do, how would we act if we were to get the whole back in our control, well we may never know as I am just hoping to see it.

Looking back to what I have said in the shower I am very sorry for the people reading my thought so very terrible for them to listen in on, what is wrong with me I get I am in love with Richard but why do I act and think all these things maybe because I am really young, my birthday is also soon 21 I will be, Richard with the year or so he has been in the military is what 22 I think or is he 21 I know his birthday is the 12th of the 12th month in a year so maybe he is 21, he does not like to bring in his age a lot because of what had happened to his brother when the Aku-no were just a rumour that then turned them into a rumour to be real things.

I guess I should not think about that as that brings back memories that terrify me to this day, I like to wonder do I, *the door smashed open* “Elizbeth follow me we need to leave this place now” I turn around looking away from the window to see Jacob standing there armed with gun “Beth com with me we are leaving” I slowly back toward the window when I did this I see Jacob reach from his waist pulling up a gasmask and placing it over his face “I see, you are scared but please forgive me for what I have to do and I hope you will” he then pulls out what looks to be a cylinder undid the latch of it and threw it towards me, when it laned smoke started to come out of it, could this be the gas that made unconscious when they kidnapped me.

I just feel so drowsy and tiered, why, why am I in this situation.

2 days later

I am awake how long was I out for, that was a nice sleep really decent if I have to say so, where is that particular person I know he was sleeping in my room looking after me but where is he, I move out of bed and look towards that door in the room I see it open and the particular person is here “Jacob what happened, I thought you said you were going to stay by my side while I was unwell” he looked surprised that I was up and about “yes…. I did say that, but I was going to get some water for you Beth please you should not be standing just yet” he grabs my hand and helps me toward my bed, I lay down and see him leave for the moment “hey where are you going” I am worried he will just disappear “I am just going to get you that water sleep you need it”

Jacobs POV

I told you I did not want to do this to you Beth, it pains me that I had to alter your memories but this is for the best of both of us as Richard is slowly becoming a person that is not the person we once knew I think you see me as someone who is trying to be the villain, but what I am trying to do at this moment is protect all of last light not just us and the friend group, the government has saw the massive flaw in Richard well not flaw but problem in him, he has somehow formed a connection with the greatest enemy of us, and we don’t know how even the government doesn't know but they wish to find out even if he dies, so that is why as a friend I must do this.

I don’t wish for him to used as a slave for the government, so I must act this way even though there could be other ways that I could approach this, I feel as if this way is better so when and if you regain your memories I would love to apologize to you for this but I would be dead so I can’t, however I will not regret what I have done for us, maybe this can change how the course of our spices progresses in the future.

I wish the simple days were upon us and not these dark and cruel times, I sit and pull out a whiskey and a glass place a chair by the bed of Elizbeth’s place her water on the bedside table and drink.
