Chapter Fourteen
CHAPTER FOURTEEN
Taylor Night
I never thought about how awkward it would be to return. I've been on cloud nine the whole day while Raeina sulked in a noticeable manner. She's clearly not happy with the Director's decision. But I ignore her, heading back to the vault to shower and change for dinner at the mess. Ferguson is waiting for me outside the vault.
He's no longer snide with me like he used to be once.
However, as we head to the exit of the tunnels, I begin to feel nervous.
It's been months now. The entire camp knows that I am some kind of monster. How will they react?
I've always been one not to care about what anyone thinks of me but this is different. I know all eyes will be on me. I will face hostility. In my vault, my prison, no one was looking at me like I was some kind of freak. But outside?
My feet are dragging now and a part of me wants to return to my cell.
