"TORTURE"

     "SAVANNAH. Savannah are you there?" I talked at the hole in the wall. Elena was still held by Dr. Bauer, God knows what was being done to her "Savannah" I kept calling "Ugh, what?" She snapped. I backed away in confusion, why is she this angry all of the sudden?

     What did Aleister say to her? I can smell her irritation towards me, her dislike... "We're breaking out of here. Elena and I will get you back to Paige and Ruth. Have you-" The door opening caught my attention and made me cover the hole with my pillow.

     In came Elena who was pushed by two guards that held both a taser in hand. After Elena was fully inside, one of them closed the door. I went back to the wall to continue the conversation with Savannah, Elena joining "Have you been outside? What can you see when you're out there?" I asked.

     Elena knew where I was heading with this, we needed all the information we could have if we were going to break out of this damned place "I don't know... buildings, trees. Why?" She asked. The vague interest in her voice conveyed her desire for the end of this conversation.

     "Are there any mountains? Water? A bridge? Anything that could help get us out of here?" Elena asked. A very faint gasp of surprise echoed through Savannah's room "Why should I trust you?" She asked defensive. Aleister had gotten into her mind, twisted into making her believe that we were the threat.

     I was certain about it "Savannah, Aleister is using you. We've been trying to help you" I said "You're werewolves. I'm locked up here because of you. It's for my safety" She spoke with a hint of disgust when calling us werewolves "Is that what he's telling you?" Elena asked.

     "Look, you can trust us. Okay? Your family came to us for help" I said but was taken aback by what Savannah answered "My mother's dead. Paige and Ruth... aren't my family. They want to control me" She said and I shook my head in disbelief, even if she couldn't see me "They may not be blood, okay, but they love you. They care for you" I said.

     "They just say they do" She argued back "Alister wants me to reach my full potential" She added "Aleister is the one trying to control you!" Elena said, slightly irritated by the fact that Savannah couldn't see that "Ugh!" Savannah sighed in annoyance.

     I then heard something like an intercom buzz before Savannah's voice rang through my ears once again "Guards? The werewolves are bugging me" She complained. Seconds later guards were opening the door, Elena and I prepared to fight against them.

     They walked inside, one with a taser in hand and the other one empty handed. They knew they weren't aloud to tase me which I was going to use to my advantage. The guards went for Elena first, as instinct I went to attack but soon left on the ground.
