Beyond our Earth

35: Afraid

~~~~SARA'S POV~~~~

 I stared wide eyed at the door, bracing myself for the worst. Guards ready to take us to solitary confinement, medics with syringes that would make us go to sleep and never wake up, I really wasn't sure what the punishment would be. We had disobeyed the master so many times, maybe this was the last straw. Maybe we were done fore.

I reached across the floor, slipping my hand into Althazar's.

The door clicked and swung open, revealing several tall guards.

They picked us up by the shoulders, maneuvering us out of the holding cell and into the hallway. No new handcuffs were added, which gave me some relief. We were being treated more humanely.

"Which one of you is Althazar?" An automated voice questioned.

Althazar raised his hand. "I am." He said.

"Come with us." The voice responded.

"What about Sara?" Althazar questioned.

"She will be returned to her room." The guards responded.

I met his eyes, worried.

"What are they going to do to you?" I questioned, my voice shaking.

He shrugged his shoulders.  But there was a lack of fear in his expression, just unknowing.

The guards ussered us to the end of the hallway, taking Althazar one way and me the other. They let me out of the holding area and left me to find my way back to my room. I walked the stark white halls until things began to look familliar. My heart was still hamering. No matter how much I reasoned with myself, I just couldn't get it to stop. I was much more afriad being separated.
