People are liars, they say they are afraid to die. They are doing experiments, running crazy tests, and even freezing their bodies just to save themselves from dying, but if they want to live forever, why would they put themselves in dangerous experiments? Dying isn't what they are afraid of, it's losing everything they have been working to achieve their whole lives. If it's not true then I want to ask them, I want to ask them is more terrifying than staying alive because here I am waiting for death to meet me
I am crazy, I am insane, I can't live, I don't have strength in me to die. There is no way out. I am caged in this place. I am caged in myself, it's suffocating but I can't break it, I can't die from it
Concrete, concrete, concrete everywhere my eyes can see is concrete. One concrete bed, two concrete beds in the cell, one concrete table, one eight feet concrete bathroom, concrete, concrete on the ceiling, concrete walls, concrete floor, concrete concrete concrete everywhere I look is concrete

Three months and four days
I have been here for three months and four days. I wonder if anyone else remembers we are here for three months and four days. I wonder if anyone counts days by writing one word one day
No, no one does it. No one but me. I have a paper and a pen. I write him. I write his name, his name with my hands daily. I am waiting, waiting for him to come but I know he can't. He doesn't know where I am, I don't know where I am. This is somewhere else, this is not that place- this is not Throne of Demon.
This is some other place, more frightening, more dangerous. It's deep, deep in the forest, deep in the land, a prison, a prison behind the club. I don't know where I am, I don't remember anything.
I'm going to get crazy, crazy, crazy
A thunder woke Isabell up, she was never sleeping but her lifeless body couldn't differentiate between life and death. Mostly her body stayed on the wall but at some rare times she stood up and walked in the cell. Her cell was twenty feet long and she would already fell at the twentieth step.
It was a prison, she was in a prison,
There were many cells but only three of them were occupied. The long wall neighbors at least a dozen cells.
"Walk fucking straight!" Someone yelled, Isabell stood up. Her feet were barely moving yet she walked to the door and her hands lightly held the bars "Move your feet faster" The guard yelled again. Isabell could see now. She knew who those people were and she knew whom the guard was yelling at. A boy, he had gotten thinner within three months. He had bright eyes and blond hair. The boy was once an enemy of her and she despised him but now he had become a friend, a real friend
"Can't you hear me?" The guard shouted at Jade again, they were two guards, one of them looked younger while the other was older but both of them had emotionless faces and they were holding him.
Isabell looked at Jade and he started back. Hiding from the guards Isabell raised an eyebrow, she was trying to ask him something. Jade blinked in response and Isabell took a relieved breath. Getting her reply Isabell walked back to her place and sat along with her bed.
The cell was large, it was double the size of the cells in front
Isabell's bed had a mattress but the other one didn't. There was a girl lying on the other bed, she was staring at the ceiling. Isabell knew that you were not supposed to stare at the ceiling because there were no boxes on it in the prison. It was a dead concrete ceiling. She wanted to tell Arine but then Isabell found herself doing the same thing for the entire day.
She wanted to stop her from looking and talk to her. Maybe both of them won't get crazy, maybe someone could survive. But Arine didn't listen because Isabell never told her. Isabell was afraid of hearing her voice and she didn't know the reason. She spoke so little and sometimes she wondered if she had already lost her voice
Arine was sick. They didn't know what she was suffering from but she had been having seizures. Jade was still working with them, and one of the reasons for it was to get medicine for Arine. From time to time the club will let him out with guards to make deals. Jade always managed to run to a drug store and get some pills for her.
Isabell hated it, she hated to see her friends hurt but this was the only way to keep Arine alive. She hated herself even more every time when Jade came back filled with bruises and would be thrown in the cell again.
His cell was in front and there was one more person in the neighboring cell of Jade. A wrecked face whom Isabell had hated for years. He always try to talk to them many but all of them chose to ignore him, keeping his existence an illusion
No one talked much. Once in a blue moon they would gather near the doors of their cells and talk a little. Arine didn't talk at all, she was the weakest of them and won't talk even when the guards left. They were still unaware of the reason for this blessing in disguise but the guards left for half an hour in the evening as well as in the morning.
Isabell spent her day with closed eyes and a blank mind. And once again all she was doing was hoping for one more day to pass and then her eyes fell open. The numb guards were already gone, she left the floor and with some unsteady steps she walked forward
"Jade," she whispered, "Did you get her medicine?" Isabell asked and Jade moved to his side of the gate "Yes, but they will last only a week" he sighed "I had no money, just my- ring- ring and I was able to only get these much for it" Isabell opened her swollen eyes wide, she was shocked by his words "You sold your mother's ring?" The words felt horrible. Jade had already lost so much, he could run away but he was staying for them and now losing one of the most precious thing was hurting "I- didn't have anything left- I didn't know what to do" he replied, Isabell pressed her temple with fingers, shook her head to sides with a feeble movement "I'm sorry, Jade, I am so so sorry for it" She said in a low voice. Jade didn't reply to her and didn't even say okay expressing the level of distress his body was bearing. They had lost everything and every hope
"Did- did you get caught?" she asked looking at his injured face "I thought I was fine" Jade leaned against the iron bars "I told the guards that the deal will take half an hour to be fixed. I got it done in ten minutes and left for the pharmacy but those freaks were trailing me. I was lucky to buy the medicine but when I stepped out of the store they caught me and beat the living hell out of me" he laughed aloud, a sad laughter announcing his misery. Isabell didn't speak she never had any words to say and she stayed silent
"Izzy, I'll throw them now" Jade said turning his face toward her, Isabell nodded, moving her hands out of the frill, there was a couple of meters of distance between their cells and Isabell still looked confident to catch it. Jade threw the pills towards her. Isabell moved her hands forward to catch them but his throw was weak and they fell midway
"No!"
"No!" they yelled
Her medicine rolled between them and it landed near the other cell
"I thought you will get good with it in three months but you are still so damn fragile" the guy from Jade's side cell mocked. They ignored him "Why are you putting so much effort in saving her when she gonna die in a month or something" he spoke again and they didn't reply "You should be collecting things for her funeral or—"
"Can you for once, stop being an ass, Ethan?" Isabell felt a burning sensation on her tongue when she spoke that loud "Well I would hate to do that, Isabell. Let me enjoy my time with you in here" he smirked, it was evil
While Ethan continued spitting nonese the other two went silent upon hearing the voice of boots again
"Throw him in there" Isabell's spine got stiff upon hearing this voice, it belonged to Lethal and Isabell was shivering by it. Just a second later Lethal came into view, two guards walking behind him and one was holding a boy by his arms
A young boy who didn't look more than ten, the boy was wearing a long shirt and a trouser of the same fabric, he had brown skin and looked like an immigrant to her "That cell" he said pointing at Ethan's cell. Isabell stood straight. She thought she had some power left when she tried to move her lips but she failed, she tried to speak again
"Lethal" the word was like a throne ruthlessly attacking her lips. Lethal's anguished face lost anger when he looked at Isabell "Yes, Izzy?" He moved to her with a grin on his face. "What is a child doing here?" she asked and even her voice sounded terrified of him "You don't need to know, My dear" he moved closer to her, and even with the distance of iron roads she still stepped back "He- he is just a- a child" her voice started to shiver when she saw him getting closer and the rods were helpless to save her just like her own self "You don't need to know" he repeated
"Put the boy in that cell!" His voice thundered as he turned again to the guards "Yes, Alpha" they replied, and dragged the child with them. Isabell heard how the guards just addressed him and she wanted her ears to be just hearing things
"Izzy" Lethal was standing in the cell now, he had unlocked it and was in front of Isabell with no rods. She moved back, she took her steps back and in no time she already walked twenty steps and reached the wall. No matter how much she pushed herself against the wall she couldn't get further away from him. Lethal walked closer "My dear, I have something to show you!" He sounded excited and Isabell was now scared to death.
Lethal moved the last step forward. He tilted his face and showed her the back of his ear. It was a tattoo, Isabell had seen the same tattoo on her brother. It was at the exact spot and the same tattoo of revolving circles
Her eyes stretched upon seeing it, her body stopped struggling to get into the wall "I became the Alpha, Izzy. I got the second highest rank in Death of Demon" He laughed in excitement "What?" Her mouth said. Isabell did not want to ask what happened to her brother because she knew she didn't care about Xavier anymore but still, there was a feeling of sting in her heart "Yes! You are the first one I came to give the news to, My dear. This is the best day of my life, Izzy" His hands cupped around her face, Isabell squeezed her eyes she seemed to lose her breathing. Maybe stopping the breaths would leave her lifeless maybe she would be able to escape this place and Lethal if she died but it never worked "No, no, I can't do this" Lethal said removing his hands from her "I can't- can't touch you if you don't allow me too" he stepped back, shaking his heads to sides "Gentleman enough" Isabell snorted she was mocking him and was still frightened
"Give in, Izzy. Please, be with me and let me take care of you. I have power and I can protect you from everything, I will save you from every danger, My love. We can live a happy life together"
"In your dreams" she said, Lethal took a step forward, his hands grabbed her face again "Please, My dear" he smashed his lips over her, hands tightening around her face. Isabell pinched her lips and with all the strength her weak body had she moved her face aside, his face fell over her neck
Isabell breathed heavily but she didn't cry. Lethal lifted his face "I'm sorry, Izzy" he moved back "I am sorry, My dear, but I can't- can't control myself" he moved further back, shaking his head. Isabell stayed quiet, her eyes remained closed and then he left locking the cell again.
Isabell fell to the ground, Jade looked at her with pity and Ethan got silent too.
In the hush a silent tear rolled down her eyes, she rubbed her hand over her mouth vigorously, trying to get rid of every sign he had left
Arine stood up in her bed for the first time in days. She looked weak, her feet rubbed the floor, she got to Isabell and without saying anything Arine sat beside her and hugged her. In seconds Isabell broke down in tears. Her body shivered with unbearable pain and her sobs were the only sound echoed in the prison.
If that was the definition of Love then Isabell wanted to rip every mouth saying that word
