Unraveling Time

Chapter 17

I freeze when she says that. Blaze is the first one to speak up.
"H-hey Emily...are, are you okay?" He says shaking. "C-can can you let us...go?"

She replied in giggles. "Oh Blaze. Don't look so shocked! I've always been like this, and I know you want to be like this and do it to Galaxy!"

"W-what do you mean...? I never, you never! Never acted like this!"

"We all know. But anyhow, let's get started!"

We all sit in silence as a tear go's down my face.

"Lets have some fun!" Emily says as she stands up and picks up a girl body. "This one if for you Galaxy!"

She picks a body for everyone and puts them in a row.
"Now! Who wants to go first?"
We all stay quiet. "NOW! WHO WANTS TO GO FIRST OR I'LL KILL YOU ALL!"
I scoot over to Emily and weakly put my hand up.
"Great!" She says with a grin "Pick a body and who you pick gets no food for the day!
When she says that I look down to the bloody floor.
"And if you dont! They all get starved! Don't you bloody pick yourself you or they all die!"
I look over to them both and I see Blaze mouth "Me" I just gaze back down to the ground as I let a tear fall.
"5...4...3...2-" Emily counts. I try my best to pick up Blazes representation of his body's arm. As sadness covers me. A huge grin spreads over Emily's face and she giggles as she does.
"Great!" Emily claps her hands. "Now let's get yourselfs in your room!"
Emily stands up fast and wipes her bloody hands on the side of her pants, that just puts more blood on it. I turn to Blaze and whispers
"I am so, so sorry."
"Its okay...better me than Silver." He says as he turns to Silver and gives a weak smile, and she gives one back.
Emily opens the door and shoves us out of it and all I see is a empty hallway with a line of doors and she pushes us in each one and locks it behind her. I look around my room and it looks pretty normal but I guess nothing is normal. Tears start rolling down my checks more and more, not being able to stop them. I just want to get out of here! I definitely don't deserve this! I try to calm my self as I remember something. I close my eyes and take a deep breath.
'Please. Please Blaze. Are you their?'
A few seconds pass and still nothing.
'Please! I need you!' I try again.
A minute passes, than another, and another. I sit on the very hard bed as I try to process everything. I am nothing. I have nobody. Never had a life. I've been kidnapped twice now! I'm usless. I don't deserve being able to get a second life. Is this them saying so?

I hear a noise toward the door as I see a plate being pushed under neath. Just a single piece of bread is on it. I walk to it and picks it up and I put it on my lap as I study it. My hands and clothes are still covered in blood. The smell still lingers in the air.

I could just starve myself. It would be easier than living in this awful place. But the days of my stomach craving for just some food. It would be to much. I can't do that to Silver and Blaze. I take the piece of bread in my shaky hand and bring it to my mouth and take a bite. I throw it up right away in disgust. It's not that it taste bad...but...that room. I won't be able to eat for awhile.

A few seconds later a loud screaming fills the air. I cringe and roll up into a ball with tears drenching me. I know this is going to be a restless night.
