Behind Amber Eyes

Luke

Luke was approaching the floor where Michael and Ellie's room was. Korse had just given him a second chance, and he wasn't going to blow it.

He neared the corner, then heard a gunshot. Luke sprinted to see what it was about. He hoped that a dracs hadn't accidentally killed Michael. Killing a person who is under the property of Korse is punishable by death.

Luke dashed around the corner and was surprised with what he saw. Ellie and Michael weren't alone. There were four others there, a red haired man, a short man, a tall slender guy, and a man with an Afro. They were all scrambling around frantically. Luke wondered why.

"What's going on?" Luke asked, nearing Ellie. "How the fuck did you escape? And who are all these people?"

Ellie turned around to face Luke. Tears streaked her splotchy face.

"It's all my fault," she whispered, staring off into the distance.

"What is? What did you do?"

Ellie looked back into Luke's eyes. "He's going to die, and it's all my fault."

"Everything is your pathetic fault. All you do is bitch around and then shit happens, all because of you," spat Luke. It only made Ellie cry harder.

"Hey!" Yelled the red haired man. "You have no right to be here! And leave her alone." He grabbed Ellie's shoulder and wrapped his arm protectively around her. he took her over to the man with the Afro who was grasping his chest.

"Can you hear me, Jet?" Asked the short man.

"Loud and clear," wheezed the Jet man.

"Hey. Everything is going to be alright. Just keep your eyes open, okay?" The short man put his hand on Jet's shoulder. He was trying hard not to cry.

"What's going on? Michael?" Luke saw Michael crying softly by Jet.

"Save him, please," pleaded Michael. Luke was told not to give in to any pleading or temptations Michael threw at him, but Luke couldn't bare to see the man he loved so broken.

"Move out of the way," said Luke, shoving people off of Jet. He had one idea, but he wasn't sure it would work.

Korse had given him a vile containing the special gene that Ellie and Michael both had within them. If Luke injected Jet with it, he might survive. He brought out the vial and attached a needle.

"What're you doing!" Yelled the tall man. "Let us have our last moments with our friend."

Luke glared at him and proceeded to inject Jet. The man instantly went limp.

"YOU KILLED HIM!" Yelled the short man. Luke was also surprised. The gene was supposed to save him, but it clearly hadn't.

"I thought you were going to help him you monster," he heard Michael hiss. Luke had lost the trust of the only person he cared about, all because his plan didn't work.

Everyone sat in silence for a moment, glaring at Luke. He looked around at everyone. They were all on the verge of crying, except for Ellie, who had tears streaming down her face.

"Well you shot him. You're the real killer," spat Luke, trying to get the gaze off of him. Everyone just stared harder at him.

Ellie stopped crying and threw herself at Luke. She was pinning him down, punching his face.

"DONT YOU DARE EVEN SPEAK TO ME YOU MONSTER," she bellowed, slamming her fists into his face. Luke tried to get her off of him, but she was to strong.

"Please, Harley," said Michael. The girl payed no notice to him, she kept attacking Luke. It took two people to pry her off of of him.

"FUCK YOU!" Ellie screamed at Luke. The poor man sat up, spitting blood from his mouth.

"You're the monster, you bitch," said Luke, spitting blood in Ellie's face. The red haired man pulled Ellie into a tight embrace.

"Get out," the man spat. Luke shook his head no. "Kobra, he seems to only listen to you, tell him to leave."

"Party, he tried his best-"

"Now you're on his side? I knew Korse would change you."

Luke looked at Party. "You must be the infamous Gerard Way," smirked Luke. "I've heard a lot about you from boss."

"Your boss is a bitch," hissed Party.

"Well, his boss is the only thing keeping me and your precious Mikey alive." Everyone turned to see Jet, sitting up straight.

Harley

After Harley shot Jet, everything was blurry. She remembered everyone rushing around her, hurrying to try to give a Jet extra time to live. She remembered Luke coming in and Party holding her close, but she only thought about how she had killed Jet.

Luke was leaning over Jet, injecting him with some sort of liquid: the ante dote to miraculously save him. Everyone sat in silence as they saw the life fade out of Jet"s eyes. Harley didn't remember much after that, except that she jumped Luke and attacked him. Party and Pony had to fight to get Luke free of Harley's grasp.

"You're the monster," spat Luke, blood getting into Harley's eyes. He was right. Harley was only a monster, nothing more. She felt Party pull her in close.

"Why is he so mean to me?" Sobbed Harley silently. Party stroked Harley's greasy hair in response. Then he stopped abruptly. Harley looked up to see what the commotion was about. She saw Jet sitting up. The wound on his chest had stopped bleeding. Harley smiled. Jet wasn't dead after all.

She let that happy thought stay in her head as she slipped into unconscious in Party's arms

Notes

Hey! I found a way to keep Jet alive, but there was a twist. I was wondering if you like Harley and Ghoul or Harley and Party as a couple better. (Garley or Parley?) Those are probably the worse ship names but whatever. Tell me what you want to happen next.
