Familiar faces (Luke Brooks)

Chapter 20

Auroras PoV

The boy was Called Asa and he was the same age as me. He told me abit about himself. He was going off to California as he was offered a fantastic place at the uni, but all what was going to get stripped away from him. He was off to do great things and instead would be rotting in the ground, providing nothing but good for worms.

"I'm so sorry again really, they stripped away your life from you" I whispered and have me a sympathetic smile. I wanted to hug him and tell him it was okay when I saw a tear roll down his face. But I couldn't hug him since my arms we're tied back and I couldn't tell him it was going to be okay becuase it wasn't

Unless

I could save him by giving myself up. I could just tell jai and Luke they could do what ever to me as long as they let him go.

I couldn't stand to see him get hurt or have his bright future turn to dark

"What's going on" he whispered after a while. I guess it had kicked in what was happening. I sighed

"Monsters doing monster things, believe me, Luke had already shown me a nightmare and I haven't even fallen asleep yet" I sighed. Asa looked at me terrified. God his eyes where just beautiful and I hated seeing them full of fear and tears. I shuffled myself closer to him.

"He killed my best friend along with my whole school" I whispered and looked at him deep in the eyes

"He made me watch the mutilation and death of many people, some too young"   I edged closer

"I have me coverd in vomit, blood and been fed like a baby bird human meat, I've been stabbed, drowned and so much more and guess what" I said and forced a shaky smiled

"I'm still alive, and" I froze "strong" that last part was a lie. But it was the best lie I had

"I'm sure you and me can both get though this, I haven't known you for long but I know your a good enough person who is strong enough to get though this" I whispered. A tear ran down his face and he nodded.

"Yeah" he whispered In a weak voice.

That made up my mind. I was saving him. I wasn't letting him get hurt. I was already too damaged to be the same after this experience and if I die like this I want to go out knowing I saved a life.

"Well see you in the morning, we need out strength" I whispered out and moved back against the wall

I knew that the both of us weren't going to get any sleep tonight or having any strength.

I know my positivity towards this situation was crazy but something about Asa made me feel like everything was okay. Even though it wasn't.
