Snippet #1594836

Nikolas wasn't sure whether to just lie there and let Katie and Taser kill him, or to attack. And even Rei.... And here Nikolas was, being stupid, and thinking Rei had reformed or some shit like that. When all he was really doing was betraying everyone, Nikolas and Cyrus. Well, Nikolas wasn't too surprised about Rei betraying him. But Cyrus? Weren't Rei and Cryus close? Well, as close as anyone could get in a place like Timeless... Nikolas looked up with hazy eyes, able to see and hear but not wanting to sit up. Why? So he could be up and see when they killed him?

Suddenly a burst of water hit them, even landing on Nikolas so he was now soaked. Great, he thought. Because I would totally love to be covered in gross water while I die. Katie started yelling at Taser about some lightning move, completely ignoring the water.. Oh, so she'll have even more power. Nikolas was starting to realize there was something about Katie... Her obsession with power... It was disturbing. What happened to the girl that took care of Alyssa? Who never wanted to hurt anyone? Who just wanted to shop? She was gone. And Nikolas wasn't sure what to do. Suddenly he saw Rei walk over, and his muscles tightened. What did he want? To kill him?

"Hey, follow my lead and we might survive this," he whispered. "Join Taser." Nikolas looked at him like he was crazy, but it made sense. Join or die. Yay. At least Rei seemed like he wasn't completely evil... But what if it was just a trap? What did Nikolas have to loose? He sighed and hesitantly stood, looking around carefully. Surrounded by enemies... Or was he? Cyrus would probably join them, if Rei was on his side... So three again two. Unless that John person, whom Nikolas was certain had caused the water to hit them all, joined Taser. But Nik doubted it.

"Katie... Taser... I'll join you. I'm sick of this place and I just want to get out of here. Besides, itsn't there power in numbers?" He asked, giving them all his best cocky grin. He crossed his arms and tried to ignore the stabs of pain. He'd have to stay alert...
