CHAPTER 70

I'm in a different place.

Around me there is no Scorch, no Cranks-

Nothing.

Just a void.

A place I've been before.

"You thought you would get rid of me that easily?"

No. Someone must be joking.

"I don't think this is a joke, Stella".

She is back. She-the voice. She is here.

"How-I thought you were...gone". My voice lowered and my eyes slightly widened.

She let out a laugh that couldn't be sympathetic or polite. "Sweetheart, I can't just be gone". She chuckled. "I'm in your head. Whatever you try and do, I will always be here-".

I couldn't hear her speak any longer. I snatched the knife from my pocket and attacked her.

She caught both my wrists.

She let out a sigh. "How many times do I have to repeat myself?" She shook her head. She pushed me backward and I almost lost my balance.

"I'm in your head. Whatever you try and do, I will always be here. Even if you succeed in getting rid of me-as you did so far but permanently-I shall always be in the back of your head. Reminding you of what you truly are".

"I don't want to be you". She kept on. "Maybe you escaped, but the worst is coming. The people and the situations you will face will lead you to finally view what a monster you are". She spat.

As she said all that, I looked at her in disbelief. I can barely breathe at the moment.

"Mark my words, Stella". She leans to my ear. "You were, you are and you shall remain a bird with no wings of its own".

In a heartbeat, she's gone.

°•. ✰ .•°

I start to be aware of my surroundings again. My eyes aren't opening but I at least don't see the black void.

Instead, voices echo around me.

"What did you do!" Someone demanded.

"I didn't do anything, hermano. Why would I do anything?"

"Well, I don't know-maybe because we met you two days ago and you almost sold us back to WICKED?"

"Didn't I save you?"

"You call this-saving?"

I could sense someone standing above me.

There was a sigh. A familiar one. A sigh from a person who supported my delusions. Nolan.

"They have been fighting for about an hour, would you mind waking up? Your boyfriend was about to beat me up too-for nothing".

I only open one eye. "I'm awake".

He cupped his face with both hands. "Well-sleeping beauty, couldn't you have said that thirty minutes ago before we tried to prevent murder?" He raised his eyebrows.

"I just woke up-who will murder who?" I frowned.

"Your boyfriend woke up violent-accused Jorge that he sedated you or some shit and then he bursted it out on me as if I had anything to do with it". He let out a sigh of frustration and I could see that he rolled his eyes.
