The Bryne Runaways (Updated)

Chapter 34

So far it's been days since I have met the outside nature. I've been in this room stuffed like a pot roast. I haven't done much in this room just lay in bed and get my check ups and look at Bones get better. Out of Bones and I was the first to recover from the games that had ruined us in many ways and was put up to distract us from what we really want to know. The outside world. We don't know anything about outside. Everyone in the camp has their own opinions of what they think how the world really is now. I don't have any type of idea of what hell is upon the camp. I really don't want to imagine.

After a couple days in bed I'm finally allowed to walk around the room. I just had to be very careful with my head because it's the only major injury I have. I'm fed three times a day recommendation by Dr. Meredith and to take my prescription drug that is twice a day and to open the window when it's noon. Visitors come after every meal and only have certain time to stay, like Uncle Ben is allowed to stay and Jacob too but not for too long.

Sometimes I wish I had Bones awake so we can talk and I can tell him jokes but he isn't awake because I put him through a coma. So whenever I'm alone I just do the same thing I do when I have no one around. Read my comics or just stare at my medallions. The daily thing. A boring thing.

The door opens and I'm scared to know who is it till then appears Uncle Ben. I'm happy to see him really. I needed a human who is actually awake. Also Uncle Ben is good company.

"Good morning buddy" Uncle Ben smiles at me awake. He walks over and sits down next to me.

"How is your head feeling?"

"It's okay"

"How'd you sleep? Any nightmares?"

"No nightmares tonight"

"That's good"

He pulls himself upward on my bed and carefully brings his boots up onto the bed like mine and his arm goes around me being careful of my head. He makes a conversation that we both discuss and spend our time talking about other people's lives that are much interesting than our very own.

Dr. Meredith stopped by and she didn't seem like her usual self. She looked upset and sad. She would always be making conversations with me while having a smile on her face, but not today, things are different. When she had finished with my check up she stayed with me as I ate my pudding I got from lunch followed with some soup. It's until after fifteen minutes of being with me when she left, giving me a kiss and telling me I'm special to her and then left with that. Something got to her, she never was in this mood before. I was worried for her really. It kept me thinking about it. Uncle Ben stopped by as well but he isn't acting the same he was quiet like Dr. Meredith. Something has been going on?

Throughout the day I just get to walk around, read comics, and talk to a sleeping Bones who never listened but I just imagined he did. Once I have finished I turned myself in for the day and fell asleep. Not much of a big day for me. Promptly quiet really.

It's until I'm woken up that midnight when I heard a loud crash noise on the other side of the dark room. It woke me up and I'm afraid, who's hiding in the shadows? Who's the other person staring at me?

"Who's there?" I say to anyone who's there.

There's no response but the table lamp on the other side brightened the room revealing that Gordon in the same room as me. The hidden monster. He sat on the chair looking directly at me with those venomous eyes filled with pure hatred. I then had this raging feeling in me and I couldn't tolerate this man.

"How you feeling kid?" He asks nicely but I didn't want be in this bipolar game.

"Get out!" I say and he stays silent till he gets up from his chair.

"Aren't you feisty" He plays and I just want him out of here. He doesn't belong here. He needs to leave before I get mad.

"Did you enjoy the games?" He has this smirk on his face.

"My friend could've died"

"Pity he didn't, I don't see a purpose why he needs to continue this sappy life" He walks over to Bones and is about to touch him till I grab his wrist.

"Don't touch my friend or else" I say with my head held high and with my chest risen. He looks at me with pure hate and retrieves his wrist. He looks at me giving me a death stare.

"You think you're so brave..." Says Gordon.

"....But in the real world you're not. You're just a weak sick kid, who will get torn apart by a simple thing. The people may think you're something special but to me you are nothing" He says to me, directly to my face.

"I don't care what you have to say. Your opinion to me doesn't mean anything"

"We'll see about that kid" He leaves the room as I think of ways Uncle Ben will hurt him.
