Where's Rose? I haven't seen Rose for a few days, now. I'm really getting worried. I've been worried already, but... She's got to be in the building. But no, we've checked nearly every room. Anoura and I are checking rooms when whenever we get the chance.

Speaking of which, Anoura and I are searching now. None of the doctors have seen her, though they're hiding something. We open a door and find a man sitting at a monitor with a button at his hands. Right when he notices that we're here, he jumps and puts his hands in the air.

We race over to the monitor and look at what he's been watching. It's dark wherever the camera is, but the night vision is on so it's a bit easier to see. I look frantically for Rose and see movement in a corner. It's subtle, but there. I take the button and yank it out of the wires and break the monitor.

Before I broke the monitor, I saw the room number. 510. It isn't that far. I race out into the hall and down it with my super speed until I see the room but my shoes have no traction so I slide for a little ways. I jog back to the door and try to yank it open.

Locked. I close my eyes and use my telekinesis to unlock the door and then I yank it open. I hear a slight screech from the room and something in the corner drastically changes.

"It's Rose! She's in here!" I yell down the hall to Anoura.

I rush over to Rose and look at the gadgets she has. She's also slightly rocking back and forth with her hands covering her face.

"No more. No more. No more." She whispers over and over again.

I take off her gloves and take out her ear plugs.

"Rose. It's me, James. I'm going to take the goggles off." I calmly say.

"James? Is that you?" She asks, slowly lowering her hands.

I take off the old, dusty mechanism and Rose has her eyes closed tightly.

"Oh my god. What happened? Who did this to you?" Anoura gasps, walking into the room.

Rose doesn't really answer her, except she keeps repeating sentences about sleep over and over.

"Must not sleep. Sleep brings shocks. Shocks are painful." She mumbles, shaking her head.

Anoura and I have the escape planned out.

We need to leave tomorrow.
