VENDETTA: Destructive Love

Chapter XX

CHAPTER XX

-"WAKE UP YOU PIECES OF SHIT" a screaming voice waked Daniel up and he found himself standing before his bed.

He looked around disoriented with eyes half open to find the man looking at him from his chair with a small smile.

-"Good morning" Daniel greeted the man as he rubbed his eyes to clear his view.

The man looked at him with a genuine smile, he reminded him of a kid, an adorable one.

-"I wonder how you are going to survive here" the man hummed while continuing reading his book.

-"I am no kid sir, I am a man, and contrary to everyone's beliefs here, I can defend myself very well" Daniel said then heard footsteps approaching with something hitting the metal of the cells, and not moments later, a guard was standing in front of the cell with a chart to deliver breakfast.

-"Good morning Daniel, the warden ordered this special breakfast for you, enjoy" the guard who seemed in his late twenties smiled as he pushed a tray with a mouthwatering breakfast in, and another tray with a regular breakfast for his cell mate.

Daniel just nodded his head and put the tray on the table while he held the other one with the regular breakfast in his hands and observed the blackish banana pury on the metallic plate with some soggy bad looking pancakes.

-"If you like it I won't say no to trading our trays" the man said with a humor hidden in his voice.

-"How can you eat this?" Daniel asked.

-"I passed a lot of time here that it became normal to me kid" the man said.

Daniel looked at the trash basket and threw the tray in, under the surprised look of the man.

-"Please, join me on this delicious breakfast sir" Daniel said with a smile.

-"I'm starting to appreciate your company kid!" The man said as Daniel handed him the mouthwatering plate of pancakes with chocolate sauce and fresh fruits and yummy cream, he looked at the huge cup of fresh orange juice and took a sip, pushed the cappuccino cup towards the surprised man, and then took the banana and started eating it calmly.

Daniel wasn't a huge fan of breakfast, but he appreciated fruits.

Once they had finished, the man pushed his chair away, and Daniel looked at him from his seat on the bed and smiled at the happiness radiating from the man's face.

-"So, sir, can you talk to me about the life here?" Daniel asked politely.

-"We are friends now, so call me Dave, my name is David" the man said as he stood up to put the trays by the opening of the cell where the guards can find them to return them.

-"So, Dave, how does it go in here, what do you do everyday and how are the inmates with you?" Daniel asked curiously.

-"There isn't a special schedule for everyone here, we don't even wake up all st the same time, some of us wake up way earlier to join the kitchen, and the others wake up like we did, we have breakfast and then we do our tasks, sometimes they let us out of our cells to join our friends and sometimes we pass the whole day in our cells, we are allowed to the yard for 10 minutes to half an hour, we can also exercise in the gym, study in the library, and do other hobbies, we can have lunch at the canteen, and then we return to our cells, and some of us are called for more tasks, and then, dinner is served here, and when the night comes, we have to wait for the morning and the time goes on" Dave said.

-"When are we supposed to shower?" Daniel said.

-"it depends, sometimes we are allowed to shower twice a week with the possibility of changing our uniform twice a week too" Dave said.
