Trust

April's pov.

" April! " I hear a voice calling my name.

I try to wake up but I'm still sleepy.

" April! Wake up! " I hear only now it's louder.

Damn! Is a girl not allowed to rest?

Suddenly, I wake up and a sharp pain shoots through my arm.

I take in my surroundings and that's when I remember everything that happened yesterday.

Did it actually happen yesterday?

"April, look at me! " the voice urges.

It is then that I notice a figure standing just outside my cell.

"What do you want?" I say but my voice sounds like sandpaper.

" I'm here to give you some food!" The guard says.

" I don't want anything!" I reply.

" April, please just eat! You've been asleep for two days and you haven't eaten anything!" He pleads.

Did he just say two days? So, I've been asleep for two frickin days?

My parents have been dead for two days?

"So... my parents have been dead for two days huh? " I say while in tears.

" I'm sorry April, they didn't deserve that and you don't deserve this as well!" He says sadly.

" ARE YOU TRYING TO MOCK ME? ALL YOU DID WAS STAND THERE WITH THE REST OF THE PACK AND DID NOTHING WHEN MY PARENTS WERE KILLED FOR NOTHING! THEY WERE BURNED AND ALL YOU AND YOUR PACK DID WAS WATCH AND DO NOTHING! " I say almost screaming while my anger rises.

" I'm sorry April, I don't know how many times I have to say that for you to believe me!" He says sadly.

" sorry will not bring my parents back!" I shout.

" I know that April! But please at least let me try and help you. We both know you are hungry but you are too stubborn to admit it! Do you want to die?" He asks in frustration.

" yes! In fact, I would love nothing more than to die!" I lie.

" well, too bad cause I won't let you! Now eat!" He commands.

My stomach rumbles and the guard has the nerve to smile! Really stomach, you seriously couldn't have rumbled at another time?

" How can I be sure that you did not poison me? " I ask while giving up the pathetic act of wanting to die.

" you can't! All you have to do is trust me!"

Did he just say trust?

" what did you just say?" I ask in disbelief.

" I'm asking you to trust me April. Trust me to help you out of this! " he says sincerely.

My mind goes blank and for the first time in a long time, I'm speechless......
