Gretta is beating me up for no reason.
If only I could use my abilities.
She stops suddenly, leaving me to focus on the stabbing pains in my back, ribs and head.
Thank goodness.
The relief only lasts for a couple of second though because soon, she starts dragging me along the floor, laughing. Where are we going?
I hear footsteps, running. The sound gets closer, and I open my eyes to see a blur of platinum blonde hair, It's Liv. She's trying to stop Gretta.
Gretta screams as Liv jumps on her back and tries to pull at her hair. She eventually manages to pry Liv off her, as if she was flicking a tiny insect off her shoulder.
Gretta grabs Liv by her hair, she cries out in pain as her head is slammed into a wall. Liv passes out and I scream for her while Gretta walks back to me, kicking my head against the wall.
"Tiny maggot." She spits, before throwing me into my cell, I feel lightheaded, trying to stay conscious, but I fail and let myself slip into darkness.
********
I wake up and realize it's sunset. It was just morning...Oh, right I got beat up.
I try to move but feel an intense pain all around my body. I manage to crawl to the prison bars even though it feels like a giant nail is being hammered into my skull.
After an attempt at the iron bars, I realize they are locked.
Gretta trapped me in here! I'll miss dinner!
Sighing, I feel my stomach growl and examine my body noticing purple and yellow bruises all over my pale skin.
Great.
I hope Liv is okay, she did a really risky thing trying to save me today. She could get killed for that.
Hours pass there is still no sign of Liv and I'm getting worried. Soon, Ava walks by my cell, I use this opportunity to grab her attention by tugging at her grey trousers.
"Ava!"
"Eris?" she asks peeking into my cell, "You're alive! I saw Gretta beating you up and assumed the worst."
"N..no, I'm fine." I assure her, "Have you seen Liv? Is she okay?"
"She's alive." Ava looks away, as if checking for something, "But I wouldn't say she's okay. Gretta beat her up pretty bad." She whispers.
Oh no, poor Liv. At least she's alive.
"Oh good, I was worried." I say. She tries to open my cell.
"Don't bother." I tell Ava and she gives me a confused look, "Gretta locked it."
"Oh." She frowns.
"Hey you!" A guard calls out, making the two of us turn towards him, "STOP CHATTING OVER THERE AND GET INTO YOUR CELL!!!"
With a small sigh, Ava waves, "Bye Eris." Is the last thing she says to me before walking back to her cell.
{DREAM }
A young girl is staring out the window watching a gruesome scene unfold.
"Mommy, what are the evil men doing to those people?" She asks pointing at the window.A woman quickly closes the curtains,panicked.
"Nothing to worry about dear. Come with me. We need to hide." She says in a frantic voice.
"Why?" The young girl asks, tilting her small head to the side like a confused little puppy.
"I..If we don't the bad people will take us."
"I'll stop them for you!!!" The girl exclaims, throwing a fist in the air.
"No!" The woman raises her voice, "No my love, it's way too dangerous."
"But I like being dangerous." The little girl pouts and crosses her arms making the mother frown.
"I don't think you do my dear. You don't understand."
