Chapter 19

Lost Hope

They made their way down to the holding cells where the corridor was long and cold. It was almost like a deep underground basement. The lights were dim, buzzing with just enough electricity to keep them going. Violet was silent the whole walk down, Jen too.

“What do you think she’ll say?” Jen asked, breaking the silence just before they entered.

“Well, she made a deal with us, so if she wants us to keep our end of the deal, she needs to help out any way possible, whether she likes it or not.”

Jennifer combed her fingers through her long locks. “She’s one of the ones that killed all those people. Don’t you hate her even a little bit?”

A warm relief washed over Violet as she felt Jennifer struggle with her own thoughts of Elric and the other Titans. The loss of life and inability to save those lives … All of it was heavy on Violet, and it was the same for Terra and Eden.

“Hate’s a strong word,” Violet finally replied. “I think the reason we’re in this situation is because of hate, right?”

Jen nodded.

They came to the holding cell, which was guarded by an entire squad of soldiers. Men specifically trained to combat Titans by the amount of equipment they carried and how well-armored they were. They wouldn’t stand a chance, but Violet guessed it gave them confidence.

“What do you guys want?” one of the guards asked.

Jennifer chuckled to herself. Violet could feel she was brimming with confidence again. “Look, Samantha gave us permission to talk with her. Let us in, or you guys will wake up tomorrow with a slight headache.”

The men angrily moved aside, letting them into the chambers. Rai lay on the bed with her back turned. “I’m guessing you’re here to finish that conversation then?”

“Well, we wanted to get a little more information,” Violet responded.

Rai turned over with eyes red from crying. She used the pillowcase to wipe the remaining tears. “Violet, right?”

Violet nodded, trying to read the girl’s emotions and make sure this wasn’t a trap. Rai was easily around their age, slender, petite, a girl the guys would go crazy over if she weren’t trying to kill them. She had a promiscuous attitude about her, too, and there was an underlying caution about her that made Violet wonder what her life as a Titan was like.

“I’m guessing you want to know what happened between Elric and me or maybe how you can get to him on the island.”

Violet gave her a smile but didn’t let down her guard for a second. “Yes, exactly.”

Rai looked up at Jennifer. “What was he like before he became like he is now? If you don’t mind me asking.”

“I asked you a question first,” Violet demanded.

“No, actually, I asked you the question of what you wanted to know.” Rai sat up on the bed. “Please tell me. What was Elric like?”

Jen gave a half-smile. “He was shy, skinny, your average comic book geek. He didn’t have the best of things growing up, but he always found a way to be happy.
