Yeah... I know I've been putting this off. Life hasn't been realistic lately, and it's throwing me all over the place. Here's the long waited chapter :) Maybe put it back on the ranked list? Votes and comments are appreciated greatly as always.

"The rebels!" I immediately answer.

 Diana's lips purse, "I thought you would have known by now, Hayden." 

"Why would you save me if I'm just going to be killed here," I mutter bitterly.

"Everything will be clear soon enough," she gives me a sickening smile, "I'm sure someone will save you again."

Diana gives me one last look and stands up to leave, "I expect you to be on your best behavior for President Byson."

"No! Don't leave me!" I rattle my prison's bars, but she doesn't look back when she exits the room.

My next visitor is Craig who is holding electrified hand cuffs. His face is dirty and a fresh bruise colors his cheeks.

"Get out," he orders as he unlocks my cage.

I shoot out and grab his neck.

"I will kill you right now," I growl, "Get me out of here!"

Craig's hand moves toward mine and he clips the hand cuffs to my wrist. With one press of a button attached, I fall to the ground. He slams his hand on the button again and a stronger electrical current leaves me panting. 

"Don't you ever try something like that again," he attaches the other hand cuff and lifts me up to his face, "Do you understand me, Hayden?" 

I don't answer, which makes him angrier, "Do you understand me!"

Craig gives the button another forceful smack, "Not in front of President Byson! He won't tolerate this like me!"

"Yes," I croak, exhausted from the electrocuting.

He drags me out of the room and I make no effort to stand. Craig zaps me again; I don't react; one more; no reaction; a hard kick to the knee caps; I stand up. 

Craig stops at a grand, white door.

"Be careful what you say, Hayden. This is our honorable president Byson, after all," his mouth is moving, but it feels like the bruise is doing the talking.

Craig opens the door and pulls me with him. We're in a huge hall adorned with statues of black horses. The first thing you notice is the whiff of something delicious. My mouth waters, but I immediately feel like vomiting when I see President Byson.
