The Surprise (Book 2)

~Amelia~

A feast was being prepared in the Kitchen, and I wondered who the food was for.

I began to suspect Leo was planning and hiding something, but I wouldn’t push it.

I planned to let it rest, trusting he would inform me when the time came. After making sure the food was good. I decided to write down the names of the people cooking in the Kitchen.

I entrusted that on no account should they change, and other than them, no one else should be allowed near the food.

They were also required to serve it when it was time and guard the food with their lives. It was important.

With all the attacks and talks of cult people and informants or helpers, whatever Andrew calls them, flying around, I did not want to be caught unaware.

I have never trusted anyone in my life, and I wouldn’t start doing so now. Leo was laid back on what he put in his mouth, but that was one of the most important things to be careful about. Had Susan not run away, we would have handled this cooking.

I was mad at her for bolting, but I knew there were people like that. Some people cannot face their problems. They just run.

I guess it is because she has somewhere to run to, and no one is out to get her.

If she were in my shoes, she would have had no choice but to stay.

I had nothing to my name and no one to go to. I would rather spend that energy proving I was innocent than leaving and exposing myself to the harsh world.
