Watson's pov

Soon after being thrown in that cell, my younger self wakes up.

Little Watson: Where am I?

Guy: Ah she's awake.

Little Watson: Mommy? Papa?

Guy: They're dead.

She starts crying.

Guy: Oh shut up.

The day is spent with her crying. The people guarding the cells are clearly annoyed. After a while, the guards come in the cell with a syringe.

Guard: This will shut you up.

Guard 2: won't she lose her memories?

Guard: That's the point, if she doesn't remember her family, she won't have a reason to cry anymore. This would affect her entire life but hey who cares. She's not gonna live long anyway.

They inject my younger self with whatever that is while I'm sleeping. When I wake up, I'm different. I'm quiet and I don't cry. Is that what they did to Hannah? How does she still remember her mom then?

I seem to just sit there and obey their command. How sickening. It's like that for three weeks until one day I hear the guards talking.

Guard: Today is the ritual.

Guard 2: Ah finally. Which kid will be the sacrifice?

Guard: Those two in those cells.

Guard 2: We should get them ready then.

They open the cells. The two of us follow their every command. The other kid is a boy that looks to be about 13. They're escorting us somewhere when the boy smirks.

Boy: You just made a big mistake.

Guard: huh?

He uppercuts the guard causing him to fall backward. He takes the guards tazer and tazes the one escorting me. He then grabs my hand and runs in the opposite direction.

Boy: Man you're lucky, you were chosen for sacrifice with me which basically means you're getting out of here with me.

We turn a corner and see the exit.

Boy: There!

We almost make it to the exit when he gets tazed. He falls to the floor.

Boy: Run!

I see my younger's self's eyes widen.

Woman's voice: Run!

Watson: What was that?

Voice: That was what your younger self heard in her head at that moment. She remembered your mom telling you and your sister to run. Though at the time, she doesn't know who that woman is and unfortunately until now, she never knew.
