The Chosen Ones

Being Captured

Week:5, Day: 4

I woke up sore laying on something cold and hard. I sat up and instantly regretted it, my head was pounding and all I could see were spots.  I laid back down and waited for them to disappear, and slowly the headache went away also. I sat back up slowly and saw that I was in a cage with a bunch of people. Most were sobbing and holding onto each other, but if you looked closer some were missing limbs, while some were missing eyes or pieces of their face. Most were covered in blood, either their own or not. I resisted the urge to throw up.

“Nixie!” I heard slight shuffling as bodies moved out of the way and I saw Blaine.

                “Blaine!” I said and hugged him. “Where’s Elek?”

                “Still sleeping. He is okay though from what I can tell.” Blaine said pulling me over to Elek, but I winced in pain as I tried to stand up. My ribs and legs hurt. “Come on.” Blaine said trying to pull me up.

                “Owww, god Blaine stop!” I yelled out in pain. “Stop!”

                “What’s wrong with you?” He said touching my legs.

                “Fuck! Piss off, would you?” I glared at him, “That hurts.” I had a high pain tolerance, so he knew when I told him to stop, that I seriously meant stop.

                “I’ll just drag Elek over to you then.” He mumbled.

                “No, don’t. He could be hurt worse than me.” I said laying back down. “Go be with him, I’m fine by my own.”

                “Are you sure?” Blaine said tilting his head slightly.

                “Positive.” I mumbled staring at the roof of the cage. “I guess we really are in a cage now.” I sighed when he left.  It felt like hours until someone approached me.

                “You attacked too?” A guy said sitting by me.

                “Yup, you?” I tilted my head towards him.

                “Yea. What happened to you?” He said looking at my body, I suddnely felt uncomfortable.

                “A house fell on me, but I was near an open door so it was not that bad,” I said trying to sit up, attempting at not looking weak.

                “You in here by yourself?”

                “Nope, I have two brothers in here with me..”

                The guys nodded slowly, “I see, I see.”  I nodded as I heard footsteps outside the cage coming towards us.  It was a giant, but he was around six or seven feet tall. Every able body ran to the side of the cage farthest from the giant. The giant when to all the people who couldn’t move, including me and my brother and forced us to drink something. I tried to spit it out, but he growled and grabbed my leg roughly, I let a small whimper.  My brother couldn’t drink it so he shoved a needle into his arm and injected him with it.

                “Elek….” I attempted to say, but I passed out again.

                When I woke up Elek was shaking me. “Nixie! Nixie! We are in a cage!”  I nodded my head as I rubbed my eyes.

                “I know,” I mumbled, and then my eyes went wide in shock. “You’re awake. Oh my god! You’re awake.” I said as I sat up and hugged. “Thank god.” Then I realized I sat up with no pain.  “I can sit up.”
