Melina's POV

Millard rang me earlier to tell me Hugh wasn't coming, he had to go save Jake's sorry arse again. Either way, I had to stay here and guard the wights. Miss Avocet was training me in all things peculiar, I wanted to be director one day. My watch room was bland and dark. The lightbulb flickered every so often which made me nervous and the bars weren't as thick and close together as I would have liked but at least I only had 4 prisoners. Unfortunately the worst of them all was here, Murnau. I kept clear away from him at all times. Mostly all they wights did was stare ahead into nothingness. The room itself wasn't hard to watch, just their strange white soulless eyes.

18 hours later, Hugh himself rang me. Apparently Jake ran off again and he needed to help.
"You haven't tied him down yet?"
I heard Hugh laugh an sigh, "He hasn't been around long enough to!" I giggled and twisted the phone line around my finger.
"Stay safe, Mel." I smiled at the nickname he gave me.
"You too, H."
He hung up the phone and I sat back in my comfy armchair and drifted off to sleep.

But I never woke back up.
