Without realizing it, Deidre had fallen asleep. She was sleep deprived as it was, which explained why she could fall asleep while such horrific things happened outside of the room she was in. She was jolted awake when a vent cover fell to the floor. She looked up in horror and saw a pair of legs leaving the vent. "STAY AWAY!" Deidre screamed. Sheriff Wendy quickly dropped out of the vent and ducked underneath the window, out of view for the other prisoners. "Shh." Sheriff Wendy said. "I'm not gonna hurt you."
A look of recognition crossed Deidre's face, and she scowled. "Of course there's still a copper in this joint. As if this couldn't get any worse." Deidre said. Deidre didn't have the best experiences with Sheriff Wendy. She was known to be one of the nicer guards, but something about her rubbed Deidre the wrong way.
"I'm here to help as much as I can, okay?" Sheriff Wendy said. Deidre didn't nod, considering she thought it was bullshit. "Why are you even here? Everyone else left and locked us prisoners in here to rip each other's throats out."
Sheriff Wendy looked up at the window just for a second to keep a watchful eye out, before coming back down into hiding and saying, "my psycho ex boyfriend knocked me out and left me in here."
Deidre almost snorted, but stopped herself. She then looked at Sheriff Wendy and said, "Karma's a bitch, copper."

The chaos stopped at around 5pm. Everyone that had been causing the riot were either dead or got bored. A total of 378 prisoners died during the riot, most of which being in the pit. There were a few survivors though, including Georgina & Sidney.
The moment that Georgina & Sidney hit the ground, Georgina quickly grabbed the unconscious Sidney and dragged her underneath one of the tables in the pit. No one would see them hiding down there in the midst of all that chaos. Georgina fought back the urge to scream when a man fell and was trampled to death. She heard every crack in his body. Sidney was the lucky one. She was unconscious for the heavy shit. Georgina had to keep checking on her to make sure that Sidney indeed was still alive.
Georgina, as much as she hated it, decided she would stay underneath this table for as long as she could. She didn't have to constantly run from enemies within the prison, and if anyone came by, she would play dead. Once Sidney woke up, they could plan their next move.

Charlie was smiling. He looked down at the pit with the bodies. The sun was setting, and it was now 7pm. The chaos had calmed down, and seeing the glorious destruction of so many lives brought Charlie joy. Just like when he strangled that coworker and slit a guys throat when he tried to stop him. It was his divine right.
Charlie noticed small movements from underneath a table, but ignored it. It was their divine right to bask in all the glory, just as much as it was his. Charlie knew he was going to survive. He just had to. And his repetitious thoughts said yet again, "It's my divine right."

"The Box" was now inhabited by eight people. We have Deena, who had a bruised hand from killing the guy holding her back. Ramos, who was saved by Miguel from nearly being raped. Snow White, who was mostly unharmed, besides a bruised shoulder. Miguel, who was now deciding to stick with these girls he had met. They seemed chill enough.
There were three more inhabitants in The Box. Sheriff Wendy, Deidre, and a man named Roman Cook who had nearly been injured and ran to the women for help. They took him in and headed to the box. The two groups of four and three had of course encountered each other, but they seemed to have an unspoken agreement not to cross one another.
There was also one solo person, named Maria Ortiz. Maria, the old head dog on the women's side of the prison. Maria, the one Skinner had beaten in a fight. Maria was resting and trying to gather up as much strength as she possibly could. She wanted to kill Skinner herself, even though unbeknownst to her, she'd have to get in line next to Deena & Ramos.

If we looked on the male side of the prison, we would see a similar state of disarray, with bodies lining the hallways. It was unfortunate that O'Neill was one of these bodies. He just didn't care that much anymore. As O'Neill would have said, "this entire situation is pure tomfoolery."
It had been quick, just a quick shot in the back of the head by none other than Mara Calhoun. She killed many others, contributing a massive portion to the 378 deaths that had occurred during the riot.
Two more of these bodies were people we had yet to know very well, Onell & Stokes. They were a part of Skinner's crew, and they had their throats ripped out by one of the prisoners that had decided to begin experimenting with cannibalism.
Theo, Teddy Bear & Jonny Middleton sat in the library alongside Nigel Holt, who at the moment was holding them hostage.
"Tell me Teddy boy. What are you gonna do for me so that I don't slit your fucking throat?" Holt asked, grinning an uncanny grin that would haunt Teddy for the rest of his life.
"I will never join you fuckers." Teddy spat at Holt. Holt grinned. "Is that so? You seemed pretty jealous of Rush's status in the male side of the prison. You knew you never stood a chance against Rush. So, if you can't beat him, why not join him?" Holt asked.
Jonny's jaw ached like crazy, and he felt like it was on the verge of ripping clean off. He could taste blood and could feel his nose begin to bleed as it trickled down his lips and onto his pants.
"What about you, Jonny boy?" Holt asked, looking at Jonny. "Jimenez fucked you up pretty bad in the pit yesterday. Wouldn't you love a chance to get fixed up and even the score with him? Join Rush's side, and that is a possibility." Holt said.
Jonny had to admit, the offer was tempting, but he didn't want to betray and abandon Theo & Teddy Bear like that. They had taken care of him when they had absolutely no reason to. Jonny stayed silent.
Holt then glanced at Theo, who was shaking. "Awww, is Theo mad that Rush fucked him upside the ass with a broom handle?" Holt asked tauntingly. Theo felt himself boil with rage as he spat out the words, "fuck you." Teddy & Jonny looked at Theo with horror. So that's what Rush did to him, Teddy thought to himself.
"Just like Rush did to you? Fucked you? Did you like it? Careful there Theo, I heard from O'Neill himself that faggots go to hell." Holt said, grinning and showing off his gleaming white teeth. Theo wanted to punch his lights out. But, Theo knew that Holt wanted a reaction, and he wasn't going to give it to him.
"Now, if you aren't going to join, just know that you will be granted no favors, and when this prison comes down with Rush at the top, you'll go down with it." Holt said, before leaving the library. Tears streamed down Theo's face, and Jonny & Teddy hugged him as he sobbed.
