Clockwork's POV

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We had successfully infiltrated the hospital. Currently, I am running around checking every room in the hospital hoping to find [Name]. The damn file didn't say what room they were in. I'm pretty sure I look like an idiot. But, I came across a hallway with two big metal doors leading into it. It was slightly cracked open so I easily slipped in. Looking down the hallway I saw a big steel door at the end and a smaller door to the left of it, probably to monitor whoever was in there.

I continued to walk down the hall to where the big steel door stood, looking for a way to open it. I walked into the room right next to it. I looked around only to see several TVs which were hooked to security cameras in the room. Looking closely at the footage, I saw a person in the middle of the room with the same h/c as [Name]. I couldn't see their face as they were looking down, but I was sure that was her. I saw a yellow button by the door, to which I pressed hoping it would open the door into that room. Hesitantly pressing it I heard the metal doors start to open. I rush into the room, seeing the person sitting in the middle of a padded room, one thing that I noticed from the cameras was that they were wearing a straitjacket. Was this [Name] really that crazy? I walked over to the person, still not sure whether it was [Name] or not. As I said before, their head was down and hair was covering their face. Walking closer, their head started to lift up. Now standing above, inches away from them, I finally got a look at their face.

It was [Name]. Now looking closely, I could see her eyes much clearer. They were beautiful yet selcouth. Looking down at the rest of their face, I could see she had two large holes on each cheek, revealing her razor-sharp teeth. It kinda reminded me of Toby. I saw that one of her cheeks was still bleeding, I guess it got torn off earlier. Who would do such a thing? I guess I can't really talk though. Coming back to reality, I picked up the girl, dropped her over my shoulder, and ran out of the room.

[Name]'s POV

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I heard the doors opening but I was too lost in thought to look up. When I felt them come near me I looked up. Expecting to see a doctor or guard, I was surprised to see a girl. Stitches starting from each side of her mouth, kind of looking like a smile. One thing about her that caught my eye was her left eye. Instead of a bright green Iris and black pupil, It was a clock. I'd be lying if I said she wasn't beautiful. Before I could say or even think anything she scooped me up and plopped me over her shoulder, sprinting out of the room.
