Have you ever just ...ya know had a good life ..some what..then it's tooken from you , snatched out of your hands just like that? More or like getting snatched up by a hook just to be tooken away? Pretty much that's a situation I've been living in for two years almost..God I wish we could go back. Have another way to slip through time and stopped Samos , Daxter , Keria ..me ..from ever coming to this place...I can't feel much now , my body's cold , numb ...hungry and close to death...it's -
"HEY GET UP FREAK YOUR BACK!"
"Mm." I mumbled feeling the sharp pain in my side as I got yanked out of the transport cage and stood on my feet. I gave a glare to the guard as three others approached and I started to move . I'm in hell..obviously I'm in hell . As I got pushed into the prison I can hear all of them. Some trapped civilians ..more looking better criminals..liveish Bastards..and of course after going to the special areas for the main test subjects I see them..the people who oddly kept me company, Alana , Garter who doesn't talk at all ,..and the first I met to oddly actually talk. Iris. With everything becoming more packed they put us in group cages and luckily I got assigned with them . As they thrown me in my eyes look up to Alana , the shortest/ youngest out of our group look down to me offering me a hand up and a gentle smile.
"They did a number on you again today Jak?" She asked quietly. I took the hand as she helped me up and I looked down to her. With the voice that's now started to form I nodded.
"Yep...same old same old..." I horsey mumbled as my voice dragged out. I look to Garter as he sat in the corner still silent and his body in a more shaded area from the light . He looked up to me a second. His damaged eye and his good one had a sort of glow to them till he looked back down his dreads falling over his face. I soon looked to iris as she laid on the one bed in a fetus position her back facing us . Her bodily lightly shaked from what I noticed. Her clothes seemed a bit more ripped then usual like she was in a struggle. Her mainly white hair covering her face. I look back down to Alana .
"She isn't holding out so good ...she got caught trying to steal food for us again at the lounge ....I told her it wasn't a good idea..it was a horrible idea but ..she then went on to the 'I'm not letting us die here ' speech. She doesn't want us to starve but she herself isn't eating anything.....They beat her the hell up for it ." Alana said crossing her arms. As her eyebrows take more of a sadden shape looking over to iris . I felt my eyes widen as I rushed over moving her on her back and fixing her hair. To my unluck she had a black eye and a few of her scars and cuts she had seemed to leak blood along with her nose being damaged . She flinched but looked up to see my face with her good eye and she weakly smiled.
"H-Hey.." she was the more bone dead then all of us . I kept some of my weight only losing a little. Garter had his build still . Alana had some weight to her but iris ..was skeleton like close . She adjusted herself a little in a more comfortable position as she coughed. "D-Dont worry about me okay?" She said softly.
"Yeah , fuck that ." I said my voice cracked a little low . I held my throat a second then looked to her again. "You ..dammit Iris you can't steal stuff you'll keep getting beaten." I growled as she slowly moved her body to sit up and look at me . The bags under her eyes turning a bit darker as a shade of grey came with the lighting to her pale skin.
"I'm not gonna let us die in here we got to see outside these walls again we have to , we will." She mumbled then her head looked down to the floor . She was always the one to try to keep everyones spirts up..especially mine . A little more of her blood dropped to the bed as she went to wipe her eyes again . I grabbed her hand as her gaze turned towards me. Her amber eyes staring at me but not coldly .
"I promise we will....all of us together okay?" I said quietly , I wasn't sure if I myself believed it. But it's a nice thought. I then looked around to the others. Alana sighed as she moved over to where garter was and sat down beside him.
"And how ? how are we supposed to leave iris? the barons got us locked up tight in here." Alana looked to iris cocking an eyebrow. Iris looked back up to her as she stood up keeping herself steady.
"We'll come up with a plan ! Come on , we got to do something!" Iris clenched her fists together looking to garter and Alana . She coughed again holding her stomach as a little bit of blood came out . She looked towards me as she walked over slowly. "Your with me right ? We can do this !" She said quietly But with a sort of determination. I smiled half way to her .
"I like your determination. But yeah...maybe we can actually do this ." I said a bit happily . A sort of light was always around her that I could never pick up but I can tell she cares a lot about us . Iris smiled happily as she hugged me gently then looked back to Alana and Garter.
"I got a plan to figure out the routes of this building."
"You better not think of going out there ...you know what will happen." Alana said putting her face in her knees. Iris rolled her eyes and walked over to her lowering herself and sitting on the ground in front of Alana and garter.
"...I'll take any beating, even death..." she said as her expression turned sad. But she smiled to try to cover it . Alanas face looked up to iris as I walked over to them sitting with them next to iris.
"Don't ever say that shit again you'd be stupid to die and I don't think the three of us are going to let you-"
"-she won't get caught if I make a distraction." Garter mumbled to us in a low tone . He doesn't really talk but it's nice to at least kind of hear his voice at those rare moments. His face remained expressionless as Alana glared to him.
"You've been in here longer then us." Alana growled to garter. "This could literally be suicide for all of us. Maybe if we cooperate-" her voice paused as our eyes look over to the creaking sound of the cell door opening. A Krimson guard stood there eyeing the 4 of us then looked to Iris as he grumbled .
"KL19 , your demanded to come with us ." Iris looked to them as she moved herself over to the wall staring to the guard then looked to us. No words came from anyone as silence filled the room. He grumbled more soon walking in and then shoving Alana to the wall and yanked me by neck throwing me aside . He soon grabbed Iris wrist tightly. "Let's go freak ." He growled. I looked over to iris as she tried to struggle then he moved his hand to yank her by the hair dragging her out . I got up quick trying to make my way to the cell door until another guard followed shoving me back in before locking the cell. The hall soon filled with noises of struggle and feet hitting the ground. She'll be back... she's gonna come back. I sat up staring to the door as clenched my fist my nails digging into my skin. My blood boiled then I felt a sharp pain as I looked to my palms. My nails starting to become claws till I felt Alanas hand on my shoulder. I looked up to her as I calmed down.
"She's gonna come back..it might take hours but she's gonna come back." She mumbled as her other hand held her head. She went back over to Garter sitting with him. Garter held himself as he shook lightly but I can sense something boiled in him too. I got up walking to the wall as I sat down leaning my body against the cold concrete.
"This is bullshit...I swear...I'm gonna kill baron praxis.."I mumbled to myself shutting my eyes. Letting the pain settle in my vocal cords and drowning myself in my thoughts. Dammit why us?..
