Lola's POV
"Already?" I asked, my mouth ajar in shock as I took in what Cameron had just said.
"Yes. And I brought two people to help us." Cameron replied.
My eyes widened.
"Who? Because no one is allowed to know where our hideout is, Cameron!" I said.
"Don't worry, he broke us out of jail." A voice said in a yelped in surprise.
"Zach?! Elizabeth?!" I asked, my eyes wide.
"Yes. Hello, Lola. Long time no see." Zach said.
"I'm not the kind of person that cares for introductions. Let's just get to the point. Project Death. What is it, really?" Elizabeth asked, sitting on the couch and pulling her powder blue hair into a high ponytail.
"Let me explain to you what it is." Cameron said as I went into my room with my Ramen.
I already know the plan, so why hear about it again?
After I finished my Ramen I put the bowl in the sink in the hideouts kitchen and joined the others in the plan room.
"Zach. You and Elizabeth go practice your knife throwing in the training room. Lola, go gather the supplies on this list." Cameron said and handed me a list.
"Groceries?" I asked. "Really? And what are you gonna be doing?"
"I have a ten thousand dollar bounty on my head." Cameron said as though it were the most obvious thing in the world. "I'm going to stay here and eat all of your Raman."
"You wouldn't dare!" I shrieked, running to my Raman and guarding it.
"Fine. I'll just eat all the kit kats and waffles." Cameron said.
"Okay?" I said and laughed, leaving with the list.
·Guns (go out of town to the gun store where it doesn't matter if your a highschooler)
·Ammo (cuz you need ammo for a gun, duh)
·Masks (So I can go out in public)
·Food (You eat too much Raman)
Looking over the list I walked to Zane's house.
"Zane!" I called from his front door.
Garroth answered the door and I cringed.
I forgot Zane and Garroth were brothers.
"Oh. It's you. I thought Cadenza was here. Zane, your girlfriend is down here!" Garroth yelled.
Zane ran down the stairs. "Lola! Hey! You haven't come to my house before, have you? Is something wrong?" Zane asked.
"Nah. Nothing's wrong. I just wanted to know if I could borrow your motorcycle. But we should hang out later if that's okay!" I said and grinned.
"Sure! Once you get back, we can go to the cupcake place we both love!" Zane said enthusiastically.
"Definitely." I replied and grabbed his motorcycle helmet and keys and got on his motorcycle, waving goodbye before leaving.
Once I got to the gun store the owner looked in my direction before continuing to do something on his phone.
Isn't that Travis' dad?
"Hello, sir! Do you have any snipers?" I asked.
"They're in the back with the pistols and rifles." He said.
"Thank you!" I responded.
He grunted in response as he went back on his phone.
Rude.
He has no manners whatsoever.
I grabbed a basket and put four snipers in it, sniper ammo, four pistols with ammo, and four rifles with ammo, of course.
I went up to pay for them and he looked at the amount of guns I had.
"That's it? Twelve guns? Ya sure you don't want shotguns? Revolvers? Any other guns?" He asked.
I shook my head. "This will be all for today." I replied.
I watched as he typed in the prices for each gun and the ammo and once everything was rung up I paid for it and left.
I put the guns in a duffle bag I had brought and rode the motorcycle to the hideout, where I gave Cameron the guns after getting everything else.
"That was quick." Cameron said.
"I used Zane's motorcycle." I told him and turned around to leave. "I'm hanging out with Zane! I'll be back later!"
"Have fun, stay safe and don't do drugs!" He said and I rolled my eyes.
"Okay, dad!" I laughed and left.
Zane opened the door immediately when I arrived and I HAVE him the helmet and keys for the motorcycle.
"Let's go get cupcakes!" I cheered with Zane as we raced to the cupcake place.
I got there first, with the help of my werewolf abilities, and the fat nugget, Zane, was about two minutes behind me.
I sat down inside and ordered a vanilla cupcake for myself and a chocolate cupcake for Zane.
"Do you mind if after this we go to the tree where we met? The one with my mother's name engraved in a stone?" Zane asked.
"I don't mind at all." I replied.
After we finished our cupcakes we went to the tree and everything felt normal like it used to be.
Before I started working with Cameron.
Before everything changed.
Zane knelt down by the stone with his mother's name and whispered something.
"A million words could not bring you back, I know because I tried. Neither could a million tears, I know because I cried." He whispered.
"Mrs. Ro'meave," I whispered. "I'll take care of your son. I'll never hurt him. I promise."
But I don't know if that's a promise I can keep after he finds out I work with Cameron, Elizabeth and Zach.
Zane hugged me all of a sudden.
"Um.. Zane? What are you doing?" I asked and he stopped hugging me.
"Sorry." He muttered. "I'm just glad you could hang out with me today. I missed being able to hang out like before."
I smiled. "I missed being able to hang out too."
It started to get dark so Zane and I went our separate ways for the night.
"Bye, Zane!" I said as we walked towards his house. "Seeya at school tomorrow!"
"Bye, Lola!" He said cheerfully as he walked up his driveway.
Once his door closed I ran to the hideout and went inside.
"You've been gone for a while. It's been a couple hours since you left to hang out with Zane. What did you guys do?" Cameron asked, his eyebrow raised.
"We went to get cupcakes, talked for a bit, went to the tree his mother lived to sit under before she died, talked some more, walked around for a bit and went our separate ways." I said.
"M'kay. G'night." Cameron said and disappeared into his room.
I went into my room, faceplanted onto my bed and fell asleep.
I had a dream and in my dream I was looking down on myself and Zane, talking under the tree his mother loved.
"It's almost like you had this planned. Like you smiled and shook my hand and said, 'I'm about to ruin your life'." Zane said, crying.
"Maybe, hearts are meant to be broken." I said, emotionless.
"The Lola I know would never join up with Cameron! Would never lie to my face! The Lola I know--"
"Don't say you know me when I don't even know myself!" Other me cried.
I saw Cameron standing under a tree not too far from when dream me and Zane were talking.
"Only when you lose everything can you really understand the value of what you had in the past." Cameron said, holding a knife.
"Isn't it funny that the ones who said 'I will never hurt you' hurt you the most?" Dream me asked Zane.
"How long have you been lying?" He asked, tears running down his face.
"A very, very long time." Dream me grinned and pulled out a giant knife.
Dream Zane's eyes widened and he screamed as I stabbed him.
Once...
Twice...
Three times...
"I cared about you..." Zane whispered, his eyes struggling to stay open.
"A lot of you cared. Just not enough." Dream me said. "In the end, I'm on the side that will come out victorious while you weaklings perish."
"You don't get to choose if you get hurt in this world... but you do have some say in who hurts you." Cameron said from his spot under the tree. "In the end, the weakling, Zane Ro'meave, was hurt by his lover, who overpowered and killed him without hesitation."
Dream me looked at Zane's dead body as Cameron continued.
"But grief makes a monster out of all of us sometimes... and sometimes you say and do things to the people you love that you can't forgive yourself for."
Dream me fell to the ground, dropping the knife and screaming about the fact I had, in fact, killed Zane.
I woke up, eyes wide with tears running down my face.
Cameron was in the doorway, a knife in his hand.
"Oh. Nevermind. I thought someone found the hideout and broke in to kill you. I was hoping to shed some blood. Oh, well. Another time, then." Cameron said and left.
"Cameron?" I asked. "When will Project Death take place and where will it start?" I asked and Cameron paused, turning around for a moment.
"We will talk of that soon. For now, sleep because after you get back from school Elizabeth and Zach are training you in hand to hand combat." Cameron said.
I fell back asleep not too long after he left and had only one thought in my mind.
Project Death is going to be
The death of this world...
