The Sentencing

(Point Of View): Alicia Klein

My head was pounding so hard when I woke up I could bearly see where I was, my vision was blurry, and sights the lights were off I couldn't see much. I tryed to lift my hand to my face but was immediately stopped, my hands and feet is strapped to a bed "what's going on" my voice was raspy I continued to look around I came to a stop by seeing a pole that had a bag on the top of it filled with red looking liquid that was on the side of my bed I followed the tube that ran straight into my arm "what are they giving me!?" I tryed to sit up but couldn't, I saw more wires attached to me threw out my whole body with little suction cups that placed all over me monitoring my heart rate hooked up to a machine, I could feel myself getting weaker the more I moved I couldn't even make another sound if I wanted too. "click clack" I could hear the sound of a door handle being opened followed by foot steps getting closer to me "ah your finally up, for a second I thought I hit you a little to hard there, haha" giving a little chuckle in amusement. Reynolds and father stood at the side of my bed while a stranger came in checking the machine I was hooked up to "until I know your going to start behaving and listening to who you serve you'll be locked up in a cell, when your transfusion is done will give you one more shot." "everything looks good here" the stranger said and walked back out Reynolds and father did the same leaving me in the darkness again, I tryed to move again but it made me dizzy passing back out fast. When I woke up again I was no longer straped to a bed I rubbed my face as my vision was messed up trying to fix it, I looked around to finding my self in a big cell type room with others along my side in the darkness, the only light was the light above a door up the stairs and another tiny light in the middle of the hallway between the cells. I tryed getting up but my legs was so weak I crawed to the cell door pulling my self up looking around the room seeing everyone else in their cells, "Maverick!" I yelled the moment I recognized his hoodie he had on, when I saw him my voice echoed threw out the cells everyone looked at me but I ignored it looking at Maverick two cells down from me on the other side. I watched him get up slowly as if he was hurt strugging as he grabbed on to the bars "Maverick what happened! are you okay?" "I'm sorry Alicia" I could bearly hear him but he was struggling to talk out as he kept coughing and pausing to breath "if I knew Reynolds was forcing everyone to do it, I would of told you to just leave, if we don't join Reynolds now we will be noting but slaves to our own family." I slid down the bars I tryed so hard to hold on to, but I just couldn't believe what I was hearing "so we get treated like the animals now." I quickly said under my breath, tears started to roll down my face my body felt numb with jolts of shocking pain rolling in and out all threw my body, it felt as if my bone was being pulled inside me. I curled up in a ball at the edge of the cell it felt like hours hearing others cry and whimpers threw out the room until the door up the stairs came flying open, Reynolds and two huge looking guys followed in after him walking threw the hallway he looked at me and gave a wicked smile continuing down the hallway stopping in front of Maverick cell, Reynolds opened the cell "get him" the two men grabbed Maverick by the arms dragging his feet behind them taking him back up the stairs with them. I counted every minute that he was gone distracting myself from my body aching all over, it's been twenty minutes when they came back down dragging him on the ground with a tiny blood trail trailing behind them "MAVERICK!" I yelled as they flew him back in his cell causing him to fly to the wall hitting the ground laying in a small amount of blood now on the floor with him. Reynolds came back down avoiding the trail of blood on the ground while whistling a stupid tune, he stopped whistling when he stopped in front of my cell "if you choice the same answer your poor old brother over there choose, the same faith will come apone you maybe even worse." he walked up the stairs stopping half way "when you two are done cleaning bring her up to the room" "yes boss" they both answered as he walked out the door. "MAVERICK!" I yelled again but still no response I let a few tears slide pass my check before cleaning myself up, "Maverick please, tell me what should I do" "join him" was the only thing he said laying in pain shivering covered in his own blood. It took the men twenty minutes before they were finished cleaning the blood trail away, and the room smelt alot better. They came in front of my cell as one opened the door and the other stepped inside grabbing me by my arm dragging my out the cells, when we got out the door we ended up in another huge hallway going left and right, he dragged me to the right heading down the hallway passing a couple doors until they opened one tossing me inside the room as I fell to the floor hiting my back and head against a metal table. The room smelt like it was just cleaned as cloroxed burned my nose and eyes "get up." was all I heard coming from the other side of the table, I used the last of the strength I had to pull me up off the ground on the metal folding chair and sat on top of it, I looked at Reynolds exhausted whatever they gave me my body can't handle it "is your answer any different from your brothers or will it be the same." I glared at him to afraid to answer his question, I shook my head no once and he immediately took is hand and slapped me off my chair landing back on the ground "waste of blood my brother wasted on you and your brother, I guess I need to teach you a lesson on how to obey your master." he kicked me in the ribs and grabbed me by my neck lifting me off the ground to my feet, he then threw me to the chair knocking it down hiting the wall. Clearing his throat and catching his breath "again ill ask one last time, will you stand by my side or are you gonna be on your knees with your head on the ground cleaning my shoes clean?" I coughed a couple times holding on my throat trying to catch my breath, I layed on the floor slowly looking up to Reynolds after his last words "I will never join you in anything every again" spitting out some blood by his feet he rushed back towards me and kept kicking continuously in my ribs, I tryed to block him with my hands but they were no match for the power in his legs to stop it from hitting me. He turned around heading to the door and opened it "get her back in the cells and out of my sight, she is a slave" and walked out the door, I felt myself get lifted off the ground as my feet got dragged behind heading back down the hallway and down the stairs to the same cell "ALICIA, ALICIA" I could hear Maverick yelling in the back ground but there was no use I was too weak to say anything back too in pain to look up, I felt myself fly in the air for awhile as they just tossed me inside my cell, hitting the ground hard with my head losing consciousness.The cell was starting to become my safe place, I havent seen my father sights this all happend and I havent seen my other family members at all,I wondered if they all agreed to join Reynolds, me and Maverick been down here about five weeks now along with others, we would offen see new faces coming in but we also saw people not come back. We offen get dragged out through the day to complete tasks we are placed to do, we all get beatings and pushed around by everyone else. Maverick was now in the cell next to me, it took awhile for it to happen but we did everything we could to be closer to each other. Til this day I still didn't understand what transfusion Reynolds was talking about, was it that redish bag of liquid they were giving me threw the iv? I grew an inch that was all but I don't know what I was expecting I was thinking if we were to be like an animal you would have strength, better healing property's, some special seeing abilities or something that would increase in a regular person but I felt noting, noting but the scars and pain Reynolds did to me. Maverick seemed stronger and every time he would get hurt it only seems to be hours til he would be better again and if he ate even faster then couple hours to feel better then ever.. It was a late morning as I watched the tiny clock by the door, why haven't guards come down to take me to work yet, two hours past the original time they usually come down the stairs, two guards came to my cell pulling me out and up the stairs, they started dragging me down a different hallway then we usually go down "hey were are we going" but of course they ignored me, they dragged me down to the garages and headed straight to a black limo another guard opened the door while the other grabbed and shoved me inside.. Reynolds sat on the other side of the seat looking down at his phone, we began to drive out from the garages, the moment I immediately shut my eyes as we got outside, being inside for so long makes your eyes have to adjust again to the outside light.
