After champion

June

I get thrown into the jail cell.
"I'm so sorry" are day's last words. I almost let a tear fall but i hold it in.
I am thrown in the cell. I hit my head and shoulder hard against the floor and wall. It feels so lonely to be in here. There's nothing to do. There is no on to talk to. I get a huge headache for a little bit. It feels like my brain is about to fall out. I out my head in between my knees and wait for my head to stop pounding. It hurts so much it is unbearable. How could day live like this for the longest time. I feel a tear come out of me. Me crying from pain. I can't believe i really am. Or is it that i don't even know what might happen to anybody. I don't know what will happen to day or to tess to eden or to nat. This was a stupid plan to begin with.

I dig my head further in my knees and begin to massage my temples. It does not help at all but then something happens.
"Here i think you might need this." I hear a rattle from pills in a bottle being rolled over to me. I look at the label and it says to relieve head aches. I take out the recommended amount and wait. I don't even know how much time has passed. This head ache is interfering with my time skills.

Then all of a sudden the pain is gone. I don't feel the thump of my brain in my head. I feel relief. I close my eyes and try to see if this is real. I open them to find myself stuck in the same cell and the pill bottles in my hand. I loom at the other cell which has a girl facing the cell wall.

"Hey thanks. Where did you get these?" I say in a whisper.
"I got them while they were trying to take me away. Apparently i was like bait to my best friend. i grabbed whatever i could but while they were taking me away they took someone i love with me also."

I start to get suspicious. It sounds so much like tess. They took her away. Such a coincidence that she had a bottle of pills on her. And they took her love away. Wait so if this really is tess does that mean that she really does have feelings for eden.
I smile at the thought of all this. Having a friend right next to me would be convenient especially someone who is like my sister.
"Say are you from the republic?" I say in a whisper.
"Yeah i am." I grin at the moment. But just to be sure i speak with this.
"Do you know anything about the prodigy or the ex criminal day i think."

"Hah. Know anything about them. They're my family" i know immediately who it is.
"Tess?" I say almost in my normal voice.
"Hmm yeah"she acts so casual about it.
"do you know who i am?" I say
tess looks me up and down.

I don't think she really knows who i am. I think i did a pretty good job in disguising myself after all.
After what seems like three minutes she opens her eyes wide and almost screams my name
"June! i can't believe it's you i"
"Shhh be quiet. We're gonna try to get you out of here okay?" tess nods and she looks so excited. She looks almost like the kid i met when i was fifteen. She was so young before.
"Okay here's the plan it won't be easy but it just might work" i explain everything to here and she nods and listens carefully.
"Okay got it. "
"Hey where's eden"
Tess turns and points and smiles.
I smile and try to hug her through the bars. It doesn't work so we just sit against the cell wall and talk a little.
