"I'm just as clueless as you are. I just woke up here, no memory what-so-ever. All i'm trying to do is find my little sister and get the hell outta this place!" "Your little sister?" "Yeah, little Isabell. Have you seen any children around here lately?" I began to panic slightly. If he knew where she is, we could get her and escape somehow! "Sadly, no." My heart sank. "Wait, I did hear a little girl talking to something... Down the hall, torwards the lunch hall, I think." I began to run down the hall, my throat tightening. "We need to find her!!" "Millie, no! We musn't run through the hall, 'they' will hear us and take us to the loony room where they drug us and we slowly whither away!"

At that moment, we heard the faint patter of leather boots heading torwards us. Before I could reath, Anthony covered my mouth and pulled me back into his cell, making sure the door to mine was closed. He pushed me under the bed to make sure I was hidden.

"What;s going on down here?" The sudden voice made me flinch a little. Anthony was frozen in fear, but slowly inched torwards a chair in the corner of the room. Through the small barred window on the door, I saw the gaurd turn and look into the room. I froze and held my breath. Please don't see me, please don't come inside, please don't take us away, please don't hurt my sister.

He suddenly looked away and continued down the hall. After what seemed like forever, Anthony motioned for me to come out fromunder the bed. "Hey, thanks for hiding be back there, that was really brave of you." "Ey, you let me out of this cell, what else was I going to do? Just let him drag you away? Who knows what they'd do to little girls like you." "Excuse you? I am NOT little and i'm perfectly capible of taking care of myself!" He started to laugh. "Oh jeez, this is too funny!" I glared at him and peered out of the 'window'. No one was there. "I think it's safe for us to pass through now."
