MY head is throbbing… jesus fucking Christ man. whoever said passing out doesn’t hurt is a fucking liar.

My eyes flicker open as I try and get used to the light. I moan and sit up to see Greg kneeling next to me.

“Ashley are you ok?” he wipes my hair out of my face as my head starts pounding again.

“I think so…”

This isn’t the church… seriously. I’m sitting in grass somewhere in the woods.

“Where the fuck are we?”

He holds out his hand and he helps me up. I’m still a bit wobbly but he steadies me. “I flew you out of there. I have no idea what she did to you. But I thought it was best for me to get you away from her.”

What the fuck did she do? I don’t feel different. I don’t remember anything.

“We need to gather everyone. We need to talk about our next action.” He grasps my arm tighter.

“No.”

He looks at me with bewilderment. “Why not.”

“You don’t get it do you?” I pull away from him and stumble slightly but I catch myself. “I got this assignment! Not you. Not Lisa. Not Simon. ME!” I rub my neck.

He nods. “I know. but we can help you. Assist you in any way.”

“You can help me by not telling anyone, ok?”

I’m getting pretty cold with no shirt on. I’m pretty sure Greg can see my hardening nipples. Which is perfect…..

Anyone want to throw me a shirt? I’ll give you a pass if they hand me your name.

“God why do you have to be so stubborn?!” I’m about to defend myself when he rudely interrupts my stutter. “Seriously! This is bigger than you! And we all know it!”

He starts stomping around like the little kid he is.

Lieing time.

“Don’t you think I know that?! But I need to do this. I want revenge…” I look away from him and I can hear that he stopped prancing around like I just shoved a stick up his ass. “I need to do this myself ok?”

“Revenge is not a good thing Ashley…. but I will let you do this yourself.” I look up at him. “For now.”
