The door creaks open.

"I come bearing food, Prisoner," Ty announces in a monotone as he enters the room. I try my hardest to ignore him as he pushes a button and then jumps onto the pedestal so it can carry him up to where I am. "Hmph. You're alive, right?"

I huff.

He laughs as the pedestal rises and he walks down a path to my hanging cage. "Bet you wish you weren't." I glare at him. But before I can open my mouth to respond, his voice drops to a whisper, and he keeps talking. "They told me not to kill you. You should thank them."

My mouth goes dry, and I quickly forget what I was going to say. Was it important? It couldn't have been, not when compared to this. Geez, I can't- can't take all of this in at once – I trusted Ty, I... I care about him, and yet he has no trouble forgetting everything I thought we had.

"Ty," I say, and I mean for it to sound confident and intimidating, but instead it comes out strangled and sad.

"Sky?" he responds, pulling something out of his backpack. It glints in the dim light as he tightens his grip on it. "My self-control only stretches so far."
