Chapter four

YI TING'S P.O.V.

I see Victoria saunter away,her shoulders drooping,and Christabella hands her a poison dart. Then she whispered something to her and walls away.
Then Victoria makes her way to Zoe Ern's office, her face sad.

I feel a surge of sadness. If she gets caught, who knows what the boys would do to her.

Also, it is also very risky for us girls. If she gets caught, and reveals our location, we could be in deep trouble.

Plus, the boys outnumber the girls. We could do without losing another girl.

"Glenna!" I call out to her, heading towards her.

Glenna takes her long knife and hangs it on her belt, taking her own sweet time to walk over.

"Will Victoria be captured?" I ask them, my brow furrowing in concern.

Glenna shrugs. "She has her nanchuck - she'll be fine."

I shake my head, my worry unfading.

"She'll get spotted for sure," I say, considering sneaking out to save my fellow solider.

Glenna detects the consideration and immediately shakes her head. "No Yi Ting, you can't do that. If she gets spotted,you won't help her anymore by sneaking out. Only she holds her own fate."

I realise that she is right, but I cannot just let Victoria just go like that. "But-"

"She'll be back before you know it... don't worry! She'll be able to mange it." She says again, her voice cutting cleanly over my words.

I finally sigh, defeated, and retreat to my bed and slump on it.

To forget all my worries, I play a tune on my phone -my favourite Korean Pop band's newest album.
VICTORIA'S P.O.V.

I try hard to concentrate on the face that pulled my wrist and made me fall to the floor. I squint, as my vision goes in and out of consciousness.

Mathew glares down at me, his eyes fierce. I blink slowly, my eyelids feeling heavy. I am overwhelmed with pain,but still try to get away from him, trying to wiggle away from him. He is above me, and he looks at me with... determination? I try to get out of his grasp, but his grip is iron and I cannot move.

MATHEW'S P.O.V.

I see a girl spy, and can only see her hair in the grasses that she is so well camouflaged in. Her eyes are on our home, filled with determination.

No. I cannot let her go near my home.

I immediately spring into action, running towards her at the same time shouting," Stop!"

I sprint towards her, my legs going as fast as they could (which is quite fast) and held her wrist before she reached the door.

I couldn't let her enter, but I couldn't kill her either.

She falls to the floor, her back hitting the ground with a loud thud. I grimace, but look at her. She shakes her head and tries to focus on my face, squinting. Once she knows who I am, she tries to scramble away, but my hand is still enclosed around her wrist, and she cannot move.

I look around. An idea is forming in my mind. I could sneak her out. I couldn't kill her, but I could let her run, letting her find her own way out.

Then if she dies, I wouldn't be responsible. Also, if she dies, I wouldn't know that she died.

I smirk at the brilliant idea that I had. I drag her by the arm towards the entrance, glad that I thought of something so quick in so little time.

Unfortunately, the smile on my face disappears when a shout comes from behind.

"YAY! Master Mathew! You caught a girl spy!" Alton shouts, clapping his hands.

I roll my eyes, and turn to face him, but realise that the whole clan if boys also have arrived.

I smirk, inside wailing that my plan had failed, and say," Take her and interrogate her."

Inside, I cry out, saying sorry, to everyone that I hurt.

Sorry,Victoria.

She looks at me with wide eyes, pleading with me, but I make my face unreadable.

I am so sorry.

Then they take her away, dragging her, and I swallow.

I am very very sorry, Victoria.
