The New Phoenix

Chapter 16 ( Violet's pov)

        My mother and I stood waiting for Freya. After 20 minutes of us just chatting Freya came running to us , dodging trees and jumping over bushes.

        Once she stood in front of us she didn't even look at me she only turned to my mom.

        " Vennesa , what are you doing here." She asked , not even sparing a glance at me.

        " I came here as a guest. But my daughter here is in need of discussing a plan." My mother was gesturing to me. I scowled at her as Freya finally laid eyes on me. Disgust was clear on her face but I could see she was trying to conceal it as she put on a fake smile. 

        " Well than discuss away , ow all mighty Violet." She did a fake bow and turned away from me and was walking back down the hill. I followed close behind and waited until we were at the Rebel camp , in a secluded part. Suddenly turned on heal and was tapping her foot , her arms folded.

        " Freya , I know were not on the best terms, but just hear me out. Now I know this seems crazy but ... we're thinking about over throwing Red ! " I burst out. Once I looked into Freya's eyes I only saw ... fear , complete fear. That was until it turned to flabbergast and anger.

        " What the hell are you thinking. I know that we said one day we raid her palace and kill her , but this is insane! Her palace is always heavily guarded with lasers , ancient spells of protection , gargoyles , and she manages to still stay sane. How the hell do you think you could get past all of that!?" Freya practically yelled out waving her arms about.

        " Freya, you've never lived with her have you? Let me answer for you : no. Okay then, well I know that every Wednesday she drinks herself silly.She's usually asleep by 12:00 pm. So I think that if we can have a squad go straight for her room while the rest raid the palace we have a fighting chance." I finished my small speech and sucked in a big breath.

        Freya looked at me pondering the idea. A minute or two later she stuck out her hand. I looked at it before a grin appeared on my face as I gripped my hand to hers. A hard shake came from the both of us. I laughed as we both said " Truce". I guess you really cant go wrong with having a good friend.

        " It's a good plan but we need to start filling in the gaps. Hey do your mates know about this?" She asked.

        " No , but we'll discuse it tonight." I promised as we started walking back. My mother followed close behind and not without a wicked grin. I'm glad I made her happy. For once i'm not a disappointment.

        " Alright. Just make sure they don't want to go after me thinking I put you up to this." She said with pure sarcasm in her voice.

        " Alright , but I cant make any promises." I joked back. I flashed a even wider grin as we came into the main part of the camp. Many people just stared while others looked angry at me and shot glares. I knew they were pointed at me but I pretended not to notice. But my mother noticed and snarled at them. Obviously she thought they would bow to me or something. Well not anymore.

        I said bye to Freya and headed back to the pack house. A slow jog. My mother jogged next to me and once we got back into pack boarders we both stopped.

        " Why were they glaring at you?" She asked.

        " Mom , you know how we all hate Red?" My voice came out as a whisper. She nodded.

        " Well when they see me they think of me as her spy I guess. Most of them have been hurt by Red before and want her and me dead as well. I just try to stay out of their way." I said. I started walking and watching the sun slowly descend.
