"Open the gates didn't you hear me the first time? Fucking bastards"

A loud voice echo's throughout the building, along with the buzzing from the gate button.

I adjust my eyes to the light and see a familiar guard enter the room. He comes to the fence barrier around my cell. He opens the fence and walks up to my metal bars, standing in front of  it... close enough for me to stick my hands through and strangle him if I wanted to

Then again

he's the only guard i can tolerate. The guard who knelt down in front of me while I was un handcuffed sitting in that chair yesterday. If only I hadn't totally destroyed his confidence in that moment. A sense of guilt washes
over me

"Good morning"
A small smile comes across his face

"How's your legs?"

"A little sore, as you can imagine"
A smile tugs at his lips

"Do you need something?"
I raise my eyebrows

"I'm not supposed to be over here, I'm two hours early"
He sighs leaning his head back

I stand up from the ground and slowly walk over to the bars of my cell, wrapping my hands around two of them

"You didn't answer my question"

His eyes search my face, as if he's trying to read what's on my mind

"I just wanted to check up on you, that's all"

"Check up on the woman who killed your mates?"
I laugh
"Not so smart

"That's correct"
He says

My smile fades at his confusing statement

He walks even closer to the bars, that he's practically making full body contact with

"Are you just going to stare at me?"

I'm bored. I need someone to talk to. But he's a guard...perhaps I can break through his rules he try's to keep

"Is that a problem?"
He raises his eyebrows

"Yes, but I mean you could let me out"
I look him up and down

"I'm not in charge to let you out"
His eyes almost look like they feel bad

"Come on I'm bored"
I grab on to the bar

"I can't fix that"

"Come on... come in here with me"
I say in a pleading innocent like voice, trying my best to make him break

His eyes scan my body, he swallows hard and forces himself to look away momentarily

"You put 14 of my soldiers in the hospital sweetheart. No ones gonna go in there with you"
he whispers with a smirk
