We all continue to go around the building to see for any entrance, following Atlas. Soon enough we find an open window. He pushes it open fully and jumps in and gestures for us to do the same, making sure to help the ones who need it. We end up being in a small storage room. 'i'm expecting to be in the prison rooms. That's where they keep those they want to do stuff with.' he whispers quietly. 'i can lead us all there, but you all must be quiet.' he says, more as a warning. We all nod. I notice he seems a little on-edge. I can't blame him tho, considering the Alline basically abused him, from what I've gathered. Atlas walks over to the door and peaks his head out to look around. He seems the coast is clear and he walks out and gestures for us to follow. It's then I think that I realize, that seven people walking around the halls, trying to be sneaky, is the most suspicious thing you can probably think of. But too late to turn back. We all walk out after him and he starts to quietly lead us down the hall.
We get to a pair of double doors, labeled 'Rebel Prision'. Thats not very soothing... Considering we are going there. But I push those thoughts away. Atlas quietly pushes the doors open and carefully leads us inside. We all walk in. It's a large, large room, with different cells all around. Some full, some completely empty. 'how are we meant to find them?' Navie whispers. Atlas pauses for a moment and looks around the room. 'they sort them out in alphabetical order. It won't take long' he whispers. We nod. Atlas looks around and starts to walk in a direction. We all look into the cells as we do, considering they have the names on them. We pass a cell that catches my eye. 'Atlas Carter' why did he have a cell? And why haven't they gotten rid of it? I think to myself but I shake that thought away. Atlas stops outside two cells and his eyes widen at the sight he sees. 'Aiden.' he hisses quietly. Aiden lifts his head 'yes?' he whispers. 'dont look into these two cells.' he whispers. Obviously not wanting Aiden to see what's inside. Haruko furrows his eyebrows together and walks over beside Atlas and gasps quietly at the sight. Curiosity getting the best of me, I also look. There... I see Amelia's lifeless body... Laying there, with a knife in her back. Atlas covers his mouth with his hand and looks at the sight in pure shock. I notice Aiden's curiousity peaking at what we are all looking at. He walks over to us, we are all way to shocked to even try to stop him. When he sees it. He audibly gasps and covers his mouth immediately. 'That... It can't be her...surely...' he says quietly. Atlas teleports inside the cell, something I didn't even realize he could do. He crouches down in front of the body and looks at it fully. Trying to prove he's wrong. After a moment, he leans back on his knees and doesn't meet eye contact with us, nor does he look at the body. 'im so sorry, Aiden...' he says quietly. His voice breaking, I can tell he feels guilty. Even tho he shouldn't. Aiden stays quiet and continues to look at the body and I notice him tearing up. Atlas stands up and teleports back out of the cage. We all stand in silence for a moment. After a second we hear an alarm going off. We all look around frantically. I notice two people walking towards us. 'uh guys!' I yell. Atlas notices it and gets his sword put and stands in front of us all with Issa and Haruko beside him. When the two people get closer, I recognize them from the people that called us, Kai and Ajax I believe their names were. Ajax looks at us all before his eyes land on Atlas and he smirks. 'aww, you've returned to show your strength?' he says, I notice Atlas tense up from his voice. 'i have nothing to prove to you.' he says, his cheerful tone fully dropped. He's speaking in more of a cold tone, it makes a shiver go up my spine. Ajax chuckles. 'now, now, don't be like that, Atlas. Your already too late~' he says mockingly. Atlas tightens his grip on his sword. 'what do you want, Ajax?' he says. Ajax chuckles and walks up to him and puts his hand under his chin to make Atlas look at him. 'nothing much~ just put a stop to the rebellion. And come back to us, mh?' he says. Atlas slaps his hand away from his chin. 'i am not going back to you all. Forget about it.' he hisses. 'nor am I putting a stop to the rebellion. It's going on for good reason.' he says. Ajax's cocky facade crumbles and he scoffs. 'seriously Atlas. I trained you better then this. You were taught, to not disobey.' he says with a scowl. I notice Atlas changes slightly, his angry tone, replaced with more of a scared tone, and he has a panicked look in his eyes that came out of no where, tho he hides it. 'i was taught not too disobey those I trust. And guess what, I dont trust the likes of you.' he hisses. Atlas raises his hand and holds his sword to Ajax's throat. 'now. Give me one good reason why you split up yet ANOTHER family. Got a fetish for that or something?' he asks in a threatening tone. Ajax sighs and rolls his eyes. 'oh it's not my fault. I gave him a choice-' he starts, getting interrupted by Atlas. 'you save him a day to decide. Decisions like that take longer.' he says, the terror still in his eyes, I assume he's having a PTSD flashback, but God he is hiding it well. Ajax scoffs. 'not my fault. Besides, they were not of any use.' he says. Atlas holds his sword to his throat with more force. 'just cause they were to far gone for you to brainwash, doesn't mean that they were useless.' he hisses. We all stay quiet for now, but I notice Haruko looking at Atlas, noticing that he looks slightly panicked. I notice Haruko grab Atlas's free hand that he has behind his back. Haruko signals for us to hold onto each others hands, like what we did when we traveled to here firstly. We do as told. Atlas notices we all did it and looks at us, as if telling us to be ready. He looks back at Ajax and hums slightly before kicking him straight in the stomach, to send him back before tapping his foot on the ground and we all get brought back to Atlas's Cottage, with nothing but Amelia's body fresh in our minds.
