章節 3: Hates Promise

Wednesday, i had not been fed in three days. My stomach grumbled painfully. I rubbed my stomach hoping it would relax a little. I froze hearing the sounds of what sounded like an old man cursing out a gaurd. i looked up to witness the gaurd throw the old man in a cell and smash him in the face with a molded peace of bread. "You want to steal old man? Eat this sh*t you broke f*ck." The gaurd slammed the cell door shut and locked it. I shook at the vulger language. The old man picked up the molded loaf and smiled a bright smile. He sat down on the stone bed and was about to take a bite when he looked to see me huddled in the corner covered in bruises and bandages. My hair was covered in mud and I was still covered in dry blood. I shook a little when his smile turned to a serious frown. The silence broke when my stomach growled loudly. I fake laughed and quickly buried my face into my knees. Why must he tease me by holding it up to his mouth and just staring at me. "you poor thing." "..." Silence once again fell. I heard something and it sounded like clattering. "Eat." I looked up slowly to see the old man with a soft smile carved into his face. His hand steady through a bar if my cell with the small, molded piece of bread. I stared into his soft eyes and hadn't even realized tears were falling down my eyes. Not a single person has shown me kindness, Onyx...Onyx never came back, he left me to die here. This old man...this skinny old man who looks like he has not eaten in weeks offers his only food to me. I shook my head and was hit by a sudden feeling of exhaust. My eyes felt heavy and I couldnt tell if my body was hot or cold. He noticed and chuckled a bit. "I eat everyday little one, please." I took a deep breath and slowly stood up and slowly limped closer. I looked into his eyes. He was being honest, his eyes were filled with nothing but honesty and worry. I gently took it and broke off a piece and handed it to him. "Thank you" I whispered weakly. He smiled and nodded then sat down happily and ate the small piece. I smiled untill I heard the slam of my cell door. A gaurd lunged at me and I fell back from shock. "Your not aloud to have any food!" He screamed at me and slapped me. The kind old man yelled at him to get away from me. He got up and snickered. "Shut up old man." I hugged the bread tightly as he started kicking me. He kicked me repeatedly till one sent me flying and straight into a wall. My head went blank. Whats going on? Whats this pain that repeatedly stings all over my body? I coudn't remmeber and my vision was completley blurred. I think, am I dead maybe? I felt something in my arms and I hugged it tightly, gripping it so hard my fingers dug into it. Out of my blurred vision I saw a bright light, suffering, i suffered so much and its only been a coupe days, please take me, I'm ready for whats on the otherside. I looked to the blinding light to see a gentlle hand reaching down for me. I started to feel peace and all the aching started to fade. It all suddenly hit me and everything was back as my eyes flew open and I couldnt breathe. I was being held down into a bucket of water. When I was pulled up they held me down. I was confused to see the old man looking at me with relieved eyes as I was shaking and struggling to breathe as I threw up water. It was now dark and the meadow where I was held down had fireflys. I My breathe had finally set it's normal pace as a gaurd held a sword to his neck. "Eat little one." The gaurd then chopped off his head. I couldn't control what I was doing. I instantly pushed the gaurds away and ran towards him screaming no and crying. The gaurds hold on me was gentle since they knew I was weak. they were suprised making them hesitate, but they lunged at me and held me back down as I kept screaming out to the old man. "How could you leave me!?" Tears burned my cheeks as they dragged me back to my cell. They threw the molded bread at me. "The stupid old man offered his life in return for you to eat." I gave out a small breath and I hugged the bread. As the gaurds left I looked up to the cieling. "Thank you." i had whispered with tears and a few small tears as I took a nibble. "Thank you so much." i closed my eyes savoring the taste. Once again my eyes flew open as I felt it torn from my hands. The gaurd from earlier stood there. "Heh, die you waste of a life." i got up as he slammed and locked the door shut. I screamed and reached through the bar. "Please!" I yelled at the gaurd as he walked away with laughter. My teeth clenched as I fell back into my corner and cried with my head burried into my knees. "Please" I whispered to myself.
