I woke up with a smile on my face I was finally back at home. I opened my eyes. I was in the dark room again. What? This is a dream, it has to be- I was saved. They took me away from this God forsaken place..! I looked around. I could barely see. Panick was all I could feel. No this can't be happening not again. The door opened to mr walking in. He didn't have any goons with him this time. "Did you have a nice nap?" I looked at him my eyes wide tears were threating to spill. He looked down at me. "What? Did you have a nice dream?" The realization hit hard that me being saved was just a bittersweet nightmare of my brain playing tricks on me. A tear ran down my face. "Aww, don't cry. All you have to do is tell me where your base is then I'll let you go back to them.. after I get my book back" His voice was soft like he was trying to calm a child down. I slowly shook my head, I couldn't speak my throat was dry and I was a loss for words. He sighed "come on puppet, just do this one small thing for me." I shook my head again more tears running down my face. He looked at me for a moment "do you want to die?" My body was shaking I looked up at him and slowly nodded my head. He laughed "too bad, I want my book" then he walked away, leaving me alone. I felt like I couldn't breath.

nobody was coming for me, I had to get out before I died or worse... I huffed and shook my head. I looked around they had put a jacket on me while I was out.. how nice. And they put new rope around my ankles and hands. The chair was medal so it wouldn't easily brake if I threw myself to the ground. I was spacing out thinking of ways to get out. Some goons walked in I looked at them they had knifes. "..here we go again..." my voice was dry, and so they did there thing. some left while one stayed. "What are you doing? come on, let's go get some food."  The goon shook his head. "I'm gonna stay here and do a bit more damage. I'll catch up with you later." Was all the goon in front of me said. I nerowed my eyes at him. Was this a trick? The other goons left. So now it was just me and him. He looked at me, I couldn't see his face. But he whispered a soft sorry to me before He did some damage to me. Then he checked on the rope. I was slid a small throwing knife. It had a paper attached to it. He then got up and left without a word. My mind was racing, why was he helping me? Did the goon give into guilt? I would wait a few hours before escaping. So he didn't get in trouble.

Mr. Had come into the room a few times after the goon had left. Maybe I could kill mr and some of his goons... no I needed the energy to get out of this hell hole. I had some theories that the paper that's on the knife was one of two things.  1. A map telling me how to get out.. or 2. A note from the goon. It was hard to say but I'm hoping more to the first one. I wonder if ghost was ok... he better be.

my eyes were more dull then ever. i didn't speak when mr came in and out of the room. i sighed to myself. they feed me dog food again, and they 'gave' me water. once they were gone, it felt like time was going faster in this room. i looked around, though i couldn't see anything i still looked. goons came back but it was only one this time. It was the same goon from before.. he had a knife and a bag in his hands. "im probably going to end up like you, but.." i narrowed my eyes at him "..but i was there when we captured you. i was holding the other guy.. i know he has the book." my eyes widened " don't worrie i didn't say anything... we did like you said. your men got him, and they left. i assume they didn't have a lot of men on bored." he sighed "because they left. but that's not why im here." he looked away then back at me "im here to help you"

i chuckled "why?" he sighed "i don't like what there doing, and if i help you. they'll kill me.. slowly." he bent down and cut the rope off my legs then my hands. "then why help me?" he looked at me and handed me the bag. "eat, and get changed. there's a gun in the bag, ill meet you outside" i didn't let him leave till i took a good look at the gun he had given me, i nodded my head and he stood out side.

i got changed, it was nice to whare something else for once. i was sore but i could run if need be. there was a sandwich in the bag and i ate it fast. i walked out of the room and he put a hat on my head to hide my face. "whats your name?" he smiled " im Alexei, im a fan of you. its nice to meet you reaper" i chuckled he was a fan? i didn't know i had thoughs. i sighed "lets get out of here yeah?" i nodded my head. i was handed a mic. "get in contact with your team.. there's a blocker on it so 'my team' can hear you." i nodded, he kinda reminds me of someone. i snaped out of my thoughts trying to get in contact with anyone from my team. no luck so far. i looked over to Alexei "how old are you kid?" he smiled " im 19 ma'am" i nodded my head. he handed me something i looked at his hands.. it was his dog tags, i looked at him he smiled. "im already dead. it would be an honor to me if you kept them." he smiled, and i slowly took them and put them around my neck. don't get attached i told myself. " dette er et mareritt..."[ this is a nightmare] Alexei looked at me confused but I just shook my head at him.
