I woke up once again into the darkness, my cheeks damp from crying and the soft skin that surrounded them as I touched them lightly with my hands. Carefully, I tried remove some of the dirt that traced them, but afterall - I couldn't see very much.
I'd near enough given up hope, no one was coming for me. It had been so long, so awfully long.
I'd been here forever now, It could've been weeks..or even months. But when you're stuck in the pitch black with not a clue what time it is...time moves uncontrollably slow.
I looked to the left where the very still girl with dark eyes used to be. Until she was brought up into the bright room where I met Catori. I'd assumed she'd ended up with the same fate as Amy...
"Hey, you okay?" A soft, familiar voice called out to me. I turned over on my side to stare into the darkness at my friend who's name I didn't even know.
"You try being told that you're the reincarnation of Cecilinda...have superpowers aswell as you're a friggin dog."I almost yelled, still not believing what she had told me was true.
She was lying, she had to be.
"Well sh*t." He mumbled, then suddenly he caught on. "Wait...you are the reincarnation of Cecilinda! As in thee Cecilinda!" He yelled.
"No, the girl works down the street...OF COURSE THAT CECILINDA." I shouted at him, and for the first time ever I heard him laugh. It was nice. At least someone found my sense of humour slightly funny...or maybe we were just slowly going insane.
"You know...I don't even know your name." I almost whispered at him, slowly crawling forwards to be as close to him as possible.
"I can't even see you in there."
"Maybe that's for best", He spoke lightly, I could tell he was smiling.
"Who doesn't like a good mystery "
Now I laughed, it felt strange to feel an emotion I hadn't had to use in a long time. And this friendly stranger had brought it out once again.
"You realize who you just said that to?" I laughed, embracing the feeling that I hadn't felt in forever. It felt nice, It warmed me slightly.
He then sighed and brought his hands through a gap in my cage for me to shake. I noticed on the brim of his hand lay a small tattoo. It was an outline of a tree, with a swirl twirling around it with an arrow at the top of it, pointing towards himself with the initials NM.
It was quite small, having just sitting at the top of his finger.
"Back home they had a name that they never used for me. My pack knew I hated it, so instead they shortened it. I trust you Cece...so I want you to use it." He paused as I took his hand.
"I'm Jay...nice to meet you." He spoke sarcastically as this clearly wasn't us 'just' meeting.
""Jay...nice to meet you, I'm Cecelia.....Or Cecilinda...or the princess." I smiled as we shook each other's hands. A question popping up in my head after I received a laugh from him.
"Jay?" I asked him, trying to get used to saying his name. It was a nice name, and I felt honored that he even shared it with me. He could've ignored me the moment I got in here but he didn't. He tried to help.
Plus the fact that the dude had been here 5 years and not gone insane, he deserved credit, and I gave credit where credit was due.
"Yeah?" Was his response, interested in what I was gonna ask him. I felt him budge slightly closer to me from the other side of the cage and I smiled lightly at this.
"Did you pack ever try to come for you?" I asked.
Silence.
"I'd hope so... I mean my dad was the alpha and even though we clashed a lot I'm sure he did care deep down, somewhere..." He mumbled towards the end of his sentence.
"Do you think we'll every get out of here alive?" I asked without even thinking, almost regretting it when the answer was fairly obviously right in front of me. As far as I'd heard, no one had ever gotten out alive.
"You will..." He responded, "I'll make sure of that -Â just keep all energy you can for now, so you can heal and get yourself out of here." He told me, instructing me as if it were an order in which I couldn't refuse.
"H-are you sure?" I spoke, stumbling on my own words from the shock that his previous statement caused.
"I might not get out...but you will, you need too." He almost struggled to speak, I'd never felt so much pity for a single person. But he was strong, the strongest person I'd ever met. He had survived, loosing his own mate.
Our conversation was rudely interrupted when one of the rogue wolves came our way, shouting that we weren't allowed to communicate with other prisoners. Funny he called us that, we were more like meals.
"Prisoners!" More like "food supply."
Of course I didn't have the courage to actually speak up, I didn't have the energy nor the death sentence to do so. Instead it was another voice that I heard speak up, and it came from right beside me.
"Shut the heck up!" Jay shouted to him, standing up in his cage my moving as close to the 'guard' as he could. I could only tell he was standing up from the shadow he caused, and take it from me. The dude was huge.
"What did you just say to me?" The unknown wolf spoke, moving closer to Jay's cage and grinning his disgusting teeth at him. Obviously he hadn't heard of a toothbrush either.
"You heard me mutt." Jay spat and I couldn't help but release a huge grin. It was about time this place got put to shame, and I was glad it was Jay whom was finally doing it.
"Wrong choice." The other wolf smirked, opening the cage unexpectatedly and grabbing Jay by the hair, or so I assumed.
"Cece ...don't watch." Was all I could hear before cackles let out into the coldly, silent room.
It took me a second but I picked up on what was happening from the repeated slapping and cackiling noise. The inhuman sounds finally completed the picture.
Jay was being whipped.
Paranoia set in and I froze and began to panic, what could I do? How could I help? I couldn't even stand up on my own! f*ck!
"Jay!" I began shouting as tears ran down my face at the only friend I had being in severe pain. I began punching the cage and kicking it, all while still lying on the freezing concrete floor. Any part of my arms that had healed...were now messed up again.
Once the horrible shouts and the whipping stopped, Jay was thrown back into the cage and lay very still on his back. Not budging or moving a muscle.
The rogue wolf then made his way over to me and snarled at me, the fright that it gave me was enough to cause me to hide in the corner of my cage.
He laughed as he walked out of the room containing all of the cages, almost seeming content with the suffering and pain he had caused Jay.
But that's what these people were like. It's who they were, and nothing would change that. Ever.
I crawled my way over to the small gap between both me and Jay and placed my hand in it, he wasn't responding to me.
"Jay?" I asked, finding his wrist and placing two fingers on it. Trying to find a pulse of some sort. He was weak, and in a place like this weak meant death. He was going to die.
If I did nothing he was going to die. I would be alone.
A voice on the back of my head appeared, a voice that I hadn't heard in a long time. It spoke a simple word which gave me courage and both fear at the same time. I knew the voice, and it knew me, It had always known me.
Heal him, it taunted me.
I knew that I didn't have a choice. If I didn't he would die, but at the same time a thing Em told me rang through my head.
If you use up too much of your own life force, there will be nothing left to support you and you will die instead.
I thought about it for a simple second then placed my hand completely around his wrist. Closing my eyes and concentrating. Thinking of things that made me happy, and immediately an imagine if my mom came into my head.
I focused on it before it suddenly changed, it was Hunter. He was standing smiling at he, his dark hair flowing in the wind As he leant against a tree his hand reaching out to me. My hands were now piping hot and my energy or 'life force' began to drain from me as Jay began groaning.
It was working - he was waking up. Again I closed my eyes and continued to think, roses came into my head and immediately and image of Rose, Hunters mother appeared in my head.
Her soft brown eyes smiling at me as if I were part of her family, as if I were her own child. She had always treated me nicely, she had always accepted me. Even when I was new to this crazy world full of werewolf's and crazy girl's who wanted to practically eat my soul. She was patient. She had always been patient.
Jay suddenly shot up and immediately grabbed his arm from mine, panting quickly and slowly as he came to his senses at what I'd done.
Me however, I fell straight onto my back and struggled to stay awake. Not even having the painful energy to sit up. The breaths from my chest getting painfully slower as I took in less oxygen.
The cold floor was welcoming me, calling my name and egging me to fall asleep on it. I would not accept, not until I knew Jay was alright. His panting and coughing gradually slowing down as he adjusted his wind pipe to the dusty air that surrounded him.
"Ce?" He struggled to speak, another set of coughs taking over his body.
"W-what did you do...." His voice shook.
I remained silent, my eyes facing the black ceiling as I was too tired to move them while they threatened to close down on me. Instead I let out a loud breath. Only realizing it made my body shut down even more. If this was how I was going to die then so be it. I was done fighting.
"Cece...tell me you didn't use your energy on me." His voice cracked, but still I refused to see the worst part of this. He was alive, and he wasn't going to die...not while I was here.
"I-" I struggled to speak." I couldn't let you d-die." I almost whispered with my weak voice. My throat dry and raspy as it hadn't been touched by a drop of water in days since they handed some out.
"Cece!" Jay now told me off by shouting at me. "You're supposed to be saving you're energy for you! Why did you waste it on me!" He panicked, obviously thinking of our plan.
I didn't give him a response, I couldn't. Every part of me was giving in, and the darkness began to cover me in a way it never had before.
I welcomed it, and It accepted me, dragging my consciousness into a deep, dark, black hole.
Hey there guys. Damn.
