"Well this is a nice change of scenery" he says
"It's a prison cell!"
( dialogue prompt: pintrest)
I stare at the 4 walls that surround us. It wasn't meant to end like this. It wasn't even meant to start. If it hadn't of been for him I would of been at home now, watching Netflix, eating cake and enjoying a blissfully quiet life.
But no.
He had to come and find me. At the first sign of trouble he feels the need to rope me in, tangle me up and entwinge me so deeply in his problems I can't escape. His problems become my problems, and his crimes become ours. And this time I don't think we can lie our way out of it. We can't bargain, we can't plead, for Christ sake, we are not even allowed to move.
I glance down and see the thick metal chains snaking their way around my frail, pale body and I begin to tug at the ones loosely blinded around my neck. The harder I pull they tighter they become so I try and relax and let go.
He looks over to me sheepishly and offers me a half smile and opens his mouth to speak. I glare at him, narrowing my eyes in a way that says don't you even dare. He gets the message and returns his gaze to the floor, eyes glazing over.
I would off had sympathy for him but considering I've been in this mess 7 times now and I haven't eaten in 2 days im done feeling sorry for this Moron. Besides, this is all his fault.
He waits 5 minutes and looks over again, opening his mouth to speak and this time I have no energy left to silence him.
" I'm sorry" he mumbles
I don't say anything. Instead I reply by rolling my eyes.
I've heard it all before.
'I never should of done this!'
'Please forgive me!'
' I'm so sorry'
' I'll make it up to you'
Make it up to me? You mean land me in more mess a few years later by coming back and ruining my life, awh thanks you shouldn't have.I continue brooding for sometime when i hear a loud scraping sound and realise it's the prison guard opening the door.
Bright light streams in, searing my eyes making me squint blindly at the tall sillhoute in the doorway.
"Follow me" he commands.
I'm helped too my feet by two other guards and I'm led into a smaller box room across the hall.The man looks at me and him and then clears his throat.
"You both know why you are here. Again. And quite frankly we are sick of seeing you. We warned you that you cannot continue with your rebellious behaviour. We let it slip last time and put it down to a genuine mistake but this time there is to much at stake.
Not only are you a danger to yourselves you are a danger to the public, us, the government and exposing our secret to the rest of mankind and we cannot put that in jeopardy""Please, we will do anything" I beg.
"The death will be quick, we are not monsters"
I hear a click behind us and see a guard pointing a gun behind both of our heads. I look over and see him, my partner in crime, with tears streaming down his cheeks.
"We are sorry to inform you, but this is the end"
I squeeze his hand comfortingly and my face softens.
" I forgive you"
