When hidden from the light

Chapter 15

I awoke with a start. Someone was knocking on the door. I quickly got out of bed and got dressed then I dreaded over to the door and unlocked it. A guard stood at the doorway and I could already guess what he would say before he even said it.

"It's time for your next task."

I followed him to the meeting room and sat down. Renée sat at the head of the table and one person sat to her right.

"This time you will not be stealing anything." Renée began.

I relaxed. Thank goodness.

"I would like you to talk to Damian Barton."

"What?" I said.

"You heard her." The man beside Renée said.

I recognized his voice.

"You will visit Mr. Barton."

Then I realized where I had heard him, the meeting I had recorded.

"Why do you want me to talk with him?"

"He has information we need, and he seems to trust you."

"You want me to betray him?!"

"If that's what you want to call it"

"No, I won't. I have helped you, done everything you asked but this is too much. I don't care what you do to me, but it can not effect anyone I know. Not Barton, not my family. Get the information yourself!"

Renée stood up from her chair at the head of the table. She looked furious. I realized speaking up to her was the worst thing I could ever do and I immediately regretted it.

I took a deep breath. I shouldn't have said that.

"I'm sorry, I will visit Mr. Barton and get the information you need."

The person beside Renée told me what I needed to learn from Barton and when I'd be leaving. It would happen very early the next day.

That night I fell asleep exhausted and nervous about what would happen when I met Mr. Barton. Lately I've had no trouble sleeping because of the late nights. But I was worried, I considered Barton as a friend.

Hello, how is school? I'm not getting much homework which is awesome. I'm sorry I haven't been updating as often. I've been having trouble getting ideas. Il try to update as much as I can! Have a great day!
