"Are you fucking serious? YOU PROMISED!"
"I-I'm sorry! I know, but I just can't!"
"Ty! Calm down! You're gonna make a scene!"
"HE FUCKING PROMISED ME BREAD! I NEVER BROKE MY PROMISES!"
"I'll get you bread! I just can't right now!"
"Stay back!" A guard yelled at Ty. Tyler's eyes widen in fear.
"Shit," Gizzy muttered under his breath.
"This boy messing with you?" The guard asked Tyler. Tyler shook his head.
"N-no sir."
"Don't fucking lie to me boy!"
Tyler gulped, afraid to say something and make the wrong move. "He's not sir."
The guard glared at Tyler as he grabbed Ty by his shirt.
"Have something to say for yourself?"
Ty said nothing.
"Rude motherfucker, huh?" The guard pushed him to the ground. Gizzy watched, not wanting to make the wrong move. "SAY SOMETHING!" The guard slashed his sword into Ty's side. Ty bit down hard on his lower lip. "Hope that teaches you a lesson."
The guard walked away. When he was no longer visible, Gizzy sat on his knee next to Ty.
"Come on! Stay with us Ty!"
"I'm so sorry, Gizzy," Tyler said. He was a nice kid, never wanting to see anyone hurt. Sure, he was sarcastic and rude at times, but he is a kind-hearted soul, just like everyone else in the town.
"It's not you're fault," Gizzy reassured to the boy.
"I fucked up didn't I?" Ty asked.
Gizzy smiled at Ty's hint of humor. "Yeah, pretty bad. Let's go." Gizzy helped Ty up and they walked to the house at the edge of town. Gizzy knocked on the door.
The door opened, and a boy about the same age as the two stood in the doorway. "Goddammit Ty," Jason muttered under his breath. He helped lead Ty and Gizzy to the couch. Jason grabbed his aid bag and patched up Ty's wound.
Gizzy stood watch at the door, making sure no guards came.
"A bump on the back of the head. Few cuts. Nothing really major. You were lucky he didn't decapitate you're head right there," Jason stated as he put the gauze in place.
"Fuck. I wish he did," Ty muttered honestly. Jason's eyebrows furrowed.
"Ty, quit bullshitting about you're problems. People are dying everyday from being starved to death. At least we eat," Gizzy said, glancing back at him.
"Sometimes. And I'm not bullshitting, I'm telling the truth."
"I sometimes wish this was a nightmare. I wish, just once, I just wake up from it," Jason sighed.
"Why did Sky have to leave?" Ty asked. He closed his eyes.
"I don't know. None of us know," Gizzy muttered honestly.
"Can't we contact him?" Ty asked, sitting up.
"Yeah, but it's too risky," Jason said.
"Whatever the risk, we need him back. Ty keeps losing his temper, you keep making the guards suspicious, and I can't take this anymore," Gizzy answered truthfully, putting his head down.
"Alright, I'll contact him tonight." Ty and Gizzy nodded. Gizzy looked out the window.
"It's getting dark, we better start heading to sleep. Jason? You gonna stay up?" Jason nodded. "Alright, just keep the lights off. Wouldn't want to alert the guards."
