Cuts Run Deep

Chapter 2

"Raven, whatever you need to tell me just tell me." Thomas says with a shakey voice

"Thomas I can't tell you if it'll be the last words you'll ever hear" I say barely getting words out.

"Please!" Thomas yells

"Fine all I want you to remember is Cuts.Run.Deep" I say slipping my words

"Raven, I love you, you're the only thing that ever makes me happy." Thomas says he kisses my cheek as he gets dragged away.

All I hear is him screaming and then a gunshot-

I sprang up from my bed a sweaty mess. I rub my eyes a few times then focus on a figure sitting at the end of my bed.

Thomas.

"Nightmare huh?"Thomas asks with a worried look on his face.

"Mhm, I'm okay." I say still breathing very hard.

"Raven, I-"

I quickly interrupt him with a kiss. His hands slowly fall to my hips. I quickly stop kissing him to say something.

"Thomas, do you remember anything about me?" I ask impatiently

"All I remember is you saying something I'll never forget." Thomas replied.

"What was that?" I ask again shifting my arms so I'm more comfortable

"You leaned in and said in a soft voice, Cuts.Run.Deep." Thomas said in a quiet voice.

Cuts.Run.Deep! Oh my shuck!

"Does that mean anything to you?" Thomas asks looking at me deep in the eyes

"No, I don't remember anything." I reply completely lying.

"Okay well goodnight, Raven see you in the morning." Thomas says and kisses my forehead one last time before leaving the hut quietly.

I still can't sleep and it's. 12:22 a.m. I have to get some sleep, but how? Maybe I just need some air, yeah that'll help.

I quickly but quietly get my regular clothes on and a black sweatshirt, and go outside. I decided to go behind the hut so no one could see me.

All of a sudden I accidentally snap a twig a from behind a tree a shadowy figure pops out. I quickly put my hood on as the other person already had theirs on.

They threw the first punch so I hit back knocked 'em in what seemed like the face was really just their forehead.

They took my arm and twisted it back. I tripped it and they pulled me down with em. We're both just wrastlin around on the groind. Until they turn me over on my back and held a knife to my throat.

They de-hooded me and gasped. Then they took off their hood.

"Newt!" I yelled quietly

"Shhh" Newt says with a finger over his mouth. He motions for me to follow him.

We both go through one of my open windows. We both get flat against the wall listening for people, waiting for people to come looking. No one came.

"What the bloody hell were you doing out there!" Newt exclaims

"Don't bloody hell me, what the shuck where you doing out there!" I yell quietly

"Eh, eh, eh, I asked you first what. The. Bloody. Hell. Where you doin out there?" He says spitting his words.

"I needed air I couldn't sleep." I say folding my arms

"That's no goddamn reason to go out there in the middle of the bloody night!" He exclaims

"Okay now your turn why where you out there?" I asked

"Alby wanted me to be watch dog just in case something bad happened, it was my shift" Newt said

Damnnit, that's a good reason.

"Whatever I need sleep please get out and don't come back till morning."

When Newt left, I flopped back down onto my bed after changing and fell into a deep sleep.
