I Pledge My Love (Revising)

The Disruptors

I woke up on a bed cot, cloth partly covering my eyes.

"Awake!" Someone yelled.

"Cover!" Yelled another.

Hand grabbed me arms and legs, securing me. I flinched, confused. Didn't they say they were friends?

"Um? Hello?" I scrunched my nose. "How are you all?"

"What? Shouldn't she be scared?" I recognized a gruff voice.

"You're the guy who cut me free." I remembered.

"What...? What's wrong with this one?" I heard a whispered voice to my left.

"Says the people who are holding me down." I muttered.

"Alright release I guess." Someone said.

I pulled off my cloth, wincing. Sitting up, I touched a hand to my head. It came back stinging, covered in blood.

"What's this?" I murmered, confused.

"Here." Someone offered me a small piece of glass.

In the reflection I could see a carved symbol embeded in red blood. A 'T' with a short third line that ran horizontally from each side, starting at the middle.

"Who did this?" I asked, looking up.

"Wasn't us. I mean, we're violent but not crude." The familiar guy answered. "It was that small girl. She did it while you were asleep. Besides the point. We need to show you around and have a talk."

Hands hoisted me up off the cot. Looking around I saw I was in a small room with four other cots, all unoccupied. The room was similar to the infirmary at the Defensive District, with metallic walls and tiles flooring.

I looked at the people around me. One was a man who looked in his twenties. His head was covered with a bag thing and curly hair was poking out of it. There was a woman next to him, thin and lean, standing with arched eyebrows.

The other guy looked like he was in his early twenties, yet seemed extremely boyish. His eyes were close to black and his skin was dark.

"Alright. I'm Rain." I said, sticking a hand out.

"Corwin." My captor responded, shaking my hand.

"That's Veeno." he nodded to the girl who offered a smile.

"They call me Bit." Muttered the eldest who shook my hand as well.

"We call him Bit because he's good with electronics. And because his old name was shit." Veeno laughed.

I was slightly taken aback that she swore so easily and without being angry, but shrugged it off.

"Let's go." Corwin turned around.

"Wait a second. I need basic info first." I said sternly.

"Welcome to the Vaughn. We are the Disruptors. You were a Loyal, till you changed. Now let's go." I muttered, still walking.

I rolled my eyes, following him out.

We ended up in a long hallway.

"Food, friends, fighting?" He muttered.

"What?" I asked confused.

"Food it is." Declared Bit.

We sauntered down the hall, stopping when there was a large hole. I could see a lot platform at the bottom.

"What's this?" I could hear snickering behind me.

"The Drop." Veeno answered, shoving me off.

In my moment of terror I thought I would die. The Drop went down about fifteen feet, then stopped.
