A New World ~ Violentine

Chapter 21

Sorry it's been so long! I just started college and have been getting used to it! With that being said enjoy!

Violet's POV

I watched as Clem got taken away by the guards and that asshole. We screamed as loud as we could for her to hear us but I have no idea if she could.

"We have to get out of here."

"How Violet? We can't."

"We have too! They took Clem!"

"They'll do worse things if we try anything stupid and you know that!"

I broke down into tears once I realized there was nothing I could do.

"Fuck. Why do you always have to be right Louis."

I heard Ruby talking from the other cell.

"Shug it'll all be okay. We'll get through this."

"Thanks Ru-"

As I was trying to speak we all heard Clem scream.

"What the fuck are they doing to her?!"

I grabbed the bars and shook them.

"HEY GUARD! FUCK FACE! LET ME OUT OF HERE!"

"Violet stop!"

"No!"

As I was shaking the bars we all heard Clem unleash a blood curdling scream. My mouth fell open in shock. I've never heard her yell like that. Whenever she was hurt she was always so quiet about it. Aasim spoke up this time.

"I can't listen to this. Can anyone get out?"

I heard everyone try to shake their doors but nothing came of it. As we were trying I heard sniffling from the cell of AJ, Tenn, and Willy. AJ was crying. I just realized while I was freaking out being selfish, the kid who'd do anything for Clem was listening to this.

"Tenn. Please comfort AJ. Cover his ears. Don't let him hear anymore of this."

"Fuck I forgot he was here."

"Aasim!"

"Sorry, but shit I feel so bad for the kid. Obviously we hate hearing this but imagine being him right now."

"No shit."

I've never heard Omar be so mean to one of us in the group but he was probably just as stressed as we were. Just as it was quiet for a little we heard Clementine scream in fear and pain again, and this time louder than ever.

"Fuck."

All I could do at this point was slump against the wall and hug my knees to my chest. Louis sat down next to me and put his hand on my knee.

"I'm sorry Vi."

I couldn't speak. I was dealing with too much fear and sadness to say anything anymore. There was a sad silence that had fallen over all of us in the holding cells. Because it was so quiet we could hear the boat start to take off. After a couple minutes we heard footsteps in the hall. Behind those footsteps was David himself followed by two guards dragging an unconscious Clementine in between them.

"What'd you do to her?!"

"Be grateful I went easy on her. Look even wrapped up the knife wounds. Not wasting pain meds on this thing but we could spare some bandages to eliminate the bleeding out part."

"You're a monster!"

"Yeah whatever. Have her back."

He aimed the gun directly at me and Louis and forced us to back up once again as the soldiers with him opened the cell door. They tossed Clementine's limp body onto the floor and she landed with a thud that made me want to strangle the bitches who threw her onto the floor like that, and the asshole who tortured her. They turned around and relocked the cell door then made their way out of the holding deck. I ran over to Clem as fast as possible and just laid her head on my lap. I saw the bandage on her face, making me realize that he sliced her face. I felt tears forming once again. I shook them away and checked the rest of her body. I saw her shoulder wrapped up again making me remember the whole sniper attack we went through. She went through it again and we could hear it happening. There was a slice mark on her hand and a giant slice mark diagonal on her arm. They were both covered with some sort of gauze. There were a couple more small cuts on her hands and one more small hole that was wrapped around her abdomen. I lifted up her shirt even more to see her entire chest covered in bruises.

"He not only cut and stabbed her. He beat her."

"Violet."

"I'm going to kill him with my bare hands."

"Violet."

"I will end him."

"We'll help you Vi."

I nodded and looked at Louis.

"Help me pick her up and put her on the bed?"

"Yeah. Yeah of course."

We lifted her up as carefully as we could and set her down gently as possibly on the bed.

"Anyone know how long it takes to get to the Delta?"

"No idea. Can't be a short ride."

"I don't want to imagine what they'll do to us when we get there."

"Me neither."

"Fuck."

I sat by Clem's unconscious body on the bed and held her hand. She needs to wake up before we get there. We need her and her ideas straight away. I didn't know what to do. We just heard Clem being tortured just because of her past with these guys. We had to destroy them, and fast. After what felt like two hours Clem's eyes finally flickered.

"Ugh fuck."

"Clem! How are you?"

"I feel like I just got hit by a bus. Where are we?"

"On the way back to the Delta. You were out for about two hours after that prick David was done toying with you."

"I'm going to kill him."

"We're going to kill him."

"I like that."

"Clem, did you know how long it would take to get to the Delta?"

"Uh yeah. I swear I remember Lily talking about how it takes about three and a half hours. It's not a short trip. Which is why they don't take it too often."

"They took it enough to fuck with us."

"Yeah."

"Well let's all just rest and stay as calm as possible. I don't want to imagine what it will be like when we get there."

"Me neither. I don't know how I'm going to handle seeing Lily."

"I'll be there the whole time, Clem. We'll get her when the time comes."

"Thanks Vi."

She sat up slightly to give me a kiss then laid back down with a pained expression.

"Now we wait."
