The choice I made

Chapter 24: Information

Veronica's POV

( 1 week later )

They starved me for the first 5 days and they've tortured me for the past 2 days. Today was Monday I believe but I was not too sure. Did the others forget about me? Probably not, I'm unforgettable.

"Is she awake yet?"
"Who cares? Hopefully she's dead. She gives no information, she's useless." Even though my bones hurt a bit I forced myself to stand up and walk over to the the front of the "jail" they had me in just enough to see the guards faces.

One male. One female. Noted.

"Oh your not dead yet? I'll have to put you out of your misery." The female guard said stepping closer to me.

"Want to know a secret?" My voice came out as strong as it did any other day. They couldn't break me no matter how hard they tried.

The female guard wanted to protest but the male simply laughed.

"Sure, say one."

"Ok...I'm not suppose to tell you two this...but you both will die. A slow, agonizing death."

The female laughed.

"And who will kill us?"

"Your looking at her." I spat and the female guard threw a punch that was headed towards my face but I caught it and immediately pulled her towards the silver bars making her scream out in pain. The male guard was about to shift when the door slammed open revealing light that I haven't seen in what seemed like forever. It caught me a bit off guard so I dropped the females hand making her lifeless body fall to the ground.

"W-what?" Before the male guard could process what happened I snapped my finger making his windpipe break in half. I watched as he fell to the ground gasping for air.

"Now you know how fish feel like."

As soon as I said that I heard claps and directed my attention to where it was coming from.

"Oh look. Isn't it the bastard who brought me to this hell hold." He laughed and came a bit closer to the ground.

"You do realize I can kill you right?"

"Then why haven't you?" He smirked.

"Because your pleading with your eyes that I end your misery."

His smirked dropped and he stared at the ground.

"You-"

"Shut up." I threw him the keys to the cages which he just stared at me at.

"W-why?"

"I'm not freaking deaf. I hear you come when you come to a cage and tell someone you will free them."

"Aren't you going to escape?"

"Don't worry about me. If you really want to help me take care of their bodies." I pointed to the bodies lying on the floor and he nodded while dragging them elsewhere and disappearing from my sights.

"Oh if your still there, I suggest you take your precious loved one and get away from here because all hell will break lose by tomorrow." A part of me wish he didn't hear that because he put me in this situation but I know he did.

Maybe about 5 minutes later the door busted open revealing two more guards who quickly opening my cell and roughly grabbed me by the arm with them upstairs.

"Where are we going?"

"The boss wants to see you." Oh finally. This is why I stayed in their crappy cage.

I went through many hall ways until finally we stopped in front of a door that opened only revealing darkness.

"Leave us alone." The guards didn't even object as they threw me inside the darkness.

"Don't you want to be free?"

"Don't you want a mint?" He was obvious close to me if I could feel his breath.

There was silence for a minute.

"You wouldn't anyone you loved killed, would you? Even the traitor and his mate you set free?"

"How did you-"

"I'm not a fool"

"Wow, you could of fooled me."

He laughed an evil laugh and the doors opened as several guards came and surrounded me.

"That smart mouth of yours just caused you your life."

I was shocked. Not because of his threat, but because when the door was opened I saw a part of his face and I realized I've seen him somewhere.

But, where?

Josephine's POV

I was outside resting for a while now. We've been training restlessly and I can't take it anymore. Training every single hour of every day has got me tired but also the fact that every day since the past week I've went to look for a tree with carvings and found nothing.

I swear if that girl wasn't dead I'd strangle the information out of her.

'Phoelia are you ok?'
'Yes. I'm perfectly-"

I didn't get to finish that sentence when two rouges suddenly appeared in front of me. The boy looked like Jason and the girl had cuts all over her but she didn't look a day over 13.

I got up from laying on floor and I was about to say something when the girl fainted but the boy quickly caught her.

'Get the pack doctor and come outside now, its urgent.'
'Be right there'

An hour later

I waited outside the pack doctors infirmary were the girl was being attended to. The boy was very impatient as he kept asking what was going on but I only shrugged with made him growl. Aurora and Scarlet were with me too and then kept asking me questions about who they all were and I shrugged again. My main focus was the boy who looked like Jason. Did they have some kind of relation?
