Back To Eden

"I swear all you fucking do is cry!" III spat in my face. I laid on the ground curled in a ball surrounded by my tears and blood. All I could do is cry and scream, it was like I was a baby all over again. I felt a jab in my side, letting out a scream in pain and frustration that I let myself trust someone all over again.

"You're not so bratty now. When you have the pretty little mouth of yours crying instead of running it miles away so your ass can't catch up." He smirked leaning down towards my face, balancing on his feet. He took my chin and lifted up to inspect the marks he left, eventually dropping my head onto to the grass with a thud.

"What the fuck-" I stopped to take a breath. "is your problem?"

A laugh escaped from his mouth as he bent forward in a fit of giggles. "You don't understand Reilynn." He smiled through his mask. "You won't remember. Any of this."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

All I heard once I got II to Sleep and settled down by the fireside, scared beyond my mind, confused, was yelling and pounding footsteps towards the camp. It was III carrying Reilynn back to camp, covered in bruises and blood.

And that's how we ended up in front of Sleep. Watching him heal II and Rei in hope that he will help them recover. III and IV stayed behind at camp to watch the place.

"This goes into your debt Vessel." Sleep spoke in a harsh tone. Then it came rushing back to me at once like a tidal wave.

The debt that I owe.

"I know. I will repay you." I simply put it at that. He nods quickly as he focuses on Reilynn's cut on her wrist.

"How did this happen under your watch? I put you specifically in charge of keeping the camp in order and protecting the members and Reilynn. She will help me return my full power to take over and you screwing my plan over is not helping. If this shall continue, you will be tested to show your true strength."
