i opened my eyes slightly, and then closed them again. i breathed deep through my nose, that horrid smell was gone. opening my eyes fully now, i was in a different room. the famillier bed and window, this is one of valeks rooms. the room i stayed in the first night i came here. i sat up. confusion hit me.
"was last night a dream?" i said to no one. brushing my hair back with my hand, my stomache ached. im so hungry i could eat a horse.
jumping out of bed, i opened the bedroom door fast to see valek sat on the couch reading something. "what is going on around here?" i asked.
"ah your a wake, nice sleep?" valek said.
"hey mr, tell me who you are. are you crazy? do you need medical help or something?" i said.
valek put his book down, laughing. "now no one has called me crazy before."
i slumped down in the chair opposite valek. "i just want to go home." i said sadly. my eyes started to blur with tears. i placed my head in my lap.
valek stopped laughing. "the commander has agreed to let you stay here in my suite granted i am to watch you at all times and you do as i say otherwise your back in the dungeons." valek stated.
"do you want me to thank you?" i looked up at him.
"no." he simply said. valek stood and moved to his desk, he opened what looked like paperwork and started writing something.
"stay here? i have been here for no more than three days and i have already witnessed murder, been man handled by two overgrown guards and thrown into prison without comitting any crimes. and your offering me a room to stay here with you? i stated, my face burning up.
valek didn't say a word, he just stared at me with no emotion. "how long do i have to stay here?" i asked.
"until you find a way to get home, or when you wish to leave just say so."
"what do i do until then?
"whatever you wish?"
looking around valeks' suite, i couldn't find anything worth doing. god these people don't evan have electricity, what am i supposed to do. how am i going to get home, i have no idea where i am. maybe he has a map, for what exactly i don't know how to read a map. ugh this is impossible, god my life is so screwed up.
i couldn't think of anything to do but talk to valek. flashes of the other night swept through me giving me a shiver. the man just lying there in a pool of blood, valek didn't care, he claimed he saved my life but the man didn't seem dangerous to me. with those thoughts in my mind and no real answers, i mean where i come from if you did that then you would imediatly be thrown in prison for life. valek didn't seem normal to me. oh my god i hope he's not a serial killer, but the wonder as to why i am still alive faded those thoughts, i mean a serial killer wouldn't think twice about killing someone like me.
i wondered over to where valek was sat, at his desk. sitting on the chair opposite his desk i watched him for a while. "valek, why didn't it bother when you killed that man?" i asked. but silently wishing i had kept quiet.
"should it have bothered me?"
"well yes, i mean you took a life, don't you feel guilty or ashamed?" i asked curiously.
"two useless emotions. assassins don't care about people and im not about to start." he simply said, still writing.
"what? assassin? haha no way." i said laughing. assassin? he really needs help, he killed one guy and now he thinks he's an assassin, wow.
"way." is all valek said. it shut me up and i just sat back in my chair thinking about what he said.
having no logical explanation on any of the events that happened these past days, i switched my mind to my clothes. i looked down at myself, fiddling with the dress i was given to wear. "don't you have anything with more colours?" i asked out of boredom.
"no, that is a standard uniform." i could tell valek was getting anoyed with me already.
my stomache rumbled and i realised i hadn't eaten for a whole day, im starving. i wanted to ask valek but the fear of rejection overcame me so i kept quiet but thankful valek heard my stomache. "you're hungry? you havn't eaten anything. i'll send marg to get you food."
"thanks" was all i said.
still in valek's suite i was getting really bored now, i could just die. valek has been sat at his desk doing god knows what for atleast two hours now and iv'e been here just twiddling my thumbs, litterally. my body spred out on his sofa, not feeling any point to move, but i had to do something or im afraid i would say something stupid and get kicked out and have no where to go, ha irony.
"ugh, im so bored!" i shouted.
"then find something to do." was all valek said. i sat up on my knees to face him.
"like what, nothing in this room interests me."
"are you always like this? you are so irritating." valek stated, little rude i thought but he does have a point.
"sorry." i said and turned back round, laying on my back.
"im done now, im going outside to excercise. i have to keep an eye on you and i can't do that if you are in here, so come on." valek gestured to the door. i got up and followed him.
excercise? really hate this place, from all the things in the world to do and i have to excercise. yuk. valek took me outside, the fresh air was nice, better than that dungeon smell. he told me to sit and watch, watch what? suddenly a crowd formed around valek. "who's first?" valek asked. now im curious.
a slim guy stepped forward and pulled out a sword, valek pulled out a knife. crazy people, theyre trying to kill eachother? people started cheering them on, what the hell is going on withthese people. the guy rushed to valek, i cringed. valek spun on his heel, hit the mans arm making him drop the sword and then he pointed his knife at the mans chest.
i got up and started to walk away. i really miss home, these people are different, they do strange stuff and wear strange clothes. i stopped walking when i came to a large tree, still within distance of valek, he has to keep and eye on me and i don't want to end up like the man back in the suite. i feel so guilty like it was me who killed him. i sat with my back to the tree, glancing around, alot of people were fighting and running. i lent back on the tree closing my eyes.
