Chapter 13

Instructions

Attacked *°*°*°*° I try to talk to Via, "Via, Via?" Then Ola tries. "Via, Via. Look at me. Are you okay?" Via shook her head. There was a TV at the top of the lockers, playing breaking news. "That's, that's..." Via stuttered. Ola put her hand on Via's shoulder. "Welcome back to channel 13 news, today's breaking news shows attacks on the outer Villages in the Village Kingdom ruled by Pocahontas and John Smith," The reporter spoke, "Though their main village was not attacked, the outer Villages were deeply scared from the damage done by an unknown source." Another report stepped into the picture, "They left threats to attack the kingdom of Corona if the Village Kingdoms don't give them what they want, but it is unknown what they want." I felt like I was going to collapse. My family... Via's family... "Via, Lilly, guys? We should get going." Genna spoke softly. "Yeah, we-we should go." *°*°*° Via and I made it back to our dorm. My thoughts were racing, 'what if they do hurt my parents? And my freinds? I l0ve them and i dont want them to get hurt.' I felt like crying or passing out. Then someone knocks on our door. I got it. "Hello?" It was Ezra and Julian. "How are you guys?" Ezra asked softly. "We'll be okay." I answered quietly, but I thought 'terrible' "Why don't you guys come in?" I ask. I didn't want to, but I did. Julian talked with Via for a bit until there was another knock on our door. This time Via got up to get it. My hand drifted to Ezra when I saw that Catherine and my ex-bff were standing there. Catherine opened her mouth to say something probably hurtful, but was interrupted by Ezra. "No Catherine," Ezra snapped coldly, "I think you chose the wrong time to show up. You should leave before you regret even considering coming over here." My eyes widen. 'Wow... Ezra is always nice. Until now.' "I would listen to him if I were you." Mateo said. They left. "I didn't need your help." Ezra muttered. "Well, you're welcome." Mateo said and seemed very upset. "I'll talk to you later then," Julian said, and walked out of the room. "I'll go find out what's wrong with him," Ezra stood up and followed him out, "Bye Lilly!" I waved. Then Mateo and Via talked for a bit until Via stuttered, "I-I..." "We need a little space," I said, "But if you give her your number, she'll message you when she's ready." He nodded and handed me a paper with his number on it and walked away. I shut the door. "Thank you," Via said. We both hugged each other.
