The Next Eve

Chapter Five - I Didn't Sign Up For This

Ana's P.O.V.

I woke up on a hard bed. In a room that wasn't mine. Was I kidnapped? Oh no. My parents don't have enough money for a ransom! I'm going to die here. I sat up in the bed and looked around. Everything was neat and so well organized.

I wasn't tied to the bed so I guess that was good. I quietly opened the door and stood out in the long narrow hallway. The door was just ahead. If I ran fast enough I could get out of here. Back to my family.

Okay, here goes nothing. I bolted for the door and got out. It's the woods and I'm in my pjs. I'm never going to survive out here.

"Ana! What the hell are you doing?" I turned around to face Sam. Did Sammy kidnap me? That's ridiculous.

"Sammy! Thank god you're here. I think someone kidnapped me. Can you take me home?" Josh came out from behind the cabin door and smiled cheekily at me. "You son of a... Ugh!" I marched strait to him and slapped him right in the face.

My vision was blurry but I just kept hitting his chest. It didn't seem like it phased him. I felt myself being picked up and I struggled to get out of whoevers hold I was in.

"Let me go!" I was crying and my head hurt.

"No Ana. Stop it." How dare Sam pull me away from him! He set me down and held my shoulders. "Calm down."

How was I supposed to calm down? Josh isn't exactly innocent!

"I will not calm-" I fell to the ground. My head was pounding.

"What's wrong with her?" Wow. Josh actually sounded like he cared.

"Shut up wolf boy. I don't know." Wolf boy?

I felt my head burst in pain. There were a million voices screaming. I covered my ears with my hands and screamed in pain.

"Do I call the Sarg?" Sammy was panicking and it wasn't helping my current situation.

"Call the queen! Can't you see she's in pain? Why are you her Guardian anyway?" Guardian? I felt the air being sucked out of me and the pain was gone. Everything came flooding in. Soon it was all black.

I woke up and I was back in the cabin. I didn't want to get up. This was all too much.

"Your stupid memory charm didn't work." I quietly sat up and listened to their conversation.

"What else was I supposed to do? The more she knows, the more danger she's in!" I winced. My head was pounding. Imagine hitting your hand on the edge of a desk, you know that pulsing feeling your hand gets. Well that's my head right now, just ten times worse.

I threw the blankets off of me and walked out to the hallway. Instead of running out the door again I walked to the sitting room.

Josh and Sam were sitting in the two wooden chairs in front of the fire place. I didn't want them to lie to me anymore. I wanted answers.

"No more lies. Please just tell me the truth." Sam sighed.
