Chapter 3: Is this Home?
Kaitlyn's POV:
Is he really coming for me? Will he actually find me? Did they leave the picture and the note? I need his warmth and soothing voice… My thoughts are violently interrupted when I am thrown to the floor and finally awake. I look around and realize I still have no idea where I am this room strangely smells of blood and flowers. I realize that I'm in a hospital room surrounded by machines that seem dangerous and I see the threads and needles that have my blood on them from when they worked on my arms, face, and head. The smell off the blood makes me dizzy and I fall to floor in an unconscious state.
Blood. My new sickness, I can't be around it anymore. As I slowly open my eyes I realize I'm not in that room anymore. I'm in a room that is more of a room fit for a rich child. Well at least it's not a concrete floor. I look over at my bed, there lays a note that reads:
Kaitlyn,
You will be kept in this room until you are rescued, which I highly doubt (I will be rescued I know it I think to myself), or until we need you again. Food will be delivered three times a day. There are many bookshelves and closets for things to do. You can't escape on your own; it takes two to get out, one on the outside and one on the inside.
Sincerely,
Spearo (Not Speardo)
Great, how is Jonathan ever going to find me? He is my only chance at escape; I hope he finds me soon. I begin crying and reliving all of my favorite moments with him. Jonathan, please save me… I lie on the bed and drift in and out of sleep.
Jonathans POV:
As I walk in my mom looks at my swollen red eyes and my tear streaked face, she swallows and asks, "Jonathan, did you find anything?" In response I hand her the note and picture. As she reads them her eyes grow wide and her mouth drops open. I see tears slowing dripping from the corner of her two small eyes. "Mom, are you okay? I wasn't expecting you to cry over her. Much less over any of this…"
"It's just I can't believe this poor girl is suffering from a decision she made on her own a few months ago. At the time nobody thought she would be able to go through with it. I guess others had other views on her than we did. I'm going to give her family a call and get them to come down here."
"Wait, mom, what decision did she make so long ago? Go through with what mom? Why don't I know about this, why wasn't I ever told?"
"Kaitlyn decided she was going to lead people into a rebellion against the Justicators. She said she wasn't going to tell you until you were together in the woods. When she told you she hoped they wouldn't find her was because she wanted to tell you first, but they found her before she could tell you… I'm sorry that you had to hear this from me… Don't be mad at her she was only doing what she thought was best."
"I'm not mad I completely understand, Mom, I know people may get hurt but I have to go save her…"
"I understand and I know her mother will too. Now go upstairs and get some rest you will go find her tomorrow no questions asked."
"Yes mom, thank you!" I gave her a quick kiss said goodnight and sprinted upstairs to my room and fell into a deep sleep.
