Chapter 5 * Betty and Her Lover Boy.

I stand there in shock as the boy talks to the old woman and he's trying to explain to her why she's suddenly alive after she died like two months ago.

What is this place? I literally got kidnapped god knows how long ago, and I've been tied up, insulted and a witness to... what's the opposite of murder? Oh yeah, there is no opposite of murder because people coming back from the dead only happens in movies! God, I'm going insane.

The woman just lays there trying to make sense of it all but I can tell it's not going to make any sense the more you think about it. The boy looks at me he realizes that I'm in complete and utter shock.

"Hey, are you alright?" He seems awfully concerned for someone who he met only two minutes ago.

"Y-yeah, I'm fine..." I utter out. Gosh, is this a power? I need to go home. Home. Oh my god.. I wonder if my dads okay? Now I really need to get home. I need to escape this horrible place.

I slowly walk backwards trying not to catch the attention of the godlike boy, but as he goes to talk to me he notices that I'm halfway to the door.

"Oh, good idea! Let's show Betty around." He says as he guides the old woman near the door. He opens the door and Lucky for me no one is standing in the hallway waiting for me.

"Come on!" He encourages me to follow them and I suddenly realize he can show me the exit and I can get out of here, so I oblige and follow him and Betty.

We walk down multiple hallways and I notice that there are loads of people trapped in this place. People he has probably kidnapped and stored in this place.

We walk past what I guess are dorms, like college dorms but not that exciting. The rooms are all personalized to the specific person sleeping in there, but what catches my attention are the signs around the doors saying, 'Section 6'. What does that mean?

"Here is where we eat lunch and-" he gets interrupted by his stomach rumbling.

"It must be dinner time! Gosh, I didn't even realize! Come on Betty lets dine and dash." Betty giggles like a school girl and follows him inside.

It's like a massive canteen but with spiral stairs right smack in the center showing me that there are more floors to this place which means more people. This is a good cover because loads of people are in here and I don't think Mr. Boss man can find me in the sea of people.

Before I get lost I follow the boy to a seat. Loads of people are sitting around him chatting and laughing.. God, they must be mind washed into thinking this is home, a place where they can laugh and have fun.

"Hey, what's your name?" The strange boy whispers in my ear.

"Flora." I say half smiling, I want him to think we are friends so he can show me the exit.. If he even knows where the exit is. He probably doesn't because if he did, why would he not be in his actual home right now? 

"Flora.. That's a lovely name. I've never seen you before, are you new?" He looks me straight in the eyes looking for an answer but I don't know what to say.

"Yeah, I'm new... you should show me round."I say not wanting to stay in the same place for long.

"Yeah, sure, but don't you think someone from your own sector should become your friend? It's best to be friends with your own people so that we don't get attached to people that are different than us, you know?" I don't understand what is happening in this place.

Let's just get out and go home to my mash potatoes.

As the boy resumes to his meal look around to really take in my surroundings, but I made eye contact with a yummy looking mad that I've been trying to avoid.

"Crap." I whisper to myself.

I look to see if the boy beside me notices him, but when I look back up to see if I can still make an exit, I notice that he's gone.

I raise my eyebrow in confusion. What? Where did he go?

"Flora.. Can you come with me for a minute?" I shiver when I hear his voice in my ear.

"No, please leave me alone." I say still looking forward. I'm not going to look this man in the eyes because if I do I'll probably cave in.

"Fine." He grabs my arms and pulls me off of my seat now I'm very close to him and we're face to face. There goes my plan of not looking at him.

"Flora why did you run off?" He says still gripping my arm tightly. Ouch bro.

"Where did I run off to? More like where did you run off to? I opened the door to reveal an empty room." I say giving him a stern look.

"I don't have to explain myself to you Flora." He says, giving me the dirtiest look.

"Well then neither do I." I say as I yank my arm out of his grasp and try to walk around him but he moves so he's blocking my way.

"Flora follow me." He says, walking towards the door. I stand there for a minute considering my options.. Do I go with him and probably get murdered or do I stay with Betty and this odd boy?

Yeah, I'll go with the boss.

"Bye Flora!" The boy shouts as I'm near out the door.

As I'm following him we seem to be in the sector 8. Sector 8? I wonder what that means. Probably where the crazy people go who stab people with forks a.k.a me.

He opens a door and gestures me to go inside.

"Welcome to your new room." He says with such joy in his voice.

I turn to him in confusion. My new room? This rooms mine? No way am I staying in this hell hole.

I go to object, but he shuts the door and locks it from the outside and I stand there in shock.

"See you tomorrow, sleep tight sunshine." He says through the door.

God, I hate him.
