LILY POV

                When I woke up, I didn’t know where I was at first. The first thing I saw were the handcuffs hanging from the ceiling. I looked over and saw Carly asleep against the wall. I was confused, until I remembered yesterday’s events. I sobbed, and shifted positions. Now I was crossing my legs, and I leaned forward. Amber and Kristal were still asleep, and Joella and Poppy were awake.

                “Poppy, how long have you been here?” I whispered.

                “A little over a month ago. I was the fourth here, they killed the other girl.” She said softly. Her hair was greasy, and she had dried blood over her nose, lips and chin. It looked like her nose had been broken. She was completely naked, and had blood down one of her thighs. I gulped and sat back.

                Amber stirred a few minutes later. She was skeletal too, but not as tiny as Carly. She sat with her legs out, almost touching Carly’s. I had a few questions for her, but I let her wake up a bit.

                “Amber” I said softly after a few minutes.

                “Yea?” she asked hoarsely.

                “Why haven’t your parents come for you?” I said, hesitantly. She looked down at her feet.        

                “I don’t know, but I think they can control minds.” I remembered what Joella said yesterday, about them reading minds. It just doesn’t seem right.

                “What makes you think that?” I wasn’t convinced.          

                “They can make us do things. Like m-my sister. They made her s-stab herself repeatedly.” She started to sob.

                “I’m sorry.” I said softly.

                “They tried to make her stab me, they messed with her mind.” She said, staring intently at the painted over window. “She didn’t remember me” she whispered, more to herself than anything.

                Kristal stirred, leaving Carly as the only one still asleep. Amber continued to sob. I felt bad for bringing it up. But I still had one more question.

                “How often do they kill?” I asked, not to anyone specific.

                “They don’t have a pattern.” This time it was Kristal who spoke. “They kill when they feel like it.”

                “They read your mind, and have your favorite kill you” Poppy said. I gulped. That meant Niall would kill me, if I didn’t get out of here first. Which I doubt I would.

                “I’m gonna get killed by Louis…” Amber said, her voice trailing to a whisper.

                “And me by Liam.” Poppy said.

                “Same.” Kristal said, looking at Poppy.

                “I was a Harry girl.” Joella said softly. Carly was still asleep, so we didn’t know who hers was. We sat silently again, the trailer still moving. Carly finally woke up when we went over a large bump, throwing us in the air for a minute. I lost complete feeling in my arms. Amber’s arms were the worst, her fingers a sickly white color, and her arms were so skinny, you could see the outlines of her bones. The rest of the girls’ arms were bad, but Joella’s were the least bad. She’s only been here a week.
