At The Darkest
Rose and Alana share a special bond...until Darkness misconstrues everything for them.
"I will never give up who helped me!" I slurred. What was wrong with my words? Why could i not speak correctly? Was it because i could feel my the life leaving me? No,i was stronger than that. He gave a chuckle. "The hard way it is Rose." The hard way? THE HARD WAY? Given what i have already gone through,this WAS the hard way. "Rose,you are a prisoner for a reason. You broke code,you gave away much too important of intel. High treason if you ask me. Then you escape,with help. Now you will not tell us who helped you? If this was _ *MY * choice,Ms.Youngblood,you would be long dead." I shook my head. _But it's not and you have no victory. This will be my victory. Before i knew it i had been pulled up by the ropes that bound my hands,soon after falling right to my knees. I did not have strength enough to stand. "Get Up." He growls,pulling me onward behind him until i stand. Soon,my light begins to peer through my swollen eyes and i smell the outside. Where had i been locked up? In a cage? A basement? A shed? I did not know. I could hear the roar of people in a distance. "Where are you taking me? I whimpered at him this question. "Shut up prisoner." He snarled at me as i felt a hand come across my face and knock my once not so frail body to the ground. "Now,get back up,and shut up,or i will make you."
The roar of the crowd got much louder now,they seemed to be excited,but for what? Soon i feel two or three sets of hands on me,one tying mine to something round. I feel it with my fingertips...it feels like a wooden pole. "Now everyone. This is watch and learn. This is how we punish prisoners who try to escape with an accomplice and do not talk." I can tell the sick excitement in his voice...
I wait patiently for the first heavy object,punch or kick. A shivering pain goes down my spine when i soon realize he is whipping me. I try to move at every angle i can to get away,but my body was weak. I cry out in pain as they laugh,and scream with joy at my suffering. I scream again,feeling the slimey blood dripping down my back and legs,seeping through my thin dress. But then,from a distance i heard her. I hear a faint voice calling out to me. It was Alana. Wonderful! Now i could tell her thank you,and how much i love her. How great she was. Suddenly,i feel her sweet arms around me. She is crying,and speaking to me in that soft,sweet voice i always loved._ Home,I'm finally home. I love you Alana, I try to tell her,but i can not make a sound. These are my final thoughts as darkness envelopes me._
