"What the hell? Who are you?," Ivory asks the Drifter. "The person that's going to save your lives, don't worry the only people who are also with me is my daughter and another teenage girl," the Drifter answers.
"See? And you people said it was hopeless," a blonde prisoner says."Ginger, just shut up and sit down. You said that we wouldn't get out either," Ivory says to Ginger.
"Don't yell at me! We have someone who is willing to help us okay? So, let her do what she wants to do to get us out of here," Ginger responds
"What are you going to do to get us out?," a blue headed male prisoner asks. "Simple,the easy way possible: fight," the Drifter responds.
"Right Aries?," she asks the red headed prisoner from before. Aries smiles at her."Yep, let's do it," he says.

India has fallen asleep on the bench, her dark wavy hair is all over her face and her tiny legs and arms hang from the bench.I dose off, but I know I have to keep my eyes on India. I can't help but think that somebody is watching us though.
Crunch.Crunch.Crunch. I hear the leaves crunching near a cottage 20 feet away from where we are. I look at my watch and it reads 3:45p.m. Crunch, crunch.
There it is again, I'm get and walk towards India. "India wake up we need to go where your mama is," I shake her and she wakes up and looks at me in a sleep mode.
"Are you two okay?,"I hear a female voice call from ahead of us. Oh my god.
I look up and see a girl about my age with dark and light pink hair that goes to her butt and brown eyes.
She is wearing boots, blue jeans and a white spaghetti strap. "What's up? My name is Lilly, it's the nickname people call me," she says to me. Another... Nickname?

"Are you people ready," the Drifter asks. "Why not? I trust Aries, but I don't know whether to trust you," Ivory says."Ivory please, just give this girl a chance she knows what she's doing. So, remember you guys stay down here and me and her will go find him, okay?," Aries explains.
"Alright fine, just be careful Aries," Ivory says to him. The Drifter takes the keys opens his cell, he gets out and smiles at Ivory.
"Be strong okay? That's what your nickname is all about, the tusks from a elephant are the ivory that is strong. Be ready always," he says to her.
She sighs and looks at Magenta and Ginger. "You guys ready to beat some ass?," she asks them. "Ready as ever!," Magenta calls. "Yep, let's go!," Ginger responds. Afterwards, the Drifter and Aries leaves.

Lilly looks at India and smiles, but I quickly pick India up in my arms and India complies. "Hi, my name is Skyler. Where did you come from?," I ask Lilly."Well, a long way from New York is all I can say. What are you and little bite doing here?," Lilly asks and sits down on the bench.
"We're just walking by, I mean I'm waiting for her mama,"I look at her and she looks back and forth from me and the cottage in front of us. I'm starting to get suspicious.
"Are you traveling alone?," I ask. "Hmm? Alone? Well, my brother is around here, but I don't know where he is. He's a smart and secretive guy," she says and smiles at me.
I look at my watch, 3:50p.m. I look back at Lilly and she has gotten up. "Actually I think we need to go," I say backing up slowly. "What's wrong Skyler?," she asks moving a little closer.
"Something's up is all," I say, and she gets a little closer as I back up. All of sudden, I hear the screaming of people again only much more louder.
Then I hear banging, like people banging on walls of cells. "Shit!," Lilly says and she looks back at me then at the ground.
"Got to run Skylar, bye," she says and runs towards the tunnel underneath. I start to turn and run, until the Drifter and a guy with red hair stop me. "Aries, Skyler. Skyler, Aries,"the Drifter introduces us fast. "Hey," we say together.
" What's going-" "I'll explain later," the Drifter interrupts. "Right now we need to get the others out and go to where your friends are Skylar. Back to the city," the Drifter says.
"Yeah, your right I've been missing it for a while," Aries says. "Alright let's do it." All four of us go to another cottage and we get to a door buried into the ground. And in the tunnel we make our way.
