When nothing eases the pain

Chapter 1

'Why?

What have I done to deserve this?

Why is this all happening?

Why does it hurt so much?

The guys…

Would they hurt them to?

No, please, not them too…

Tala… Not him….

Please, if some one can hear me.

Let some one end this. I can't take it anymore.

It hurts.

It hurt so much…'

Tears are falling down.

A voice cries out loud. But it will never say the prayers that are in his head.

He is young, yes, very young. Too young to be here. Too young to go through this.

But he has already learned the most important lessons of this life.

Never beg, never show mercy, never cry…

Don't love, it will only cause you trouble.


"Alex…"

The name, softly spoken, escapes his lips.

He looks around.

The room is dark and the bed next to him empty…

They must have taken Alex away not so long ago.

'How come I didn't wake up when they came for him?'

Tala looks at his watch. 23u53.

'Hell, I slept for only 13 minutes. How come I didn't wake up? I'm a light sleeper. I hear everything that happens here…'

His eyes widen.

"They have drugged me…" A soft whisper, spoken to no-one special.

'So that's why diner tasted so strange…

Alex, what are they doing to you? Where are you?

I wish I could help you. But that's impossible.

Damn it!

Why is this happening to us? Why us? Why?

It isn't fair…

Life is so unfair.'


"Get in!"

They throw him in the room.

His body falls with a loud 'thud' on the hard floor.

I'm at his side in a second.

I gasp for air. His back is covered in blood. Crimson red blood.

I turn him around. His eyes are closed.

"Alex…"

I can barely get a sound out of my throat.

Why? Why did they do this to you?

You look horrible. Not only your back is covered with wounds, but also your chest, and you have two stab wounds. Your side and belly are bleeding incredibly hard.

I don't know what to do… If you don't get proper help, you'll bleed to death…

But I can't do a thing.

I've never felt so helpless before, and I don't think I ever will…

"Alex, Alex, please, wake up! You gotta wake up Alex. Please, just wake up!"

I close my eyes. Tears are falling down on your face.

Suddenly I feel you stir.

I look at you. Your face shows so much pain that it breaks my heart.

"Tala…"

Your voice sounds weak. Breakable. Vulnerable.

"I'm cold… So cold…."

I take you in my arms and hold you close to me.

Tears are still falling down silently.

"Hush Alex. You must rest. You must get better."

I feel you shake your head against my chest.

"I… I'm not gonna get better Tala."

I hold you closer still.

"Of course you are. You can't leave us Alex. Don't do that to us. We need you. Please, you have to stay!"

I feel you shudder.

"Alex? Alex!"

You look at me. Tears in your eyes.

"Promise… Promise me Tal, promise you will look after the others… Promise you will keep on living… Promise you will keep on fighting. Never give up. Don't let them win. "

You gasp for breath. Your eyes widen from the pain.

"Alex!"

"Promise…"

Your voice is so soft…

I nod.

"I promise."

You smile. A small smile. A sad smile. A smile of the leaving…

Your eyes close. Your head falls down. I can't hear your breathing anymore.

"Alex? Alex? NOOOOOOOOOOOO! ALEX!"
