AUTHOR'S NOTE
(Ususally I hate them and never read them so I understand if you don't but you guys deserve some answers. )
Hi Guys,
I'm so sorry! It's been waaaay too long since I've updated. I actually forgot about this story for a while. I've actually had this sitting on my computer just waiting to be uploaded. I don't know how to make it up to you guys but I promise I will finish this story! I read the reviews on it so far and I was reminded that my work actually HAS touched people's lives, and that inspired me to find my document again.
There is only a little bit of Chapter 7 up, because I still need to edit more of it but I wanted to get the story back up. More will be coming. This I promise you. Thank you for waiting!
Enjoy,
Writeagain
CHAPTER 7
VIOLA POV
When I returned to New Haven Todd was waiting for me. It was nightfall now and everyone was asleep, but not Todd. He saw me riding into town. Saw my tears and broke into a run. When he reached me he pulled me off of the horse and I leaned into him. "Wilf." I gasp. "He-" hiccup. "He's gone."
"Shh-" he tries to comfort me. "What happened?" And he's so afraid. I see myself after being asked and how I cried like I was crying now. And he couldn't save me. "Are you ok?" He said trying to read me.
"I-" I clear my throat and wipe my eyes. Stop crying! I tell myself. "I need to speak with Bradley. And you need to be there."
TODD POV
I walked right into Bradley's room and woke him up. "Bradley. Come on. Get up!" I shake him a little. He groans and opens his eyes. When he sees me his noise flashes in surprise.
"Todd!" He gasps. "What-What's wrong. Why are you in my room!"
"Viola wants to talk to you. It's important. She's in your office."
"Now?"
"Yeah." And he notices that little edge in my noise. And I let him see Viola crying and riding up and how worried I was-
"I'm coming." He says swinging his legs out of the bed.
When we get to the office she's there sitting in the old wooden chair pale as ever and shaking. What happened?
Missiles.
(shut up! There aren't any missiles. You're hearing things. Idiot)
"Viola, talk to me." Bradley is saying. He's sitting at her feet trying to catch her eye. "What happened? I've never seen you like this!"
"Wilf is gone. He was captured." She said quietly. "He-We found something. And-"
"What? What did you find?" Bradley's getting more worried.
Missiles.
"How do you know about that?" Viola says louder. She looks at me and my noise goes yellow with embarrassment.
"I heard you and him talking. I-with that stuff Ben is teaching."
"Missiles?" Bradley says as the word fills up his noise.
"Yes, stolen ones. Someone took them and they're going to use them." Viola says. She finds my hand and grasps it for dear life. She says this looking directly at me. "And they're just a few miles away."
Thanks again!
