The next morning, Aurora stirred awake to see that she had fallen asleep resting on James. She got up and walked in the corner, thinking about what she had found in that closet a couple nights ago. It kept on repeating in her head, cure cure cure. There was a cure. But then why are we sick? Why was I dragged away from my home to find out there's a cure to this madness? It makes no sense...
James stirred awake to Aurora walking back and forth along the wall of the cell. All of the memories came flooding back to him. When Aurora found the cure, when she was upset, how he forced it out of her and how he wiped her tears and hugged her close. He decided not to mention it, he didn't want to upset her again.
"Okay hear me out-" Aurora began, "We just have to go one more time and find the cure, then notify everyone in here with the nameless disease. Then we can all confront the guards and they'll have to explain".
James looked reluctant to do so, and was about to say no, but then he remembered how he promised her safety, and he intended to get it one way or another, no matter what. "Alright, I'm in"
"...Really? But what if we get in trouble?"
"It's a risk I'm willing to take if it's a risk that will make you happy" he replied.
She smiled "thanks James. You're awesome".
That night, they were getting ready to sneak out again. When they creaked open the door, Aurora led him over to the closet she had spoken about, the one with the cure. They arrived and she quietly dragged out a box from one of the shelves.
"Here it is" she said, looking at it in still slight disbelief. They both got so distracted by the cure that neither of them heard the footsteps coming down the hall. When the guard peered in through the closet door, he saw the two of them.
"I knew you two were up to no good" he said, firmly grasping each of their arms.
Aurora kicked him in the shin, "Let us go!". But no matter what she did, he ignored her. They got thrown in the doctors office and locked in while the security guard called over the doctor and other guards. How would they get out of this mess? They were doomed, and all they could do now was eavesdrop.
