Missing

Chapter Three

~Part Five~

I woke up again,everyday it's just the same. But now, there's no more sunlight to wake me up,all darkness and silence. At the back of my head, I was planning to escape but I brush off the thought and never dared to think about it again. I stared at the ceiling for a very long time and I sense a presence of someone coming towards me,according to the sounds of the footsteps,must be one of the guards.

"Hey! You have a guest."

After saying those,I heard a loud crank then a thug. I did not stood up,I just stared at the ceiling. I feel weak,I can't move a muscle. I'm too weak to tilt my head.

"Hey! Get up there! He said he's your friend."

A friend? That woke me up,I thought he took them all? Who could it be? I tilted my head and saw the guard looking at me with boredom.

"You comin' or not?"

I stood up,bringing my heavy head up. I walk like a zombie, I went out the cell without even looking at the guard. Just the floor. The guard led me to a lobby which we can talk with our guest,though this is not like a prison. It seems like a prison to me anyways. I sat down,not even looking to who it was in front of me. I do not know if it's a he or she,nonetheless,I still hope it's someone who will believe my story.

"Ray."

It's a woman. The guard told me it's a he.Stupid.She hold my hand but I jerked it away. I looked up and saw the librarian from the huge library.

"Wha-"

I tried to speak but my throat is stopping me,I can't speak right now so I just gave her a questioning look.

"I'm here to help."

She said that with the most faint voice she could ever get. I looked around and saw that all the patients were staring at us. Not exactly me,bur the librarian.

"My name is Loraine,if you haven't remembered."

I just nodded at her then looked back again to the patients which was looking at her with surprise.

"I was just like you. I had been here before. Just like you,my batch was  brought to that island before."

"Yo- the o-only o-n w-ho s-urvived?"

I tried with all my best to utter words. It was blurry and I myself can't figure out those words I said. Not so lately, she stood up. I thought she was leaving but she came back with a glass of water.

"I thinks this'll help."

I drank the water and feel my throat slowly enjoying the water flowing.

"Do you know who took every each of your classmate?"

I know that she's referring the kidnapper. I nodded slowly and she breathed out.

"Not like you,I never got the chance to know who kidnapped my friends."

There was a long pause then she sighed.

"There is a chance to save your classmates. I know they're still out there. I will not make the same mistake again. This time,he'll pay. We will capture him and save your friends."

"It has been two years."

I blurted out.

"Have you receive such notes that is likely from him?"

I nodded slowly again and she sighed.

"It only means he's out there! Don't loose hope Ray. I'll come back."
