To cleanse the devil (camren)

Chapter Twenty Three

Laurens POV

"Gather, gather." i heard a voice say. "Gather here, move in, don't be shy." I heard the crackling of fire. I stood up and open my eyes, it was a foggy view, blurry i guess. "feast your eyes on this witch. Or satan's helper." My sight cleared and i immediately saw Camila at the stake. "oh no," i tell myself. I moved into the crowd, pushing, shoving,  just to get my way to her. Once i was in the front. I could see her much clearer now. She was beaten, her lips drew blood, which dripped down. "camila..."

"Lauren, lauren help me!" she cried out at me, and i only stared at her. I saw as a tall man with a large hat, that pointed at the top. Almost like an oversized birthday party hat. "Lauren, please!" she begged with streams that rolled down her cheeks. I don't know what i should do. How did we get here? Whats going on? "Lauren!" she cried out one more time before being engulfed in the flames. I watched her burn to death. Soon i drowned in the flames.

I woke up screaming and grasping my body, to make sure it's still there of course. I was fine. I'm fine! I looked around me. I was alone. I wouldn't be surprised at all. But where was Camila? "good you're up, now get on out of here, out to social hall," a male nurse tells me. I immediately get up from bed and head out. The social hall seemed louder than usual. Ever since Lux and whatever his name what was murdered...by me. 

I sat alone on a single armchair, hoping for no one to talk to me. I don't want company right now. I looked to my side to see a book on top of a table. I grab it slowly and read the title. "Decision making and Trust issues" i read out to myself. "whoever would own this." "me," i hear a voice say in front of me. I put the book down to see a girl who looked about 12 or 14. What is doing here? "sorry, were you still reading? I just had to take a peek. She shook her head. "No no, keep it. You'll need it." and she walked away. I'll need it? What does she mean by that?

I open the book and the pages were all destroyed The words were all distorted from the ink being smeared. Except for one sentence. "Trust no one but yourself. Be true to yourself. Others will only drag you down." I questioned myself, and that girl. What did she mean? I look up to find a group looking at me and they looked away, whispering to each other. They would stare at me every once in a while. I then got up because i don't want to be part of anything. Once i stand up, a note fell out of the book. I picked it up slowly. "Woods, 10:45pm, dont be late." I read to myself. Once i look up, the group was gone, and the social hall was empty.
