Once I woke up, Sam was awake to, watching TV again, but she noticed when I was awake.

"Hey, you get good sleep last night?"

"No, I woke up in the middle of the night," I said, as I shifted in my bed, and tried to get up. I closed my eyes tight though in the pain as I sat up. I was even sorer today then yesterday. I then tried to stand up, and I closed my eyes tight and took a deep breath then got out of bed as fast as I could. Once standing, I was really sore, and I realized that Vlad was right. He told me I was going to be sore, and he was right. He was on purposely making me hurt though, and I knew it. He said he wasn't scared to hurt me, and he definitely wasn't.

"You Ok?" Sam asked, sensing that I was in pain.

"Yeah, I will be fine."

I then heard the door click open, and Vlad was standing there.

"You are awake finally. Would you like to use the restroom?"

"Yeah, sure."

He waved his hand directing me in the direction of him, and I did as he said, but I moved slowly, and every step hurt like hell.

"You are sore, aren't you?" He asked me once we were in the hallway.

"Yeah."

"I knew you would be. That is why I said I was being nice to you, since you get the day off. Tomorrow you aren't coming to training either, but you are going to hang out with Sasha all day tomorrow to get used to her."

I was relieved that I had gotten to know her a little at least, and it didn't bother me as much. At least I wasn't going to get killed training with Vlad.

Once we got to the bathroom, I went in, and looked in the mirror. My hair was all messy, and I looked miserable. My face didn't even have the normal expression on it, but that was probably because I was trying to keep a straight face, since I was in so much pain. I lifted up my shirt, and there were bruises on my chest, and I turned around, and there was a huge bruise on my back. Looking at it made it feel even worse than it really did feel. I then lifted up my pant legs, and there were even more bruises. Pretty much my whole body was one big bruise, and that would explain why I was hurting so much.

"What are you doing in there?" Vlad asked me suspiciously.

"Just looking at my bruises," I replied honestly.

"Ah, yes, I was guessing you would have a few."

"A few? More like all of me is a big bruise!"

"You will live, it will toughen you up."

Yeah, nice way to toughen me up. I went to the bathroom, and washed my hands, then looked at my back once more. My back was what hurt the most.

I then left the room, and Vlad was standing there waiting.

"All right, lets head back to your room."

We went back without another word, and he locked the door behind me once I was in the room. I sat down on the chair next to Sam, and it hurt so bad to have something pushing against my back. I shifted around in the chair a lot, and couldn't get comfortable.

"Danny, are you going to be Ok?"

"Yeah, I should be fine, I guess."

"I hope you do," Sam said, and she leaned over and kissed me on the cheek, then sat back down in the position she was in.

"Aww, so cute!" I heard someone say and I turned around and then realized what I had done and it hurt so badly. I whined a little, but not much. It was Sasha, and I should have just known that, but it was a natural thing for me to turn around when I heard someone talk. I wasn't used to Sasha talking, so I had to turn around.

"Oh, I'm sorry if I startled you," she said in a soft voice.

"It's Ok, I'm fine."

Sam looked over at Sasha, and she turned right back around to the TV. I could tell she didn't like Sasha at all, and I think it is because she doesn't like me around other girls at all. She doesn't like me talking to them, or even look at them, mainly because I think she wants to be with me, and she doesn't want anyone else interfering.

"What's wrong Sam?" She asked her, since she must have noticed she didn't like her being there.

"Nothing," she lied, and you could tell it was a fake voice, and it had an annoyed touch to it.

"It doesn't sound like nothing."

"It's nothing, I just don't want to get in the way."

"You won't get in the way. Don't worry, I won't steal Danny from you," she laughed, obviously sensing what Sam was thinking about. I blushed, and Sam turned around to look at her. She didn't say anything, but she gave her a weird look, and then turned back toward the TV, trying to ignore what Sasha had just said.

"You don't have to be embarrassed Sam. I just want to be your friend. And Danny's friend but just a friend. I know you like him, and I would never try to take that away from you."

Sam had heard her most likely, but now she was blushing, but she never turned her head from the TV. She was pretending as though she didn't hear what Sasha was saying, but she was listening. I laughed a little, and then made Sam put her hand up to the side of her face that I could see, as though blocking her face from us being able to see her.

"Sam, stop being a baby. You know you heard me."

Sam turned toward us, her face totally red, and she said, "Yeah, your right."

"Ok, I'm sorry for barging like this, but I wanted to see how you guys acted together, and I couldn't help but say that."

"That's nice to know that you are spying on us!" Sam yelled at her.

"I'm not spying on you. Danny came in and talked to me yesterday, so I thought I would come in and check out how you two were together."

"He was talking to you last night?"

"Yes, he was."

Sam gave me a dirty look, and then folded her arms, and faced towards the TV again. Now I knew she was pissed at me. Sasha left after she had made Sam mad, and then I was left there for all the blames.

"Danny, why were you talking to her last night? Why didn't you talk to me?"

"I didn't want to wake you up!"

"Danny, you know I would wake up if you weren't feeling good," she said, and it didn't sound like she was mad, it sounded more as though she was just worried about me, and as though she wanted me to know she was there for me.

"I didn't know for sure."

She turned the TV off, so that it wouldn't distract her, and she turned in my direction.

"Danny, why didn't you just wake me up? It wouldn't bother me. I'm not mad at you, I just don't get you sometimes."

"When I would wake you up at home…"

"Danny! We aren't home! Things are different! I would wake up now, especially if you couldn't fall asleep. I care for you Danny, way more than Sasha does."

"Sasha was awake though, so I decided to just talk to her. I am going to have to get used to her anyway Sam."

"I know Danny, it's just that I still would rather you come to me than to her, sleeping or not."

"I'm sorry Sam, I just thought of home, and how grouchy you got, and I never though of that."

"Don't say sorry, I should be sorry for yelling at you about it. We should be happy right now since you get to spend the whole day with me."

I smiled, happy that she wasn't going to argue with me anymore.

"It's to bad that we can't do anything though," Sam said, "Being stuck in this room sucks."

"Yeah, your right, but I don't think we would be doing anything today anyway. I can't move anywhere!"

"Poor Danny!" she said, and then reached over and gave me a gentle hug.

I laughed, and she started to laugh too, "Oww, don't make me laugh, it hurts!" I joked, even though really, it did hurt really bad because my rib cages were so sore, and so was my stomach.

"I'll try and not be funny for the rest of the day."

"Yeah, I'm sure you will."

"So, do you think we should make another plan to escape?"

"No, I think we are best off staying here. He will hunt us down every time we leave. And I think that next time, he won't be afraid to kill us if he gets the chance. He can't let us get home, because he is afraid that I will tell my parents, and then it will be all over."

"Yeah, but we weren't even heading home."

"He didn't know that though. He figured that is what we were doing."

"Well, he was wrong."

"Yeah, and the only reason why I didn't head home, is because he would try to kill our families too."

"Yeah, except for you mom, right?"

"Yeah."

I moved in my chair a little, because sitting in one place to much hurt so badly. I was totally stiff today, and it was hard to move.

"You can go lay back down if you want."

"No, I will stay here. It is worse when I lay down, then I can't get back up."

"Ok, was just letting you know you don't have to sit here."

"I know I don't have to, I will do what I want," I teased.

"You know what Danny, I enjoy being here with you for the whole day. It seems way different than at home, we seem more close together."

"Probably because we are all that each other has right now."

"Yeah, and because for some reason, I still feel scared."

"Same here, Vlad isn't normal."

"You think?"

"Yeah, but I am trying to say, that he could just decide to kill us all the sudden, with no warning. He is a whacko."

"Yeah, I know. I wouldn't worry though Danny, he wants you for something."

"Yeah, and he is allowing Sasha and I to go outside without him supervising. He has you to keep me from going anywhere."

"Danny, I still don't trust her. I could see her running away with you, and leaving me behind."

"Sam! Would you stop with that? Sasha doesn't like me! We have to work together, if I had the choice, I wouldn't work with her either, but she is nice. She won't go anywhere either, because somehow Vlad keeps her around. For whatever reason, I have no idea."

"Probably because no one else wants her. She isn't a trustworthy person."

"To you she might not be, but I think that there is nothing wrong with her."

"Ok Danny, lets just stop talking about your new friend, and try to enjoy ourselves."

"OK, lets do that, because I don't feel like fighting today."

We didn't even get to another topic, and Vlad opened the door.

"Ok you two, get out here so you can eat lunch. Today, I am being nice and letting you eat lunch, because in a way, I feel bad for you Daniel," he said with a grin on his face.

"I'm not hungry," I told him.

"You didn't eat last night either, are you planning on killing yourself? Starving to death? If you die, then Sam dies, because I will have no use for her."

"Fine, I will eat, but I don't trust your food."

"Daniel, why would I want to kill you?"

"Not killing me, I am just scared to eat anything you have made."

"I didn't make it, Sasha did, so if something is wrong with it, you can talk to her about it."

I just ignored him, and I tried to get up, but I was once again extremely stiff. Sam stood up, and held a hand out to me. I smiled, and took ahold of her hand, and she helped me get up. I could barely walk, but I still could. Sam and I held hands on our walk there. Vlad noticed to, but he didn't say anything amazingly….

OK, that is all for now, I know, it kinda just ends in the middle of nowhere… but oh well! 5 reviews pls!
