"I want in." A voice floated over to the girls who were preparing for the 'Big Escape' tomorrow. Mary turned around.
"Laura?" She asked.
"No, my name is Lake. I never told you who I was- I mean, am- because I thought I would go forgotten." She replied in a silk-like voice.
"If you're not Laura, then who is she?" Susan questioned.
"She was my sister. She and I were walking in the woods one day when we came across three bulky men in browns and greens. We were taking by surprise because of their sudden appearance, and even more so when of the men tied me to a tree and forced me to watched as Laura was raped. Two days later she went to the police. The rapists hunted her down and murdered her. The last time I saw her, her body was being hacked to bloody pieces." Lake said, twiddling with a piece of thread coming out of the hem of her top.
"Oh, wow! Lake, we're glad you could open up to us." Tuesday said. "But, we already have the right amount of people for this task. We're sorry."
"I haven't finished. The same men kidnapped me and cut off one of my toes to show that I was killed as well." Lake continued, brandishing her foot with a missing toe. Tears brimmed in her eyes, threatening to spill over.
"We're here for you, Lake, every step of the way." Susan pulled Lake into a hug. "Mary, Is it possible for Lake to have a job?" She asked, patting Lakes' arm.
"Yeah, umm... She can be defence. You know, going in front and making sure no-one stands in our way. Take out her anger that way!" Mary replied. Lake nodded, seeming to understand why there were no good things left to do.
"Good, well, now we can get on with the Great Escape!" Sapphire interuppted, clapping her hands together. And they all got on and succeeded in the plan to get out of the hell hole.
The end!
Not. Sapphire immeadiatly took a liking towards Lake, whereas Mary wasn't too sure. She only accepted her because of Susan. 'I'll regret this!' she thought to herself that evening.
"Right, girls, tommorrows the day!" Susan yelled.
