Worse. Worse. Getting worse. I look up at the guards when I hear the ding of the elevator. "Ding!" I mimic. "Footsteps, footsteps, could it be? Has Kenzie come back for me?" I see her pear around the guards, and stand right in the opening. "See what I did there, sweetie?"
She doesn't move. Just stands there. We stare at each other for a few seconds, until she finally speaks up. "Yes, I get it. Do you have my necklace?"
I grab the dream catcher that rests on my neck. "My necklace. Mine. Mine. Mine."
"Ok, ok. Your necklace."
"Nothing more will be taken from me!" I shout. I'm standing right in front of her now. I don't remember doing that.
"I don't want it, Newt. It's yours, ok?"
"Tick, tock," I grin at her.
"What?"
"Tick, tock."
"What the shuck, Newt..."
"Tick, tock. Time is running out. Tick, tock goes my clock."
She steps away from me. "Um, ok?"
"Yes, leave! Leave like you always do!"
She looks hurt. Good. "I- I don't always leave you. Why would you say that?"
"Bloody liar!"
"I'm here now, aren't I?" She raises her voice slightly.
I just stare at her. So...pretty... I reach out to touch her face. Stupid wall! I puch it, but it's still in the way. I grit my teeth, and glare at her.
"Ok, well, I guess I'll see you later..."
"No!" She turns to leave anyway. "No, no, no!" I pound on the wall. I slide down on my knees, and wait for the ding of the elevator.
Kill me...
