Snippet #2541847

Ali was in a deep thought, mainly about everything that had happened. What if Carmel hadn't found him? and he was left to die. He might have broke out eventually and escaped on his own hungry and crazed from a life locked away. His hands trembled as they ran up his arms warming then from an unknown chill that suddenly overcame him. A tear cascaded down his cheek as he heard footsteps behind him, he sniffed quickly finding the scent to be Carmel. He wiped his face rubbing his eyes softly as he glanced over to the older man as he sat down beside him.

He listened as Carmel spoke, about facing his fears to overcome them as well as getting some sleep in order to complete the day ahead of them.

Ali turned his head back to the window at the rising sun, how many had he missed? How many sunsets? How many full moons? He thought about his fears, not really thinking of any that came to his mind. Except for the hunters and the basement, infact after thinking about it. Ali didn't know what he was scared of, he knew nothing of the world around him anything could hurt him. Shaking of the uncertain feeling he spoke.

" I don't really recall the last sunrise I saw, maybe when I was little. But I always liked my sleep so I wasn't an early riser like my brother and sister. I'm not sure of what fears I do have, I suppose it's the hunters I'm scared of as well as getting locked up again." He paused for a while before turning to Carmel and giving a small smirk he added. "But your right we should get sleep, I don't mind if you sleep with me, it's nice to have someone there with me. To keep me safe. " he yawned widely and pulled himself up from the floor rubbing his eyes again. " The workouts sound good though, I probably won't be as big as you are but I'd like to be stronger, I don't even know how strong I am now" he smiled again " coming?" He asked before making his way to the bedroom and climbing into bed again, he stared at the wall for a while before falling asleep pulling the cover against him.
