The door is open, the guards are not able to move and there is no reason to panic. But that's what I do. I panic. What am I even doing here? Saving a stranger? As soon as I think about leaving, my heart begins to scream at me. No, I have to save him, I have to know what the hell is going on in here. I take a deep breath in and then start to walk towards the door. Julia and James follow me quietly. Sector 3 is a very creepy place. It looks more futuristic than the other sectors and is two times larger. The neon light is extremely bright and I start to get a headache. Where are they keeping him? "Stop!" I pause my steps and look at James, he turns invisible and then seems to walk away. I glance at Julia but she just shakes her shoulders. A few seconds later, James makes his self visible again. He seems stressed and begins to hurry to tell us what he saw. "Two guards, we should hide, not run." The options begin to rush through my head, but hiding is the better one. We're too close, we can't risk getting caught. I nod and then try to think about where to hide, but James just grabs my shoulder and then an electric feeling rushes trough my veins. Suddenly everything looks like its under water and I can't focus my eyes. What is happening here? I turn and look at Julia, but she just points at the floor again. I turn my head and try not to scream. A guard is standing right in front of me, two meters and he would notice my presence. I hold my breath in as he comes closer. James is pressing me against him, then it's over. The guards begin to leave the sector and were alone again. In the next moment James lets go of us and my eyesight normalizes again. "Thank you." He nods and then we start to look for the boy. I feel extremely anxious. My hands shiver and I can't stop them from shaking. Everything will be okay, I promise myself. We are going to free him and then... I haven't  thought about what were going to do afterwards. My panic increases and the light seems to get brighter and brighter. I am about to tell the siblings to leave when Julia spots a cell. And when I say cell, I mean it. It looks like a large box, made out of glass. Inside is a bed, a chair and...the boy. James is holding on to us again, so nobody can see us but I want the boy to see me, so I look at James and he gives us free. I turn visible and the boy notices us in that moment. He looks up and our eyes lock instantly. Those eyes that look like honey stare into my soul and I don't know how to breathe, I don't know how to speak and I don't know how someone can be this beautiful. He looks so...clear. Like a blue sky without any clouds, white sand, a feather. He is stunning and when he sees me, he seems to be mesmerized too. He jumps up and presses his hands against the box. I don't know why but my hands seem to do the same thing, so I hold onto the glass. He laughs and a single tear leaves his eyes. "Were going to get you out of here." Thats when he notices Julia and James. The siblings look at us, not sure how to react. Its stupid and I wouldn't know how to react either but it feels like a reunion, something Ive been waiting for a whole life. Julia looks at me and then at the boy. "I can use my power to free him but the alarm will go off. We have forty seconds to leave." I look at her and nod. She breathes in and then her eyes turn green again, her hair starts to float around and I am mesmerized by her. The wall of the box vanishes and the boy jumps out of the box, then the electricity rushes through Julias body, James is catching  her and the wall materializes again. But all I can think about is him. He looks at me and I look at him, not sure what to say. "Ive been waiting for us to meet again Via."
