Without knowing the morning rise-up, Axel didn't have a proper sleep, thinking about what happened in his dream, thinking that it would come true, but he didn't know what to do.
Ahhh... I should get up now. I don't know what that means, but I want to warn Mara. Facing the mirror with a serious look on his face.
There was a slow voice coming around in every cell.
Get up!! Now… Breakfast was ready; time to work. Little rats! Voice coming from to a guard that making announcement, his voice is just full of pride.
As most of the prisoner was eager to get out of there own cells, the hallway of the prison was full of people. They need to be fast, they don't want to loss the chance of buying some good meal. As Axel walking peacefully a sudden tap of his shoulder occur. It was his cousin Mike. And emidiately Axel look upon him. Mike was still gazing at him with a mocking expression.
Yo, there, my beloved cousin. I hope you had a great morning. Mike's expression seems to be happy about it.
But Axel didn't respond; instead, he gave Mike a fearing gaze that made Mike uneasy.
Huh?What are you looking at, jerk?!. Never mind, you piece of shit.
And finally they reached the canteen, where all the people got their own breakfast. Axel took a sat on the corner table. He couldn't afford to buy some decent meal because of what happened yesterday.
"Damn it" he said
Minutes have past by on Axel's mind, his stomach begging for food,but he just endure it, causing himself to look at the floor. And suddenly a figure was in front of him. It was his uncle jackson, brother of his father. He look at Axel with a bit of worries.
You look so pale, Axels, with a laughing figure in front of him; it was holding a piece of bread. Here, take your break, little boy; you won't survive this place if you don't have something to eat. With a worried face of his uncle.
Thank you, Uncle Jackson. I barely managed to survive the massacre, looking at the bread that had no taste at all. Then silence. Axel furiously responds again, Uncle... I want to know what my father's belief in this place is.
Better not knowing, kiddo; his uncle's face makes a serious look. You will end up dead before you know the truth.
But still!I want to learn something. This place is different; they killed us without reason, and they take girls and boys with perfect blood, taking them inside the facility. What if something's happened...like what my father's fate. is? What if…we are just…and his uncle hands making Axel's mouth shut from what he speaks?
And silence, sigh... You really want to know the truth, Axel? You better be ready; meet me after you're done eating.
And his uncle left the table with a look that made him feel pressured.
Attention: All the prisoners need to get back in their own cells.
As the voice of the announcement seemed silent, Axel began his walk towards the room of Mara.
As axel made through to a hallway towards to the Mara's room. He stumbled upon a soldier that it seem to be a different. They've cross paths, but Axel remain his composure. And continue to walk calmly. And finally he arrived at the Mara's room, he slowly knocked the door.
"Mara… are you there?" His voice full of worries, he continues, I just want to take a few minutes to talk.
Mara responded with a mournful sound, "The door is open, Axel.".
Axel slowly opened the door with a cautious look and saw her sitting at her own bed, looking at the ground; she wore a white dress, which reflected his purity.
Azel got stunned by the scene he saw: You look good in that dress, words came out of his mouth while facing and seeming to be blushing.
"Thank you" Mara respond with a bit of embarrassment, but she don't express it.
Axel sat next to her and seemed to be awkward by his own actions, Um, Mara... I just…" But instead of warning her of what might happen, he simply changed his words, "Please return safely." Axel said his words,while tears are falling down at his face.
Mara smiled at him and she responds " i promise , i will return to you, even if it takes months or years,I will come back to you."
Mara hugged him passionately, she express her last goodbye to him, as they both cry to each other. Mara slow rose her hands upon the head of Axel.
Words tumbled from Mara's lips, "Yosh, yosh, all will be well." As Mara's soft touch calmed his scalp, Axel's feelings got the better of him, and he screamed in spasms of uncontrollable crying, his face running with the tears like a flood, his body trembling with the desperation of one man who could not endure to lose the person who had given him peace and comfort.
When the quiet arrived, they dried their tears and stood in front of one another.
There emotional moment was being disrupted by a guard, knocking harshly on the door, and swung it open," having good time huh?" Jeering tone by the first guard, Axel tightening his fist, but Mara holding him back,with serious faced on her eyes,"Mara Lane, hereby I state that you will come with us and cooperate in the facility, you will be administered a test which will determine whether you are suitable for the experiment"
Axel's face spread wide with horror as the guard's words were bombastically dropped. Mara was to be tested for the experiment, something she had known from the beginning but had concealed from Axel, not wanting to subject him to the pain now contorted on his face, her own eyes burdened with a deep sadness, a mirror of the pain she had silently carried, not wanting to hurt the only one she loved.
Mara stood and, her eyes cast downwards in resignation, followed the guard, her meager "I'm sorry" swallowing up in the quiet, the realization piercing that she was the one who was going to hurt Axel and the role she played in the ongoing experiment waiting.
"Hey, kid, don't worry about it,she'll be fine on our side." And with a careless laugh, turned and yanked Mara off away from him, leaving Axel to his increasing worry and ongoing speculation about what the guard had really wanted.
Axel by himself in the room now. Nothing he could do.couldn't move.they can't do anything.
