Jade and I smirked and nodded at each other. Number 004 was here.

"Harry," a gentle and warm hand shook me. "Harry wake up."

"Mm?" I yawned. Slowly my eyes opened and adjusted to the darkness and quietness of the warehouse. Jade stood above me, looking down with a concerned look etched on her face.

"Do you want to do it or not?" Jade whispered.

I opened my eyes widely and sat up, "Yeah of course."

It was her turn to sigh and she stared at me sincerely, "You don't have to do it you know. I won't force you, just tell me if you honestly want to do it. I will not be mad. I just..."

"I do want to Jade. Now let's go."

She got up and went to fumble with the lock on the cell I was in. She let me go in front of her before closing the door shut behind me, smirking. I returned it as we walked around. As much as I wanted to escape, I wasn't going to. Horrible things could happen to me, even Jade or Alice. The thought of it wasn't eating away at me  like I thought it would which was strange. I guess I was starting to get a little comfortable here.

No. I wasn't comfortable here and I knew it. This place still scares me as much as it did the first day I was forced in here. It's just different now and I didn't know why. What was happening to me?

Darkness was not an obstacle. All I had to do was follow Jade, which I did easily. There were some things I stopped to look at but I reminded myself to not leave any evidence that I wasn't in my cell behind. Jade walked around with ease; she already knew where everything was, meaning she could leave her cell whenever and she already has left her cell.

"How come you never escaped Jade?" I asked out of the blue.

"I told you beforehand you dick." Oddly enough, her word did not phase me anymore. On the contrary, I liked when she said it because she made anything sound nice. Made things so pure sound so normal. It seemed like she expected me to take offense into it, but I knew she was just messing around. We've gotten close enough to be able to do that a little more freely. 

The building mostly consisted of the main area where a bunch of tables and our cells laid out. The wall next to Jades cell was a hallway that connected some other rooms. Behind me was also another hallway with supplies and cells. My heart broke at the sight but I maintained my manly structure for the sake of this adventure. A couple of torturous and evil things couldn't come in between this trust bonding right now.

"See what'd I tell ya? They're not that far from us." she smiled. "Oh, there's Number 004. I think he's sleeping." I followed Jade and saw Alice and Number 004. They were both sleeping as far away from each other as possible, in two different cells.

"They look so peaceful." I looked at the two humans before me. Slowly me eyes went more toward the girl that I thought I'd betray Jade with. How did I ever think innocence could save someone?

"Harry!" Jade sternly said.

"Oh what?" When I turned around she was staring at me with dark eyes.

Her breathing increased, "Here."

She handed me a handful of itchy rope and a large stick looking item. In her hand she held a knife that she later shoved in her waistband on the side of her jeans, and a piece of toast. "Get ready."
