Chapter 63

"Almost." Y/N sighed out, "Until he showed up and killed both of them." She referred to Harlan. Though as much as she was thankful for taking over, Y/N couldn't bring herself to trust him entirely. Not just because she barely knew him, but also because his powers were too strong. For all she knew, this might not be his first time doing so.

On the other hand, Luther's attention was on the unconscious lady underneath him. "Sloane," he slightly patted her cheek to regain her consciousness, "are you all right?" He asked.

When Sloane woke up, her body was in immense pain. It was a struggle to sit up without wincing. "It's okay." Fortunately, Luther was there to help her up. She thought she'd be dead already. Luther was relieved Sloane was still breathing and moving.

That is, until Sloane saw her sister and her brother lying on the floor lifeless.

It was then Sloane remembered how they ended up like this. Just seeing them with their burnt and bloodied faces terrified her enough to get back on her feet. "It's all right." Sheer panic washing over her as Luther tried reassuring her. "Sloane, it's all right." He repeated.

She looked at him as if he'd betrayed her. All she could think of was the Umbrellas killed her siblings even if it wasn't them. That thought broke her heart to the point where she couldn't look at Luther straight in the eyes. And so, she ran.

"Sloane." Luther called out for her again.

"You got a live one, Luther!" Diego hollered at him. With that being said, he followed Luther in going after the fifth Sparrow.

"Shit, Sloane!"

Soon enough, Harlan also ran away from the scene as guilt ate him up after he witnessed another one who's in grief of her family's death. "Harlan, wait!" Now, it was Viktor who was going after someone.

"Hey!" But Allison went in the way.

Viktor completely forgot about everything else now that Harlan was around. "Um..." As of now, he couldn't think of any solution for Allison. "Go help Luther." Was all he said to her.

"What about you?" Asked Allison.

"I can handle it." Viktor reassured. "Go."

"Okay, okay, okay." Eventually, Allison obliged and went after them as well. Though she was filled with so much reluctance.

All that was left in the lobby were Klaus and Y/N. While the rest of them were going after someone, the both of them went to get a good look at the sixth and the fourth Sparrows.

Y/N let out a hum of slight disappointment as she looked at dead Jayme. "Sad." She blurted out. "Thought I'd have enough time to be friends with her."

"Yeah." Klaus drawled in agreement. Though, a part of him was sort of thankful that didn't happen. After witnessing how they treated their old man, he thought it was probably for the best.

"Sloane!"

Luther kept calling for her name as he chase her up to another floor of the hotel. It was surprising to see her being capable of getting away from him, seeing as she was injured.

He just wanted to talk to her and explain everything to her. He felt that she didn't deserve being in a position where she had to be questioned for intel unlike Diego and Allison, who was planning to do the exact thing.

"Sloane, wait."

Their game of tag reached the Oasis Spa wherein the showers and bath tubs were located. "Sloane?" Luther hoped that she'd already given up running from him. Instead, he was caught off guard by an old man coming out of the shower with only a towel covering up half of his body, uncomfortable with the fact that Luther was there.
