A Lover's Responsibility

Chapter 3

Then she finds Nicki outside of Cantu’s room and they waited for Brandon for a little while. Once he got there, they all went into Cantu’s dorm room and they all sat on Cantu’s bed and they waited for him to come back from lunch. A little while later, Cantu teleported into the room with an evil smirk on his face. “Great news guys! We finally caught McCullough!” “Cool!” Nicki says with a smile “Great!” Replied Delon. Noah stood up in the back of the room. “And where is McCullough now Cantu?” He questioned. “Yeah, where is she?” Ty ecohed. “She is somewhere safe, for now…” “Why don’t you ever tell us what you are going to do? What is with all the secrets?” Xena asked. “Yeah, we have been rehearsing for month for something that we don’t even know what it is about or what is going to happen!” Brandon said. “Yeah Cantu! Why do you always do your own thing? Ty and I had the best spot picked out for McCullough and you put her somewhere else!” Noah said angrily.

“Where have you been sneaking off to Cantu?” questioned Ty. “Have you been talking to the eye?” Xena asked. “ENOUGH!!! I CAN DO WHAT I WANT TO DO! Now, I have been given these orders directly from the eye, if you don't want to follow through, then you can go. Anyone going to ask for an out?” Cantu threatened. “No, I’m good.” Brandon said. Xena shrugged. Nicki said, “No thanks.” Noah and Ty both shook their heads. Delon replied with, “What would happen if I were to leave?” “You would die. Without me, you are nothing.” Cantu said. “Oh, then I’m staying!!!” Delon said. “What about Trevor?” Questioned Xena. “Yeah, and Max?” said Ty. “All in good time Emmert. All in good time,” Cantu said, smirking. “Now everyone, go home and try to find out where Max and Trevor are hiding!” *Everyone leaves and Cantu teleports to wherever he goes.

Our scene shifts to an underground lair!* Cantu walked down a hall and opened a heavily locked door. *Quiet sobbing can be heard as Cantu walks in* “Well McCullough,enjoying your stay? HA! Tell me...where is your brother hiding?” Rylie glared at Cantu through her tears. “Why would I tell YOU Cantu? Of all people!” Rylie said in despair. “Tell me where your brother is, and I’ll let you go!”Cantu said as he was walking up to her. Cantu stopped right in front of Rylie and he smiled an evil smile. “You dirty SNAKE!” Rylie said, and with that she spat at Cantu’s face, but missed because he moved. “You are stronger than I thought you were McCullough! Maybe I shouldn’t let you go, you might add some strength to our group!” Cantu smirked. Rylie laughed. “Why would I ever help you jerk?”  “You would help me, because you would want to stay with your ‘BOYFRIEND’ isn’t that right?” Cantu said while circling around Rylie. “WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU EVEN TALKING ABOUT CANTU?” *SIGH* “I’m talking about you and your pretty little playboy Brandon!!!” Rylie stared at Cantu hard. “Ahhh!

You didn't know that I knew about you two being together, didnt you?” Rylie’s face grew red. “YOU BETTER NOT DO ANYTHING TO HIM, OR I’LL HURT YOU SO BAD THAT YOU WILL FALL FROM THE FACE OF THIS EARTH AND YOU COULD TELL THE DEVIL I SAID ´Hi!´AND HE WILL KNOW WHY!!!” Rylie desperately tried to break  through the bars separating her from Cantu. “ WAIT TILL I GET MY HANDS ON YOU CANTU!” “YOU WANNA BET?!?!?! DEVLIN, babe, come here.” “Yes?” Devlin said with a smirk. Could you deliver a message to Brandon saying that if he doesn’t end his relationship with Rylie in the next… um, 32 hours, I will kill her?”  “Yes sir.” “YOU BETTER NOT DO ANYTHING ELSE TO HIM! I SWEAR IF YOU EVEN SO MUCH AS PUT ONE FINGER ON HIM, I WILL DELIVER A MESSAGE YOU WILL NEVER FORGET!” Devlin left the room with an evil laugh. Rylie looked down at the floor and thought of a way to protect herself, Brandon, and their love for each other.
