She sat there holding herself and looking very scared.
"you ok?" I asked her quietly trying not to cause her any pain.
She flicked through yet another channel as she played with the remote something that she used to be accustomed to now a distant memory. Another life.
"no" she whispered, her voice echoed through the medium sized room. I leaned more forward on the old chair searching her eyes, well what was left. Nothing. No expression apparent on her face. No, not anymore. She was scared. I was scared. How could she do this? How could they do this?
Channel after channel she flicked through as she sat there, legs crossed, clasping the remote in her frail, delicate hands. It so hard to tell what was going through her head as she just stared at the device.
"do you think they're looking for us?" she finally looked at me. I got up and sat down next to her, grabbing her hands in mine and caressing them. "I don't know Gwen," I whispered to her. Deep down I knew they were gonna get her in the end but I'll put up a fight. she's worth the fight.
She just stared at me. For the first time in my life her gaze felt unnerving. Intimidating. "Gwen?" I called to her name. her eyes bulged but then went sharp, slit even. "everything's gonna be ok" I assured her. She lowered her head looking as sad as she could.
"you've already said that" she whispered not looking at me more to her lap. "and looked what happened" she stared back into my eyes.
I looked down to our hands clasping each others to afraid to let go. "they're gonna split us apart" she whispered to me. A hint of fear in her voice.
"W-What if I never see you again?" she asks me her gaze lifting onto me as I tilt my eyes to see her. "I don't know what I'd do without you," she tells me as her fingers interlace mine.
"I'm not gonna let them take you away from me" I reassure her. "I'll never let them take you away from me" I stare up into her eyes "never again"
