Amnesia

Chapter 21 Ginger

My eyes widened. I looked at Eros and Colton, worried. They bit her lips. We hesitantly made our way over to where she was seated in between Angel and Sébastien. She looked up at us, eyes narrowed. Whether is was at me or Eros and Colton, I would never know.

'Before you kill me, Apple, I want you-'

'Wait... what? Kill you?'

'Yes. We heard you.'

'I was not talking about you,' she laughed, 'By the way, why are you with Colton Brate and Eros Nienta?'

'They wanted to help find you. I searched everywhere. I wanted to tell you that I am sorry for saying that you have no morals.'

'Oh, I see. Well, I suppose that was kind of friends of Lina's.'

'We do not want to be friends with Lina. She forced us to be friends with her. We will not be surprised if you do not believe that but-'

'Of course I believe that. Lina could never get real friends, so it is obvious.'

They nodded. She stood up and came over to us, 'I was talking about Lina.'

'Wait... you are going to kill Lina?'

'Of course. Why should I not? Alastair wishes her to take over if he dies.'

'You can just run her out of camp. You are better than she is.'

She shrugged.

'Well, Apple, can I finish my apology?'

She nodded.

'I am terribly sorry, Apple. I never meant to say that you had no morals. I know that you have many that the rest of us adopted.'

'It is alright. You do have a point. Most people who kill have no morals. I can see why you would say that.'

I nodded. She came over, placing her arm over my shoulder. We started back toward the main part of camp. Eros, Colton, Sébastien, and Angel followed suit. We walked back down to where the rest of our little group sat. They all glared at Eros and Colton.

Apple sat down in front of them, pulling me down with her. The others sat behind us. Apple sat as if ready to give a speech. Which, she probably was going to give one. She always does when she allows more people into our group of friends.

'As you can see, with us, we have half of Lina's group. Normally, if we had anyone from her group, we would bind them and torture them,' everyone grinned, happy to do so, 'However, that is not why they are here today.'

Everyone groaned, 'Why not?'

'They do not wish to be friends with their leader. They are the newest members of our group.'

'Do you really trust them?'

She nodded.

'You are insane,' Kai exclaimed.

She shrugged, getting up and walking off. I faced the two newest members of our group who fidgeted as if worried about the reactions from the others. I understood their worry. I had been the newest member before them. I had been worried about what the others would think of me.

I came to the camp when I was two. It was still WCCA, but I never knew it when it was that. When I was five was when it changed, but I never knew the name of it before it changed. Somehow, I still remembered when my parents gave me up.

'Sean dear?'

'Yes Aria?'
