Chapter 15

I woke up that night to howling wind. The old house creaked and the shutters banged. I shook from the cold air coming through the broken windows. I could hear the roar of the rain beating against the room of the old house. The house groaned, I began to worry it would collapse. Surprisingly the storm had an almost calming effect; my mind began to wander back to my old life.

            I had such a normal routine back home, every morning I’d wake up early and follow Clarke to the well to get water for the day; I took over once I got old enough. We’d eat pancakes with fresh syrup and then I’d go off to school. Clarke graduated, in our village school finished when you were sixteen. Everyone was so close in my village, I felt my eyes prick with tears just thinking about it. On the weekends there would be a huge bonfire and all the grandparents would tell us stories about our heritage. I never paid attention before, but god did I wish I had now. My village is destroyed now; everyone is probably dead or scattered everywhere.

            I felt anger build up in my stomach, raising my heartbeat and warming my cheeks. This is all Lynx’s fault. That bastard took away my home, took away my family, I have no one now. I sat up and hugged my knees. I looked at the bite mark on my leg; it had scabbed over and was already healing. My shoulder didn’t hurt anymore at least. I looked towards the mirror and stared at my eyes. Bronzy-silver eyes stared back, I looked away in disgust. “I’m ugly now.”

            “You’re beautiful. You’re exactly how I wanted you to be.” A voice said behind me.

            I tensed up. No, no, no, no. I stood up and turned around. He was face to face with me. I felt myself hardening, like a stone wall slowly being built up.

            “What’s that supposed to mean?” I spat out.

            He tried to smile, although it looked more like a smirk. “I knew from the very beginning you would be the strongest of them all.”

            “I’m not strong.”

            “Yes, you are. Look at what you’ve survived Autumn,” he tried to caress my cheek with the back of his hand. I jerked my head away; he ignored my response and let his hand fall. “You’ve been through so much and have still come out on top. I like that, I need that.”

            “You don’t need me.”

            “But you need me Autumn.”

            “No, no I don’t.” I backed up a step.

            “I’m all you have left Autumn. You’re parents abandoned you, your brother did too. I was told to capture you and you only.”

            My blood went cold. “What are you talking about?”

            He smiled. I had taken the bait; he wanted me to react like this. “You’re parents and everyone in the village sacrificed you to save themselves.”

            I backed up, I felt like I had been slapped. “No.”

            “Yes, if you think I’m lying why don’t you go ask your brother? He lives in New York doesn’t he?”
