It come out wrong
Nicta placed her book she had been reading for the last few hours down. And tilted her head slightly, getting a good read, on the message she was receiving.
She looks over at Olly who is watching Tv. “Edwin Coming, he wants to question Scylla. And I have to say it about time. It been a week since she came here.”
“yea, I know. But don’t forget she was and is injured when she come here.”
“that a good point, she we get her up, or wait.”
“I’ll get her up, you change this room around, so it better fitted for interrogation, but a softer version then want she went thought.”
“Olly don’t joke about that; she might not be able to deal with that”.
He ducked his head “sorry”.
“it ok, just be more careful with what you say with people with trauma”.
“understood” he said standing at attention. But quickly rushed off upstairs to Scylla room. She had been raising for the past day or so. After the attack, it had taken a lot out of her. He opens the door slightly.
“Scylla, we have guests coming, you need to get up.”
Scylla turned her head towards her noise but said nothing.
Olly move closer and sat on the bed beside her.
“Edwin needs to ask you some questions and tonight you can call your girls if you like.”
That got her to waken up more.
“really” her voice sound tried.
“yea, but first you need to get up, and answer a few questions.”
“ok”. Her voice sounding more awake know.
With that Olly help Scylla out of bed. Making sure he was carful with her knee and mid-section. Over the week of being in this house, she had recovered well. she was able to walk know, with a lot of help. But still there believed she wouldn’t at all.
With some effect Scylla got dressed out from her Pj’s and into more appropriate clothes. And with Olly help walked down to the leaving room. Where Nicta was still just chilling. Waiting for Edwin to arrive.
“sleepy head, your up.”
Scylla just smile and sit down beside Nicta. She let out a sigh of relief. She was grateful that she walks better, but still it took a lot out of her. Even with support.
It was about ten past the hour when Edwin walked in with William. Olly had given them both a drink on arrival. Nicta stayed quiet, be a little protect in how she stays close to Scylla. About Twenty minutes later after some small talk. Which she was thankful for Olly and Nicta take over the conversation.
“so” Edwin stated, her tone changed, she knows it was time to answer some hard question that not even Raelle or Libba know about.
“first of all, I know I already spoke with you a little when you first come here. But this is more in depth with your connection with the Spree. Or dear I say, modern spree. You need to be fully open with us. Even the hard parts.”
Scylla sit in front of them nervousness on how there will react.
“first of all, I slowly stopped believe in the cause thought the last two years. Once I joint the military, I found people within that healed me.”
“healed you” William asked.
Scylla lets out a shacky breath. “My parents were murdered. We had been hiding out west, we were found and there. dragged them out, as I watched. As there where ripped apart.”
She didn’t allow her tear to flow. But her vision it become burry. She took a deep breath before spoking again.
“Willa found me, only know looking back. Does it register her manipulation. She brought me into the spree. and for three years I killed, hunted and torture people I thought where I enemy.”
She watches as Edwin jot down notes. After only a moment of silence did, he finally looks up.
“ok, Did Willa ever mention her last name?”
“not once, if you like. I can saw you, her face. To see if it matches her same person you’re thinking of.”
“I would like to, but sadly I can’t. Your condition is still too unstable. But I believe you are talking about the same person. Know I why did you leave the spree.”
Scylla touched her hand, where she had traced the S. That she gave Libba and Raelle a few days before the wedding. a tear rolled down her face.
“I was angry for so long. For what the army did, there killed them. But Izadora my necromancy teacher. Know my parents, she helps me learn the truth. Behind there deaths. I stop being angry at the army but at the rouge witches that murdered them. And I stopped wanting to follow Willa. I wanted to follow Izadora.”
Again, Edwin jotted down some notes before asking other question.
“I need to know, what you did with the spree.”
“at first, I wasn’t allowed to leave the safe area. Of house. And I was taught the spree ways. After a few weeks of that. You are sent out, to set of a bomb. As a test.”
“test” William said.
“yea, if you back out, there got something over you. But if not, it shows you dedication to the cause. I know a few that was killed. Because the refused to kill over a thousand of people in one go. It wasn’t until I joined the army did, I realise how brutal the spree really was. My first steppingstone to leaving them outside Izadora.”
She moved a little her mid-section started to hurt more then normal. Olly noticed and grabbed a pill and a glass of water for her.
“take this, for the pain”.
With a small smile, Scylla took the pill and water. It didn’t help straight away but it was better then nothing. Civilian and their patience. She thought. Olly then moved away with an empty cup. And took his place on the armchair beside the Tv.
For the next hour she told them everything thing she did. From killing witches that wanted to leave or that was against them. To Civilians that was part of the government. She admits know, looking back. She was cleaning the way for the Spree to step up. Edwin corrected her, Camarilla he stated.
“I help the Camarilla, get a foot hold in our homeland”.
Nicta placed her arm around her.
“things happen for a reason, as a knower, Necro and sound. I would rather know my enemy face then not.”
“sound” Scylla said. The only word that come to her.
“is that all you got”.
“no, but that was the only real interesting thing”.
“Sound, there work with animals and devices. Decoding messages. But right now, focus on, righting the wrong. You think is on your shoulders. Help us stop them, for the witch hunt. That there are doing”.
She also talked about how she found out that. They’re wanted Raelle. It being one of the close “friends” with the spree. The only one that know about her connection with Raelle.
“want I know is, I heard that someone higher up. Wanted her, for some kind of experimental surgery. Not sure if that true but it made me scared. So, I took at assignment after not doing anything for mouths. Knowing what the Spree do too their own”.
She leans forward, “she gets hurt a lot. There beat almost weekly.”
Edwin moved forward and placed his hand on Scylla knee. Putting his notes down.
“she is safe. Well, she blames herself for her mother’s death. And the witches she couldn’t save. The beatings are her why to punishes herself. She is gifted in the fighting art. If you don’t believe me, then I just think. She taught you how to use farspeech.”
A little take a back with this new information Scylla just sat there.

“you are last, where have you been”.
Raelle and Libba both paused at Bells who called out to them.
Raelle quick called back, “getting fucked, what else”. Her tone wasn’t playful.
A few Cadets burst out laughing at her comment. He looked at them, there quickly quieted down.
“do you think our enemy will wait if you’re late. No. Their wouldn’t wait there will go ahead and attack.”
Raelle started walking toward him saying, “you think I don’t know that. You think I haven’t learnt that lesson already. I was late by one hour, in that hour most of them had died from there injures. I know, want it means to be late.”
“watch yourself, Cadet.”
“Cadet. You’re pushing a line Bells, that right know I am eager to cross”. The last bit coming out as a yell.
With a small grin. He gestured for her to bring it. She quickly removed her jacket allowing to drop to the floor as she walked to him. Everyone stopped, and slowly gathered around. Eager to see Raelle get her ass wiped. Her unit and Libba unit the only once a bit worried. Tally quickly picked up Raelle jacket wiping of some of the floor bust from the sleeves.
“you have gotten weak” Bells said his tone mocking.
She held her fits closed her anger, boiling under the surface.
“one change, to say you missed spoke. Or you will understand, why people don’t get me mad.”
“you allow yourself to be beaten almost daily. Your are week, your mother would be so disappointed in you.”
That was it, her final straw.
He didn’t see it coming. The first wind strike. Making him fly back into the Cadet that had gathered around. He quickly got into a defence up as the second strike hit him. Saving him from flying of this time. The Cadet that could move had. The other just prayed.
Luckly Abigail and Libba jumped into action, putting a defence up. Saving the Cadet from Raelle second attack.
Raelle didn’t move. After sending the second attack. She waited where she stood. She rolled her shoulder.
“know who weak.” She spoke her voice cutting the silence.
Bells straighten up and step forward. “it still you”.
She changed at him, going in for a punch, quickly turning into a block as Bells tried to attack. Then ducking out of his other fit and punching him right in the gut. She then took a half step back before giving him an upper cut. Sending him to the ground. He couldn’t help but think, how impressed he was and how wrong he had been.
He had learnt from Abigail and Tally that Raelle wasn’t doing well. That there was a group of Private that kept beaten her. So, to know there where wrong was heavenly. She walked beside him and placed her foot on his neck. Which surprised him. He could see the hurt and anger in her eyes.
“I was wrong, I misspoke” Bells said though greeted teeth.
“you are a good teacher but speak of my mother in such a tone again. Or push me to my breaking point. I will take your head.”
*****
For a long time, she didn’t move. It wasn’t until Libba walked over to her and pulled her of Bells neck. Allowing him to breath normally again.
Everyone just stood shocked. Not really sure what to say or do. That when Bells rolled over to him front and pushed himself up. Before looking at everyone. His lip was bleeding but other then that looked fine.
“everyone who injured report to medical. Everyone else pair up and tell me show you. How she pulled that of.”
The Cadet quickly followed his order. Thinking it was just a practice gone a little wrong. With two Cadet having to go to medical. The other just a little shaken but overall not injured.
“I really did that” Raelle whispered to Libba.
“yea, you did it, tonight you are so, showing me. That side of you again”.
Raelle looks at her. “you’re not scared of my anger”.
“it part of you, why should I, I didn’t anger you, he did. And from my point of view, he needs his but whipped.”
With a small chuckle she kissed her hard, one hand on her face other around her neck. Her hand slowly moves down her to her jacket pulling her close. Only with Abigail saying, “get a room, shitbird”.
Did there stop. Leaving Libba buzzed and breathless. With a goofy grin across her face.
Tally bounce over to them and hand Raelle her jacket. “remind me to get you anger like that”.
Raelle looked at her hands.
“I have idea, if you game”. Abigail said nervously.
Libba step close, “what the game, bedwetter.” Finally finding her voice again.
“call you unit over and then say, peanut”.
Libba looked around and once finding her unit mates called them over.
“it looks like, bedwetter had an idea”.
She looked around at them all. “Well, it looks like Raelle need to let of more steam. All of us, vs her. We know now she can fight, first hand might I say.”
Everyone gathers around missing out Raelle, who had started pacing around. still overwhelmed form her shiner mark being removed. Just an hour ago. Her emotion still unstable, but Lt. Grey. Saying by morning she will be back to her old self.
Toot made the first move. “Raelle, twinkle toes, we game. Come get some”.
Raelle looks up at her unit and her girlfriend unit, surrounding her. She quickly looked over at Bells who gave her a little nod. As in go right ahead. With a smirk, she ready herself. This was going to one hell of a fight.
