Now They Walk

Gone

-------------------------Nate-----------------------

Their was more than just staff people here. Pastor wade said that she would show us today.

They separated me and Ellie but we are just a room apart. They did that three days ago.

I pushed the white blankets off of me and climbed out of the bed.

I grabbed some clean clothes that pastor wade gave me.

I started taking off my clothes. Each piece I took off made me colder than the last. I took off all of it, underwear and all.

I had lost some weight from the start of this. I was skinny before but now I was even more so.

I put the underwear on. I'm not that big of a guy but these underwear were almost too small. The pants and shirt were fine though.

I walked out of my room and went to the cafeteria.

------------------------Jake------------------------

"Jake.."

Her voice woke me. Not a sound I want to hear.

"Your awake, good"

I sat up and leaned my arms on my knees.

"Have you made a decision?"

I nodded.

"Very well" she said

She didn't say anything else. What is she waiting for.

The door opened and she walked in with three other men.

I stood up. She had a tray in her hands and clothes over something on it.

"Come peacefully" she said

I walked slowly to them.

She sat the tray on the floor. The men guided me to it and I sat down in front of it.

"Just one question"

"Quickly Jake" she said so sweetly

"When did Nate leave?"

"Before I told you he did"

"Where did he go?"

"If he left I wouldn't tell you where he went"

If....

"No more questions"

She took the cloths off of the tray.

A knife, a quarter, a picture of some girl and a statue sat on it.

"Four choices, violence, greed, lust or false idols"

I looked at them.

"Grab one and pray for forgiveness"

I hovered my hand over it. It fell upon the knife.

"I pray that you will forgive me... for the things I'm going to do to her with one of these, I pray that she feels it, and it hurts her even in death"
