*Lilly's pov*.
A week after she was taken

I was on my knees. Each person was punching me. It was my punishment for leaving.

"Harlem, your up next!" The commander of his troop yelled. He came up to me and kneeled.

He pulled my head up and looked into my eyes. He pulled his hand back and punched me smack dab in the middle of my face.

I threw my head back and looked at him. He left and the punching continued.

It was about five hundred punches in when Nora came in. "Where is she!" She yelled at me.

"Who?" I asked. She kicked my face. "Don't play stupid!" She yelled. She kicked me until I fell to my side.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, what's going on?" Harlem asked. "Kyla escaped. And I think this one has something to do with it."

Kyla? I thought she... "What do you know!" She yelled in my face. When I didn't answer they brought me to the interrogation room.

They put a lie detector around me. "Do you know who Kyla is."

"Yes."

"What happened? Where is she?"

"I don't know"

"Damn it. She telling the truth. Do you know how she could escape?"

Now this was the time where I could lie or tell the truth and be right at the same time.

"No."

I waited a minute. Nora unwrapped me and sent me to a new room. Once I got there Harlem was waiting for me.

"Silver hurt yet?" He asked. I snarled and walked into the room. Harlem was about two years older than me.

He had a nice build, but here, everyone does. He had blond hair and green eyes. He was about 6 feet tall.

He also walked into the room. "Remember what happened all those years ago? Remember what I said?"

I ignored him and wrapped myself under my covers, wanting to sleep. "I said I would get my revenge."

I rolled my eyes, then closed them. I was sorta listening to him, but I was dozing off.

"What about Deon? Would you do it if I didn't kill him?" He asked. My eyes opened and I pounced on him.

"What did you say?" I asked. My arm was on his neck. He grinned. "We found him along the border."

He coughed and I let go of his neck. "No. Let him go!" I yelled and scratched his face.

What the hell was Deon thinking? He's going to get himself killed! "There's only one way to keep him safe..."

When he said that he held on to my hips. I looked at him. God damn it Deon, God damn it.

*****************

*Deon's pov*

Kyla and I have been on it for the past week. We've plan an escape. Joe also got really worried. And Joli threw up.

We are planning on attacking in a month. I hope she is okay. I hope she is not hurt. I hope...

*****************

*Lilly's pov*

"Hell no!" I said and jumped away. I would never do that to Deon. But he would be killed if I didn't...

"There has to be another way. Just no. I will not have sex with you." I said, trying to reason with him.

"So you care about this guy?" He asked. "I guess you haven't heard." I said, intriguing him.

"What." He asked. "Section thirty eight. There was an escape. Deon worked there. Until he met me."

"What's so special about you?" He squinted his eyes, wanting to know. "That's what I can't figure out."

This is like the old days, when we could just talk. No worring about someone grabbing someone else. Then trying rape them. What happened to those days?

"That doesn't make sense! Why would he just switch sides so suddenly?" He asked. As if we were okay.

I shrugged. "He helped me out, so I swore to protect him." I sorta lied. Just like back then.

"Then he must mean something to you. Because you didn't swear to protect that one person when they let you out. Hmm?" He asked.

Kyla let me out. Or she leant me a hand. She was my only friend. She helped me through all this.

She was only about two years older than me. A little taller. More tan. She was actually the idol for me. I wanted to be like her.

"That's because I thought she died." I said with my blank face. He held my glare.

He could stand my beady little eyes and looked away. At this point we were both sitting criss cross on the floor.

I sighed. "Why did you try to rape me? We were such good friends..." I shook my head.

He look at the carpet. He started to fiddle with it. He sighed and stood up. "If you need me, I'll be in the other room."

He left. I want answers. But I also want sleep. The test starts tomorrow. They are testing me on my strength. So I need sleep.

I went to bed and I just could stop thinking about Deon. What if he was hurt? Dead?

*****************

I woke up around four. I knocked on Harlem's door. I needed to ask him something.

"Come in." He said. I walked in and he was putting on his black T-shirt. "Where is Nora." I asked.

"She doesn't wake up till noon. Witches need a lot of energy you know."
He said. Mentally noted.

"You ready?" He asked. He was actually acting like he was before it happened. "Never." He smiled. "That's Lilly for ya."

I gave him a quick smile. "A.K.A. Black Fire." That was one of the nicknames I was given here.

Others would include Black Death, Hell's angel, Demon spawn. Demon. There were a lot.

"Let's go. I'll get you a coffee." I shook my head. "I don't like coffee." I said. He frowned. He nodded and walked out.

We arrived at the test station and there were three people waiting. They all had clip boards.

"Ready?" I nodded my head and a whistle blasted. Out came a few troops. Newbies.

I easily took them out. Then came a troops worth of trained men. There were a few bruises, but it was fine.

Last were some newbies with guns. It was so easy. Newbies don't know a thing.

Then was the field. Two portions. They gave me a beebee gun. They threw me into a forest like large room.

The lights went off. There were a few whispers, so I knew I wasn't alone. I picked up a rock and threw it over to the right.

Then guns went off. I shot where the flashes were. I think I missed one. The lights went on and there was not one person standing.

Second portion. It was like a military training course. Except there were people shooting at you.

I finished that up in less than five minutes. Then the last portion came. I have never done this one yet so, I don't know how it was going to end up.

Shifting. I ripped out of my clothes and a dark wolf appeared. My beady eyes glared into everything I could see.

I heard something behind me. I turned and a wolf was sneak attacking. I pounced and before I could rip their little head off, there was a shock.

"No killing." I was told. I growled and let them go. He was gross anyway. A few more attacks went by and it was still easy.

Then came Harlem. He was quick. I was quick. He was strong. I was stronger.

I beat him and he threw a fit. I remember when he did that when he couldn't get what he wanted.

I finished my test and my score was threw the roof. But I didn't care. I wanted out.

'Lilly? Answer me. Please.' Joe begged threw the mind link.

I've been ignoring him. I need to get out by myself. I've only done it with one other. I also want to te-

"I brought you dinner. I know you have to be worn out by now." Harlem offered.

I took the trey. "Thanks." He nodded. "Why did you try to rape me?" I asked. That took him off guard. He looked at the ground.

I took a bite of mushed... Crap. It was gross. I pushed it back and went back to my criss cross siting position.

"I... It... Um..." Be couldn't seem to find an answer. "Okay... You and Nora. You a thing yet?" I asked. He shook his head.

"I hate her. A lot." He explained. He sighed. "I was ordered to. To test you. You were thirteen. You were on the verge of shifting. He just wanted it to go faster. He thought provoking you would be the answer."

I've blamed him all these years. Why didn't he tell me back then? Why did he... Why?

"I'm sorry. It's the truth though. I was fifteen and scared. I really am sorry."
