Chapter 3
I don’t know how long where have been in here, as there is no sunlight to judge the time by. But I DO know we were having the time of our lives and now we were both utterly exhausted. We rested, wrapped up in each others arms. We were both fighting to stay awake, fearing that if we fell asleep they would separate us again.
I notice Delta yawn and close his eyes. I nudged him, trying to help him stay awake.
“Please, don’t fall asleep now.” I muttered tiredly. I was having trouble keeping my own eyes open.
“I trying not to…”he said wearily, “It’s so hard though…”
“Maybe, if just one of us sleeps a while, then switch off…”
“That could work…you sleep first.”
“You sure?”
“Positive.”
I rested my head on his neck and immediately fell asleep, completely expecting him to be able to stay awake long enough….
When I woke up later, I realized to my horror that he was gone. I was now alone in the room. I whaled in despair, not knowing where they had taken him and if they would bring him back. I laid down again, longing to be by his side again, and waited….
They never did bring him back…instead they just keep me in here, all alone. I don’t know how long it has been. The only thing that gave me any sense of time was when they came to feed me. I have noticed that they were giving me more food lately, and I noticed that I was gaining weight. I also was finding it uncomfortable to sleep on my stomach and was forced to sleep on my side.
One day, after Odd knows how long, I felt a nasty cramp in my stomach. It passed after a few seconds, but came back a few minutes later. Then it went away again, but again it came back. This kept going on like this, and I cried out in pain.
After a few more minutes a couple of sligs came in. They went to either side of me and one of them injected me with some sort of drug. I blacked out not long after…
When I woke up, I found myself in my old cell. I felt very tired and sore. I felt something nudge me and I weakly looked up to Delta, with his head sticking through the bars, looking at me with a worried expression on his face.
“I was so worried about you..” he said, “When I found myself back here I was so afraid that they had killed you or something.”
“Delta..” I said weakly, “How long…was I gone?”
“Um…six months if I counted right.”
“Six months!?” I jolted up, only to collapse to the floor again.
“Easy Beta…whatever it was that they did to you, you are still too weak from. Just rest” he rested his head on my neck, he was barely close enough to do so, “At least we are together again…bars or no bars at least we can see each other. These last few months have been pure torture not knowing whether or not you were alright…”
And I had to agree….
