"So, tell me, what was that voice that you said you heard?" Kai asked me after we had come up with a conclusion as to why he was even in the same room when, apparently, he was the only one out at the job or mission. He decided since he was done with his mission early because some guy was easy to kill, that he should grab some tacos and quesadillas and get back to, and I quote, 'HAYLEY MY BABY!'. He then came to see what all the fuss was about and dragged me and everyone else that was awake into the Narnia Room to discuss what was going on.

"The voice..." I trailed as I took a bite of my taco,"The voice sounded...Unfamiliar. I didn't know who it was or why it was there but it was scary. They sounded like they were in pain, you know?"

Kai nodded as he snacked on a quesadilla.

"I see. Do you remember if it was a boy or girl's voice?"

"Umm well," I went into a memory trance trying to remember what kind of voice it was...In a matter of fact, if I really remember it distinctly....

"It actually sounded like you Kai...Exactly like you."

The sound of crunching tacos and moans to the deliciousness of quesadillas went silent.

"What do you mean?" Kai asked, looking me dead in the eyes with a serious expression.

"The more I think about it the more and more it sounds like you. The more the phrases end up forming something you would've said. The more the voice and all is just...You Kai."

I held Kai's hard stare which was something I wasn't able to do for long. I broke off.

"I'm really worried." Kai's voice was softer, more gentle," The voice was obviously not me and what would've happened if you didn't get cut by the glass and Scarlet didn't take you to Tiger's room?"

"Then I would've freaked out....Passed out....Go to the bathroom....Pass out some more..." I said counting my fingers with each situation I placed before Kai.

"Exactly! And the first time you passed out someone who might've been pretending to be me just might've-" Kai cut himself off and snapped his head back up from the table to look at me.

"Just might've what, Kai? Kidnapped me from my Kidnappers, which is apparently in season?" I asked, raising an eyebrow. I didn't mean to sound blunt but the thing was in season.

"No...They would've killed you. And now I know exactly who did it. They know exactly where we are now. We need to move, we can't stay here anymore. It's too dangerous." Kai rambled standing up from the tables swiftly.

"What? Kai?" I stood up with confusion written all over me.

"Scarlet. Take her. Put her in the plane and please don't kill her."

"Yes, sir." Scarlet answered for the first time sounding obedient. I actually liked that version of Scarlet. Haha, she's like a dog. But humans. A duman. Or a Hog...Yep definitely a hog. Wait. Did he just say please don't kill her?

"Wait!" I yelled struggling as Scarlet put me over her shoulder,"Wait what do you mean please don't kill her?! Kai, I hope you know that the phrase 'please don't kill her' isn't normally something you'd say in a sentence. And with such casualty?!"

Scarlet was by then down the hall and my screams were louder and louder, trying to be heard by a dumb, hot black guy.

Scarlet ran up the stairs as I was still trying to catch my breath from all the yelling. I felt like I was the one running. She kicked open the doors at the very top of the stairs leading out onto the rooftop where there standing was a nice, neat black plane that was shiny and sleek. The bottom doors were open awaiting someone's presence. Val, Mickey and Weuss ran past us carrying luggage. Jack and Tiger ran by carrying medical things and...A big jug of water? Then Peter ran out with a guitar case and several backpacks. He caught Scarlet's eye and ran over to us.

"Hey, can I be put down now?" I asked them.

"No." Scarlet replied.

Peter only laughed at Scarlet's response.

"Scarlet, hurry up and get on the plane. If anyone gets left behind I don't want it to be you."

"Course you don't buckle head."

"Bucklehead? What is that?"

"Don't know." She said slowly walking towards the plane,"Maybe it means idiot."

Before we got on the plane all I heard was Peter's eruption of laughter behind us. He then ran up the steps and got on the plane before us. He turned around, winked and continued to walk. Scarlet started to laugh and she boarded the plane and put me down.

Kai, five minutes later boarded the plane too, carrying nothing.

"Hey! No fair! You made everyone else carry something and you carried nothing! What are you Primadonna?" I yelled. He turned around swiftly.

"Shhh, don't push it sweetie. I just might kiss you one day to shut you up." He winked at me, turned back around to get to his seat. I blinked and went silent. I could feel my face heating up to the point where I would look like a tomato.

"Well, would you look at that? I don't even have to kiss you to make you shut up." I heard Kai say from behind me. I shivered as I felt his hot breath skim over my neck.

"Wha-wha...I thought you were over..." I pointed to where I saw him go. Which was in front and not behind me.

"I'm a wizard, Hayley." He said and turned around in his seat.

My eyes widened as the plane soon started to take off and I forgot that we were even in one. I started to get comfortable in my seat and looked at the person in front of me. Scarlet. Who was looking at Peter who was sitting next to her. The two were engaged in a very meaningful convo about where babies come from.

"No, they put the mother in an ice cream maker and...BAM! There's the baby."

"Are you implying that we're all made out of ice cream, Peter?"

"That's exactly what I'm implying. Why do you think it's hard for cannibals to stop eating their own kind? Because they figured it out already."

"Are you saying that you're a cannibal?"

"No, I'm saying I get their distress. Although I would just say go to an ice cream parlor and that'll solve all your problems."

Suddenly the plane took a dip and we were falling. My vision got blurry and my head dizzy.

"Grab onto something!"

"What's going on!"

"Brace yourself!"

"Someone get the goddamned parachutes!"

"There are no more parachutes!"

"What the hell do we do now?!"

"Why are we falling so fast?!"

And finally, my personal favorite.

"Edei!?"
