Week of Updates- Day 5

*Matthew's P.O.V.*

I woke up to my ankle throbbing. I sat up and looked at it to see it was black and blue.

Great.

I sat still trying not to move it as best as I could until one of the gaurds came to wake us up.

A few minutes of waiting went by when I heard someone slowly walking down the hallway. I prayed that it was a gaurd.

I needed help, usually I'm good with dealing with pain but right now, I felt as if I was dying.

It wasn't a gaurd however because nobody came for 2 hours. I surprised myself, I didn't know I could sit still for so long.

Once the gaurd came to my cell, he helped me up and explained that we were going to the nurse's aid.

When we got the aid, a woman about my mom's age layed me down on a hard metal surface.

"How'd you injure yourself?"

"Chain."

She nodded and took a needle out.

"That's not really necessary, is it?" I asked nervously.

She nodded and put the needle into my skin.

I let out a groan and tried to kick her away which made her slap me in the thigh.

"It looks like your ankle is infected. You'll have to stay here for a couple of days until it is heeled. Someone is here to see you they have ten minutes then they have lessons so make it snappy." She explained and walked out.

I layed on the table in pain as the door opened, revealing Sophia.

I smiled up at her, but the look on her face told me I should not be smiling.

"What's wrong?"

"Max is in trouble?"

"What, how?"

"He tried to escape this morning."
