The Ones For Him

|43|

I woke up to the door creaking open and flipped over, seeing the same short boy from yesterday. He carried a big, plastic container with a tray of food on top and placed it at the end of the bed.

"Good morning..."

"Good morning, Reece. What time is it?" I sat up and yawned.

"It's nine in the morning. The men brought you past eight last night if you were wondering." He turned to me and I nodded.

"Are you going to be able to talk now, or later?"

"I'll come back later since everyone is going to be busy training." He walked to the door and looked back at me, "I left you a pen and paper inside the box so you can write a letter to your boyfriend. I'll come by later and pass it on to him."

I smiled, "Thank you, Reece."

He nodded and quickly shut the door so I opened up the box. I dug through the toiletries and pulled out the pen and paper, setting them on the bed. I put everything else under the bed but used the lid of the container to write on.

I wrote a short letter just telling Enzo that I would find a way to get us out of here and that I loved him. I also made sure to write small so that we would have more room to write back to each other, without having Reece get more paper and having the chance of him getting caught.

I folded the paper and placed the pen inside, tucking it under the mattress of my bed. I would give it to Reece the next time he got here, but for now, I'll just have to eat my breakfast and wait for him to get back.

I looked at the tray and saw that it was just a plain sandwich with cookies and a small water bottle. "Yum..."

I guess food is the exact same for every meal.

Back at the warehouse, we actually treated the people better than this. We would give them more food in return for getting more information out of them. We would give them extra blankets whenever it got cold, and if they were acting extra good and compliant, then we would give them an extra mattress. Here, it seems that they only fed you the same three things twice a day with no snacks. I mean, they even limited the water which is not healthy at all. Unless you decided to drink from the tap, but I'm sure the water wasn't clean.

Now that I think about it, when would we be able to shower? How would we shower? Would we be able to change our clothes? Would they give us clothes?

I actually don't think I'll be able to wait a long time for Amir and the others to save us. Maybe I'll just try breaking Enzo and me out at some point, but I wasn't sure how long that would be until then.

I forced the sandwich down but decided to save the cookies for later when I was hungry again. I only drank half of the twelve-ounce water bottle so that I would be able to save it for whenever I was really thirsty.

I laid down and sighed, thinking about all of the things that were happening, then I thought about me missing my medication today. That meant that I would probably start getting more episodes, attacks, and flashbacks. I would just have to hold myself together and hope for the best, but I knew that the best wasn't what I was going to get. I would just get worse from here on, but that could also help me at an advantage.

If I were to gain the trust of the Jester's Flush's Donna, I'll be able to train and be able to release all of my emotions while training, which will make me fight harder. That will then slowly make everyone believe that I am on Jester's Flush's side when in reality, I'm just training myself so that I can fight them when the time is right. Or maybe Amir and the others will get to Enzo and me before I'm able to do all of that, which I would much rather happen. They'll come here and raid the place, killing every last person of Jester's Flush and torturing them until they're screaming in agony and leaving them to die.
