Hate is a Feeling

"Why did you help that woman?" Raines hissed across the table.

"She didn't deserve to die."

"Why were you trying to escape?"

Silence.

"Why were you trying to escape?"

A fist slammed against the table.

"I am trying to find my family."

"You're family is dead. You have only Centre and myself. That's all you've ever had or ever will."

"I've been told my parents are still alive."

"Who told you?" Raines glared at him angrily.

She did.

"Annie."

"You lie, and lies are a sign of weakness."

A glare.

"You are weak. This place has made you weak. The outside has made you weak."

"I am not weak!"

"You are. That's why you didn't finish your mission. You failed because you were weak."

"The Others were weak! They didn't have what it took, but I did. I decide who lives or dies!"

"But you ran, and when you ran you showed your weakness, your fear."

"I am Not afraid! I am Not weak!"

"Why did you run?"

"I had to find my family."

"Your family is dead."

"No they're not, my family is alive, and my parents are alive."

"I am your family now."

Eyes narrow.

"You are Not my family!"

A knock sounded on the door and both men looked at the small window.

"Time's up!" The guard called through the speaker in the wall.

In the Centre all the walls spoke, they all watched, they all listened.

"You are my property, never forget that." Raines hissed as the wheels of his oxygen tank squealed as they turned.

Kyle was returned to his cell by the guards. Upon his arrival he pulled the blue notebook out from behind the toilet / sink and sat on his bunk, with the notebook in his lap. He sat contemplatively for a quarter hour before he opened the book and began to write.
