Maxon POV:

It stunk in here. Like, allot. Musty moss and dirty water invade my senses, leaving chill of goosebumps down my spine as we proceeded. If the sight of the bunker weren't enough, you could definitely tell that this was underground.

"Is that the Princy you got there?" A crackle laughs down the hallway, making me shudder.

"Get lost, Katrina." That was Kriss

"What, are you going to turn me in for treason?" Katrina's voice mocks, drawling. "Just because the new boss comes in, favoring you above all, doesn't mean that you get authority over me. You ungrateful little wre-"

The voice is cut off suddenly, with a slight "oooaf"

"I warned her." Kriss sighs slightly, near my left. "Let's keep moving."

The hands grab a firm hold onto me, leading me further into this labyrinth of lies. We must eventually hit a cellar, because the sound of locks and keys running through my ears.

It was almost funny, in a way. This is where it had all started, which the turn of a key. Perhaps it'd be where it'd end. It'd be nice to see my dear America again, when it was all over...

Rough hands shove me in, slamming the door behind me. Frantic, my cuffed hands tear the threadbare hood off of me.

It was almost better /with/ the hood.

The place was filthy and depressed, surrounded by mice and torn fabric. In the corner of the small cell there was a small cot, which most certainly held lice. The cell itself was about 4 by 4, coated in a layer of filth, feces in the corner. I couldn't get over the utter filth.

Hopefully this would all end soon. I couldn't really hope for a bail. No, not from my father. If there's anything I respect about that man, it's his determination. It won't matter if I'm slaughtered on live Tv- he still won't budge.

In a way, I had to admire that. It took rarity to have a skin that thick.

Well....

Rarity and a lack of care for your son.
I try not to let it hurt. It'd been this way my whole life, after all.

Dodging a pile of who-knows-what, I lie down, curling on the cleanest part I could find. I was so tired....and hungry....and so miserable.....maybe things will look better tomorrow...
My eyes shut and I fall into an uneasy sleep.
