"Then I have my own condition as well" his deep voice spoke, eyes fixed on me. I watch him carefully "you must come with us" I breath deeper, and felt my blood rush again. I don't know what kind of world I'm dragging myself into. I turn my head to Zylen. Watching him crying, begging for me. I pursed my lips

But wherever Zylen will go.. I will be by his side

"Deal" I look at colonel with hatred in my eyes, trying to look as brave as I could

"Brave choice, I really like you" the colonel spoke. But I hate scumbags like you, I cursed

"Make that shit quiet now!!" The colonel yelled "you want your prince so bad? Go then!" Major threw him to the floor and I quickly went to him. He hugged me like there's no tomorrow "Isaac..Isaac..Isaac "

I hush him a few times "it's alright, I'm with you.." I hugged him. Trying to comfort him. But before we could even calm down, Captain interrupted

"Move" he said as he open the door and wait for us. The rest of them stood still, cornering us not to let us escape, waiting for us to move. I watch Zylen, he was bleeding badly and all his legs are bruised and scarred with the burn marks. "He need a doctor" I stated. "Hurry up" the captain warn us "we're not going anywhere unless you take him to the doctor!" I insisted. Colonel scratch his head "Of course, just get your lazy ass move now" he give me a firm look and I look down to Zylen, I don't think he can walk anymore "Hey, let's get you to the doctor, you're going to be fine" I stroke his hair, he didn't look at me, he keep quiet as he keep his head burried in my uniform, his hands grasping. I slowly lifted him up in my arms. I got used with fighting so usually all this bruises on me are nothing much.. but it does hurt this time because they were stronger, muscular. I wonder how does it feels for Zylen, I can't help but to feel so sorry for him. He had such fragile figure ..this is why he seems to have so many health issues and difficulties to move.. the trainers hurt him.. and watching how they cut him up..this is crazy.. Poor kid.. I gritted my teeth and frowned. How can I save him..How to free him from this suffering

They lead us to the part of the building that I was familiar with when I did some night walk myself to clear up my mind, this part of building doesn't have much surveillance camera. I use to like it, but now I don't since I knew whatever happened to us here won't be known by the authorities, but I have no choice, Zylen need a doctor. Maybe I'll find a way out after he have been treated

We went down a few stairs, this place looks so run down and old, only showered by dim light bulbs, making this place so dark. Some of it flickering only waiting to broke.

Then what's upon me next makes me brace myself.

It's jail cells

Of course in this military camp there will be places like this to hold on prisoners. And this old facilities has been here since the age of war, the dirty floor.. the smell of rusty metals and the damp cement, fuck they even got old torture device.. this is bad.. really, really bad

"We're here, this will be yours from now on" the captain spoke

You gotta be kidding me

He open the cells "get in"

If I step inside, there might be no turning back "Where is the doctor?" I insisted "we're supposed to take him there first"

"Don't be stupid, there won't be any n doctor in nursing room at this hour, we'll get him here" the brigadier spoke harshly. I was pissed, but he got a point. The doctors and nurses are just a few blocks away, it won't be long to get them here, I need to get him treated immediately. Infact if I didn't comply, there won't be any doctor to treat Zylen. He might die of blood loss. I gritted my teeth, I need to get him treated first at all cost before I could take him somewhere else
