I'm back today with another chapter in the life of Vonya and how she's getting on in Trench, with Josh! Have a good day and expect another chapter soon! And like always I don't own nothin or nobody.
It was a bright day and the sun shown through the med tent. Vonya blinked multiple times and slowly sat up. The tent was empty and smelled of medicine. It was a sour smell and Vonya couldn't help but grimace at it. Vonya slowly got up and walked towards the entrance to look out, it was very quiet and Vonya wondered where everyone had gone.
Outside there were a few kids running around, but not many adult Banditos. Vonya couldn't see Brenda anywhere and decided she should go find her. She said she was gonna explain to Vonya the rest of what the Banditos did and why. Where could she have gone when she said she was going to explain everything else...
Glancing around once again Vonya fully went out into the open. The kids were playing with some sort of moss ball and kicking it around, they were smiling and screaming. One kid kicked the ball towards Vonya and looked at her expectantly. She smiled politely and kicked it, it felt way better than she thought. Before she knew it, she was playing with the kids! In the middle of the game a voice interrupted her thoughts and she spun around to find the culprit. Josh stood standing there, arms folded smiling widely at her.
"Well, having some fun are we? I haven't seen the kids having so much fun!" Josh's smiles widened even more.
Vonya turned to a dark red and looked down awkwardly.
"I, Well- I was.." She laughed nervously.
"It's okay, we have to have some fun once in a while too!" Josh somehow smiled even wider.
"Yeah..." Vonya was still slightly pink. "Do you know where Brenda is? She was supposed to explain everything else to me."
Josh frowned. "Brenda's our collecting things she needs. She didn't tell you?"
"No..." Vonya rubbed her arms awkwardly. Why wouldn't she tell me? Maybe she doesn't like me...
"Well since Brenda's not around I can explain everything else... what did she explain so far?" Josh smiled and gestures to the rest of the camp.
"Well.."
Josh and Vonya ended up discussing what the Banditos do for half the day. Josh had decided to show Vonya his tent and bring the discussion to end in it too.
"...and that's what we do." Josh finally ended the conversation and sat back in one of his chairs. "Any other questions you need answered?"
Vonya sat back too and sighed. "I don't think so."
Josh smiled again and stood up. "Well V if you ever need anything I'll be around. Always. I need to help organize patrols but feel free to explore the rest of the camp I didn't get to show you." Josh had a pout on his face but quickly morphed it into a smile and left.
Vonya sighed. As she sat there a memory tickled her mind.
"Vonya! No!"
The guards took her to the waiting Nico. He wore a huge smile that could slice the thickest metal.
"Well welcome back Vonya.."
Flashes of memory painfully reminded her of what she lost.
"Who did you escaped with Vonya?" Nico knew; he was playing a never ending game with her, he was winning.
"I-I can't remember." Vonya weeped for weeks. She would never remember; Nico made sure the face was beat out of her. Vonya knew it too and also knew whoever she attempted to escape with didn't care enough to save her. She'd never know.
Vonya stood up and wiped the stray tears away. She was free, better to not dwell in the past anymore. Vonya made her way outside and headed towards the med-tent. Maybe she'd find Brenda in there, back from getting supplies.
Brenda was in the tent and waved to Vonya as she entered.
"Sorry I wasn't here earlier. I had to get some supplies real quick. But now I can explain everything else." Brenda walked over to Vonya.
"Oh there's no need too. Josh explained everything this morning. I ran into him, looking for you." Vonya went over to her cot and sat down.
Brenda laughed. "He did, did he?"
"Yeah?" Vonya didn't understand the big deal.
"Well then. I'd be careful, if I'm correct I think Josh is flirting with you and some girls get very jealous."
"Flirting? And what do you mean be careful?"
Brenda ran her hand over her face. "Just be careful okay V?"
"I will.." Brenda nodded and looked up as a light brown haired boy walked in. He had wild eyes and looked like he was gonna cry.
"What is it Jake?" Brenda asked quickly.
"Lily is going into labor!" Brenda ran to her desk and picked up various items.
"Okay! Go to her I'll be there in a second!" Jake rushed back out the door.
Brenda looked at Vonya apologetically. "I got to go, sorry V catch you later." Brenda then ran out the door too. Vonya sighed. After a while she heard thunder and heard the familiar pitter-patter of rain. The rain slowly lolled Vonya to sleep. Her dreams were filled full of nightmares.
"Vonya! No!"
Vonya was sitting at her desk, staring at the wall. She felt nothing, she was nothing. She'd have her Ceremony today. But she didn't care, she didn't feel anything. The guards came to her room and took her to the hall. All nine bishops waited there for her. While others watched on the uncomfortable benches.
"Do you swear to always rejoice vialism Vonya?"
"I solemnly swear."
Nico then put black paint on her neck and covered her hands.
"You will always be tied down by vialism; welcome Vonya."
"Welcome Vonya." The others behind her echoed. Nico's smile was the last thing she saw. She was truly trapped in this hell. Blackness filled her vision.
"No! Vonya!"
"An echo. So silent. My skin will start to breakup and fall apart."
The voice stopped and Vonya finally rested peacefully.
Vonya woke up to chirping birds. The sun was not up yet; it was still slightly dark outside. Vonya sat up and stretched her sore muscles. Why were they sore? Vonya sighed and slowly got up. She was covered in mud from head to toe. I wonder if they have places to get clean. As if on cue Brenda walked in and looked at Vonya.
"Wow. Not trying to be mean, but... I think you need a bath." Brenda chuckles. "But we only have ponds." Vonya's cheeks turned slightly pink.
"Yeah. I guess I do." Brenda handed her some clothes and gave her directions to a pond nearby.
Vonya made her way there quickly, not wanting to show the Banditos how dirty she really was. She hadn't taken a shower or bath in what felt like years.
Vonya finally made it and set her clothes down. Does she wear her old clothes or take them off? What if others come and see her naked? Vonya didn't want to take the chance and left her clothes on. Vonya made her way into the pond. It was a lot warmer then she thought it would be. It was comfortable. After a while Vonya made her way out and looked for her clothes. Where were they?
They aren't on the rock she left them on. There was a slight rustle and three girls walked out. One was holding her "lost" clothes. The others were holding mud in both hands. The girl in the lead walked closer and said with a sneer; "Stay away from Josh you little DEMA scum." The girls then threw the mud at Vonya and threw her the clothes. The clothes were also covered in mud and torn up. The girls ran off and left Vonya crying on the ground. One word repeating through her mind.
Worthless
Vonya stayed there even when it started to get dark. She crawled over to a bush and promptly fell asleep with tears still falling from her eyes.
I know this has a sad ending but don't worry! It will somehow look up for Vonya! I swear! This chapter will most likely be the size of the rest, the first chapter was a little bigger to start it out. Have a good day and I'll be posting again! Bye now!
