Imagination's last hope: The quest to save the unseen world

Chapter 18

Rachel has been sitting in this cold and empty room for what felt like days. She had no idea when it was night or when it was day.
She had eaten the energy bar; it was strawberry-flavoured and didn't taste too bad, even though her favourite was chocolate. She drank all the water and wanted more; she was always thirsty.
She tried sleeping to make the time pass quicker, but her mind wouldn't switch off. Rachel tried repeating to herself that her friends would make a plan and come save her, but as time passed, she wasn't so sure anymore. It felt like no one was coming to save her. She knew the most important thing was staying positive and not losing hope, but it's much more complicated than it sounds.
The door went open, and a bottle of water and an energy bar were thrown into the room. Rachel tried to stand up again. This time she succeeded. She still felt a little wobbly but made it to the middle of the room to get the water and energy bar. She drank most of the water and ate the whole energy bar.
Rachel tried pushing and pulling the door several times, hoping it would budge, but it was sealed shut. There was no way she would be able to open it.
She sat down against the wall again. Even though she was tired, she couldn't sleep anymore. She couldn't figure out how long she had been trapped here.
Rachel didn't want to give up. She wanted to believe that she would get out of this room, but it was getting harder and harder for her to stay positive.
Suddenly, Rachel remembered the golden watch Hootwiggle gave her. It might be her way out. She reached down to press the button to speak to Hootwiggle and Finnigan but felt that the watch wasn't around her wrist anymore. The robots have taken it.
Rachel's heart sank.
A few days ago, she was just an ordinary girl with a boring life. Her days were the same; nothing new or exciting was happening. She hated it. Her biggest wish was that her life could be different. That something exciting would happen to her. She just wanted to get out of that boring routine every day. It has been her birthday wish for the past two years, but nothing has changed until now.
Rachel regretted wishing for her life to be different. Why couldn't she just be happy with what she had? Her life probably wasn't even as bad as she thought. It was a lot better than the lives of most kids, and she took it for granted. She was too ungrateful and didn't realise how good what she had was. She should've appreciated everything she had.
The realisation started to set in for Rachel. She knew she might not make it out of this place.
