I pace nervously across the room often exchanging glances with Phoebe as Sienna checked on Dane for the hundredth time. My throat was bruised but less swolen than it was a few hours ago.
"I'm sorry, you've known him for so long." I whispered as I finally stopped still next to Phoebe.
"He'll be fine, I'm sure." She said even though she didn't mean it. Her eyes were red and bloodshot but she had finished crying a long time ago. I'm surprised no one has checked on us yet.
"This is all my fault." I muttered.
Phoebe gave me a sympathetic look "It's not, its this stupid bloody place."
"Has this happened before? Surely you cant get so mad at someone for sleeping in that you would want to beat them senseless." That was the one thing bugging at me. That and what's going to happen next.
"It has happened and there has been serious punishments for little mistakes such as this one. But, this time was different. Dane always took the punishment for us because Chance was always willing to do it. Then, that was only a few punches and maybe a whip. But never ... This." Phoebe choked.
"How is he?" I asked because really I had nothing else to say and this was important.
Sienna looked up at me with red eyes identical to Sienna's, she took her hand away from where it was on his neck, checking for a pulse, and spoke "He's out cold. I don't know for how long but it doesn't seem fatal. No internal bleeding, no serious damage to any of his vital organs but," she pauses to take a shaking breathe "There's some nasty damage to his spine, scalp, legs and one of his shoulders is dislocated. I should probably fix that while he's out."
I couldn't watch so I turned around just in time before there was a loud crunching sound. I turn back around to see Sienna wiping sweat of her forehead. "All that, because he slept in." I stated angrily.
"Well, Chance has been wanting to get Dane back for something he didn't do for quite some time no. So, I guess this was his excuse." Sienna said shrugging.
I wasn't surprised that Chance did this to be honest. I mean, he was the guy who purposely killed all his family and friends.
"What now?" I was certainly asking too many questions to the two girls whose best friend is beaten, but I needed to know. A silence fell upon the room. They didn't know anymore than I did. The silence was broken by stomping footsteps echoing towards the door. Sienna and Phoebe instantly went into each others arms and stood by Dane. As if someone else was controlling my body, I stood in front of the three protectively.
"Thank you." I heard Sienna whisper in my ear.
Before I could reply Mitch burst through the door, face burning red and most horrifically, a gun strapped to his thigh. He scanned the scene, Dane laying beaten and bruised on the floor, Sienna and phoebe out of their cell with cuts on their lips and me, arms spread protectively as if saying "me, not them."
"Dane, Dane, Dane," Mitch tutted calmly "What are we going to do with you, ey?" Fingers twitched over the guns handle as I sent him a piercing stare.
"Don't you dare." I growled.
"Oh, look. Its Dane's girlfriend. Aren't you supposed to be training for your big day?" He replied smoothly. I swear to god, if one more person refers to me as Dane's girlfriend I am going to go on a murder spree.
"I don't know, aren't you supposed to be sitting on your ass somewhere ordering innocent people to murder?" I snap back.
"Touché, Lisa." He chuckled treading pass me and crouching next to Dane.
