The Chiaroscuro: Chapter 7

Alex's POV

How could this happen?

My friends, the ones I had known for years, had done this. Slaughtered a member of the Center of Light, and injured all of us. What had I missed since leaving the group?

I wasn't as injured as most, since my friends didn't want to kill me. But I saw some pretty bad stuff... Alyssa had a knife in her leg, Gary was in a come from being head bashed, and Luna had bones jutting out of her arm, and three broken ribs.

So basically, we'd been hit pretty bad.

We had to move to Camp for safety, but that didn't seem possible at the moment. Too many injuries, and we were running out of ambrosia.

Sarah, Evan, And Josh had set up a medical tent for the extremely injured. I hadn't been in yet, because a couple minutes ago I was out cold. I'm not sure what happened...

I burst into the large tent to have something completely unexpected happen. Actually three things. And guess what the first thing was?

Macky Arnolds laying dead on the floor.

A group of people were surrounding her, so I pushed through to see Demetra crying. I pool of blood held Macky's body, and multiple stab wounds were in her stomach. I held back tears.

"I'll kill whoever did this!" Demetra screamed. Evan slowly walked up to her and said, "Vega will pay too, for killing my half sister, Beatrix."

I quickly made a list in my head of the conditions of people. Josh, Sarah, Mikmak, Evan, Demetra, and I were all somewhat ok. Alyssa, Gary, Kat, and Luna were injured pretty badly. Of course Lilac, the goddess, was fine. Macky and Beatrix were dead...

That was everyone.

Just as I calmed down, the second thing happened.

A girl's scream echoed in the distance.
