( As normal read, enjoy, review. )
Jade was laying wide away, laying next to Punk again. She was not sure how many days she had tried to stay on the floor away from him. It was getting too cold & her joints stiff. She remembered him commenting she felt almost like an ice cube, when she finally did allow him near her again. Plus there was only the one blanket so even Punk we feeling the cold some himself even if he didn't voice it to her. It seemed like a cycle of Punk getting the other withdraws she would hold him trying to get him to ride through them, they would calm down but a few hours later the heated feeling would start growing. She had no clue how often they happened, but based on his one tray of food a day theory between once a day to as bad as three. Most of the time Jade did get away from him. She would get to a spot outside his reach & just be stuck there hearing him. She may have been able to not see him, but hearing him was different. How can something be so disturbing yet arousing at the same time. Punk when in these fits of sexual…she wasn't even sure what to call them did not seem shy at all that she was the source of his fantasy. His calling for her, begging for her…his heated moans stirred her at times no matter how much she wished they didn't. Even if Punk didn't hurt her too bad during their 'fake rape', she was not going to leave this ordeal unscathed.
She couldn't just lay there her mind wandering over the last few days, she got up from the bed needing some sort of movement. She had her jeans back so her legs weren't so cold at that moment. She cursed herself knowing they would be damp from her thoughts of the man she was stuck in this space with. She had to remind her self that not only was she married, but no matter how much Punk plead with her, begged her…those feeling were at least partly brought on by the drug still coursing through his system.
Punk when he woke knew the spot next to him was empty now. His eyes opening saw Jade as she lowered back to the ground she placed the soles of her feet together her hands on her knees & her eyes closed. Her breath gaining a slow rhythm. He wanted to ask what she was doing, but something told him quite is what she wanted to needed. His guess was it was some sort of meditation. Maybe something he needed to do & haven't in a while. He slipped from the bed the sound of the spring caused Jade's eyes to open.
"It's ok Jade…I'll move over here…When you start doing meditations?"
"On & off for years even though I never really learned any real technique till I was over in Japan. I wish I had thought of using it sooner in this place."
"But then Kane made you begin to have to worry about me."
"I could have gone to my safe spot."
"Maybe…" Punk sat away from her moving his legs more into the traditional Indian style placing a hand on each leg as he closed his eyes. Meditation, focus, discipline all traits or technique trained in most fighting disciplines. His Muay Thai wasn't any different & he could of kicked himself not relying on his training sooner, then again the poisons Kane had pumping through his system he wasn't fully thinking straight. Jade watched him a while seeing how his breathing was changing slipping into a light trance like state she returned back to her own.
Punks breathing started to get faintly labored as he was feeling another set of the shakes coming on. He tried to fight them pushing to focus on the calming center point the mediation allowed. He was determined to beat back the demons that were ripping at his soul, the demons of addiction Kane placed like unseen shackles on him. Every time he started to look down on himself he remembered her words 'You may have an addiction, but you are not an addict.' He would beat this, he had to beat this. He was not sure how long he fought it before the shaking stopped & the pain subsided. The pain may not have fully gone away, but he could manage it. A silent pray through his head that even if not directly Jade held his hand as long as he needed it, but also showed him the key to control it himself. Inside he wondered if it might work on the other pain he knew he would feel later.
A few hours later Punk actually tried to sleep again his body feeling drained from fighting itself that day. Jade heard the door opening, she was almost glad for it feeling the hunger pains. She opened her eyes slowly standing. Dillia had a set of sweats setting them on the end of the table. She motioned to them & then Jade. "Thank you." The woman nodded before leaving.
Jade made her way to the table sitting to check out the food. She looked at Punk debating waking him. No he was actually asleep at least for now without the need of the shot or her contact with him. Her eyes looked around the room but then shook it off, having cameras on you, you always get a feeling of being watched.
She was eating shaking her head trying to fight the lightheaded feeling. She wondered if it mean she was there longer then she thought, that or was the stress making her burn the hormones faster. She set the fork down she was eating with throat began to feel tight trying to cough. "Pu-punk…" She squeaked out. She went to try to stand. Her legs wanted to go from under her as she tried to move towards the bed "Pu-Punk…He-help." He grumbled in his restless sleep only to really wake when he felt something shake the bed. His eyes opened seeing Jade on the floor slumped against it her head & chest partly on it. One arm under her the other on the bed.
"Jade? Jade?" He quickly moved from the bed grabbing a hold of her. He laid her back of the floor she was wheezing trying to get breath. Her lips were swollen. "Jade try to relax…" He said looking down at her then he looked around the room. "DILLIA! KANE! PLEASE!" The wheezes became more like strangled gargles. Punk looked down taking her hand, her body shaking. He reached to feel her neck, the muscles were so tight. He lightly ran his hand along it hoping to loosen it some how. He had not even heard Dallia came in the room till he saw her kneeling on the other side of Jade. He tried to take a deep breath himself when he saw what he recognized as an epi-pen. Daillia poped the top of jabbing it into Jade's leg. Jade's eyes started to close the lack of oxygen getting to her. "Jade try to hold on, you should feel better soon…please hold on. Her body growing limp passing out.
"Jade…JADE…Come on." Dillia tapped his shoulder getting his focus. She motioned to her lips, then Jade's. "Breath for her?" She nodded. Punk gulped before leaning over gently trying to open Jade's mouth that was also slightly tight. He placed his mouth over her lightly trying to push air into her system. He wanted it hard enough to try to work past any obstruction, but not to hurt her. He would give a few breaths then pull away a moment to see if there was a change then go back again. It took a few times before she started to cough her eyes trying to open. "Thank god…" He spoke her eyes moving to him. She jumped feeling her arm touched on the other side. Punk looked over seeing Dillia had one of the syringes. "Please don't put her through what he made you put me through…why now?" Jade turned her head looking at the woman.
"That to help the effects?" Dillia nodded. Jade lightly licked her parched lips. "Even if you are lying cause you were told to…not much I can do." Jade sighed letting the woman take her arm putting the syringe into the IV feed pushing it in. Dillia got up & moved to the table removing the tray before walking out. Jade gave a faint gasping sound but assured Punk she was ok, just a little drowsy. He moved to lift her up moving her to the bed placing her under the blanket. Punk turned seeing the food tray gone, he thought he saw it before. Well he now knows what happened. Kane said he didn't know how Jade would react to that drug he used on the food, today must have been the day they tested it & got a bad result. Looking back over she was already passed out.
He hoped what ever the second shot was it was really part of the treatment for the bad reaction & not just something to place her to sleep. He moved to sit on the floor next to the bed. He went back into his meditations from earlier in the day. He knew he had to fight through anything that came his way as Jade was in no condition to help or fight him.
