     My eyes fluttered open.. I blinked a few times before letting out a shriek. I was in a dimly lit room, my hands and feet taped against the chair I was seated in. Tayson was in a seat next to mine, his eyes still closed.

     "Tay." I whispered, afraid someone was going to notice that I was no longer unconscious and remove me from the room. He did nothing but groan, shifting in the seat a bit but not waking up. 

     "Tayson." I whispered a bit louder, he let out another groan his eyes fluttering open. "What?" He hissed, turning his head and narrowing his eyes at me.

     "What's got your panties in a knot?" I whispered, letting out a giggle. He just turned his head and closed his eyes again. Letting out a sigh I just sat there, after a couple minutes I began wiggling in my seat I really had to go to the bathroom.

     Just as I began wiggling in my seat, the door opened, letting out a soft whine as it opened. I quickly dropped my head and closed my eyes, the wiggling had also stopped. 

     The person who entered the room let out a sigh, "Looks like they still haven't woken up," he grumbled, his voice near silent. "Well get them up!" A very high pitched voice squealed, stomping over to me and shaking my shoulders, "Wakey wakey."

     I let out a little shriek as the woman's hands clamped down on my shoulders, my eyes opening and widening, my small frame began shaking. "P-puh-please d-duh-don't tou-uh-touch me," I stuttered, shrinking back into the chair.

     The woman let out a strained laugh, "I'm sorry dear!" she chirped, removing her hands and taking a couple steps back. My icy blue eyes scanned the room, the fluorescent lights were now on and they hurt to look at. 

     There we're a few other people in the room, most of which were armed guards. "Who're you?" I murmured, my gaze roaming over her face. 

     "Angelia Keeley." She said proudly, standing up a little bit straighter. 

     I don't know when my hands got untied but I shakily extended one, "Taelea Lemahieu."

     The woman gave me a pained smile, as she tugged me into a standing position. Before I could open my mouth to speak one of the guards walked over, slightly glaring at Angelia. She winced and let go of my hand before trotting out of the room.

     "Where's she going?" I questioned, tilting my head and looking up at the man. 

     His emerald green eyes met my icy blue ones and he shrugged, extending his hand out for me to take. I glanced over at Tayson before back to the man, "Where are we going?"

     "You'll see." He said, and I just shrugged crossing my arms, "Well, let's go." I said.

     "Cocky." He murmured, before walking to the door, I quickly walked behind him.

     We exited the room into some sort of dimly lit hallway. He began walking down it and I hurried to catch up to him. After about 10 minutes I sighed, stopping in the middle of the hallway and pouting.

     "You walk too fast!" I exclaimed, sighing. He looked over his shoulder at me and let out a sigh, walking back over to me he lifted me up and threw me over his shoulder, letting out a giggle I stayed there, letting out a wince every time his shoulder dug into my stomach.

     "Where are we goinnggg?" I asked once again.

     "To see Jordan."

     "Who's Jordan?"

     "The Resistance leader."

     "What's that?"

     "Do you ever shut up?" He said, pausing in the hallway, and setting me on my feet.

     "No." I said, grinning. 

     "Well, we're here."

     I nodded, brushing my shirt and the man just laughed. Before taking a couple steps forward and opening a door, making a motion for me to enter.

     I stuck my tongue out at him as I passed and he gave me a look that said 'don't fuck around' I nodded and continued into the room, my mouth dropping open as my eyes took in every detail of this room. The dark walls contrasted well with the bright floor, though there was stuff scattered all over the room it was still beautiful. 

     The man who I was with walked by and pushed my jaw up, taking a couple steps forward and exclaiming, "Jordan! The other girl is awake!"

     He entered the room and I gasped, my jaw once again dropping.
