Partials

14 part one: Promises

I watched as the Partials used their sticky, disgusting saliva to cover up the hole they tore in my best friends cacoon. They slunk out of the room covered with fresh blood.
"I have to help her!"
"You can't Raven."
"Why not- they are torturing her. She is still alive Sin!"
"You saw what they did to her, she won't be able to walk on that leg. The Partials will smell her, find us, then we wont even be able to try to run away because she cant run, let alone walk on that leg, then they will retrap us and feast on us whenever they feel like it."
"I'm the reason she is here Sin! I have to get her out. You don't understand"
"No. I do understand. I am the reason you are here and I need to get you out." He paused calming down "I cant do that if she is with us."
"Sin. Please." I begged "You don't know what it was like in that, thing. I just can't leave her like this. To die this way."
"I know how you feel. You obviously care about her, you dont want her to suffer, and you want her safe. Safe and happy. Thats how I feel about you Raven. We all have to make sacrifices."
"I dont see you making any."
"I've made mine." He glanced up over his shoulder. I turned following his gaze. He was looking directly at an older woman. She was hung upside down like all the others, she looked familiar. Like Sin. Same dark hair and mouth. I realised how hard my heart was banging against my breast plate. It felt as if it would crack if it beat any harder. I turned to him.
"Oh my god. Im sorry. I didn't-" he cut me off.
"We will come back for them. For everyone. I promise."
And I believed him.

Authors note-
Hey guys :) it just felt right to split this chapter into two parts, so I did, but I'm going to upload both parts now because they are fairly short and you guys are awesome!!
