Day 57
----------------------------------------------------
=============================

"NO! Not again!", Scott shouted at the top of his lungs as he woke up in fright. Pushing himself up, so he wasn't laying down on his bed.

Tears filled his eyes as he took shaky scared breaths, "Scott?", came a voice from somewhere in the room. A hand touched Scott's shoulder, Scott jumped and hit the arm away as he desperately crawled across the bed to get away from them.

"No, Scott, sh, it's me", the voice said to him as he frantically tried to get away. The person pinned him down to stop him from panicking.

"Scott, it's me, Zoe, calm down. It was just a nightmare", she said to him, "take deep breaths, calm down".

Scott took deep breaths, his heart was racing. "That's it calm down, it's just a dream it cant hurt you", she reassured him as she let go of his arms, as he laid limp on the bed.

They sat in complete silence as Zoe stroked Scott's hair, as he breathed in and out to calm himself.

"Some fucked up dream", he managed to breath out with a small smile as he laid on the bed. Zoe laughed lightly at his response, "your an idiot", she said as she got up and walked away.

Scott smiled as he slowly heaved himself up off the bed, his head hurt. Looking around Scott realised he was in Zoe's trailer, he could see Zoe making something at her little kitchen area.

After Scott took in his surroundings he raised his left hand to his head, pressing his hand down on the part of his head that he landed on when his mum, threw him in the floor after he cowered away from her. His head felt rough under his fingertips, where Zoe must have bandaged his head

"Hey, don't touch", Zoe said as she slapped his hand down, as she crouched down next to him, "you'll move the bandages", she said as she touched the bandages that were wrapped around his head.

"Your lucky that you didn't crack your skull open, she ", she explained as she handed him a bowl.

"Yeah... lucky", Scott said as he looked down at the bowl of porridge she had just handed him. Taking the spoon he lifted the bowl up to his face and ate a mouthful thankful for some real food.

Until he chocked on the taste and nearly spat it out.

"Christ Zoe, whats in this?", he asked as he looked down at the normal looking porridge.

"If I told you, you wouldn't eat it", Zoe said as she stood up to sit on the chair next to the bed.

"Reassuring", Scott muttered as he cautiously took another mouthful, it didn't taste as bad as the blood and guts he was being forced to eat. But it still sent a shiver down his spine and make him want to be sick as he swallowed.

As Scott ate he heard Zoe ask something but her voice was bearly above a whisper, that he didn't hear her. Eating another spoon full, he turned to face her.

Zoe was looking at him, but her eyes were glossy like she was looking at him but at the same time she was looking right through him.

"Zoe?", Scott carefully asked as he lowered the bowl to his lap. Zoe blinked a few times before shaking her head, "sorry yeah?".

"You said something? What was it?", Scott asked her. Zoe just looked at him with sad eyes before her eyes fell down to his bare chest that showed his ribs under his skin.

"What did she do to you down there?", she whispered yet again, but this time Scott heard it. Scott heaved a heavy sigh and explained, "after the day... I guess when she took over. She locked me in that room... she said she couldn't give me her gift, so she declared me the dog of her apparent family, of Mama, Dad and Lucas. So she treated me like one".
