Chapter Twenty Eight: Song or Suicide
Vivian had been sneaking down to feed me every morning before dawn; other then that, no one had come to see me.
My strength was slowly returning, the cuts on my back had barely healed. Every time I shifted, one of the crusted bloodlines cracked open, kind of like chapped lips. I winced as I stretched from being hunched.
I heard footsteps descend down the stairs; it was too early for Vivian, I hung myself over and pretended to be weak.
"Ville, how are we this evening?" Augusts fowl voice filled my ears. I grunted in response. "Not so good, huh? Well I have news for you." he stepped closer to me and leaned down slightly, "I just got word from Jared, and your sister… is dead."
Screw pretending, I looked into Augusts' eyes, "Fuck. You."
August looked surprised; he grabbed a fist full of my hair and pulled my head forward. "You've been fed… Vivian," He concluded, throwing my head aside almost as if it was a ball, then stormed up the stairs.
Oh shit.

Much time had passed before August came back down stairs dragging a struggling Vivian. He threw her down the rest of the stairs and she landed on the floor feet in front of me. "Vivian!" I screamed.
She sat up and scooted away from her advancing father, "YOU'VE BEEN FEEDING HIM, HAVEN'T YOU?!" he yelled her as she coward away. Tears were streaming down her face, but she didn't say a thing. "HAVEN'T YOU?!"
"YES!" she screamed. "Yes, I have. So what? You wanted him to kill me and he didn't, why should I let you kill him?" She was no longer on the floor, but standing right in front of August.
I watched all this in horror; he wouldn't let her live after this. No one spoke to August like that and got away with it.
Augusts' lips pulled together, like he was about to spit in her face. "You shall be punished for your actions, but not now. In due time. Linde?" Linde seemed to just have materialized out of thin air.
"Sir?"
"Take Vivian back to her room and keep her there until further notice."
I watched as Vivian was hauled away. I pulled at my restraints with all the force I could muster, pointless. "What are you going to do to her?"
August looked down at me; sniffed, turning his nose up and followed Linde up the stairs.

BUSTED!! So… Surprise. Random chapter. Yes. It is short, but there wasn't much to put in that chapter. But the story is coming to a close, then you guys won't have to wait for me to update anymore. So R & R if you want. I'm going to be off my feet for awhile because I just had surgery on my toe, so I might get in another chapter around work. If not, I'm sorry. You're just going to have to wait a little bit longer. Sorry if I sound irritable, I'm on like 5 hours of sleep combined from the past two days. .
