Entry 71. June 19, 2009.
[x] Insist on getting Melanie first and head to Gledenberg.
"Glad to see you haven't forgotten about Melanie, after all. I need to know she's safe."
"Sorry Selest, but I have to get Melanie before we do anything else," Felix says, as he starts driving towards Gledenberg. Selest curses under her breath, but she smiles and doesn't argue his decision. Out of town, Selest turns on the radio to calm herself.
"What's the problem, Nicholas?" James asks through his rolled down car window. "We were given a tip about you guys. Mind if I take a look in the back?" he responds. James is clearly frustrated, but Garet obliges with a slight nod. Nicholas opens up the back of their van and steps inside. Nicholas pulls out his gun and shoots James twice in the back of the head, in the most fluid of motions. Garet is faster, though. He watches it all in slow motion and counters instinctively. He opens his door, ducks and rolls out into the ditch. Nicholas realizes too late and shoots an empty seat. "Dammit!" he curses, not accustomed to failure, and jumps out of the van. Garet runs full speed through the field towards a wooded area.
"So you really love her?" Selest asks, attempting conversation. "I do. We've had a very interesting relationship with its crazy ups and downs, but I love her. I think I always have," Felix responds. "Well, that's very sweet and all, but if anything happens to us, it's your fault," she states, bluntly. Felix laughs. "I think I can handle whatever they throw at us. I don't think my life can get crazier."
Nicholas spots Garet running through the field and shoots at him, but he misses both times. He isn't a good enough shot at long distances or moving targets for that matter. "SH'IT," he curses. He looks around for any approaching cars and makes the risky decision to abandon the vehicles and give chase to Garet. Nicholas sprints after him, but Garet's head start has already carried him to the trees. Garet doesn't stop running until he's deep inside the dark forest. "Ha...ha... God what is going on... Ha... So Nick is with Chad... Ha..." he pants, trying to catch his breath behind a tree. "GARET! YOU CAN'T HIDE FOREVER!" Nicholas screams. "Crap... Ha... I can't die here... I won't die here... Ha..." he mutters, his mind racing.
"We could have worked out, you know," Selest says out of the blue. "Huh? What are you talking about?" Felix asks. "Us. You and me. Why didn't you ever ask me out last year? You were interested, weren't you?" she questions. "I won't deny I had a crush on you, but my mind wasn't exactly in the right state of mind. Or maybe I'm a coward. I dunno," he responds, smiling. "Whatever. It doesn't matter anymore," she states. Felix eyes her curiously, but he doesn't ask why.
Nicholas and Garet's game of hide-and-seek in the forest goes on for some time, with Nicholas growing more and more impatient with every minute. "DAMMIT WHERE ARE YOU? YOU'RE ALREADY A DEAD MAN. WHY DELAY IT?" he shouts. By now, Garet has caught his breath and is working on his plan to turn the situation around. He arms himself with a heavy branch and lies in wait behind a tree. Nicholas runs into the area where he's hiding, his temper causing him to lose most of his usual awareness. When Nicholas turns his back, Garet flies out from behind the tree and bases him with the branch. He falls to the ground, dropping his gun. Garet swings his foot around to kick him in the head, but Nicholas grabs it and brings him down. Garet spots the gun and crawls towards it. Nicholas punches him hard in the ribs, causing him to stagger in pain. Garet gets him in the jaw with a well-placed kick. They struggle back and forth on the ground for possession of the gun. Moments later, a loud bang rips through the peaceful forest and scatters the crows from the trees.
It's already fast approaching three o'clock by the time Felix pulls into the Swinson's driveway. "Okay, wait here. I'll be back out with her in a second," he tells Selest. Inside the house, Felix tries explaining everything that's happened. "Whoa, wait. Can we really trust her? How well do you know her?" Melanie asks, concerned. "I don't know her well, but I think we can trust her. She's trying to help me. Mom and Oscar have something bad planned," he explains. "I don't know. This feels very wrong," she shakes her head. Melanie eventually relents, packs a few things and leaves a note for her parents.
When they walk outside, Felix notices Selest finishing a conversation on her cell phone. "Can you sit in the back now, Selest?" Felix asks. She is visibly annoyed by this request, but once again agrees without argument. Once all three are in the car, Felix asks, "Who were you talking to?" Selest looks surprised, but she quickly masks it. "My friend. In Lixmilo," she answers. "Ah, right. I suppose we better get going then," he states, starting the car. "I'm Melanie. Nice to meet you," Melanie says. "Selest. Likewise," she smirks.
Not far out of town, Felix notices a van and police car parked off the road. "Holy crap, Mel. Look! It's their van!" he exclaims. "What the hell is going on?" she asks. Selest spots what they are talking about, but she has no idea who either vehicle belongs to. "Felix, we should stop. And isn't that Nick's police car?" Melanie suggests. "No! We can't waste more time! Keep driving! What if it's a trap?" Selest panics.
[] Stop and pull up behind the van and police car.
[] Keep driving to Lixmilo.
[] Keep driving but try calling Nicholas' cell.
What are the voices inside Felix's head telling him to do?

We'll know who really died in the struggle in the forest without putting Felix in danger.

It was in response to Selest's "It doesn't matter anymore" statement. Felix thought it sounded strange, but he didn't bother pushing the subject.
@ Kurtle, below
Haha. I'm not "giving up" on this story. Trust me, it will be finished. I don't HAVE to make an entry every single day. You guys never let me take it easy. ;_; Plus some days I'm feeling it and others I'm not.

[] Keep driving but try calling Nicholas' cell.
Risking confronting Chad might be lethal and if he has Nicholas' phone then contact can be indirect.
And thank god you finally posted I thought you mightve given up on this.
As for the separate thread it would be nice just dont forget to add a list of all previous entries so those are in easy reference

Seems like Selest is jealous of Melanie.

] Keep driving to Lixmilo.Any contact with Nick is bad. Physical is just straight out BAD END, and indirect is probably dangerous in some way, possibly giving Nick and Chad a way to find you. Also, Garet owns. It may be an alright idea to call Nick's cell if you REALLY want to find out who won the struggle, but I still don't think it's a good idea.[/COLOR]

Examining the scene risks running into Chad, whom I think is more dangerous than Nicholas.
Glad to see some excitement coming back in the story, t'was getting a bit boring IMO :f6: (..or maybe I just like violence for entertainment
)
