~Mini's POV~

I was watching y/n play video games with Liam, when Lily told me to follow her. She was leading me to y/n's guest room, which was the starting point of where it would all go down for the first three days. Y/n was staying with us until she got better or remembered us. We entered her room and immediately Lily went straight to the closet in a rushed manor. "Mini grab those blankets on that chair over there and pass them to me," I looked to my left side since I was still in the door frame. I found the f/c looking chair holding the blankets underneath a window. I walk over to the other side of the bed and grabbed the blankets.

Before I went to the closet, which was opposite of the wall of the door, I grabbed a spare pillow and took it with me. Walking to the closet I could tell Lily was making sure the blankets would fit. I hand her the blankets and pillow one at a time. Looking into the closet, I could see blankets on top of strong, stiff looking tub containers. This took up half of the closet. The other half of the closet was filled to the brim with clothes, shoes, and boxes. Why is she making a bed? Lost in thought I didn't hear Lily say she was done making the makeshift bed. Looking at her I realized she was done and stepped back. I watched as her form stood up and walked out of the closet. Just before she exited though she checked to see if the lock would work. I helped her by hiding inside the closet, locking it and waiting for her to attempt to open the closet.

She tried to open it from the outside but failed. Then, she told me I could come on out. I opened it slowly being careful not to slam the closet door open. When I was fully out, she closed the door and started going over the plan with me. "Alright when Brian and the other two proxies try entering her room by force, she enters the closet as you call her. If we're lucky she listens to what you will tell her before they start testing her and doesn't pick up the phone. She'll go straight to the closet," she says point to the hiding spot. "I've made a makeshift bed so she can rest while she waits for the crack of dawn or me to get her out in the morning. Do you understand Mini?" she said. "Yes, I do," I reply.

"Do you remember the plan?" she asks me. "Yes, after you leave the house, I help start the plan by letting y/n close all the windows and locking all the doors. Then I lead her to her room by candlelight to set the mood. After she's in this room, I give her a tip to hide in the closet if anything happens. Then I close the door, head over to the playroom next door and the window to that room. Once my friend Brian and the other two proxies are in there, I let one stay here while the other two are led to my room and y/n's room," I said with ease. "Yeah, and the one that stays in this room will watch the cameras to watch her reaction.

"And how long does this last again?" she asks me. "Four days...?" I said unsurely. "But...?" she continues. "But... on the fourth day I lead her to a different room, I sleep with her, and when they start their mission for day four to make her remember, I lead her out of the house and test her memory of survival. Once she remembers that, her memory will come back, and she'll remember us," I say thinking of how happy we'll be when she finally gets her memories back. "Mini I know you miss the old y/n right now, but you need to focus on this task first," Lily says with worry in her voice but also truth. "I would do anything to get back y/n's memory," I said with determination.

"The proxies will start with her room. They already know where she's going to be sleeping and the first-floor layout," she informs me. "Okay," I hum in response. "Let's go to the new playroom we set up. We need to make sure the proxies have a starting location and a meeting location in the same place in this house," she tells me. "Alright," I follow her to the room next door closer to the beginning of the hallway. We enter the playroom next to y/n's room. As she shut the door behind me, I started to wonder something. "Are you sure we should have the room so close to y/n's room?" I asked Lily in concern.
