Ian:
"Listen, I did not do anything," she whispered after giving me such terrifying news.
"Where is Clementine right now?" I demanded angrily, clenching my fist.
"I do not know," she replied. The moment my eyes narrowed at her, she added, "I had to act like I was agreeing with them, because if I had not, they would have captured me too. There were too many of them, and they were all in this together."
She explained everything while looking shaken.
"Okay, I need to go and get her," I said, but once again she stepped into my path.
"Are you sure? There are too many of them, and it is just you," she warned quietly as I shot her a harsh look.
"And what do you expect me to do then? Wait until there are more of me born?" I grunted.
"The news has spread like wildfire. You have no idea. Everyone, the alphas, the betas, the omegas, every single person, all those parents who lost their children, the ones who were not alphas sitting in a big hall being entertained, the parents who actually cared for their children, they are out on the streets demanding answers. And that small bit of information you slipped in about the cave and its location, people have already gathered there. The pack where the cave is located has been invaded," she explained before pausing.
"Look," she continued, opening her phone and showing me live footage of some of the teens broadcasting from inside the cave.
It was the same place where Clementine and I had gone. They were standing in front of large screens, holding the tapes, throwing the ones with intimate content into the water to destroy them, and carrying the others that exposed the brutality of the north and the academy.
"It is all proven now. There is no stepping back. The academy, the ringleaders, the headmaster, the alphas, they cannot hide it anymore. It is chaos, Ian. You cannot just step out of here and expect to walk off to find Clementine anymore. There will be people everywhere. Cars are parading, and they are looking for you as well," she continued, then started taking deep, heavy breaths.
"They are preparing a large team to question the headmaster and the academy. In the meantime, I can help you locate Clementine," she added.
That was the first thing she said that truly caught my attention. Before that, I had only been shaking my head. Even if there were people at every step trying to stop me from reaching Clementine, I would keep going. I would not stop until I reached her.
"How are you going to help me?" I asked her.
She began to step forward toward the back exit, and I followed her.
"I can take you carefully to the location where she is, but first I need to find out," she replied.
