Freedom

One foot in front of the other. Quicker, you need to move. If you don't you'll be stuck here forever until when they decide your time is up.

Get up Kaida! You're stronger than this. You got this. Move!

I fell back down in frustration. Everyday I'd tried this but I couldn't seem to make my body move. The drugs the fairies use for injuries work wonders, but with repercussions. I stopped taking them for awhile, returning the shooting pain in my spine, but if I got through that portal, I'd be worth it.

Again. I pushed forward putting all my power into my hips to lift myself into a sitting position. With a heave, and a sharp pain stabbing my side I sat, swinging my legs over the side of the bed.

Freedom.

I could see them sending people through the portal, there was a line, and they were briefing everyone. I saw some I'd never met but it wouldn't matter. I would be living, and I would have a purpose. Until I die that is how I want to live. Not stuck here waiting the inevitable.

I begun packing.
