I woke up , sweating , almost stuck to my bed. I scream was building up in my throat , I heard that buzz again , I had been reading the records and it recorded how the silent brothers talked , I had guessed it was that. As the silent brother had looked as if he were about to talk and then that head splitting buzz , had begun , also I had noticed that I had never had it before , except for when I had entered the silent city. I had been so busy , thinking of this that when I had finished it all came back to me , I couldn't hold it back any longer , the nightmares , or dare I say memories. All came rushing back , I clutched my head as I did , cradling it with my hands in my lap , as I rocked back and forward to keep myself from , breaking down hysterically. I whimpered a few times and eventually sat up , hugging myself , I wiped some of the tears away that had escaped , I heard movement upstairs , voices. Not buzz , but voices! I let that sink in...they'd come for me. I heard , them clunk down the stairs , but no sun broke through the darkness , of my cage yet , or any next to me. It was all pitch black , I couldn't even see anything and I could see much better , than any human. Well I didn't think I was human at least , I heard some thing being dragged across my bars , clink , clink , clink , it went , I hid in , the space under my bed , it was so small , I could feel every twist and turn in the floor beneath me , my shoulder blades bent like wings behind me to allow space. My legs , squashed so badly , I feared that I would get the worlds worst pins and needles after this and I would not be able to run , if I got the chance. The object then ran over the next set of iron bared cages , next to me and then the next , where there in three cages in the whole silence city? I guessed there were only three, as it sounded imitate after metal it hit , a thick large rock substance. " Oh , princess " , the obviously male said in a tone with manace and as if this was all a joke humour. I wanted to get up out of my hiding spot and slap him , the urge was so strong or to kick him in the gut , I breathed in and out to calm myself. He tutted and said , " princess , you really could have made this easy on yourself " , he opened my cage and pulled me out from under the bed , rough enough that I knew it would leave bruises. He then looked at me right in the face and said , " you shouldn't have done that , now should we ?! " He turned and grabbed my hair , which really hurt as it was waist length and proceeded to drag me out of the cage , as he was locking the cage. I saw my chance and kneed him in the gut , running up the stairs. My bad athletics did not really help right now , I heard him , run after me. I had been running for over a few minutes , did these stairs go on forever?
