||Walk me home||

Freedom

'I honestly don't think I've ever been this bored'
I think to myself, staring at the replacement ape that they sent down here, he's not doing any better then the last guy by the way. I don't even look very intimidating, I mean I'm sitting against a dirt wall with my legs spread out before me.

"Hey, ape thing"
"..."
"Do you guys not feed your prisoners?"
"..."
I groan, man now I'm staving and bored! With a sigh I try to get food out of the shaking ape.
"Bro I'm hungry, get me some food!" I growl at him, with a squeak he followed the example of the last ape and high tailed it out. " oh my-" I cut myself off with a groan.

About half an hour later, an orange ape, I think they are called orangutans, walks down the steps slowly. I take to my feet, curiosity getting the better of me. Walking to the edge of my cage, I follow him with my head cocked at an angle.
"Who are you?.." I ask quietly, taking a step back from the bars when he walks forward and sits at the side of the bars. He looks up at me, a trusting smile falling into place on his flat face. He made his hand into a crab claw shape and ran it from his throat down to his stomach, he did this multiple time still smiling patiently at me.
"I.. I don't understand?" I apologize, "what are you trying to say" I question moving closer to the bars. I slowly sit before him, only half a meter separating us, he then makes a swallowing motion. "Are you.. thirsty?" I ask, he shakes his head smile going even wider, hinting that I'm getting close. "Are you...... OH are you hungry?!" I exclaim, I grin when he nods his head enthusiastically.
"I don't have any food" I inform him quickly, my excitement fading. He snorts at me, then makes the sign again then points at me.
"Am I hungry?" I ask, feeling like I'm getting into a game of charades. Once more he nods, with his smile doubling in size.
"Yeah! I'm really hungry, can you please get me something to eat?" I beg, whipping out my best puppy dog eyes. With another snort and nod of his massive head he stands, walking out the way he came in.

I stand quickly following him as far as the cage will let me, I wave my hand to him as he walks out, he repeats my gesture. While staring at the spot that I saw him leave I walk backwards until I hit the dirt wall, sliding down taking my spot back on the floor.
"Man, today has been a weird day.." I mutter to myself, smile crawling into my lips.

• CAESARS POV •

Twenty minutes after Maurice went down to the prison level of the base, he returned. It was quick not a good answer then, I felt a sudden wave of anger and... protectiveness? Crash over me at the thought of hurting her. I stood once he started walking over, sending the confusion at the feelings into the back of my mind, to think about another time.
"What do we do" I asked when he was close enough, he smiled at me, a happy smile. So a good answer then?
"She is fine, hungry, but I doubt she will react vengeance for if" he signed, a chuckle working its way up his throat.
"She's not upset? She looked angry before, are you sure?" I questioned, tilting my head towards the entrance to the cages.
"She is upset, but she will get over it. She looks to be already over it, honestly" he signed back, with a shrug.
"So we release her then" I say, turning my body to face the lower part of the base.
"Would you like me to come down with you?" He asks, straightening his body.
"No, it will be okay" I say quickly. "But if you could get someone to bring down some fruit for her, I would be thankful"  I consider out loud, with a nod he was off.

'He is taking his time' I thought to myself, my tummy growling in agreement. Then i heard footsteps coming down the stairs, I stand so fast I almost end up on the ground again. Quickly racing over to see what the orangutan had brought me, exited to see someone that won't run scared.

My heart skipped a beat, at the sight of him. I take a step away from the bars, eyes going wide. The sound of my own heart beating filling my ears, like something from some shitty romance novel. I Tried to tell myself it was from fear, but I knew what it meant.
"Caesar.." I whispered into the silence, he stops his descent down the stairs and watches me. We stay like that for a long time watching another, before he spoke.

"I have decided on your fate" he said, eyes still locked onto one another's. The words floating around my head, 'I'm dead' I think to myself.

"Your free"
