Oh my... yep. I definitely missed something.

There was a creepy camera staring at me in the corner of the room.

Suddenly, the tiking noise stopped and the iron door opens revealing a tall, dark, shadowy figure stood at the door.

The figure just stood there, looking directly at me for a while, until slowly walking in the room, not towards me tho, towards a small wooden desk and a metal chair.

The figure grabs the chair and places it down, probably 5 inches away from the bed.

This person could kill me.

What if they tried to.

What if they succeeded?

What if they already did take away one of my lives while I was incautious?

What if they keep me in this place forever.

All the worst outcomes of this situation played in my head making me push myself into the cold grey brick wall. If it weren't for the handcuffs around my writs, I probably would've sunken into it.

The person with the chair sat down in it. With one of the few torches in my room, it shines bright enough to reveal a masked man wearing a green hoodie- Dream.

It was weird seeing him without armor, I don't think I've seen him without it since we started l'Manburg. That didn't make me any less terrified of him though. Just because he looked unarmed doesn't mean that he doesn't have any tools. Plus the last time I got into a fight with him, (in the final control room) I let my nerves get to me and I panicked and gave up.

We stay in uncomfortable silence for awhile.

"So, um. Are you hungry...?" He awkwardly spoke breaking the silence.

I shake my head side to side slowly, signaling a no.

Him asking me that made me realize how hungry I actually was.

"Are you sure? You've been out all night."

I didn't respond.

"Well, okay. Ill come back later." He got up from his chair and went to go put it back at the desk.

"Wait!" I pleaded.

"Hm?" He turns around.

"Where- why am I- what am I doing here?" I managed spitting out.

He slightly chuckles. "You're staying here until we figure out what's gonna happen with l'Manburg. That's all I can say."

"What do you mean i'm staying here? For how long."

"I already told you, until We figure everything out with l'Manburg."

"Yeah dickhead, I got that. How long."
