Amelia's POV It had not been so long since I slept before I started hearing voices in my sleep. Seriously, who was disturbing my sleep? I almost cussed out. I tried to block out the voices but they didn't seem to be going away. Like that wasn't enough, I started hearing footsteps as well and I opened my eyes in anger. I looked around and realized where I was. I looked around in the direction of the footsteps and saw the back of a person. A male to be precise. And I know this much. That would be William, so I tried to call out to him. "Wi- William?", I stammered. I haven't gotten used to calling his name out loud, moreover to him. He stopped in his tracks and turned to look at me with a frown. "I see you are awake", he said, still frowning. I went silent for a while before I talked as calmly as I could. "I have to talk to you," I said and I could see that he was quite taken aback. He stared at me for a while before walking towards me. Now, I am surprised. I composed mys

Amelia's POV When he told me he wanted me to get Bob for him, I felt so down. How would I expose a person from the trio squad? We are there to protect ourselves from the people outside not to rat each other out. What if somebody finds out that I was the one who had made Bob's location to be known? It would be really hard and uncomfortable for me to live in a trio squad. I had tried to reject the idea, I mean why would I tell him where Bob is? Well, not until he had asked about me being at the organization. I was dumbfounded. My parents and brother. That's why I was there. He even offered to help me with finding them. I thought about what Joanna said about asking him for help. This is not even asking him for help, he is offering to. Well, he is asking for something in return as well; Bob's location. I thought about it for a while before raising my head to look at him. I have to find the person who murdered my parents. I have to. It's the reason why I have been alive all these yea

Amelia's POV I walked the remaining path to the trio squad from where the cab had dropped me quickly. Now that I think about it, why did I leave that place quickly? I saw William trying to say something but does it even matter? I sighed as I kept on walking and my mind played all that had happened this afternoon. I got to my tent and I met Joanna already waiting for me. "Hey-", she had not even let me finish before she pulled me and rushed me into my tent. "Tell me how it went!", she shouted anxiously with wide sparkly eyes immediately after we sat down. I placed my purse down and sighed. I picked up my black rubber band and used it to pack my hair into a ponytail. I looked back at Joanna and she was frowning, I laughed and she hit me playfully on the arm. "Just tell me already! Please?", she said with puppy eyes and I snorted at her words. She frowned again and I quickly raised my arms. "Okay, okay, give me a second", I said and she sighed. "I did not go to see him-"

WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON... Amelia's POV I went out of my tent and sighed as I got out. I need to get a job. I am dressed in a tank top and black jean trousers with my black Snickers. I need some air first though. I walked down the road, away from the trio squad. I sat down on a bench and watched the kids playing in the park just beside the road to the main city. I used to do this as well when I was young, together with my parents and brother on Sunday afternoons. I do not want to think about all these right now. I stood up with my hands in my pocket and went into the small grocery store just beside the road to the trio squad. I got out with a small bottle of coke in my hand and I sipped as I walked. A black Mazda car stopped in front of me and I stopped moving abruptly. A man got out of the driver's side and I became confused. Where have I seen this man before? "Thank goodness you are out here, I can't go in there", he said with a groan as he pointed in a direction. I traced h

Amelia's POV I sat down there, on the floor, and thought about it. What harm could come out of me living with him? Nothing, right? I stood up and decided. I have to tell Joanna at least. I mean if I have to live here, someone has to know, right? And when I am done and I have found my family's murderer and put him behind bars, I can just leave this place and continue with my life. I walked towards the door slowly. Even though I am still confused and slightly annoyed about what William had done this evening, I still have to talk to him. I walked quickly and without any reason, pushed the door open. I was faced with a well-toned chest and my mouth went wide. I looked up and I saw his wet hair dripping, he was staring at me with a towel in his hand, which he, I assume used to dry the right side of his head before I barged in stupidly. I looked back down unwillingly. His body was bare up to that 'v' part. Looking down further would be... I looked up quickly and said. "I- I have
