Child's POV:
I was looking at the roof, trying not to wake mom up, who was sleeping in the bed next to me. The Bunny,who was laying on my lap,was trying to sleep as well.
"Can't sleep either Bunny?"
The reason I can't sleep,well..I get nightmares and flashbacks whenever I try to close my eye to sleep and I always wake up crying. And I feel bad for shooting that lady.
Demagogue:"Child?.."
"Yeah mom?.."
I looked over to see her by my bed, wearing a long nightgown that covered the bruises and marks. She did put medicine on them,so they would heal faster. But the cut on her lip might be staying for a while.
Demagogue:"Having troubles sleeping?"
"Mhm.."
She sat up,put me on her lap,and cradled me in her arms. She would always do this whenever I got sick or was upset. It usually worked and I was immediately comforted by that. I eventually dosed off.
Skater's POV:
Looking at the fire, I skated into the areas that weren't as bad,besides the bodies. I ran past the bodies while covering my eye so I don't see them.
"That..is horrible.."
???:"Hey..do you have any um..bandages?"
I turned around abruptly to see Angel wearing a bush. To be honest..it looked pretty funny to see.
"What are you doing in the bush?"
Angel:"Planning something."
Hm.. that's extremely odd. What's he planning..?
"What for exactly?"
Angel:"Well..I know it looks pretty ridiculous..but I thought if I got caught on purpose and made them back off...maybe they'll leave the rest of you alone."
"Are you crazy?! You'll be killed!!"
He sighed, rubbing his arm a little bit.
Angel:"I know I'll be killed..and if I'm honest. There's no one left that I love. The people I loved died years ago."
"How?"
He turned his head towards me,and started talking,
Angel:"I was 13. When it happened..It was a regular day..but..the government decided they needed a puppet for their plans. So when I walked home from school, hoping to see my parents again. I found them all dead. My mom,my dad,my siblings..all dead from gunshot wounds. My best friend tried to cheer me up..but I shut off all of my emotions..so I won't ever get upset when someone died again."
I stood there,it was odd.. hearing about his life. No wonder he never seems to smiling or laughing much.
"What did they do to you after they killed your parents?"
Angel:"I don't even want to mention it.."
I wanted to talk him out of it,and I accidentally mentioned that Caveman was dead while trying to get him to drop the plan.
Angel:"What..?"
"Well..yeah..he died yesterday. A guard killed him.."
He looked like he wanted to cry,but he was trying hold it in.
"I'm sorry.."
Angel:"Well.. I'm just going to go now..bye Skater."
"You're going to die if you do that.."
But he had already walked away.
End of Chapter 22..
