Isabel healed in the nurse's office for a few days, then she went back to her cell in The Echoed Dungeons. She snuck out at night, avoiding guards among her. She couldn't escape with the guards blocking the front door. She snuck back to her cell and could hear shouting. 

"WHERE IN THIS WORLD DID THIS FILTHY WOLF GO?" 

A guard called, coming from the other side. Isabel snuck back to the door, knowing that she had to get back there fast. She didn't remember how she escaped, but she can remember her gaining strength and breaking the chains. A sudden movement came from behind Isabel. She was too frozen, so she couldn't turn around. 

A guard was right there. 

"There she is! She's among The Echoed Dungeons trying to run out the door!"

The guard screamed. 

"Well, then, quit standing there and get her!"

Isabel was still frozen, not knowing that she was still there. Like normal, the guard hit her with a baton and she was in the nurse's office once again. 

She woke up that morning and couldn't remember anything. 

"Isabel?" 

Becca asked trying to wake her up. Isabel was half asleep still. Her brain was black and she couldn't think. She couldn't talk or say a word. 

"B-b-b-be-Becca?" 

Isabel asked, trying to smile but couldn't get it out. Becca wrapped her in a warm blanket fresh out of the dryer. Isabel thought once more about what happened. She couldn't remember anything about Becca, except that she was trying to help Isabel escape. 

"What happened? I cannot remember anything."

Isabel asked and sighed, hoping that Becca had good news. 

"The guards whipped you with a baton again because you tried to escape. Or you almost did, that is. They're now locking you up in a different, but much stronger dungeon. They're trying their best to stop you from escaping. We need a plan, in fact, a much stronger plan."

Becca went into tears. She didn't know what else to do. Isabel wished that there was some way out, even if that meant fighting for the first time ever.
