170 FOLLOWERS! HELL FUCKING YEAH BROOOOOO!!!!

Cry's pov
I woke up feeling groggy. My vision was blurry and my body ached. A low hum echoed in my ears and made my head throb but the most pain came from my arm. I recalled the previous event that happened the other day and tried to sit up but I was chained to a bed. The same bed I had been chained to last time I was in this room.

I heard the door open and tensed up. Being back here has put me on edge and I've forgotten how to think straight and strategically. I looked over at the door to see Danny and Mary walk in. I let out a silent breath and relaxed a little. I knew they were no threat to me.

"You're finally awake," Dan said reluctantly. I let out a groan as I tried to get more comfortable.

"Only just," I breathed out. "Where's Felix?"

"The blondey? He's in the food hall. Not sure if it's a good thing he's away from Arin's torture room or bad that he's with the other guards," Dan said sadly. I remembered being with those guards when I was last here. They don't give you warnings.

"Ross on guard today?" I croaked.

"Yeah. He's not as bad anymore but one mess up is still equal to a knife wound. And your little friend seemed to already have plenty," Dan said concerned.

"Yeah. He wouldn't tell Arin his name," I said.

"Sounds like someone I know," Dan chuckled.

"Oh shut up. The only reason I told him is cause he wanted to chop my dick off and I kinda need that," I said with a small smile. We would joke about that a lot after I'd gotten to know Dan and Mary.

"You know why I'm here by now. No trying anything," Mary joked, pointing a finger at me.

"Who me? Never," I fake gasped. We all laughed quietly before falling silent again. Mary checked the stab wound on my arm, cleaning the wound and making sure the stitches would hold, before putting a new bandage on it.

"Done?" Dan asked. Mary nodded and stepped back, letting Dan step forward and uncuff my arms. He helped me sit up and let me use him for balance. I slowly stood up and we headed to the door. I already knew where we were going and trusted Dan enough to lead me with closed eyes.

We approached the food hall and I saw two other familiar men standing guard; Matt and Ryan. They saw me and their eyes widened. They quickly recovered their postures and glared at me. I smirked as I remembered why they hated yet feared me so much. I'd almost killed them when we were escaping but decided to let them live.

"Good morning," Dan said politely. They bpmuttered their hello's and opened the doors. Dan led me inside and I immediately found Felix being antagonized by Ross. He just can't help himself can he.

I stood up by myself and walked over to the two men, ignoring the surprised looks of everyone around me who had previously known me and stopped in front of the two. Ross noticed me quickly and turned his attention to me. It gave Felix enough time to slip behind me and hide from Ross.

"Ryan. Seems you didn't get far then did you?" Ross taunted.

"Yeah, thought I'd come back and annoy you again," I smirked. Ross frowned and an angry expression crossed his face.

"You know the punishment-," he started but I cut him off.

"I'm fully aware of the punishment. But do you remember what my gang can do?" It was my turn to taunt now. Ross' face twisted with rage but he didn't say anything.

"Don't get in the way," He spat before he stormed off. I chuckled to myself and turned around. Felix and Dan stood behind me, Felix with a shocked expression while Dan had a not so amused one.

"You can't keep doing that Ryan," Dan said, shaking his head.

"I prefer Cry and I don't care. He was being a dick to Felix," I said quietly.

"No excuses Cry. But please don't get into too much trouble. I've already contacted Scott. We've arranged a plan but I'll tell you that later when there's no ears listening in," Dan said, looking around. Most people had moved to sit further away from where we were standing but I knew he didn't just mean the people captured.

"Fine. But If he wants to be an ass then so can I," I hissed under my breath.

"Man you've changed a lot. You used to be such a shy little pussy. Well, until your last week here once you'd snapped," Dan pointed out before leaving. Felix was giving me a confused look but I shook it off and sat down, eating the food that already sat at my table. The cook must have known I was back and arranged it for me.

"What was Danny on about?" Felix whispered, sitting next to me and taking small bites of his food.

"I was here previously. I'd been captured when scouting out for my group and was kept here for six months after the first winter of the apocalypse. On my last week I'd snapped after being tortured for three days non-stop and killed three guards, severely injuring most of the others. I was locked in a room with no food and a small amount of water for the rest of the week, bleeding out and everything until Scott and the others broke in and saved me. Dan had been able to contact them on the radio. I would have been left to die if he hadn't," I whispered. Felix was left speechless. He looked at me with wide eyes.

"I'm so sorry that happened to you. But I'm glad you got out of here. Or I wouldn't have met you," Felix said with a small smile. I smiled back and continued to eat. We needed to keep up our energy if we wanted to get out of here alive.
