Chapter Seventeen
Siria hardly knew what to do. Why had he never told her? She picked up an apple and looked at it; she had told him everything. She turned and threw the apple letting it smash against the door. She turned and picked up the other apple and threw it at the same place. She continued to throw the food at the door. She hated Jay. When there was nothing left to throw, Siria, left the room and staggered through the hall and out of the entrance.
Ruby woke, it was definitely hard working, but she liked being busy. As she walked into the kitchen she was stopped by the mess on the floor. "What the hell?" She looked down at the smashed food and the mess on the counter. Turning around she went to the hallway were the rooms were. "Who the hell's been in my kitchen?" She spoke slow letting each word form completely in her mouth.
Lex was the first to come out of his room. "What's goin' on?" One by one the rest came out of their rooms.
"Someone trashed my kitchen."
"And..." Ebony wore a black robe, her hair was still in a high ponytail and there was an annoyed look on her face.
"And I wanna know who it was."
Jay walked out of his room there was a worried look on his face. "Has anyone seen Siria?"
Ruby looked at Jay. "What do you mean she's missing?"
Slade was looking wide eyed at Ruby. "You don't think..."
"What's going on?" Ebony questioned
"Seems the heroine is some kind of crazed maniac." Ram looked at Ebony with a smile.
"You're the only crazed maniac around here." Jay and Ram glared at each other.
"Don't test me Jay."
"Wait a minute how do we know she isn't just taking a walk." Siva voiced calmly. She was fully clothed and her braids were braided into one long plait down her back.
Ruby looked at her relieved. "Well I'm gonna go clean up."
"I'll help." Siva smiled at Ruby. "I can't sleep anyway." Everyone filed out of the hallway, but Jay was still worried.
As Siva and Ruby finished cleaning, Siva looked at Ruby. "What happened last time?"
"Huh? Oh...Slade and I told her we were leaving. We wanted her to come. Told her we needed to leave before this new tribe took over, but she wanted to find her brother. She blamed him for our leaving...well actually Ebony, and herself. She trashed his room. Slade tried to stop her but she was just too wild for him to handle. I watched as she tore at his pillows and ripped his clothes. I couldn't believe the kid I babysitted before the virus was so ruthless. So we waited two days, but she nearly attacked us saying we didn't need to stay on her account, so we left. I didn't think we'd see her again."
"You know if she wonders too far away from Liberty, it could be dangerous."
"I know I just didn't say anything back there because I didn't want to make Jay tenser then he already was."
"Yeah..." Siva held the mop in her hand tightly as Ruby began to start breakfast. She hardly knew Siria, but for Jay's sake she hoped the girl would show up very soon.
The sky was clouded over as Siria walked down the dirt path. She was a ways out of Liberty, but she needed time to get away, to think. She had feelings for Jay, strong feelings, but he had never said anything about Ebony and him. Oh yeah there were the girls from before the virus and Trudy, he mentioned them, but never Ebony. Siria's mind went back to when she first met Jay. In their time together he had never willingly mentioned her. As Siria continued to walk and think she hardly noticed where she was going. She began to round a turn, her emotions were cooling. She would go talk to Jay. As she headed back to Liberty, everything went black.
