The Rebel and the Runaway

Punishment | Easton

I was about to jump. I didn't deserve to live. I didn't want to live without my sunrise. I closed my eyes.

Then I hear her, she calling my name. She talks to me. She loves me.

No she doesn't. She hates me.

I grab her hand and pull her on to the roof. I look her dead in her green eyes.

"Why the hell are you here?" I cross my arms.

"I-I don't know, I just thought..."

"Thought what? Though I would come crawling back to you?" I glare at her.

She shakes her head. "What is wrong with you East?" I look at her.

"You shouldn't be here Ken. They will find you."

"I thought you could take me in. Hide me. Just for a little while." I feel my self melt. I pull her into a hug and swallow, being to cry.

"I am so sorry Ken. You know I had to. It's my mission. I am so so sorry..." I continued to ramble on. She tilts her head up and kisses me hard on the lip. I kiss her back.

"I see we have a trader on our hands, fellas." Alexandria says in a snarky tone. I pull away from Kenneth and freeze.

"And you know what we have to do to traders and their girlfriend." She smirks at Kenneth. I step in front of Kenneth.

"You won't touch her. I will come with you if you promise to let her go without a punishment."

Ella grabs Kenneth's arm pulling her towards them and the boys grab my arms and tie me up. Kenneth looks at me and I keep my eyes locked to hers.

They help us get back inside and take us down the stairs and out the door. We are marched down to my basement. I felt chills run down my spine.

I knew my parent had torture tools down here to torture prisoners of the rebels. Alexandria led us to a room with an electric chair.

She shut the door behind us. The boys untie my arms and I punched them both and make a run for the door.

" I don't think so..." I heard the click of a gun being loaded. I turned around slowly with my hands up. But Ella wasn't pointing the gun at me.

She had the gun resting on the temple of Kenneth's head. Kenneth's face was tear stained.

"If you don't want a dead girlfriend... I would do as your told. Now sit." She says in a stern tone.

I slowly made my way over to the electrocution chair and took a seat. They strapped the restraints around my arms and legs.

"Now move that gun from Kenneth's head. Or you will be dead before sunset." I said though gritted teeth.

"No." Ella smirked.

"You will do as your told and then maybe I will feel generous to let her go. But for now she will say right here. The gun to her head." She pushed the gun harder against Kenneth head and I heard a wimper from Kenneth.

Please someone save us.
