A million things went through my head. What would he want to know from me? Still, I responded,"Um, sure yeah. Anything".
He took a deep breath and asked," I don't know if you heard all they were saying about me being a killjoy," I nodded. I'd been listening at every chance and he went on to say," Yeah, well it's true. You know about the killjoys, right?"
That's when I got nervous. I really didn't know that much about anything, anymore, but he would obviously be the one to tell me. I was determined to look anywhere, but his face. I didn't want to see his expression, when he took in just how clueless I really was.
"Um. Slightly," I mumbled.
I couldn't tell how he took it, but he questioned," Oh. How did you get here, then?"
Just the question I'd hoped he wouldn't ask. On the verge of tears I choked out ,"I, I don't know,"
Now was the worst of all times to cry, but I just couldn't stop myself and to my surprise he strode over and hugged me. He was SUCH a sweetheart.
He held me tight and sincerely responded," hey, it's okay. I know how scary these places can be. Shit, I remember my first time here. It was scary as HELL. Can you tell me all that you know and all that your remember? And then maybe I can fill in the blanks for you."
So, I sat there and told him all about my life before I woke up here and all the stuff that I'd overheard these past weeks and when I told him what I'd heard about Party Poison, he told me all about the killjoys. Apparently, there's lots of killjoy groups, but theirs in particular had about 5 more guys and one very special girl with electrifying blue hair named Controversial Mayhem. He told me all about Korse and BL/ind and what their awful industry did. It was like the freaking Matrix. He boasted that this was his fifth time in BLI prisons and he wasn't worried because Party and Jet Star were already working on a plan to bust him out. He told me about his life before BLI blew up everything and tried to control the whole population with their medication. The pills gave the illusion of a perfect utopia, but that wasn't the case.
"So i have one more question." he said.
"Ask away,"
"Seeing as you knew so little about the killjoys, how did you get your name?"
"Well, Korse knew your real name, and he knows others, so the way he talked about them, i assumed it was something that basically showed you were a killjoy and you were proud of it, and upon finding out the killjoys were a rebel group,i was definetly proud to be against BLI,so i named myself Insubordinate Sedative, you know what it means?"
"Nope."
"Inubordinate means rebellious, and Sedative means calm or soothing, so it's like opposites, but not and I really think it suits me. Don't you?
"Yeah, it does, it's badass," He smiled
He was so generous, I asked so many questions and he answered all of them without a problem and when all the questions were answered we were both in some serious need of some sleep. He was already sitting on my bunk and it was pretty cold in the cell, so that night we slept…next to each other.
I woke up in the morning to the sound of boots thudding down the empty halls. In a hurry, I pushed at Ghoul to get up, but it was just too late.
"Aww. How cute! I see our prisoners are getting along just fine," Korse said maliciously to the Draculoids flocked on either side of him.
Ghoul finally woke up and sat straight up, but the two dracs pulled him up and kicked him brutally in the stomach, and he fell to the ground, writhing in pain. I wasn't gonna just let them get away with this, so I kicked one drac in the face, leaving the other in total amazement and I threw him to the ground. Did they really think I wasn't a threat? Well, big mistake on their part, but just because I got two draculoids, I had no room to brag and I still wasn't in good shape. Korse came running in and pinned me to the wall, but it doesn't take a genius to know how and where to cause a guy a lot of pain.
I kicked him right in his most vulnerable spot, and again in his face. I grabbed the raygun from his belt and looked back to Ghoul's shocked face.
"Well, don't just stand there. Here I don't know how to use this," I said tossing him the gun," Let's get out of here," I winked and we sprinted through the halls of BL/ind, praying to God we got through this alive.
