Salene and Bray:Location Unknown Continued

[_salene_]

(OOC:Continued from HERESalene licked her lips in anticipation, the thoughts of what they had to do to get out of here rushing through her mind. "We're going to have to make it sound the way they want it to, do you understand? We are not going to do anything really, but we have to make it 'sound' good, ok?" Salene hoped he knew what she meant, "I

[_bray_]

"What is it we're doing?" Bray whisperedoblivious to Salene's intent. He looked around the room, the candle was low already, they burnt fast, he wondered how many were left while he waited for Salene to explain.

[_salene_]

Salene sighed and rolled her eyes. She would have exclaimed exhasperatedly but it would have been too loud. "Bray!" she said in a harsh whisper, giving him a 'look'. "Come on, think about it! We have to convince them that this works, that we're going to, you know, give in and join them and give them the one thing they want the most," she looked at him expectantly, waiting for his response. "There are certain conversations and...sounds...things we have to do to convince our captors? So they'll take us out of here?"

[_bray_]

"Oh," he said, then realisation dawned on him, "Oh!" he said, barely keeping himself from whispering. "You mean, you and me after, pretend to you know..."

[_salene_]

Salene watched his eyes as he thought about it and smiled when it dawned on him, the corners of her mouth turning up in her trademark amusement. "Right, shh, right, but we're not going to really do any of it, we just need to make them *think* we are...did..will," Salene kind of looked annoyed and scared at the thought, but right now she'd do about anything to get out and home. It dawned on her that when they "joined" them, they might want to...witness this for themselves but she hoped they'd respect her modesty and privacy. She could hope, right

[_salene_]

Salene felt the tears rolling down her face, trying to keep her composure, and she said nothing for a while, she didn't want to have her voice give her away. When she'd gotten a grip on her painful heart, she wiped at her nose and smiled, "Yes, I want to get out as well, out of this hole, but I think, what they said made sense, and we should join them. Even if you are Bray, at least we can carry on the line, we can make others believe that you are Zoot, and this organization can take off like it should," Salene frowned to herself, the bitter taste of lies and heartache in her mouth. "I'm glad you find me attractive Bray," she tried to make herself sound seductive, her mind shutting off and thinking of Pride, of being with Pride, of everything they'd ever shared, and Bray was no longer Bray but he even sounded like Pride, and she felt herself believing he was Pride

[_bray_]

Bray wasn't sure what to do now... surely they didn't need to kiss, or pretend the sound wouldn't carry on. he couldn't say anything for the moment otherwise they would realise they weren't kissing. He just sat there, stunned within himself at what was happening.

Then it dawned on him, what if they were doing this for nothing, and no one heard, and it changed nothing.

He'd left it a while, "Come let's go to the bed," he said, as gently as he could, and loudly enough for it to be heard, if only this were helping.

[_salene_]

Salene shivered and stood up, following him in the direction of the bed, "Yes, lets," she said, though this time it was unconvincing and she kicked herself for it. Salene stopped when her foot hit the bed, "Oh Bray, take me," she wasn't convincing, she was having a hard time with this, and before she knew it, she was moving away. "No...no I can't do this Bray! I can't give up on Pride! I love him! I can't make love to you, no matter how much I want to have a baby, or how much I want to," she gulped, the words forming a sickening lump in her stomach, "join the chosen, it's too painful to do that with you," she said, tears now really streaming down her face, hugging her arms to herself, her chin wobbling.

[_bray_]

Bray stopped, was he going too far? Salene seemed really upset and it worried him... but if they stopped the act they'd lose their one opportunity. He tried to imagine what he'd do if her were serious, surely he would try to convince her.

"Listen Salene," he said trying to sound soothing, "Remember why we're doing this, we're doing it to get out. We're doing it so you can see Pride and Mouse again, and I can see Amber and my son," he stopped for a few moments. "Besides, it's not as if it's something you've never wanted. This is our chance, in the middle of the chaos that is our lives, and then we can go back to how things were," he really hoped he was being convincing, he felt bad for Salene, if she felt anything of what he was feeling over this.
