Chapter Two: If you can't say anything nice…
Wow? You're all still reading this? I LOVE YOOOU!
My personal thanks go out to:
eco girl : I think I will! D
littlekittykat : Thanks! I just guessed since they write in precursor…
firecat1991 : So do I. giggle
salena99 : Trust me, you should have seen it before I put it through Spellcheck!
CISELKANEO2 : Yay! I don't disappoint!
criticfinatic : Good, point! Maybe It's some kind of eco–by-product. Unless Eco's like uranium and leaves water as a by-product or summat like that. I didn't pay attention in science. And we'll just have to see, won't we?
LarzRuscoBombadillo : Hehe! Thanks!
DarknightofSpira : And I shall! strikes pose
((BTW: " " Precursor ))

Elizabeth pulled herself to the surface of the murky water and gasped for breath. Several of the guards were simply staring before floating bikes zoomed low above her and shot hit the water in sprays. Dive, dive, cap'n! She twisted her body and did a pearler's dive, going straight down until her ears started to ache and leveling out her body, not wasting any time to start an underwater breaststroke away from the guards.
" Where is she " One of them asked, looking down into the water. Thankfully, the murk and god-knows what that had been thrown in over the years provided more-than-adequate cover for her.
" Get some guards all around! We'll be there when she gets out " One ordered, and they fanned out, reinforcements coming around.
Rising for air under a narrow walkway that went over the water, she huddled in its shadow, out of breath and fairly sick from the poor quality of water. Did I say poor? I meant liquid shit. She took in deep breaths and looked. All around the seemingly lake-type water thingy, there were the red guards.
Christ help me! She prayed silently and forced her muscles to drag her onto the walkway. Tucking the soaked notebook into that back of her pants she took a few deep breaths, saturating her lungs with oxygen.
„ Surrender and die " A guard shouted. She turned back to the water and dove in, using her added torque to go straight into freestyle. She didn't particularly care about endurance, she needed to get somewhere where they couldn't reach her, fast. Above and behind her a single guard placed his tazer gun into the water…and fired.
She could register numbness in her limbs and a tingling in her chest before her vision faded. " Pick her up and bring her to the prison. " One guard ordered as another zipped low over the water on a hover bike. The heavily gloved hand that picked lifted her from the water would be that last thing she would feel for a long, long time.

Elizabeth finished her journal entry through the pounding headache, taking a moment to grimace at the best writing she could manage through the haze of pain and hunger along with the gaping holes where the pen had caught the soaking paper and torn it before setting it on the small cot beside her head. Curling up on her side she shivered. Her still-damp clothing seemed to be sucking all the heat out of her body as well as her energy.
" Hey! You "
"Right when I try to sleep…" She mumbled, not looking back. There was some muttering and a loud grinding as the door opened. A hand grabbed her by the collar and forced her to face someone. "Ow! Hey!" She muttered, her head spinning.
" When I speak, ANSWER ME " The man shouted, long, vertical tattoos ran down his face and brow. She squealed, and attempted to shrink back before realizing that he had her in a vise grip. " Now, where are you from "
"Nnnnrg…Uhm…sorry, senor. No comprende." She clawed at his hands and tried to kick him before he tossed her into the far corner of her cell.
" Tomorrow we'll start the eco treatments. She should talk then. " He ordered, shutting the door as he left.
" Yes, sir! Commander Erol " Elizabeth slowly climbed to her feet and sat on the cot before she curled up and dissolved into tears. Abruptly, it had hit her. The shock that she was somewhere strange and scary, and she could be here for the rest of her life.
So absorbed into her sobbing, she didn't notice that her tears a slight, bluish glow to them.
