Life After Chaos: Havoc

Early One Morning

VIOLA'S POV:

        The past two months have been anything but slow. Every day there's a new threat, which is suprising considering the President, or Mayor, walked into his own death, and The Sky dissapeared. I can only say good riddance for both of them. Every night I come back to the new House of Healing, that has been rebuilt after the explosions from previos weeks thanks to Mistress Coyle, who by the way is also dead. I come back to the House of Healing to check on the only person in the world that really and truly matters to me-- Todd. 

        Todd was "killed" on a beach literally seconds after we had won the war. Seconds after the Mayor was gone. Seconds after I had finally gotten him back. And then he was ripped out of my life again. Again. We've been seperated many times, but none as severe and heart-wrenching as this. He was killed by The Sky, who ironically hated Todd. Or did he? I don't know and I guess I never will since I told him to get lost after he had killed Todd. A couple months ago, Todd and I were running along the river and ran into a spackle, and at the time Todd thought the Spackle were the ones that attacked his town and killed his mother (which by the way we found out it was the Mayor). So he stabbed it. And killed it. But he did it with regret, not knowing the whole story. Then he was at Haven, or New Prentisstown, and he forced many Spackle to wear these livestock brands, which he also did with regret. But he didn't have a choice. He helped 1017, or The Sky, out of a heap of Spackle bodies, and 1017 just ran away, vowing that he would kill The Knife (Todd). So when we finally won on the beach, Todd and I were just noticing something coming out of the treeline and I took a step back but Todd didn't. The Sky said he thought that was the president. I said I would kill him.

1. WHY DIDN' T I KILL HIM!

2. Why didn't I just pull Todd with me?

3. Why us?

But after The Sky left Todds father said he heard his Noise, so instinctively we took him to the House of Healing. He's been in there for two months, sometimes fidgeting in his bed but that's rare. I'm starting to lose hope. What happens if he dies? I might as well die too. I can't live without him, because I just love him so much, and he loves me just about the same. On top of all of this Lee has been hitting on me ever since Todd "died". Which kind of made me hate him. But it's impossible to hate Lee so I just avoid him, I know that he likes me because I see pictures of me in his Noise a lot. Pictures of me before he lost his sight, so I look a lot younger than I do now, a lot less broken. But other times in his Noise there are, videos, strange ones that I've seen only once before Todd "died". This makes me wish he was alive, so I don't have to deal with any of this anymore, and just be there with him.
