Savage Reign Quotes

“Where’d they go?” 31 Lesley rubbed her stinging eyes. She couldn’t tell if her tears were from the smoke from whatever the shooter had been throwing around since they left the Doom Room or just plain panic. “Why’d you shoot? Why’re you throwing things? You’re letting me go. You’re making it harder. They could’ve shot us.” She was just saying words. Nothing made sense. He didn’t answer her. And her eyes still hurt. When she lowered her hands, the shooter pulled something out of his pants pocket. “Put this on.” “Put it on where?” The black cloth he held out didn’t give her any ideas. It looked like a limp, dead thing. “It’s just cloth. It’s not clothes. It’s⁠—” “Over your eyes. It’s a blindfold.” “Why? I mean, I know where to go. You don’t need it. I’m doing what you tell me.” Do not hyperventilate. “You’re arguing with me? You saw how that went for Muscles.” Lesley reached for the cloth. “I’m not arguing. See?” Do what he says. Do what he says. She put it over her eyes and tied it in a knot at the back of her head, which pulled on some strands of her hair. “There. I can’t see anything now. Everything’s black. I don’t even know where you are.” She jumped when he gripped her shoulders. Then he turned her around and around—like she and her friends used to do to each other as kids—until she didn’t know which way to walk to the stairs. “Straight ahead.” To where? The stairs to the first floor would be off to her left if they were walking past the labs. Or she’d walk into the rear wall of the building if she was facing the other way. “If you won’t do as you’re told, you won’t get out!” He shouted each word louder than the one before. Her words tripped over each other in her rush to placate him. “It’s just scary when I can’t see. I don’t know what I’m doing.”
