Ambrosia

The Colors In The Darkness

"Your name's Ambrodia?"

"No. Ambrosia."

"Anmerisa?"

"Ambrosia."

"Anb-"

"Let's just stop right there. It's Ambrosia. Am-bro-si-a."

"Ambrosie?"

The girl sighed.

"Close enough I suppose," she muttered.

"So Ambrosie what brings you here?" The boy asked, swinging his legs.

"My legs."

"Oh yes. That's an amazing way to get here," the boy nodded.

"You?"

"I ran. Maybe flew a little bit I think."

The girl laughed.

"So what's your name?" The girl asked.

The boy laughed,winking.

"Oh nothing important sweet heart."

The girls laughter faded as I woke up. My eyes never opened but sounds from the room reached me.

The beeping of the monitor,my steady breathing and the heavy breathing of another person were the only sounds.

"Ambrosia...Ambrosia wake up..." Thomas muttered, although I knew he was fast asleep.

His hand clutched mine, twitching occasionally, sparking thoughts of the boy from yesterday. At least I think it was yesterday.

I frown although my facial muscles barely twitch.

The door open, the sounds oddly missing.

I held my breath as familiar footsteps echoed off that annoying floor.

"Thomas." Zak's voice was loud and demanding and I flinched slightly.

"Thomas wake up."

I heard Thomas' mumbling stop and the shif-shif of fabric ruffling.

"Unh?" Thomas said, his hand still intertwined with mine. I enjoyed the feeling of his rough hand in mine but not as much as the mystery boy.

"Percy's on his way," Zak said bluntly.

"Percy?" Thomas was suddenly wide awake, his hand clutching mine just a little too tightly.

"Yeah. Cade heard him talking to one of his cronies about visiting Ambrosia again. Said he wanted to teach you a lesson or two abut disrespecting him and taking Ambrosia away from him," Zak said.

"Took her away from him? Ambrosia was never his. She's always been mine," Thomas growled, sending shivers down my spine.

"I think she'd disagree with you. If she could of course," Percy said.

"Percy," Thomas snarled.

"Glad you remember my name squirt. Cause it'll be last the thing you ever say if you don't move aside," Percy smirked.

"I'm not letting you any where near Ambrosia. She doesn't need your kind near her right now," Thomas replied coldly.

"My kind?"

"The kind who'll take advantage of her," Thomas said.

Percy laughed.

"Woah woah wait! Let me get this right: you think that I'll rape her because she's in a coma?" Percy seemed to find this hilarious, howling with laughter," Oh Golden boy you are funny."

"I wouldn't put it past you. You'll do anything now that she's not under your control," Thomas snapped.

Under your control?

"Uh guys..." Zak tried to interject but both boys turned in him.

"Shut up Zak," they both said.

Zak piped down,muttering to himself.

"Under my control? Is that what you think she was? Don't think she just got bored-"

"She'd never friend an idiot like you."

"Idiot? That's the best you can come up with?"

"No you son of a bit-"

"Guys!" Zak yelled, inserting himself between the two boys.

"What?!" They snapped.

"She's awake," he said, glaring at both of them.

"She's-she's awake?" They turned to me.

I sat upright,smiling weakly and waved.

"Hi," I said.
