The Betrayal

Chapter 12

~Chapter 12~

Amethyst’s P.O.V

I threw the rogue’s lifeless body to the side before scanning for any more threats. Once I was sure all the threats were gone, I shifted back in to my human form. I was tired and wanted nothing more than to go back to the comfy bed and rest.

As soon as I turned around, a mass of blonde hair tackled me to the floor. I was about to snap its neck when I realized it was just Jenna.

“Thank you, thank you thank you” she said as she clung to me.

“For what?” I asked confused, as I pushed her off me. I didn’t hate the girl, but I hated being touched. I wanted nothing more than my personal space.

“For saving me, obviously” she responded with a big smile.

“Forget about it” I answered “I owed your pack a debt for helping me and now we are even.”

“So I’m just a debt to you?” she asked me.

I felt a twinge of guilt when I saw the hurt look in her face but quickly brushed it off. I was sick of caring for others. I wanted to feel nothing but the anger that consumed my very soul. Every other feeling would just make me into the pathetic girl I was before. I would do anything to keep from being that waste of space I used to be. I wouldn’t let others walk all over me like before. I was stronger now, and nothing was going to change that.

“Look, I appreciate everything you guys have done for me, but I think it’s time for me to go” I told her,  “I don’t belong here.”

“Yes you do!” she snapped “ I don’t know all the horrible crap you have been through, but I promise I can help you.”

I hesitated. I had nowhere else to go and it would be great to not have to live in fear. If I became a rogue I would have to be constantly watching my back, and there was a high chance I would be killed off by the end of the year.

“Okay” I answered “I’ll stay”

Jenna squealed before throwing herself at me again. As she listed all the fun things the pack had, I couldn’t help but smile.

Maybe staying here wasn’t a bad thing.
