Chapter 59: 44|It's time to make it right.

"It's all m-my fault." I mumbled. "I should've n-never stepped in her l-life." I sobbed and Asher hugged me as Liam looked away in guilt. "N-No. Y-You saved h-her in ways we w-wouldn't have been able to." I just hugged him tighter as we both cried. Life is such a tangled mess, right now. Who thought that one day, two people with two different worlds will cry because of a common reason, the reason being their love for their sister? Blood is not what defines a relation, love does. And we both love her. What would've happened if Xavier delayed? I don't even want to think about it. I would have never been able to look at myself in the mirror again if she would've succeeded. Saving her from enemies will be easier than saving her from our haunting lie. The elevator dinged and I briskly walked towards Xavier's room. Opening the door, three people looked at me. "Why are you both here?" I asked Felix and Liz. "I think I am Xavier's personal blood bank." Felix tried to lighten the situation and I forced a small smile. He saw through it and shook his head. "She is the one person who stood by each one of us when no one did. Even if we try, we can't leave her like that." He looked down at his lap and I bit my lip to keep away my tears. "We are poisoned youth, Alex. But she was the one who always tried to remove it from our system. How are we supposed to leave her when the same poison is killing her?" Xavier answered and I rushed towards him. Taking the stool next to his bed, I looked at him hopefully. "How are-?" "I am fine, Alex." He sighed and then looked at me seriously. "But she is not. They took her away and left me as a warning for you. They told me to deliver this message to you..." I gulped. "We are tired of your games, Cedric. Your sister was always a bait to catch you. You stayed around her like a shadow and it was getting tiring to figure out who exactly you are, without hinting others. So here we are, you didn't made it easy for us and we won't make it easy for you. You know where to find us and this time, we know who you are." Everyone in the room was considerably pale by the time Xavier quoted them. "What is happening? Will anyone tell me?" he questioned and every head snapped in my direction. I nodded and walked towards the corner of room. Liam, Crystal, Felix and Asher followed as Lizette explained the situation. I felt bad for Liz, she just came to know the reality of her love, yet she was helping us catch him. She is one brave girl. "What are we going to do now?" Crys asked. I passed a hand through my hair. "We need a plan and a plane to Kovorelle." "I am coming." Liam, Asher and Felix said at the same time. I shook my head. "No, you can't-" "You can't stop me, Alex. She is my sister." "She fought my battles for me." Felix mumbled. "She fought my battles with me." Liam answered sternly. "I know. But I can't take you in a warzone when-" "I and Aiden are the best shooters around. We learned it to protect her. Let us use it." "I can literally beat you in fencing." Everyone looked at Liam. "What will your power do without my brain? I am her personal FBI agent. I am coming." I looked torn between what should be done and what I feel like doing. Crys gave me a weak encouraging smile and I nodded. "Okay." They smiled and patted my back. "We will find her." I nodded and gave a weak smile before turning serious just as Xavier said. "I am coming too." "No. You just got shot, dude!" I shook my head profusely. He raised his hand to shut me up. "She saved my life, A-Cedric and I blamed her for that. I owe her. I may not be powerful like all of you, but admit it. I saved her twice. I won't lose the streak. I can't. And if you haven't noticed, I am a computer geek. I can help Liam with cyber-attack." One look in his determined eyes and I couldn't help but nod. "And I am Ryder's weakest link. You can't leave me here and deprive me of the privilege to punch that asshole for last time." "Liz-" Crys began but seems like everyone was against our words. "No. I am coming with you. I am the daughter of a cop and damn, my dad did a great job in training me with guns. Trust me when I say that I never had the urge to use it this bad." "We may be teens. We may be inexperienced but we are not useless or weak. We are fighters. When our monsters fell on knees because of our strength then what powers do humans have?" "Fine." I huffed. "We still need a plan. I know-" "C-Can I come t-too?" Everybody's attention snapped towards Aiden who was standing nervously on the doorway. His eyes shined brightly due to glistening tears but as his best friend, I knew that if you look closer, you'll see guilt, hope and determination. Yet, I refused to take him. I refused to believe that he was feeling guilty. "No-" "Yes!" I looked at Crystal in incredulity. "Crys, he-" "He is still her brother as much as you are. He may have said the wrong things at wrong time, but you and I both know that he loves her. We've made mistakes too, Ced and we never meant to make them. You can't hold his mistake against him, no matter how huge it was." I looked away to absorb the situation. Gulping, I lifted my eyes after a minute of silence. The moment my eyes met guilty and hurt filled one of my bestfriend, I marched towards him and hugged him tightly. "I-I-I am s-sorry-" "We both are s-sorry, Aiden. W-We both made mistakes." "Yeah." I pulled away and looked at everyone with seriousness. "And now, it's time to make it right."
