Chapter 6








                       A slight chatter can be heard from inside the room and I prepare myself to

               see the faces that haunt my dreams.

                       Alex, Liam, Caspian and Helena are sitting around a square table each with a

               folder in front of them.  Two empty seats are left obviously for me and Elaine.

               Their chatter stops and they all look at me. Their hands and feet are all bound to

               the chair with metal bracers and I begin to imagine the pain of getting them all in


               those chairs against their will.

                       “How many people got hurt trying to get you all here?” I nervously question.

                       My old team shakily shifts in their seats but Helena speaks up.
                       “We don’t have the time to explain the amounts of paperwork this place has


               to fill out.” Helena jokes.

                       “Especially Cas,” Liam adds in “He’s a psychopath.”

                       “I prefer the term creative.” Caspian barks.
                       “You broke his hand with a light bulb!” Alex screams almost unable to


               breathe due to their laughter.

                       “Liam, why are your hands purple?” I smile.

                       “That is an excellent question.” he replies examining his bound hands.

                       “We missed you Kimmie.” Helena chimes in.

                       My friends look at me all smiling and joking just like nothing happened to

               us.

                       “We all miss him but we have to move on.” Caspian remarks looking down.
