Why?

Chapter 1. Taking

****"Make up your mind kid," he said with a gentle flick of his tongue close to both me and her ear. She looked around and took a deep breath. "Don't do it!" I yelled without thought. She looked at me and bit her lip "I'm sorry…" she gulped "yes……" my eyes widen and they grabbed her by the hair and dragged her. "No Lucy!! No let her go!!" I struggled to get loose of the ropes that restrained me. "I'm so sorry Sherwin I'm so sorry!!!!! Ow!!" She screamed in tears.*****

     I jumped up from the deep sleep I was in it had been 3 months now since I had been here alone with no one but, me. I gasped and sat up it has now been a year since Lucy and I had faced this. In fact, it has also been a year seen I’ve seen Lucy alone. I looked around the dark cell I was in for the past year now maybe more with every look of everyday I can feel it gets a bit colder, but with a sigh I get up and looked around the dark room, with ease I walked towards the cell door.

   The door opened and the same male that took Lucy from me that fateful day stood before me and I asked the same question I do every morning, “wheres Lucy?” he threw his hand across my face with a wipe sound and my head hit the cell door, “what have I told you?! Stop asking that question!!” He looked more angered than normal today it was like a fire had set in his eyes and he didn’t know how to control it with the water in the bucket outside the cell. We just stared at each other he had started to get annoyed with the fact that I wasn't scared of him. “Lucile is just fine, now come on before I lose it on you boy!”

   I stood to my feet and walked close behind him with bare feet. “You shall eat your breakfast get dressed and then meet me in the throne room got it?” my eyes wandered the halls as he spoke. “Yes but why?” he stopped and I ran into him, I backed up and he turned to me. “Don’t question my authority,” he turned and started to walk again and I followed close behind him once more. So close that if I even tried to run away he could just reach out and grab me. This was fine with me, I have been trying to show him that I don’t fear him in any way once oh ever. “Alright then, you may go to Brya and get your breakfast then,” we split off at the end of the hall and I walked to the kitchen area and took a seat at the empty table that was so old it had dust starting to appear on it from only I sitting there. I tapped my foot impatiently.

  "Good morning my fair man," Brya walked in with a passionate smilen as usual. "How might I serve you today?" I stared at him, "I'll take a cup of tea and," I stopped to think about what I wanted, then he stated it for me. "3 pancakes with lots of butter and syrup," he smiled more at how well he had began to know me and I nodded. "That will be here right away my dear sir," he turned and went to the kitchen to make the food I had asked for.
