Chapter Vll

My Hurting.

-Amelia-

To say I was shocked is an understatement.

Confused?

Scared?

Yeah, that's more like it.

How can someone go from being sweet to a complete jerk in a time span of five minutes?

I pretty sure Rayn just set that record.

Rayn had passed out a few minutes ago, completely exhausted. it's not like I cared. 

I was getting out of here.

I stood, being careful not to make noise, and slowly walked away from the camp. Once I was twenty feet away, I picked up my skirts and ran. I passed trees and caves, and my arm were covered in small scratches from the brush.  My legs burned, but I kept going. My lungs were screaming at me, but I was oblivious to the pain. Finally,  after ten minutes, I slowed to a walk.

I clutched a stich in my side and sat at the foot of a pine tree. I took deep breaths and closed my eyes.

How far had I gotten?I had no idea, but I knew I had to keep going.

That's when it hit me.

This was real.

It wasn't a dream.

I lowered my face into my hands, the hot tears streaming down my dirty and scratched face. The tears sung against the cuts, but that pain was nothing compared to what I was feeling on the inside.

I didn't even know where I was going, I was lost.

Everything seemed to be against me, because of course it had to start raining. The grey rain poured down my head, mixing with the tears.

Rayn.

The feared assassin was a seventeen year-old boy. I didn't make sense at all. How could someone so young kill without remorse?

How could someone kill at all?

His image was running through my mind. His black hair, those turquoise eyes that turned black when he was mad, his ever changing behavior.

I'm sorry.

Surely he didn't mean it, right? He threw me on the ground after apologizing! Maybe it was an act, something he did all the time.

A sign of my mistake.

His mistake? Was that a lie to?

They tell us lies,
They pull us in.

They bury us alive.

They hold us down,
They live within.

They never satisfy!

Lost in a world of dark delusions,
I'm reaching for the light!

We don't need this complication.

I clutched my head in my hands, I had a huge headache. I didn't need this. I was already soaked for crying out loud! My lungs began to burn, and coughs started to rack my body.

What the heck?

No. I'm not getting sick! I refuse to be sick! 

Great, now I sound like a two year old.

I huddled further under the pine tree, bringing my legs up to my chest to keep warm. Another round of coughs shook my chest. My lungs burned. I wrapped what was left of my skirts over my knees to keep warm, but my sad attempt was failing.

"Hey, are you okay?"

I looked up, hearing the shrill sound of a little girl's voice. Sure enough, a blond girl with her curls in pigtails stood a few feet in front of me. She had deep brown eyes that looked like they were studying my soul, and cherry lips that curved in a smile. Her pale skin gleamed in the moonlight, but her dress was wet from the rain.

"Hello?" She spoke again.

I smiled. "Hi"

"Hi!" she exclaimed, bounding over to me. "Whatcha doin?"

I let out a small chuckle at her eagerness. "I'm just......lost" I stated.

"Oh. Well, I don't live far away from here if you want to have a place to rest?"

"That would be lovely" I told her, standing.

"Nata!" The girl shouted over her shoulder, "NATA!"

"What is it darling? are you alrig-"

The women was cut short when her blue eyes landed on me.

She had dark brown hair that was in a messy top knot, and medium skin. Her blue eyes were bright and sparkling, and on her hip she carried a pot of water. She looked about nineteen to twenty years old.

"Who is this Lily?" The woman asked, smiling at me with white teeth.

Lily, as I now knew her name, turned and smiled. "She's sick Nata, can she come with us?"

"Of course! Whats your name babe?" She asked, switching the hip she held the water jug on.

"Amelia" I smiled, "But you can calk me Em"

"Well Em, if you would kindly follow me, I'll getcha fixed up"

"Alright that's fine" I went to take a step forward, but I immediately felt dizzy. Colors swirled in front of my eyes as I fell on the wet grass. I remember seeing Lily's pale little face before my vision went blank.

Don't hesitate,
to explore!

Burn the pain inside your soul.

Don't hesitate,
Let it go!

Start a fire and embrace the light.

And ignite!

Start the fire!

And ignite!

Start the fire!

And ignite!

Start the fire!

And ignite!

They pour the shame,
till we can't stand.

The site of out own face.

They pin us down,
So we can't win.

It's a game we can't escape!

But we don't have to let them beat us.

We can take control!

In our flames we find our freedom!
