Revolution

Rude Awakening

The light shone in through the murky window highlighting the dogs and person who sat atop of me. Alice had her face right next to mine. "How did you get out?" I struggled with my hands that were bound over my head. My breath caught in my throat and I struggled around. "After your friend Jay switched I was alone because no one came and watched me. It was easy to get out and your stupid dogs aren't doing much protection." I snarled and jerked up. "My dogs follow orders. They don't attack for no reason." Alice laughed and splayed her hands over my stomach. "If I remember right you use to follow orders as well. Don't touch that Onyx. Don't eat that Onyx. Go to school now Onyx, you are a smart girl." Alice leaned in closer to my ear. "I think my favourite command was harder Onyx, right there." Her voice was breathy as she said it. I jerked around again and Alice sat up laughing. "That was long forgotten, leave that in the past." I struggled around more until she dug her hips into mine. "What happened to you? My sweet Onyx use to always follow the rules. Now look at you, leading the revolution with a sad amount of people." Her hips bounced around on mine. "I-we are always growing. Our numbers are flexing. Sixteen here, fourty there, one hundred else where." I let out a throaty laugh. "I only have to call for our numbers and people will be slowly filing here, to our sad city to over throw the government, and then we will make it right."

     "Make it right huh? I think I like that. Although nothing is wrong." She hips stuttered over mine and she let out a sigh. "The oppression, the unfair rights, everything is wrong. Get off of me. Let me go and I won't kill you." Alice laughed at me and stood up off of me. "Im suprised you don't want me anymore. I use to be your favourite toy." She left my room quietly but didn't untie me.

    I groaned and flipped myself up to grab one of the knives on the shelf to take the bands off. They snapped around my wrists and I brought my wrists to my hands to rub the marks. I took off down the hall to Jays room, where she was soundly asleep. I lit a candle and smacked the wall violently, waking her and everyone else up. "Who was suppose to watch her after your shift?" My voice was laced with rage. She only stared up at me. "Did you not hear me!" She blinked her eyes. "John was suppose to. What happend?"

      I pushed off the door frame to stand in front of John. His tired eyes were looking up at me dumbfoundedly. "I don't think you understand what watch her means. She got out and decided to join me in my god damn room! Get your shit under control before you get killed!" I raised my hand and slammed it on the wall next to his head. "You get to go out and gather the rest of our ranks today. Get ready." John nodded quickly and ducked back into his room as soon as I was done yelling at him. My rage pored out, but calmed as Violet wrapped her hand around my upper arm. "You remind me of your uncle. You need to calm down now. Let's get you back to your room." She took me from the wall down to my room where the dogs were all sitting up obediently now. She set me down on the soft furs slowly, trying to turn and leave. I gripped her hand before she left. "Don't leave me yet." I rolled to my stomach and she traced the lines that shot down my back.

   She was humming a song quietly and I could feel my anger slowly seep away from me. Her fingers felt like heaven on my stiff back. I placed my hand on her thigh and she jumped at my skin touching hers. I only moved it down slightly. "What do you have to do with my uncle?" My voice was muffled by the furs. "Im his assistant. He took me in when I was sixteen and since then I have done all of his dirty work." "A hit man huh?" She laughed at me.

     I was shutting my eyes as she laid her body over mine. "Go to sleep Onyx. I will be here when you wake up and so will your army."
