Mary's P.O.V.

"Mary darling. You okay?" A voice called out I felt a wet washcloth on my forehead as I began to come back around.

I opened my eyes slightly as Freddie's face came into view.

"Freddie?" I began to lift my head.

"Hey love take it easy you were knocked out somehow" He placed his hand on my cheek.

Then there was a knock at the door and a head poked in the entryway revealing a woman.

"Oh good you both are up"The woman smiled as she entered the room.

"What do you want?" Freddie hissed.

"Easy Fred, I'm unarmed, not under any influences and to prove it to you I'm wearing Moldavite and the evil eye they can't do shit to me" The woman pulled out two pendants that were attached to a cord as she shut the door behind her

"I trust her Freddie she isn't one of them" I slowly sat up

"She's right it's a two-way street. I'm Sandra by the way".

"Fine if you trust her dear then so do I".

"How are you guys feeling?".

"I'm alright but she came to right before you knocked".

"Okay. Do you need anything, Mary?".

"No, thank you I'm alright".

"Okay, the reason why I'm here is I brought a medical bag and some other things to in here while you both were out cold".

"Where is it?".

"It's under the bed go ahead and get it out I want to show you something".

So Freddie slid out a bag out from under the bed and opened it.

"What's all of this? There's Ginger, Turmeric, Rosemary, Peppermint, and Clove but what the hell is Fever Flower and Devil's Claw?".

"This is for you Fred and those are pain relievers".

"Pain killers?".

"I don't know what the world does to you so this is what I came up with-" Sandra paused. "They're coming I'm going to hide in the bathroom".

Then as Sandra was out of site two guards entered the cabin.

"You there get up you're coming with us" The guard on the left braked.

"Okay, I'm coming".

"Freddie please don't go".

He hung his head. "I have to go darling everything will be okay".

The guard on the left walked over and placed a pair of handcuffs on him.

"Freddie?".

Freddie looked over at me and bent down to kiss me before exiting the cabin with the guards. Shortly after that Sandra, reappeared from the bathroom.

"He'll be fine Freddie is a strong man for what he's been through. But, in the meantime pull that bag out I'd like to show you something".

"Aright".

So I did just that and handed the bag to her.

"Thanks, so when the time comes which I hope is soon....." Sandra pulled a vial of a clear liquid. " Take this sedative before you rescue Freddie at any point but I heard that the elders want to do mental torture on the boys so I think that might be the time to do so".

"Okay, good idea".

"So, Is there anything else?".

"I can't think of anything but I'll let you know if I do".

"Alright then well I better get going".

"See you later I guess".

And so with that, she left me alone in the cabin for what seemed like an eternity when the door flew wide open.

The guards throw Freddie into the room and stumbles but catches himself from falling. He was beaten pretty badly and looked very weak, with whip lashes on his back that were still bleeding.

"Do we have a plan to get out of here before they torture us more?".

"No not yet but let's get those wounds cleaned up."

I had him lie down in the prone position and get the medical bag. I disinfect the wounds with vodka and sit him up then wrap bandages from around his shoulders down his torso.

"I don't feel so good think I need to rest".

He laid down on his side as I lay down in front of him spooning, Before I knew it he was slightly snoring and sound asleep, which was good because he needed it. After a few hours, Freddie began uttering something in his half-conscious state of sleep.

I turned to face him and to hear him say.

"No, no, no please leave me alone".

He screamed and sat up abruptly which tore his wounds open and caused them to reopen and inflict pain.

"Bloody hell, I think wounds just opened".

"Alright let me take a look" I sat up and lifted one of the bandages slightly to see blood trickling out onto the thick cotton pad. "I think you're good the bandages are pretty thick".

"I shouldn't have done that".

"I know but, let's get some painkillers" I got out of bed and pulled out the medical bag then I rummaged through it until I felt a bottle. I pulled it out to reveal a bottle of turmeric and began to read the properties and instructions. "This seems like that'll do the trick".

"What will turmeric do for me?".

"The bottle says turmeric reduces information so, this will help your back".

"Let's see about that".

"I think you might like it the bottle also says it is one of the main components of curry powder".

"I know".

I poured a small amount onto a teaspoon and said. "Open up".

"Alright hand it over dear".

1 handed Freddie the spoon and witnessed a look of disgust as he swallowed the spoonful of the spice.

"You didn't like it, don't you".

"No- (cough, cough, cough)-no, no, do not Jesus Christ, that's awful".

"The smell was not pleasant either".

"You think" Freddie coughed as he handed me the spoon I put the bottle of turmeric back in the bag before I took the spoon into the bathroom and put it in the sink to to wash it off later.

Once I returned the door opened and in two guards, one female and one male.

"You're coming with us Mr. Murcery" The female guard walks over to him and smiles as she gently helps him out of bed looks him in the eyes and puts him in a small trance.

She next puts handcuffs on him and walks him out of the room before I can get his attention and say anything and about five minutes later there was a knock at the door as Sandra opened it.

"Hey, How are you holding up?".

'I'm doing okay although better than I expected to be honest. Do you have a timeline on when we will get out of here?".

"Yes, we'll be leaving in only seven hours. Oh by the way we snapped Dean and the other boys out of that trance".

"Trance?".

"Yeah while you girls were knocked out the boys were taken into the dining hall where that had the trance placed on them".

"No".

"Yes".
