Nathaniel:

Pain jolted through me as I awoke to a hollow darkness, aside from a few dim lamps by a shape resembling a door.

As I tried to hobble to the door, more pain jolted through me. I identified the source of pain to be my leg, which was so numb, it didn't feel like it was mine. Reaching down to it, I felt cold metal wrapped around my ankle, but there was something else.

The metal was covered in something wet….it was blood


"The ankle cuff is spiked", a deep, husky voice rang out as a figure emerged from the darkness. My cellmate looked at me with a sardonic expression. His lip curled into a sneer and his green eyes glinted with sadism as he watched me struggle to my feet. He introduced himself as Azazel Morgan while observing my quiet and sombre expression with amusement.

I didn't bother with formalities, but responded with, "Nathaniel Hale, but everyone calls me Nate" and stumbled forward again to the door, but was cut short when the ankle cuff pulled me down to the ground with a crash.


Azazel barked out a laugh and said, "you don't think I've already tried that? Save your breath- and your blood", he added, glancing at the puddle beside my ankle.

Ignoring him, I lunged forward, yet again, but this time I reached for a lamp. The lamp's dim apricot rays gave me just enough light to examine my leg and the metal cuff. As far as blood loss goes, I was lucky since none of the spikes had hit an artery, but to my misfortune, I realized that any more movement of the cuff would push it into a bone.

Before I could do anything else, the door buzzed open and a tray was shoved into the cell. The door shut as soon as it had opened and, without a thought about the door, I sprang at the tray, only to be met with disappointment.
