Room 406, early morning

[izzyalienqueen]

After exhausting herself cleaning and organizing, and then reading until she couldn't keep her eyes open any longer, Isabel finally fell asleep

She wasn't in the cell any longer, or at least not the first one. This was a room fit for a queen, but it was still a cage she couldn't get out of. Her shoulder ached but she wouldn't look at it. She didn't have to. Just by closing her eyes she could see it so clearly.

Pacing about she kept searching for a way out.

"No skipping," she murmured. "Just stay a bit."

"Okay," he agreed, smiling softly. "But only if you try and sleep."

"I will." Isabel burrowed closer, finding comfort in being close like this. "Love you," she whispered.

"I love you, too, Isabel," he whispered back, running a hand over her hair and down her back. "You're safe, I've got you, you're home, and you're not alone."

Being like this almost made everything on Antar seem like a bad dream. Isabel found herself drifting off to sleep. This time, she didn't fight it.
