shut, locking
me in.
    “ I’m sorry Ellie, but you need to stay
here.” She said, her voice echoing through the door.
    “ No, Rhea, please let me out!” I
shouted.
    “ Listen, they have been injecting you
with something that’s highly addictive and for your own benefit, it
needs to leave your system.” Her voice was so calm and
confident.
    “ I trusted you Rhea!” I screamed. I
repeatedly slammed my fists against the sturdy door.
    “ It’s just for a few days, I’m sorry.”
Her footsteps echoed down the hall and I was all alone,
again.
    When I finished slamming and pounding on the
door, I gave up. I slumped down on the floor and curled up.
    This cell was much nicer then my
so-called other one. There
was a small single bed in one corner and a toilet, and sink at the
other side.
    “ Well at least it has
pluming.” I
thought.
    The room had been painted with blinding white
walls along with the pristine while floor, it felt like being in a
padded cell.
    How could Rhea do this to me, first she
rescues me and now she leaves me? I felt awful, my wrists were
healed and the marks on my neck too, but, I felt itchy and
irritable. I just wanted get up and leave but there was no way. I
picked myself up from the floor and helped myself to some water.
The cups they had were made out of paper. (What am I a child?) The
water was cool going down, and for just a second I forgot about the
nagging itchy feeling. I closed my eyes and tried to focus my mind
onto something else, other than the pain I was feeling. I threw
myself onto the bed and it felt like heaven, I hadn’t felt
something this soft in a long time. I pulled the blankets around me
tight and tried to get some needed sleep.
    A loud noise woke me up. I shot up from
the bed, fearing another leach would be accompanying me. When I
remembered that I was safe, free from their clutches (well if
anyone would call this free?). The
door opened slowly and I waited for whatever was about to greet
me.
    Sophia thanked someone to her right and
walked in. She smiled and placed down a tray that was supporting a
sandwich. My eyes lit up and I snatched it from the plate. For such
a basic sandwich it tasted amazing.
    “ Slow down or you’ll choke.” She
said.
    I took her advice and took my time. Sophia
stood over me and watched, as I tore the sandwich apart like a
savage animal.
    “ I’m sorry it took so long to find you,
Ellie.” She said softly.
    I stopped making a pig of myself and looked
up to meet her gaze. Sophia was wearing one of her unusual outfits
again. This time she wore frilly gloves that traveled up to her
elbows, a tight fitting corset that pulled her in tightly attached
to a ruffle skirt. Where did she get her clothes from?
    “ What do you mean? I was only gone a
few days wasn’t I?” I asked.
    Sophia didn’t answer. She remained quiet.
    “ Sophia, tell me? How long was I gone
for?”
    “ Two weeks.” Her words felt hollow and
strange.
    I swallowed my final bite with a bit of
difficulty. “What?!”
    “ Rhea did not stop until she found you.
It took us awhile but-.” I cut her off.
    “ I was gone for two weeks?! But it only
felt like a few days at the most.”
    “ It’s because of the stuff they
injected into you. You must have been asleep most of the
time.”
    The words passed though me as they meant
nothing. Two weeks I was locked up, it didn’t even feel remotely
close to that. I immediately grabbed at my neck. They had been
drugging me, keeping me asleep and doped up. The words just spun
around my head, until I felt sick.
    “ Are you ok, Ellie?”
    “ Yeah, fine.” I lied.
    I took a sip of water that sat on the
tray.
    “ When can I get out of here?” I asked
her.
    “ It’s not up to me Ellie.” she
replied.
    “ But why, can’t Rhea just heal me?
Surely she can do that?”
    “ I asked her that and she cannot.
Whatever is in your system cannot be cure by magical means.” She
said “I’m sorry. You just have to wait it out.”
    “ But I
