Chapter 5: Still Lost
Sorry this one's pretty short! Please someone I need ideas! Lol. I'll try update again soon.
The sky looked so beautiful, the moons shinning so brightly... The moons, why was there more than one? I turned in slow motion taking in every tiny bit of detail. Where was I? Then I remembered... Michael and Isabel lying lifelessly on the floor. I remembered the pain in my whole body, still there. I needed to get back.
I slipped back into consciousness. I felt my head on the freezing cold, hard floor. I felt the wet substance I could only guess would be my blood. Not daring to open my eyes, I didn't want to see, I didn't want to know.
I sat in silence, total silence only breathing could be heard. Mine and... I couldn't make out how many more. It could have been Max's waiting for me to wake up. It could have been Michael's and Isabel's or it could have been one of the men from earlier.
Time passes painfully slowly as I lay semi conscious in this unknown place. I was unsure of the time, or if I was safe. The feeling of isolation, fear it was overpowering. My whole body ached. This whole situation it just wasn't right, this wasn't my world it wasn't reality!
Slowly I finally opened my eyes, starring into the darkness sounding me.
It didn't take long for my eyes to adjust. Where was I? Everything had changed... It wasn't like this before. The room was much smaller than before over in the far corner sat Max. He was awake, and looking right at me.
"You okay?" He asked softly.
I nodded, causing more pain to my already aching body.
"Where are we? Where did Isabel and Michael go, did you find Liz?" I cried in panic.
"Yeah I found Liz. I don't know where we are and I don't know where they are"
I sighed. Me and Max were the only ones here. What if something happened to Liz or Michael and Isabel.
"There's no way out Maria... I've tried everything. We're trapped.
I closed my eyes. Me and Max had been trying to get out of this... Cell, for hours. I slumped down beside him tears rolling silently from my eyes.
"Maria just hold on"
"I can't, I'm just so tired." I sobbed.
At the exact moment a thin wedge of light appeared at the door... It was open.
The silhouette of a tall man walked in. "Hello Mr Evans"
Max quickly stood up prepared to defend himself if needed.
"Restrain him please"
Two more figures entered the room.
"NO! Max watch out" I screamed.
I felt so selfish but deep down in my heart I knew, I Max was taken I would be all alone... He couldn't go.
I charged at one of the men, jumping onto his strong back. Clumsily I closed my delicate female hands around him neck. He charged backward into one of the concrete walls smashing me into it. Pain shot through my back spreading to ever corner, every nerve. I slumped sown landing in a crumpled pile on the floor unable to move.
I watched in horror as the scene in front of me unfolded. Max sent two men flying forward, as they crashed painfully next to me the third man stabbed him in the neck with some sort of injection.
I blinked. He fell and was carried off but the three injured men. I was left alone, the one thing I had feared... This was all my fault.
For the millionth time since my leukaemia I faded into an uneasy darkness.
