Rise From the Ashes
Chapter Eight
"I don't know shit about the stupid Wild Ones!" I screamed, feeling the knife slice into my arm.
"I think you're keeping information from us, Violet." The voice of William sounded from behind me and my skin crawled.
"Please.." I whimpered. "Just let me go."
"Oh honey.." He seethed. His voice sounded like a snake whispering in my ear. "You'd have to bring me the prophet before I'd let you go.." With that he brought up a knife and stabbed my thigh.
I woke with a great scream, feeling all around my bed, not sure where I was. In seconds, a pair of strong arms were around me, keeping me from thrashing around.
"Violet, Violet! It's okay!" Andy exclaimed, smoothing my hair down. I cried as he held me, rocking me back and forth. "It was just a dream."
But it wasn't. It was a memory and one I was sure I would live over and over. "Andy, why am I here?" I asked, looking up at him through my blurry tears.
"What do you mean? Because I saved you!" He shook his head. His blue eyes still looked so tired and I couldn't help but feel a little angry.
"I mean why did you save me? Who am I?!" I exclaimed, pulling away from him.
He was silent, contemplating his words. "Just go back to sleep, Vi, we'll all tell you tomorrow."
"No." I crossed my arms. "I want to know now."
"Seriously?" He sighed, standing up as I glared at him.
I rolled my eyes and got out of bed, storming out of the tent. I heard him behind me, calling my name but I didn't care.
I busted through the tent of Ashley and CC. "Alright wake up!" I said, clapping my hands.
They looked at me dreamily. I felt Andy place his hand on my shoulder. "What's wrong?" CC asked.
"You guys have got to tell me why I'm here!" I said, putting my hands on my hips.
"Violet, come on. Let's just go back to bed.." Andy pleaded. I swallowed at the feeling of his hand on my exposed shoulder. I almost gave in. Almost.
"Andy, she deserves to know.." Ashley shook his head.
"But we can tell you tomorrow morning." Andy said.
"I want to know now!" I exclaimed. "I don't want to be here anymore unless you tell me." His hand was still grasping my shoulder and it was enough to make me shake.
"Andy, just do it man." CC said. I watched carefully as he looked up at CC, then to Ashley, and finally to me.
"Violet, you're the sixth Wild One.."
"I think you're keeping information from us, Violet." The voice of William sounded from behind me and my skin crawled.
"Please.." I whimpered. "Just let me go."
"Oh honey.." He seethed. His voice sounded like a snake whispering in my ear. "You'd have to bring me the prophet before I'd let you go.." With that he brought up a knife and stabbed my thigh.
