Papa came into this room.

"Seven, how do you feel about a one on one lessons?" He asked.

I couldn't even bare looking at him. "That would be great, Papa." It took all of me not to show any bitterness in my voice.

"Very well."

Now I was sitting behind a table with wires all over my head. Peter was in this room with me because Papa ordered him to.

"All you have to do is perfectly place these blocks on top of each other without it losing balance."

I nod sharply and begin to move the blocks. Once I was finished with it, Papa congratulated me but really this was all to easy. Not in the bragging way. But all these lessons were easy tasks to complete and he knew it.

"Can I go back in the rainbow room?" I asked politely. Papa nodded, "Yes. Peter, escort her."

Both of us left the room and walked down the halls.

"Do you really think it'll work?"

"Yes, I believe in you. You're smart and strong-both of you." Peter says making me crack a tiny smile.

"I just want to say, thank you for helping me see clearly." I thanked him. He just looked at me while continuing our walk, "You're a special one, Seven. Don't forget it."

Once we made it into the rainbow room, I went in while Peter didn't. Sitting beside Eleven who was coloring, she asked if it was time yet.

Looking over to the clock, I said no. A few minutes passed and now it was Ten who was going for a lesson with Papa.

"Now it's time." I say putting my hand behind my head and a hurting face while walking up to the guard standing by the mirror. "My heads starting to really hurt again."

Eleven came up to us, "Mine too. I feel dizzy. It's the light. The light is hurting my head."

The man took in a deep sigh and lead us to the nurses room where Two was still recovering. When we saw the man opening the door to the room, I took Elevens arm and rushed back over to the locked doors.

I took out the ID card that Peter gave me and scanned it so the doors could open. Then we went down the many stairs, leading us to the basement of this building.

We searched around to find Peter but something went off and it caught us off guard that I stumbled back into someone's chest.

Peter held up his index finger up to his mouth, "Quiet. Follow me"

He led us to the back of the room. He took out the gate out from the tube like thing. "You'll escape by going in here, all the way to the other side."

"But you're too big." Eleven points out.

Peter sighed a little, "I'm not going with you. I meant what I said about this place being a prison. You're not the only prisoners in here. The guards, nurses, me." He looked deeply into my eyes.

I shook my head no, "I won't leave without you, Peter. I just won't."

He put his head down and hand to the back of his neck to show us something, "Here." It looked tiny implanted in his neck, "Can you feel it?"

I touched the back of his neck, just the feeling of us was unpleasant.

"This weakens me, it tracks me. Even if there were another way out. Most definitely, he will find me. If he finds me, he'll find you. I can't let that happen."

Eleven and I looked at each other. "What if I make it go away?" Said Eleven, "You helped me. I help you."

Now Peter was sitting on the floor with his mouth gripping onto his tie to squeeze away the pain while Eleven stood up with her hand up. It wasn't long until she successfully removed the thing from his neck. Peter went over to pick it up, "Who knew something so small could cause so much trouble."
