ALEX POV!!!! (I've been dreaming of a white Christmas just like the ones I used to know! Where tree tops glisten and children listen for sleigh bells in the snow! Anyone else ready for Christmas or Hanukah or the winter holiday you celebrate?)

I struggle to move my arms as my eyes fliy wide open. I can hear some other people in the room so I snap my eyes closed before they can tell I am awake. I listen in on their conversation. There is a man with a deep voice and another man with a raspier voice. 

"I've searched so hard! I can't find-" The deeper voice says as the raspy voice interupts him so rudely, then again I do the same thing.

"CAN'T FIND ANYTHING? This chip is the key to our winning. Do you want us to lose? Look harder you idiot!" the raspy man screams 

"I'm telling you I've tried so hard! I've targetted every emotion and brain section. She won't respond with mood swings or different voices. I've tried digging around. I of course can't damage the chip and there is so far I can go." The man lets his voice trail off until his is just mumbling random facts 

"SHUT UP! What are you trying to tell me?" The Raspy man asks in a threatening tone much like some that I use while interogating 

"I think we have the wrong girl." He says and I can hear in his voice the precaution and fear for what will come next. 


"The wrong girl. The wrong- thats just great. You know what? It seems that you are the source to all of my problems and hardships. I think" he pauses to chuckle loudly "I think you deserve special treatment." 

"No! Please, no! I tried, I followed through, I can't do anything more!" The deeper voiced man says clearly panicked for his life 

"That'ts not your decision to make." He laughs as if it is so fun to torture people. 

I hear an ear piercing scream and know the deep voiced man is no longer with us. I suck in a breath and instantly regret it. 

"You knew you weren't the one, didn't you?" He asks me but I don't respond "I know your awake sweety so stop pretending. Face reality you are trapped here and I'm going to kill you. "

The words make my back arch with a surge of adrenaline and I pull my arms free of the restraints as I open my eyes.  I latch onto the straps and wrap it tight in my hand. I swing around the metal bed and it hits the man I now see who has dark brown hair and harsh wrinkles of stress and anger. The bed knocks into him and nothing happens except for the strap ripping from the bed completely. I look down and see I am in a paper gown. This is great, fighting in paper clothes. 

I wip around the white strap and it unleashes, lengthening and slapping him across the face, he withdraws in pain and looks at me with burning eyes like hot coals. 

"You are such a stupid little one aren't you, Rumi." He growls at me 

"I don't think that we are thinking of the same person." I laugh with an evil glint in my eye
