19. You Can't Trust Them!

Ethan Dolan

I breathed out an enormous sigh of relief when I saw Blue coming through the door that leads to her old cell. But they relief soon faded when I looked at her.

The colour had drained from her face, pale and taut, her skin looked clammy, dark circles were prominent under her eyes and her lips were chapped. Worry flashed over me completely as I quickly hurried towards her.

"Oh my God, Blue." I wrapped my arms around her small frame. "I was worried about you, I thought he did something to do." I breathed out.

"I'm fine, Ethan." Blue's stomach growled, she placed a hand over it, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment.

"Are sure you're okay?" I asked her, placing my hands on her shoulders worriedly. She nodded her head, just then my stomach growled. She looked down at my stomach, letting out a puff of annoyance.

She sighed, walking towards the door. "What are you doing?" I asked, but she said nothing.

She lifted up her fist and pounded against the metal door. "Hey!" She yelled loudly, pounding harder, "Just because you're starving me doesn't mean you have to starve him too!" She shouted.

I grabbed her arm, causing her to look over at me. "Blue, it's fine." I shook my head.

She took her hand away from mine, banging on the door. "It's not fine, Ethan. You're starving!" She banged and banged again on the door.

"Blue."

Her let her hand drop to her side. "I'm sorry, it's just...I should be the one suffering, not you, you shouldn't have to be!" She leaned against the wall. "I'm sorry. This is all my fault, I just don't want you to get hurt because of me."

I grabbed her hand, lacing our fingers together. "Don't worry, we're going to get out of this mess together."

"Blue...Blue!" I shook Blue's body laying on the floor with my hand. She had fallen asleep over an hour ago, but there was someone important that wanted to see us.

"Blue!"

She finally blinked her eyes open, her tired eyes meeting mine. "Ethan?" She said groggily, sitting up. She winced, holding her head up with her hand. "Where are we?"

For a moment I thought she didn't remember anything, but then realisation hit her and she leaned her head back against the wall. She looked sad, almost ashamed. "How long have I been asleep?" She asked, confused.

"About an hour," Ethan smiled lightly, "But there's someone here who wants to talk to us." I said, worry and fear flashed in her eyes. "Don't worry, he said he wants to help us." I motioned with my head for her to look at the doctor standing behind me.

Blue

I recognised him, his name was Dr Black. He had worked here for as long as I could remember. He was the one who used to feed me, the one who used to stitch me up whenever Sir would take blood samples or do experiments on me.

But the doctor wasn't just standing there. He was standing there with a metal cart— full of food. My mouth pooled with salvia and I abruptly stood up, bolting towards the cart.

I couldn't bring the food to my mouth fast enough, not caring if I looked like an absolute animal right now. I ate every last bite. Dr Black left the room, leaving Ethan and I to talk in private.

"Blue, they want to help us." Ethan said, his tone sounding hopeful.

I spun around, my eyes narrowing. "No they don't, they want to kill us!" My voice was steely.

"Dr Black and the others didn't know I was here. Someone told them they had seen me. The doctors here don't agree with General Benson at all. Why do you like they helped you after experiments or fed you just now? Why do you think I'm here with you?" Ethan told me.

"I don't know. Dr Black could be working alone." I whispered.

"I don't know what happened. But all I know is you need to talk to Dr Black, he'll tell you." Ethan walked towards the door and I stared at him. I gave him a look, telling him don't you dare open that door but he gripped the door handle anyway, avoiding my stares.

"Ethan, you can't trust them!" I told him.

He looked at me. "What other choice do we have? We can't do this alone."

I searched his eyes before slowly—reluctantly, nodding my head. "Okay."

Ethan opened the door, revealing Dr Black.
