It had been
six days since the attack on the small group that left five dead,
but the pain wasn’t going away.
Now,
everyone but Jack, Andrew and Haley were gathered in
Amelia’s living room.
“Now,” Tori said, standing proudly
at the head of the group, “I think we need to decide who
our leader is.”
Amelia
stepped in, “No, Tori. We already had an agreement
that-“
“Oh
hush you ginger,” Tori rolled her eyes and silenced
Amelia.
A deep,
furious anger burned in Amelia.
After Jeff,
Amber, and Morgan’s deaths, Tori had become more and more
unbearable.
“She’s always been like
this,” she heard herself hissing into Brendan’s ear,
“the pretend leader, a liar, and a just plain
b/tch.”
The two had
discussed Tori merely the day before.
“I
know,” he shook his head, “but what are we supposed
to do?”
”As I
was saying,” Tori continued, “we need a set leader
before we move on.
Now, raise
of hands, who thinks it should be me?”
Nobody
raised their hands at first, and Tori became
impatient.
“What?
I don’t see anyone else volunteering! I’m the best
and only option,” Tori sneered.
Everyone
looked around, and slowly, Brendan raised his
hand.
Amelia made
eye contact with him, and her eyes must’ve displayed her
raw anger, because Brendan quickly looked
away.
Rachael and
Sherri also raised their hands.
Amelia
stepped forward, “Tori,” she growled,
“no.”
“What
did you say to me?” Tori hissed, turning and pressing
Amelia against the door.
“I
said, no,” Amelia straightened her spine and shoulders and
leaned in, “Victoria.”
“Don’t call me that!” Tori
screamed, pressing up against Amelia.
Amelia,
getting defensive, pushed her away and into the back of the
couch; the people sitting on the couch jumped and
winced.
“Guys!” Brendan shouted,
“Calm down!”
“Oh
shut up, Brendan,” Tori snapped, “I think Amelia and
I have some… unfinished
business.”
Amelia
clenched her jaw, and balled her hands into fists at her sides;
she was desperately trying to control her temper, because when
she lost it, she lost it.
“What?” Tori taunted,
“Afraid? Worried that everyone likes me more than you?
Because they do, you know. You’re a conceited ginger wh/re,
and you’re
worthless.”
Yeah so...
this book is probably going to be more bloody than the first...
-Fave, comment and give me feed-back? :D xx
