Faith

My throat is dry. I’m so groggy. Even though it feels like I’ve slept for days I don’t want to wake up properly. I try to lift my arm to scratch my head and it doesn’t move. I try the other arm – nothing. I start to panic, am I paralysed? I start squirming, realising none of my limbs will move at my command.

Start off small, I tell myself.

I wriggle a toe, ah good that works. I fist my fingers and again with the other hand. Okay so I can move but only tiny parts. My eyes open slowly and I blink as they adjust to the light. I attempt turning my head again to take in my surroundings. My heart is beating so fast, a mixture of fear and expectance. Why can’t I move?

Slowly as the haze clears I piece it together. Shit! I’m at Advance Industries labs! They injected me... again! And I’m strapped down. Contained. Helpless. My tears spring free again, tears of frustration and trepidation. How the hell am I going to get out of this one? They have me; I’ll never be free again. Kye? I’ll never see him again; never get to explain how sorry I am. Never tell him I love him and remember. A violent rage seizes me at the thought of how unfair my life is and I struggle against my restraints to no avail.

A door opens, the click of the lock alerting me. Why lock the door? I’m in no state to escape. I try to turn my head to see who entered but obviously I can’t. I sense someone at my side and stop struggling. I won’t give whoever it is the satisfaction of seeing my terror.

“Faith, it’s me. I’m going to untie you. Stay still okay?” He whispers conspiratorially.

Fraser! Oh, great, this just gets better. Will I be forced to sit through explanations about why he lied? Stay still? Is he winding me up? It’s not like I have much option! I don’t answer but try my hardest to frown; stupid straps even stop me from doing that. I try to pull off a scowl or some kind of displeased face but realise he can’t see anyway. He’s busy releasing the metal holdings and then carries on by untying my ankle straps. Once my feet are free I kick out at him but miss and that just pisses me off more. I think he gets the message though.

“Faith please. I’m here to help.” He sounds pained.

“What like last time?” I hiss.

“Do you really think I want to be here? I had no choice!” He shoots back while moving to my stomach strap.

“Oh, sure you didn’t.” But I’m not so sure. Could he be telling the truth? I mean after all he is untying me. Maybe he’s going to smuggle me out somehow.

“Faith I’ve never lied to you. After I was captured I had two choices – return under duress or die. What would you have done?” He asks angrily.
