26 October 2012
The sound of the bird's singing could still be heard through the prison cell, and that's what awoke me. The chirps descended into my ears, and for once- a smile grew on my face. But it faded as I was to find that I was still here- imprisoned by the menacing creature. And soon that's what appeared. The keys unlocked the prison cell, and the wanter of my affection, followed by Darlod, walked in.
"Breakfast?" He asked. Almost politely.
I didn't speak a word. So he just propped the plate in front of me, and walked of. At least there was no torture in the mornings- I thought. The sloppy porridge reminded me of wallpaper paste. It was so thick and gloppy, that I couldn't even swallow it. I pushed the atrocious mess aside. Instead, I looked up to the prison cell window, and thought. About my parents, my sister, friends and of course Alek. My family was more than worried at the moment. I could feel that. My mother was probably ringing every possible police station, and demanding for searches. My sister, sobbing in the corner when she found out there was nobody lying next to her in the morning. My father, probably taking the lead of this investigation. Shock pouring down him, as his keys 'magically vanished'. My boots gone, satchel and coat. It was all quite obvious- I was in the woods. Where else would I go? They knew me perfectly well to at least suspect a trip to the forest from me. But where? I doubt they would ever notice the prison cell. For starters, I'm not even sure, how it looks like after my black- out. What about my friends? They would be worried too! Alice and Jessica would be more than likely to point to the woods, if asked where they thought I was located. But my information file on Alek was unknown. Until a scratch sounded.
I recognised the tanned, firm hand, scratching at the glass. It was Alek! He was here! I smiled. But I had to keep my exclaim silent. If Darlod or any of the 'master's' slaves were to know, or even the murder himself, I had no chance, and neither did Alek. The finger rightly indicated silence. Then, as if the hand gone forever, I saw Alek. He smiled at me, waving, but again put his hand over his lips. I nodded, and made a zipping motion over my lips to show I understood. Slowly, the hand reached through the window, and a crinkled, piece of paper wandered through into my prison cell hitting the ground. I could already see my name engraved into the paper beautifully- 'Dear Natasha'. I picked it up, and stuffed it into my pocket. Coming up close to the window, I managed to get my hand through the tiny hole; Alek gently kissed it with a smile, and whispered, - "See you soon my Juliet, your Romeo will save you!". Then he ran away; looking back twice, as I blew him a kiss. Because I knew I would see him soon. I knew Alek wouldn't ever break a promise. Because I knew he loved me.
