Nai

Jensen Thew something down the trash shoot. Instantly I felt horrified... it must of been another Nymph... but we always call the Detective's for deaths.

I stayed strapped in that bed for days, I mean actual days. I could hear the nurses go through the routine of giving the patients their meds. Though, I could never tell if Lani was one of them.

I knew this routine all too well, even I still had to give medications sometimes. Twice a day; at sunrise, and then again at sunset.  Well, I herd that routine about 12 times... and not once was my door opened. 

No one fed me, checked on me... left me to sit in this bed and rot. I had to pee so bad if I had to wait another hour, this bed would be soaking wet.

Thanks when I heard the door unlock, and for the first time in days I seen the bright hallway lights. The silhouette of Thea stood in the door.

Thankfully she's listened to the gods about staying in Azlynn. I could sense the naiad within her, but I could also sense the anger that boiled in her pure red naiad blood.

"I hope you feel like shit," Thea growled stepping inside of my room.

"I do," I sighed barely able to utter a single word.

"Look Nai," She said moving closer to the bed and peering down at my strapped down body," I'm not here to give you freedom... so I hope that's not a let down. Jensen told Lani Zeus had great plans for you, and she fed into it. So, no ones searching... if that's what you were hoping for."

"Huh?"

She grabbed a pudding cup from her woven bag, and began to spoon feed me. Next, she grabbed a pack of fruit snacks, added one gummy vitamin, then fed them them two at a time.

Wow... what a great meal.

"You got Kenai killed, and I haven't been able to see my Fiancé in days... Zeus may have dug you a hole... but I'm gonna bury you in it," She warned then walked back outside.

Jensen was the next to step inside, he was holding a clear cup with two blue capsules... some medicine I've never seen before. Capsules never were seen as a good image, so Nymphs have had to figure out many different ways to reinvent.

I tried to clench my teeth together, but Jensen shoved the two pills down my throat anyway. My eyes began to feel heavy, and they burned as if I stayed up all night. I tried to keep them open, but I couldn't.... I couldn't help but just.... fall.....asleep.

I woke up to Jensen pulling me by my feet within the mortal world. He pulled me through the same forest we discovered Mystic's clan...but a different area.

My hands were tied with twine, my ankles had also been tied, and my mouth had been taped. Dark tree trunks, shadows, and clumps of bushes surrounded me and the father we got the grass became wetter. My hands slipped against dewy leaves, sticky mushrooms, and mossy stones.

I tasted the sweat on my lips, and smelt rotting leaves in the air. Jensen threw my body down, then sighed taking a quick break. I heard him opening a wrapper, crunch on a potato chip. I could smell the salt and grease fuming from his mouth. Then he slammed the bag down.

*Crash*

I guess he noticed I had been awake, because two minutes later I had his finger in my mouth shoving more capsules in my mouth. I didn't fight it this time, I just closed my eyes and fell asleep remembering the soft glow of the moon.
