The Widows Daughter

Part sixty-one

Later.
(Chloe's POV)

"Ahh!" I shot bolt upright. "Ow."

I rubbed my temples hoping that the sudden pain would fade.

I tried to look around but everything was blurry.

I touched my face and found a mask over it. I went to take it off but someone stopped my hand.

"You're alright. But you gotta leave the mask on." A voice said.

I tried to see the owner of the voice, but my vision was so blurry and unfocused, that I couldn't see anything besides a shape.

"Where am I?" I asked, my voice muffled by the mask.

"Safe. You're safe." The voice told me. It was obviously a female voice, and something about it reminded me of someone, but I could quite pin-point why.

My head was too fuzzy.

"For now you need to rest." She spoke softly, pushing me down onto my back. "When you're more aware of everything, I'll explain more. For now though, try and get some sleep."

I closed my eyes trying to fall asleep, when it hit me. The woman was British.

Who did I know, that was British? Oh...

Lithuania. July 21st, 2014.

I rushed to Luke as he sat on the floor clutching his ankle. "Don't move." I whispered, setting my hand over his.

I forced my powers to work against the collar. Forcing his ankle to mend.

"Get away!" Doctor Marzmen spat, as I was pushed away by one of the guards.

I wiped away the blood that had fallen from my nose and watched as the doctor examined Luke's foot. "He's fine. Vhat did you do?" He turned on me.

"Nothing. It was fine." I lied knowing full well that it had broken.

I also knew that if he knew I was lying, much worse would happen to me.

"Vell?" He asked Luke. "Vas it fine?"

"Yes. It just slid out from under me." Luke lied.

"Hmph. Fine." The doctor grunted.

Soon we were dismissed, and led down to our rooms. As we walked Luke and I kept stealing glances at each other.

I stopped at the door to my room, but the man walking with me, pushed me forward. "Where are you taking me?" I demanded yanking my arm from his grasp.

"Boss what's to see the two of ya'." The big man huffed.

"Two?" I looked over and saw Luke walking on the other side of the hallway.

Turning my head I saw the doors to Annie and Zari's rooms close.

Luke walked closer to me, as the men slowed there pace and walked behind us.

They clearly weren't very worried about us running or something. That, or they just didn't care.

"I thought Marzmen was the boss." He whispered.

"Me too." I looked behind us at the men talking quietly. "Why would he want to see us?"

Luke shrugged. A thought hit me and for a minute I panicked. "Luke. What if they found out? What if they know?" I gasped.
