Chapter 16
~*~Shackled~*~
I could feel myself breathing hard. My hands felt as if they were being squeezed. I felt as if my body was being hung from something but I wasn't
sure from what. The thought secludes me. Suddenly my left eyebrow twitches and I can hear yells and screams. The sound of a huge explosion and the
smell of innocent bloodshatter. Was this really happening, was I dreaming..., or was I seeing into the future.
" ^GASP^" I said as I jerked my head up breathing extremely hard. I could feel sweat running down and off my face. I took a few seconds to realise
where I was. I winced and looked to my left, my hand was shackled to the wall behind me. Actually both my hands were shackled to the wall in the
colony prison. I was forced to stay in a kneeling position. This was pure torture. I let a moan of agony loose in the air. My face pounded. I
wasn't sure why until I remembered the last thing I saw before I blacked-out. Trigger's fist launching into my face.
" Fuck..." I cursed as my head hung limply in exhaustion. I wasn't sure how much time had passed or even if it was the same day. I felt to tired to
move or even fight. I just wanted to die. As I hung there pondering away the rest of my tired life, I heard the cell door open. Footsteps slowly
approached me. With whatever strength I had left, I raised my head to see who it was. No one of great importance. Just the cell gaurd with a tray of
food in his hands. He knelt down and placed it infront of me. I looked at him as my eyes hung half way open. " Are you going to behave yourself?"
he asked curiously.
I opened my mouth to speak but soon realised my throat was extremely dry. I then forced myself to produce 2 words,' F-fuck...you...' The gaurd
growled angrily as I kneeled there smirking with exhaustion. He stood up and did something to my shackles. I fell from the wall and hit the ground
with a thud. I still had chains emerging from the cold steel that wrapped around my wrists. I lied on the ground wincing in pain. My whole body felt
sore. But what I felt now was nothing compared to what I was going to get in a few seconds.
The gaurd grabbed the chains that imprisoned me and held them up so that I would be forced to stand. My hands were up in the air by force. My eyes
were closed and I didn't care what happened to me. The gaurd brought back his fist and launched it hard into my abdomen. My eyes flared out widely
as the pain shot throughout my body. He then released the grasp on my chains and I instantly fell to the floor, caughing violently. Gasping for air.
A wide evil grin then grew on his face as he saw me squirming on the floor like a hungry mouse looking for food, except my lungs were hungry for
air. He then kicked me in the side causing me to turn over on my back. " AH!!!!!" I yelled out in angony as I lied there sprawled out on the cold
floor.
" That'll teach you to talk to me like that you little bitch" he said spitting on me then walking away, locking the cell door. My breathing
quickened its pace as lied there in extreme pain. I didn't know what was worse, the punch in the face, the punch in the stomach, or the kick in the
side. All three collided into one sharp pain. Suddenly without realising it, my body began to shake uncontrollably. I didn't know what was happening
to me. I've never felt anything like this before. Was this fear? " AH!...shiiiiiiitttt..." I moaned out. I thought about just lieing there and
hoping that I would die, until I remembered that we still had a chance or at least I thought. That other gundam pilot. He was still on the colony.
Surely he would complete our operation.
With the little bit of strength I had, I turned over on my stomach. My vision was extremely blury but I fought hard to keep conscience. I felt like
I was going to collaspe any minute. My eyes closed for a few short seconds. My body wanted to give in, but I knew I couldn't give up that easily.
I forced my eyes to open and gritted my teeth angrily as my chin sat on the cold floor. I then used one arm to drag me to the tray. Surely there
would be some water there that I could drink. My mouth had a distinct taste of blood and my throat was dry as hell. Finally I had dragged myself to
the tray. I forced myself into a sitting position where my legs sat on one side while one of my hands supported me. I used my right hand and grabbed
the cup that held the water.
Thirstilly I grabbed it in my hand and brought it to my lips and started drinking it down greedily while some of the water drooled down my neck. I
decided not to be to greedy and saved some water for later. I wasn't sure but I knew that I would probably be in here for a while. I was feeling
slightly better except for the sharp pains. I forced myself into a better sitting position until I saw something on the other side of the cell.
This cell room wasn't small. It was infact big, dark and cold. Something on the other side of the prison caught my attention. I couldn't really make
it out, but I forced my eyes to at least try.
Finally, I was able to determine what it was. Hung in the same manner as I first were, was an unconscience long haired boy. I held my breath in fear
that he might be dead. I looked at the cup that held the water I had almost devoured, then I looked at him. Even though I was in great pain, I
snatched the cup in my hands and started to force myself to stand. I looked at my chains. They looked long, but hopefully they were long enough for
me to reach him. Holding the cup in my hands, I began limping my way toward my injured companion. Wincing everytime I placed my weight on my left leg.
When I made it over to where he hung, I fell to my knees panting once again. I placed the cup down and looked at his head which limply hung there
motionless. Worriedly, I placed my hand on his shoulder and shook his gently. My chains rattled along with my action,' Duo...Duo...'
He made no movement what-so-ever. My eyebrows lowered and my eyes wavered. I hoped he was alive. I placed my hand on his cheek and lifted his head.
His face looked so peacefull in a sleeping state. He looked as if he had no worries at all. " Oh Duo..." I said in a concerned whispered. I placed
my left hand flat out infront of his mouth. I waited for a few seconds and felt his warm breath upon my palm. Relief then took over my body. I
looked at him and placed a kiss upon his forehead,' You bastard...your still alive' He was alive, just unconscience. I looked up at the shackles
that held him captive. Once again I forced myself to stand wincing in the process.
I looked at his hands at where he hung. The chain that was attached to the shackle seemed to be hooked on a hook, keeping him in that hung position.
Carefully I unhooked the one ring that hung off the hook on each of the shackles. Soon Duo fell to the floor. I kneeled down and placed him over my
lap with concern. I held up his head with my right hand and dipped my fingers from my left, into the water. I looked back at the sleeping boy then
slowly ran my wet fingers along his lips, hoping it would help. " Common...wake up..." I said worriedly. Once again he wasn't showing the slightest
movement. Why wasn't he waking up? He was breathing meaning he was alive.
I dipped my fingers into the water once again but this time I ran them across his forehead, moving his chestnut brown bangs out from his sleeping
face. In a way I didn't want to wake him. He was so gorgeous just sleeping there silently. My emotions for him seemed to be getting stronger as I
looked at him more worriedly. I shook him again gently, wishing that he would stir,' Common. Wake up. Please wake up...' I then pressed my forehead
to his and closed my eyes tightly. " Gawd Damnit wake up!" I growled holding him closer to me.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
" Sirs...you requested to see me?" said a dark haired man. Trigger stood in the office of the 3 commanding officers. " Yes. Go down to the prison
and bring Keense Yukiko here. We would like a word with her before we carry out our little scheme" said the the oldest. A broad devious smile grew
upon the young man's face,' You know, she slept a whole day. She doesn't know what day it is or even the time...' The second oldest commaning
officer grunted a grunt of interest,' I see. Well, when she is here we'll inform her that today is the 11th...she'll be awarded for completing her
mission'
" A reward huh?" said Trigger curiously. " Yes my dear boy. One that is to die for..." said the third commanding officer with an evil glare in his
eyes.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
A few minutes passed and I had given up on bringing my companion back to painfull reality. I was sitting up against the wall with his head
sleeping on my lap. My hands rested on his chest as I slept up against the cold wall. I was both tired and in pain. Even though those 2 things were
a major thought pounding in my mind, knowing that the person I loved was still alive, drowned them out. I then realised something. Whenever I was
with Duo, I was always happy. Just like when I was with Amina. No matter how down I was or what situation I was in, both of them somehow managed
to bring a smile to my face which was a rare thing to do.
I had lost someone I loved once before. I vowed that it's not going to happen again.
Soon I heard the sharp sound of footsteps walking down the prison hall. My eyes slowly started to open as the sound reached my ears. I turned my
head and looked infront of me. I was now fully awake and wondering what the hell was going on. Suddenly a conversation between the gaurd and the
owner of the loud footsteps, were talking,' I was told by the commanding officers to retrieve Keense Yukiko. Her time's up' Aroused by this convo,
I gently moved Duo's head off from my lap and placed it on the cold floor. I felt guilty for doing so, but hearing this conversation threatened me.
I stood up infront of my sleeping ally, defending him from any harm. Soon the cell door opened and a figure I had despised walked in.
I decided, for Duo's sake, to behave myself. As I stood there painfully, Trigger smirked,' Well, how's the stay? Any complaints?' I smirked back
point to the gaurd,' Ya...your busboy is a real asshole...' The man closed his eyes and chuckled silently. " Even when your beaten to almost death
you still have a sense of humor. But you won't have that same humor when the commanding officers speak with you" he said threateningly. I stood
there holding back my anger. I didn't want to waste the last bit of my strength on getting mad at him. " Fine. Do what you want with me, but leave
him out of this"I said seriously.
" His fate is not for me to decide. You'll have to speak with the commanding officers about him..." he said plainly. I then stood stiff,' Then I'm
not leaving. Until I have your word that nothing will happen to him while I'm in meeting with the commanding officers, I'm not moving one bit...'
"Keense. You forget, your injured. Your to weak to fend for yourself..." he replied coldly. Even though I hated to admit it, he was right. I was
even to weak to stand, let alone fighting. I then shook my head angrily,' I don't care! I'm not budging until I have your word...' Trigger then
placed his hand to his forehead and sighed,' Stubborn as always...' He then snapped his fingers. I stood there curiously, foolishly challanging
whatever he had ready for me.
Soon a couple of built gaurds walked into the cell. I slowly backed up in anger, protecting my unconscience friend. Soon the gaurds engulfed me in
their strength. They unlocked my shackles and began to drag me off with effort. I wasn't going to leave without a fight,' DUO!!! NO! WAKE UP!!!'
I kicked and punched as much as I could, injuring one gaurd here and another there. But everytime one fell, another emerged to help drag me off.
Trigger stood there amused at this. I yelled and screamed frantically yelling out Duo's name so that he'd wake up. I wasn't secure leaving him there
alone with a man I really didn't like. " DUO!!! NO!!!" I yelled as tears and fury welled up. Soon, I couldn't fight them off anymore. I was forced
to give up. My limbs felt numb and I could barely even stand now. I let myself go as I was dragged down the hall, with Trigger's smirk being the
last thing I saw as I moved out from sight.
