Quietly closing the door, Carmen needed to think her actions through. The plan was to get out and find Levi, but she figured it wouldn't be that simple - especially when she was weaponless. If she had knives, the enemy would be gone in seconds, instead, she would have to get in close quarters to fight the. How troublesome.

As she tiptoed barefoot along the floors of the prison, she made note to locate all of her equipment. Not only did she need her gear back to go and help Levi, but she also needed that list. Without it, everything she did was in vain.

The first enemy approached to her right, idly chitchatting about her presence along the way. Carmen rolled her eyes, she didn't want her worst moments to be idolised by teenagers.

"I am surprised she has not escaped yet." One of them spoke. "They have us doing extra patrols but I doubt that they will hold any significance."

"True." The other added. "Maybe she is just weaker than we anticipated."

Both girls were proved wrong when Carmen dived from around the corner, making her presence known to the other dolls. However, before they could react, she ducked down and tripped one, making her land on the floor. As she was recovering, Carmen contemplated letting her live but her moment of weakness was cut short when the other dolls wrapped her arms around Carmen's neck.

"I told you we could take her." The doll announced as she slowly lowered Carmen to the ground. The blonde feigned her subdued state until the doll released her.

"You were wrong." Carmen muttered, punching the girl square in the face. Her next move was quick, ducking under the second dolls attack and swiftly grabbing her. Once she had her trapped, she used the momentum of her attack to pull her towards a rusty candlestick - it impaled her neck with ease.

"No." The final doll said with a lack of sympathy. "You..."

She didn't allow the doll to finish her sentence, it was easy to predict the word 'monster' falling from her mouth. So instead, she got close and sent a rapid uppercut towards the girl, who's teeth shattered on impact. Doubling over in pain, Carmen took the opportunity to snap her neck - putting the girl out of her misery.

"I'm not a monster." She spoke, trying to convince herself that what Levi told her was true.

The next few dolls faced the same fate, a brutal death at the hands of their predecessor. It was only fitting, they aspired to be like her, so it only made sense that she should be the one to set them free - even if she hated it. None of them truly stood a chance against her, one managed to get a punch, but ended up lying on the floor with the rest of her enemy's who were in her way.

"Where's my stuff?" Carmen finally asked one of them, the weakest of the bunch and one of the younger dolls. "I might let you live."

The doll in her grasp trembled, knowing exactly what Carmen was capable of. "You are not human." She stuttered as Carmen scoffed.
