Chapter 30 AURORA Violence .

I wanted , with all my heart , all my soul , all my body , to do something violent to Esther Reed .

Never in my life had I experienced such a blind rage .

I held on to that anger , because if I didnt , I would fall to the ground and cry .

Why ? I asked .

My fists were clenched so tightly my arms trembled .

Why are you doing this ? Why wont you just let me go ? Esther looked confused .

You were getting too close to the enemy .

Too close ? I nearly shrieked .

Who you serve .

What your purpose is .
