And then simon saw Blackness.
When he woke up for the second time that night with a blistering headache he wassitting up tied to a chair and oppsite him was charlie still uncounisous
"charlie" he hissed "charlie charlie wake up!"
But nothing happened.
Then the door opened and in came a single man who sat on an epty chair he had not yet noticed and snapped at him in the gobldy gooke that was his language
"simon shook his head
"look what do you want? I cant understand you!"
-
The man got up and walked over to Simon. He examined the top of his head and looked into his eyes.
"You need to get out of here!" He whispered "They don't know that I understand you...If you find a way to get out, use it as soon as you can, don't hang around for anyone!"
"But..." The man shhhed Simon and went back to his desk as the door opened and the man was summoned out. Simon looked at Charlie once again.
"Charlie...Wake up!"
-
And then the first or second if you count whatever it was that brought them there mirical of the night happened. Charlie begam to wake up. slowly with alot of groaning but she was definetly waking up.
"Simon?"
"yes now listen to me charlie we need to get out of here"
"huh? yes of course I think Im going to be sic-"
and she was.
-
Charlie bent over and allowed the sick to fall from her mouth. As she had done when she was younger, she allowed tears to drop out of her eyes. She looked up, her eyes glistening.
"Simon, I can't do this anymore!"
-
"Charlie, you have to do this. We have to get out of here now. Who knows when they will come for us." Charlie's tears stopped and she seemed to rally her strength.
"Alright, Simon, we'll get out of here." There was a stubborn tilt to her head that confirmed she was ready to do whatever was needed. Simon closed his eyes for one moment offering thanks that she was no longer falling apart.
"This is what we need to do Charlie."
-
simon started pushing the chair with his still tied feet, Charlie understood what simon was trying to do. She started turning her chair slowly and soon they sat with their chairs facing the other way. Simon's hands found charlies and they started untying the the hands that had been tied at the back of their chairs .
Once free of their restraints they headed to the door
