Chapter 10

I slowly open my eyes, the sound of boots hitting the floor fills my ears. I set up, and look down, at Easten who is laying on the floor. The damn cell only had one bed, so Easten and I take turns sleeping on the bed. I wish I knew how long it's been but I lost track of time. "Easten, wake up?" I hiss as I lay my foot on his face.

Easten smacks my foot away, "What the hell man," he snaps. Easten has become more and more solicitous. I don't think he handles small places like being in a cell in the sky box for god knows how long. The worst part is we don't know when it's our birthday, we just assumed we will know when the guards show interest in us.

"Do you hear that" I ask, while getting off the bed. The cold metal floor sent chills through my body. I wish they would have given us a blanket or something, but that would mean the council cared about us.

I look down, Easten has fallen back to sleep. He has been having a rough time sleeping, I think he's been having nightmares. I sigh and walk to the front of the cell, I grab onto the cold metal bars. I don't see anyone, but I still hear boots hitting the floor. As I was about to walk away from the metal bars I hear someone screaming. I can't make out any words but they sounded terrified. Perhaps it was someones birthday.

Suddenly the sound of boots hitting the floor, gets louder and louder. Something isn't right. I shake Easten until he wakes up.

"What?" He groans. Easten gets up,"Whats going on?" He asks, while rubbing his eyes. Easten eyes were bloodshot, red.

"I don't know, I think there coming." I say with a worried tone of voice.

I finally see the guards, they search each cell and grab the prisoners. Two guards approach our cell. Easten doesn't say a word as they pull him out of the cell, he looked helpless, like he accepted his fate. But I can't accept mine.

"No!" I shout as one of the guards grab my arm. I punch the guard causing him to release my arm. I swing my fist again, but the guard manages to grab it. Suddenly I feel a small pain in my neck, my eye lids become heavy, I fall to my knees, both guards hold my arms. I look up at Easten, Who looks numb but I know he's hiding behind the numbness. "Until we meet again," I manage to say before going unconscious.

I hear voices, sounds like a bunch of young teenagers are talking over each other. Then I hear a deep loud voice, a voice I hate. I slowly open my eyes, they were still heavy. My surrounding are blurry, I feel dizzy, I don't know what the hell is going on. My vision clears up, for a second I thought I saw Jaha, but as soon as I saw him he was gone.

I look to my left and right, Easten was next to me on my right, while Jasper, sat on my left. Suddenly everyone unbuckles and stands up. I try to unbuckle, but I fail to regain control of my limbs. Easten, unbuckles me and helps me up. I begin to fall backward, but Easten. helps me regain balance.

"Where are we?" I ask, but it comes out as more of a mumble.

Jasper looks at me with a grin," We are home."
