Finch didn't care about the fancy black letters on her sister's arm. She just hoped that Sierra was alive. 'Please Sierra, don't leave me… Please,' she checked for a pulse. 'Please…' she checked to see if Sierra was breathing. 'Please.' Finch lost all hope. There was no pulse and she definitely wasn't breathing. Finch lay her head on her lifeless sister. 'Mom, Lavina, I'm sorry, I couldn't take care of her like you asked me to.' She broke down.
For once she realised how strong, Lavina was. When Finch's favourite sibling died, she broke down but when Lavina's favorite sibling died, she focused on her remaining two sisters. Minutes trickled past. Finch held her sister's hand, afraid to let go. Then she thought about the murderer. Finch stood up as if an invisible force was next to her, forcing her up. 'I will get you.' Were the four words that escaped her mouth before she ran raced out the door.
Finch ran through the woods. She didn't know where to go, she just wanted to run. There was no one in the world for her anymore, not a single person. Nobody understood her. She was an animal in the city. Finch would be alone for the rest of her short life.
The sixteen year old pushed these thoughts away and the feeling of fury filled her. She sat by a tree, carving words on the trunk with a sharp stick, gritting her teeth. 'I WILL GET YOU' it read. This tree was where Lavina hid them, this tree was where Lavina was taken away from her. This tree was why Finch was alone now. This tree was the place where Finch's life changed, where her role model and guardian was taken.
Unable to control her fury, Finch punched the tree. Her knuckles started to bleed but she didn't care. Finch clutched the side of the tree and looked around, hoping to find something to take her anger and sadness out on. There was nothing so she kept hitting the tree.
Her stomach growled but she didn't care. The sun started to lower but Finch didn't stop. Her hands were covered in blood. Her hair was messed up and untangled. Her clothes were stained with dirt and blood. She was starving but too busy too care. Tiredness and exhaustion took over. Finch's knees buckled as a blinding white light filled her eyes, forcing her to close them. Finch fell to the ground.
Hiii! It's Housevergent! And this is the third chapter to my second story and let's not forget that this is my first AN! OMG! I'm soo happy!
Thanks for all your support! A big thanks to those who have reviewed and like this story! I'm sorry for the extremely long wait, I was moving houses so it was very hard for me to come online and there was no wifi available either! Luckily I survived for one week without internet...
I hope you like this chapter! Oh and btw when Finch falls to the ground in the end, she just faints.. According to a friend, everything goes white when a person faints forcing the person to close their eyes...So that's what the blinding light is all about...
Bye!
