"Definitely. Just be sure to get your sleep walking under control."

"Of course, thank you."

And with that, he started the car.

I watched as the trees flashed by my eyes in a snap. I was staring off into the blue. I didn't know what to do.
Everything is just confusing to me. Was I really just dreaming? I must've been. There's no way all of that happened. Some... rabbit helping me and a fat little turd of a bear? It just couldn't be real. Roxy couldn't have saw anything. Teleportation? Can't be possible. It isn't. I tried to get it off my mind by just taking a deep breath in and out. I was just dreaming.

"Is this your bag, miss?"

"Hm?" I looked over at the cop, who was nodding towards something beside me.

"Oh, yeah, that's mine."

I picked it up and sat it on my lap.

"You left it on the ground. Make sure not to lose it."

"Of course, I was just sleep walking and doing weird stuff." I sighed.

"Definitely, haha," I felt the car slowly come to a stop. "Well, we're here."

"Already?"

"You don't live far, it seems."

"How did you know?"

The cop sighed as his hands scrunched in his lap. He turned towards me as his eyes softened.

"I'm your dad's brother."

"So, you're my uncle?"

"Yes." He replied.

"Oh, I never knew... I don't think I ever met you before." I was shocked.

"I just came back from my old town I lived in. It's nice to be back home after so long."

"Wow."

"Yeah, I remember when you were born at the hospital."

"You were there?" I asked, curious about what my uncle had to say.

He thought for a moment.

"I don't think I was at the hospital. I just know that I saw you when your dad got home."

"Ohh," I shifted the bag around my shoulders. "Well I'm sorry I never met you until now."

"Hey, don't worry about it. I'm in town now. Call me if you ever need me." My uncle shook my hands with a clean smile.

"See you!"

"You too! Be safe..."

I got out of the car as I looked at my house. It was as still as it normally was and was filled with comfort and warmth. Safety from the outside world. Everything was nice. Everything was peaceful. The grass was overgrown with weeds and beautiful, bright, saturated flowers of all kinds. The smell was sweet as I watched a honey bee fly around the flowers. It was nice to know that the world was still warm and burning with life. Better than whatever I was dreaming of.
The roof of my house had leaves and a perfect, clean coat of brown.

"Mom and dad are going to kill me when I get home." I sighed.

Yet it was so beautiful. The mess was quite a sight, but I loved it. Besides that, I don't pay the bills here. I should definitely get it cleaned up by tomorrow afternoon. That's all I have to say.
I walked inside my home, taking a look back. My uncle was no where to be seen. Probably had went back to the police station or driving around to watch around the neighborhood.
I closed the door and saw that there was some dust on the floor that I have to sweep. It wasn't that bad. It was just a speckle of it.
Setting down my bag, I rushed for the kitchen. I felt my stomach twist and turn— painfully. I never gotten this hungry before— ever.
How long was I there asleep? It didn't seem to be too long, right?

I made myself a quick sandwich. I tried to eat quickly, but I couldn't. The hunger prevented me from eating a whole lot. Every time I took a bite, I felt sick. Unnerved. Starved. Awful.

After about 30 minutes, I had finished a single sandwich. The TV was playing my favorite show and my water was near gone. I can't tell exaggerate this— but I had drunk about 5 full cups of water.
It made me feel nauseous, but it was so worth it. My body felt so relieved.
I got up from the couch and turned off the television.
I don't care for a shower right now. I need my bed, now. I need it so bad.

I walked up to my bedroom and slammed the door. I tumbled to my bed and blacked out.

"MXES?"

"Hm?"

"Where did Y/n go?"

"I don't know."

"You sure? Why are we stuck here? What did you do?"

"I..."

"Please! Tell me! I'm scared."

"She left. I made her fall asleep. I got her out of here."

"Why didn't we leave...?"

"We can't. I can't leave the premises. Not yet. I have to have the system deactivated in the basement."

"Sigh. We're never going to get out of here. They'll lock us up here forever! The building will be scrapped to pieces!"

MXES stood there, thinking long and hard with the many muscles in his head. He turned back to Helpi with a grin.

"I have an idea."
