Tying Loose Ends

Chapter 2

I woke up with intense pain throughout my body, I tried to sit up but I couldn't, I had a nasty pounding in my head that caused me to black out again.

The second time I woke up I stayed awake, It was a small room, made of wood, I was in just my underwear and felt embarrased. Where was I?

And then it completely hit me.... where was Gabe? Was he still alive? I panicked and tried to stand up, I put one leg out of the bed and tried to stand, but it seemed like all the strenght I had was gone. I fell, my hands clutching the sheets trying not to fall on my head. I heard footsteps coming, and completely froze. 

"Oh my, young man, what happened?" Said a middle aged man with a large Birthmark on his face, he helped me up and tucked me. "Tried to stand, did ye?" He smiled, "My name is Mentor, I volunteered to give you this room for you to stay" I looked at him and opened my mouth to speak, my voice was croacky and barely audible, "Thank you" I mouthed. I knew he understood because he took my hand and smiled at me.

It took me days to finally stand, but after what felt months I was almost as new. My skin was pale and dry, my hair was long, my face pale and bony, I was as skinny as I could be and my whole look set off a really creepy mood.

I finally saw Gabe after a few weeks, he was doing well, at least better than me. He recognized me from the moment he saw me, and cried so hard when I left. I wanted to stay, but first I needed to talk to Mentor.

I needed to know what happened, how I ended up here and what was this place.

I was scared, but I needed to be brave, at least for Gabe, since as soon as he was well, we were leaving. I still had something to do.
