Chapter 3,
I woke up, chained, in another room. I felt like a psycho who couldn't walk nor talk. I know I am a murderer but I am not psycho! Okay maybe a little then. I bump my head a couple of times against my pillow. I hate these pillows! They feel like stacked bricks! I think about my dad and how he would look like now. Greyish probably and some wrinkles…maybe he has a beard now or maybe he is bald..If he is still alive of course. 2 nurses enter my room. 'Constantine Justine you will speak to the captain. Come with us calmly or stay here drugged.' I roll my eyes. 'I prefer walking' I say dryly.
'Constantine, what is the code we learned you all? And don't say you don't know it!' I look at his young face and ginger hair. 'We do not harm the giftless people, we are family, if you harm a giftless person you will get a punishment.' He nods. The captain doesn't age or something. From the moment I had met him he always had the same half long ginger hair, pale skin and dark circles under his eyes. 'Indeed so what do you think is the perfect punishment?' He asks. 'I don't know sir.' I held my breath. 'Well let me show you then!'
The nurses throw me in an isolation cell. I'm stuck! I hate these rooms! The nurse with the silver hair injects me again and I feel how I get paralyzed again. Jeez how much of this shit do they have? 'Goodnight Constantine' They say and the lights go off. How can I escape this? I keep thinking not noticing someone enters my room. 'Constantine?' Jeremiah? I try to turn but it doesn't work…you know why? I AM PARALYZED. He appears in front of me and giggles. 'Paralyzed huh! I think we should get a stash of that stuff for you and Raymond' If I could've kicked his butt I would've right now…'We will get you out of here but we have to finish the plans…So please try to be careful and try not to be paralyzed..you'll hear from me soon!' He disappears and I am alone again..Why couldn't he just take me with him..?
So I've been waiting for 3 days now and I already broke my promise. A guard was getting touchy when he "checked" me for weapons so I kinda broke his arms…and his neck…So they paralyzed me…again. I almost start to like these injections! I lay on my side with my left arm as a pillow and my right arm on my belly. Really they could've picked better guards. 'Constantine?' Jeremiah appeared in front of me. 'You are paralyzed again aren't you? ' I see his bright white teeth when he laughs. 'Well I can't carry you' He fades away and a while later he comes back…with…tadaaa..RAYMOND. Of course macho dude! He lifts me without any problem and we disappear in the shadows.
'There you guys are! We were worried!' Leila whispered. 'What happened to her?' Mallory asked. I lay in Raymonds arms like a zombie. 'She is paralyzed but that'll be over soon' Jeremiah explained. The only thing is: When will it be over? But until then I will let my slave carry me around, right Raymond, I can imagine the look on his face knowing his horrifying future. 'So I think I can get us to the iron gates, but I'm afraid the guards will notice us…' Jeremiah looked troubled. 'Leave them to me, I can make them change their minds' Sorora, an Indian girl, smiled when she took a step closer. She had the gift of mind control but she has to be close enough to her victim. A shame, really, because her powers could change the world !
'Well everybody hold hands and don't let go before I say so…Otherwise you will end up somewhere else!' Raymond throws me over his shoulder and holds Mallorys hand. 'So exciting' She whispers and giggles when she looks at him.
Will this be the escape we need?
