Chapter 42: The Right and Wrong

Achilles' Point of View:

"I need to kill that fucking monster…" I muttered with distress as I started walking toward the exit of the hospital.

"Hey, don't be stupid, okay?" Carlos followed me and stopped me again. "What's wrong with you? Have you completely lost your mind?"

"I don't know what to do, Carlos! Did you not hear what she said!?"

He exhaled. "I did, but did you? You promised her you wouldn't do anything reckless. Is this you not doing anything reckless?"

I scoffed. "Well it wouldn't matter if he's dead!"

"It would matter if you are!" He insisted. "Do this the right way, please. For her sake."

I shook my head. Doing the right thing wasn't as easy or glamorous as he made it sound. It was slow, pathetic and probably wouldn't even end on our side.

"You should get some rest now, Achilles. I'll stick around." He suggested, after a couple of moments.

"No, I'm—um, I'll stay. You should go to your place."
