The Wild Ones

Deadly

(Raven's P.O.V.)

“So the city is divided into two parts.” Says Andy, touching a finger to the digital map on one of the wall screens. I didn’t know much about the F.E.A.R. city before, but now I see that there are two walls, one protecting the less luxurious outer city and another, much taller and thicker one, guarding the inner metropolis.

“The inner city is reserved for ‘esteemed lords’ and even the Matriarch himself. The outer city is where the less favored lords live, along with the people who turn traitor to their fellow citizens.” I watch his expression darken as he speaks. So this is where his mother lives. The woman who betrayed her own husband and sent her young son to a fate worse than death is now living in the lap of luxury. The idea makes me sick.

“Today is Sunday. That means that everyone will be at church while we are getting whatever we need from their houses. The only living things on the street will be a few shadow men, and with any luck we’ll be able to avoid them entirely.”

“I didn’t know that people in the city went to church. I thought that was just a ploy to keep us one step further from freedom.” He shakes his head, looking at me seriously.

“The people in the city are not exempt from religion. If they were, they might pose a bigger threat to the Matriarch's power, by keeping a large portion of their free will under lock and key he eliminates any challengers to his dictatorship.”

I think I’ve hit upon one of the main reasons I can’t stop thinking about him. All those years where written words were the only light in my life have given me an appreciation for well-spoken people. Andy has a beautiful way with words to match his gorgeous eyes, not to mention the rebellious side that I can’t help but admire. He clears his throat quietly and I realize that I’ve literally just been staring at him for several seconds while I was thinking. Oh shit. Didn’t he say something about being able to read minds?

“Umm. Are you okay Raven?” He asks awkwardly. I nod, blushing furiously.

“Yeah. We should go back to the polestar, it’s almost time to leave.” He nods and walks out of the room, his footsteps as silent as ever on the stone floors. I stand there, shamefaced, for about a minute before I follow him, fortunately not meeting him in the corridors. He probably already thought I was insane, now he must think I’m possessed or something. God I hope he didn’t read my thoughts.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Stepping through the doorway into the polestar, I see that I have a potentially bigger problem. Standing not twenty feet away, decked out in glittery black warpaint, is the leader of the girls who attacked me. Please don’t see me. Please don’t see me. Please don’t see me… Shit. I think as she turns to face the door. I press against the frame, willing myself to become suddenly invisible.

Her eyes narrow and she purses her lips a bit but then she quickly turns it into a saccharine sweet smile and fluttery wave. I look around briefly for the source of her shift in demeanor and notice that CC is watching us apprehensively from across the room. When he sees that she is playing nice he breathes a quick sigh of relief and turns his attention back to his bowl of oatmeal. He seems to think that everything is fine, but I know better. Her bright eyes burn twin holes through my skull. From far away she may appear to be amiable, but from close up it’s clear to see what she really is. Deadly.

Notes

So it took me way too long to update this time and I fear that may happen again. Fortunately for me but unfortunately for my fanfics, I have been cast in a local production of the musical "Wicked" and the rehearsals are eight hours a day. Then when I get home I have to practice my lines and attend vocal coaching so I can hit the high A notes. I would love to get to the raid within the week but I might not be able to with my limited sleep and spare time. I'm really sorry guys but I promise I'll find a way to make it up to you.

On a side note I'm thinking of doing something in the comments where I ask you guys a question and you answer it/share a funny story. I'm not sure if anyone will be interested but today's question is: Have you ever been in a play? If so, what was it? :)

Until next chapter;

Oooh, good idea!

Glad to see you back ! It's been awhile since I've been in school , so I'm not sure what the consequences are for writing fanfics in class , but I've started carrying a notepad in my pocket at work to scribble down ideas on , and I've been actually writing on one of my stories during breaks . You gotta grab the ideas when they come , or they might escape . I hate when that happens .
