Blood that isn't mine 😑

Sophie's Pov

I was just finishing my speech trying to catch my breath after that very long ramble that insulted the council a little more than I was probably supposed too. I glanced at forkle who was in the stands who gave me a brief nod. I had passed, I had completed my mission, almost. I took a few more deep breaths knowing they would be my last.

Then everything came crashing down.

Huge red spotlights flickered from the sides of the stage's walls. My vision blurred from the lights that were flashing on and off. Then I saw a familiar figure walk through the lights their black cloak swishing in the slight breeze. Her long chocolate hair with her pale smiling face displayed on the screens around the room.

"Why hello moonlark!"

"Hi Red" I replied begging my voice not to shake.
That's when Forkle transmitted "Not part of the plan! Run Sophie!"

I gasped and tried to turn away but Red grabbed my wrist and twisted it making me groan from pain. Then all that training came back to me.

I used that arm to flip her over making her land on her back. "Oooh the moonlarks got some new tricks." She grinned and swung her foot to trip me, I dodged but she used the opening to get up and circle me.

She swung another punch this Time at my face. I caught it and twisted my manicured nails into her wrist.(Curtesy of biana) She squealed in pain as she kicked me in the stomach sending me backwards. I got back up and we fought for a while circling each other, countering the other's move smoothly and packing a couple of punches.

I pulled hope out and took a swing but she swiftly reached into her cloak and pulled out her own dagger. The sound of the clash sounded through the room. I could her gasps coming form the crowd and cheers when I got a good punch in. I heard my friends and families yelling. And faintly heard me Forkle stopping them from entering the stage. We continued to fight. My arms grew weak and I could see her visibly tired self as well. Then I heard flashes and Gisela's voice scream, "NOW RED!"

Red then pulled the a shiny gadget that I knew to well. I backed away slightly paralyzed from fear. I turned and tried to run but two neverseen members grabbed my shoulder and held me in place.

This position was familiar, and flashes of me being dragged to a metal chair by two cloaked figures. I promised myself I would never let them make me this weak again. And yet here I was, shaking as they held me still.

Red stalked closer and all I could think to do was transmit for help. I done know who I was transmitting too, but I knew it probably sounded very loud and desperate. With every step she took my heart raced faster. And with one swift motion I had the mechanism on my head, again. I started thrashing desperately trying to get it off. Not caring who saw, tears leaked down my cheeks. Then she clicked a bottom on her bracelet and the world around me.... Stayed exactly the same?

No monster? No nightmarish flashbacks? Then I saw my friends run onto the stage forkle trying and failing to stop them. Then they stopped staring at me with looks of disgust. I was confused, why were they looking at me like that?

"Sophie why are you leaving us?" Dex asked.

"You know why!" I replied.

Biana shouted, "Really? This is why? You let us become friends with you even though you were gonna just die and leave us alone!

Then Marella yelled,

"And just to try and make things a little better for some humans?"

"And you're failing anyway Sophie, we trusted you. I trusted you!" Fitz growled. That hurt, it really did.
