Alone.
Several days have passed before my eyes could even begin to adjust to the complete darkness that fills this room. It sounds as if Zane has given up trying to get out of his room, since I don't hear the pounding anymore. I don't know why the people fear me, they keep saying the words 'Half Breed' then turning around and walking off whenever they are near my door. I haven't eaten since that one meal where the food was just covering the long table, where Zane and I ate to our hearts content. Well, more to our stomach's content. The silence bothers me, but I still do occasionally hear the screams of another boy along with the crack of the whip through the walls of the room that I'm in. I feel something stirring within me, I know it's not something I should be afraid of, but at the same time, I feel that its what makes people afraid of me. Sometimes the feeling goes away and my body emits a strange light. But once anyone sees the light, one of the people who threw me in this dark room, come and beat me with a flog. Every time they do so, they leave me bleeding heavily from my back. I pray that they don't kill me when they beat me with the flog. I'm still waiting for someone to release me from this dark prison.....
