AFTER the fight with Gally, of course, Alby had to throw us in the pit for 1 day with no food, she was the first one to be thrown because she was the only "girl". she looked at her watch, "10 pm" it says on the screen, they were all probably asleep by now.

She thinking about what kind of position would be the most comfortable when sleeping, until someone called her name. She looked up to see a child, around 12 or 13, chubby, kinda short. She stood up to talk with him.

"Hello, Lana right?" He said in the most silent way possible.

"Yes, what brings you here?" She replied.

"I just wanna give you this" He reached out a piece of bread.

"Thank you." She smiled as she took his offer.

"I also wanna show you what I made, I know we're not close but I just wanna show it to someone."

"Oh it's alright, you can show me."

He showed her a carved wood, it looked like him, but it was just his shape, it was impressive that a child could do something like that.

"That's wonderful, but I have a question. Why are you still up?"

"Oh, just going for a midnight walk."

"That's a good idea, be careful tho."

"I will, it was nice talking to you Lana. Bye!" He traced off with a smile on his face.

"Bye."

She looked at the piece of bread and ate it before anyone could see, she sat back down to the spot she found and tried to sleep but it was very uncomfortable. She tried again and again, but nothing worked, she then just sat up and tried to fall asleep. But still, nothing worked, until she felt a sudden headache, she placed both hands on her head praying that it would stop.

Her vision was a blur and felt like she was looking through a straw, she had no choice but to just sit in the corner until she finally blacked out.

"Thomas?"

"Oh hey, Lana! What brings you here?"

"I had nothing to do so I decided to visit you and Teresa!" She smiled.

"What are you doing?" She asked.

"Oh! Dr. Ava Paige assigned me to make a maze or something"

"That's so cool!" She exclaimed.

"Could you help me? I have nothing in mind right now."

"Of course!"

"Thank you so much! You're such a lifesaver."

"Anytime! Have you seen Teresa?—"

As the little girl turned to look at the boy which she called "Thomas", Lana felt like she was falling. She looked around as panic rose from her chest, overthinking what would happen if she landed. She closed her eyes and as she opened them again she was on an operating table, her body felt numb and she couldn't move again.
