Chapter 6: Leaving

Hope you enjoyed the wait!

Tristan smiles.

And pulls the trigger.

nothing happens.

"Looking for these?" Max asks, holding up the magazine of bullets.

Tristan's eyes widen. "How-"

"I would never give up on my brother. He means the world to me, and I wish he would've known that."

Without another word, I a spin-kick Tristan's face. 

Zane falls onto his knees.

"You guys handle Tristan, I've got Zane!" I shout.

I sit down next to Zane. he's crying. I take off his gag and hug him.

"You came for me," he says through his tears.

"Of course I did Zane, you're my brother. I would never leave you."

I untie his arms and he wraps them around me. I smile.

"Hey brother. Do you still believe in one another?" I sing softly. "Because I always will."

He hugs me tighter, and I do the same.

"Zara, do what we've been working on!" Max shouts. I turn and see Tristan with and arm around Aphmau's neck.

I close my eyes and focus.

"Tristan, Release my friends from the potions and turn yourself in to the police."

After we successfully turned Tristan over to the police, (Me hugging Zane the whole time), I drape Zane's arm over my shoulder and helped him into the car.

I let Aphmau drive so I could sit with Zane.

"Everything's fine now Zane," I say. "Your fine."

"I didn't think you were coming," Zane says, still crying. "I thought you didn't care."

"Well I don't know why you thought that, but you were wrong," I say, hugging him tighter. "I'll always care about you."

Zane smiled a little, and we hugged until we got back to my house.
