Four days later 

It was dark out. I had finally escaped from the prison I had once called home four days ago. I never thought that this would be so hard. I'm hungry. Really, really, really hungry. The granola bars had only lasted me a day. My stomach hurt really badly. 

I'm thirsty too. I had drank the last of my water two and a half days ago. My legs and arms are covered in scraps from bushes. My legs hurt from nonstop walking. My feet were covered in blisters. There was both dried and fresh blood all over me. Even worse, I have no idea where I am. 

All I knew was that I was in a forest. To my right, there was lights at the bottom of a steep hill. I'm going to go down that hill I decide. I slowly begin my careful journey down the hill, each step more painful than the other. But before I knew it, I was half way down the hill. I picked up my speed a bit. Perhaps I got a little too confident though, because I tripped over a large tree root sticking out of the ground. 

I yelled out in surprise. I tumbled down the hill, and hit my head on concrete after landing at the bottom. I groaned. My body was aching, my head was spinning and I was light headed. I felt like I was going to throw up. I couldn't stand. 

Am I going to die here? Maybe it was for the best. I could be with Mama again. I would be happy. I smiled at the thought of seeing Mama again.

The world around me slowly became blurry

"Hey!"

Was someone talking to me?

I heard footsteps rushed towards me as my world became darker

A figure was looking down at me, waving. 

"Hello?" The voice was muffled.

And then it was black.

>>Time Skip<<

I woke up in an unfamiliar environment. I jolted up, frightened. There was a small boy sitting on a bed across from me.

"Does anyone copy? This is a- Oh hey, your awake!" He said.

The boy hopped off his bed and approached me. I shrunk back. 

"Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to scare you. Are you okay? I tried my best to fix you up, but I don't know how well I did." He said

I looked down and found that my cuts had been bandaged and cleaned. 

I nodded slowly. I didn't know what he did, but they weren't stinging as much anymore. 

"I'm Dustin, by the way. What's your name?" The boy asked.

I didn't respond. 

"Not much of a talker, eh? That's okay. Do you want some clean clothes?" He asked.

Dry, warm, and best of all, clean clothes would be amazing. I nod.

Dustin smiles. "Okay. Give me a second."

The boy leaves the room and returns holding some clothes. 

"These are some of my old clothes. Hopefully they'll fit." He says, handing them to me. 

I gently place them on the bed and begin taking my gown off.

"WAIT WAIT WAIT." Dustin screams.

I stop, startled.

"Sorry. Just... Here" He picks up the clothes and grabs my hand. He leads me out of the room and down a hall into a bathroom. 

"Change in here. Then you'll have privacy. Oh, you can use the shower if you want as well. Lemme show you how to use it." Dustin gave me a quick demonstration. "Just be quick, I don't want my Mom to find you. She's a pretty heavy sleeper, but it's better to be safe than sorry. I'll be in my room when your done. Okay?" 

I nod again.

Dustin headed towards the door, but then paused as if suddenly remembering something. "Do you want me to leave the door open a crack?" He asked.

I vigorously nodded.

He smiles and leaves the bathroom leaving the door open just a little. 

I undress and then hop into the shower.

Dustin's POV

Holy shit, Holy shit, Holy shit. I think I found another girl from the lab. And I couldn't get ahold of anyone. It was 11:12 pm. 

Ugh. I need something to clear my head. I slip out to the kitchen, got a glass and filled it with water. Then I grabbed a handful of candy bars from my Halloween bag and went back to my room. From the Dart situation to this, my life was once again, becoming crazy. 

I ripped open a nougat and bit into it. One thing I knew, was that I needed to tell Mike. He'd know what to do. But he wasn't answering. I really hope he'll answer in the morning.
