Rise From the Ashes

Violet's POV:

The faint sound of beeping is the only sound I hear, which is what I awaken to. Blindingly bright lights enter my sore eyes, and I blink hastily as my eyes water. These lights, while not nearly as bright as the ones in my cell, are still quite bright.

I rub my eyes and try to sit up, ignoring the tug of needles in my flesh. I blink furiously as I lean against the wall, panting slightly.

A nurse comes in suddenly, tsking me for prematurely sitting up. She then begins to check my vitals and remove needles, before handing me a glass of clear water.

I drink up greedily and the nurse smiles at me just as a group of guys all dressed in black enter: the rebels, led by the Prophet. I suck in a quiet breath as they surround my bed, and I still shuffle under the covers, flattening out my hair.

"Glad you're finally awake," one of them, the Mystic grins.

I smile shyly and introduce myself, "I'm Violet, and thank you for saving me back there."

The Deviant chuckles, "no problem, sweetheart. So how long have you been locked away anyways?"

The guys all shoot him a hard look and he shrugs in response. I fiddle with a strand of hair in discomfort, trying to come up with an answer, "I think six months, maybe more."

They all nod with sympathetic looks and I turn away, unsure of how to deal with their kindness.

"I'm sorry you went through that," the Mourner mumbles, and I flash him a grateful smile.

The Destroyer smiles, "we were just checking in on how you're feeling. When you're up and about, we'd like to talk to you about some things that maybe you could help us with," I nod, "if it's not too much trouble."

"Alright," I whisper, settling back under the blankets.

The he smile at me once more before filing out of the room, the Prophet the last to leave. He turns to look at me in the doorway, mumbling barely inaudibly, "I'm glad you're feeling okay."

And then he's gone.
