Blood

12.

This girl instantly comes across as someone like Natalie.

"You're new. I get it." She says,"I'm Cara and all I want to say is-Cole. Is. Mine."

"Cole?"

She rolls her eyes,"The guy you were talking to." Then she adds,"The guy who brought you here."

So the nameless boy had a name.

Cole.
Cole.

"So you and Cole are...er...?" I trailed off, not knowing how they defined relationships on the Outside.

"No, Cole and I aren't together. I'm just saying he's mine." She warns.

I grimace.

Psycho.

"Oh." I say."So he doesn't know that you...like him?"

"No," she snorts,"he doesn't know that I love him."

Whoa.

Love.

I nod and force her a smile."He's all yours."

"Good." She eyes me suspiciously and I observe her.

She had a firm face and luscious blonde curls that reached her shoulders with round blue eyes.

"What's your name?" She asks.

Abrupt.

"Lisa."

"How is life on the Inside?"

"The Inside?"

"Inside your safety bubble."

"You mean the force field."

"Whatever."

I shrug,"To be brutally honest-it's horrible."

"How's life here?" I ask.

"Hard."

We are silent and I can hear the hearth crackle.

"I have to go." She says."Say hi to Cole for me."

Cole reappears by my side in a few minutes.

"Come." He says."The Commander awaits you."
