Chapter 6: Unknown Act of Mercy

Rae’s POV

“He’s gone.” Mary explains.

I sit up leaning my head back against the wall “Now not even the water is safe.”

Mary worried “What are we going to do?”

Closing my eyes I tried to think of what to do. I’ve fasted for days a few times before in the past so I’m sure I’d be fine, but I’m not sure about Mary.

Even though where I came from there was no such thing as powers or magic, but there was enough of it in movies, games, books and more for me to wrap my head around it. Can I use this so called power? I need to try some how, but how can I without alerting them. I don’t even know where to begin. If I’m caught there is no telling what they may do to me.

After some time the women who ate and drank the water were acting the same as yesterday. The only sane ones left was Mary and I. I don’t know how much longer we can hold out if this keeps up. N
