"Ella..."

"Maddie. Oh my God Maddie it's you!" Cried Ella.

We both jumped up and court each other in a tight embrace. I then realized that I was meant to be getting wine from the cellar. I pulled away, but before I spook I noticed the long scar down Ella's face. It went from the top of her forehead, to her jaw line.

"Ella...What happened to your face?"

"Oh, well do you remember when I rang you from the truck."

"Yeah."

"The head guard at the time pinned me to the wall and gave me this beauty." She said the last line while pointing the the ugly scar down the side of her face.

"But it's slowly healing."

"Well that's good." I suddenly remembered that I had a job to do. "Ella, I can't talk right now. I really need to get going. wen does your shift end?"

She gave me a weird look and said "I have a lot of explaining to do, so just tell where your dorm is and I'll tell you everything."

That's weird. She's allowed to do what she wants after her shift. Well, she has a different master to me. A NICER master! I then realised where I was. I was at the end of the corridor from where my room was. I'd never seen it from this way before. No wonder I got lost.

"Okay, I'll show you."

Me and Ella walk to the end of the corridor and I pointed to the door to the room that belonged to me an Cory. I said goodbye to Ella before sprinting to the cellar. I was handed two huge bottles of red wine from a elderly slave. She clasped my wrist and gave me a sad smile.

"I never wanted to die like this" She said as a single salty tear escaped her grey eye.

I smiled back and said, "Nor do I."

She gave my wrists one more squeeze before letting me go and letting me get back to my job. I ran back to the huge doors where my master waited along with the other 12 leaders. I slowed down to a walk and let the guards open the door for me.

I walked over to my master and bow. "What do you wish of me now master?"

Without looking at me, he waved his hand towards and dresser with silver goblets. "Pour us a drink." The other leaders nodded in agreement.

I walked over the the dresser and put the silver goblets in a long row. I then poured the blood-red liquid in to each goblet. Then I handed them out with a now to go with each. After that I went and stood next to Elizabeth.

CORY POV

The muscles in the arms were slowly failing. I had done all the rooms and was just starting the last of the corridors. I watched the time intently. Seconds felt like minutes. Minutes felt like hours. Hours felt like years. When does this torture end. I looked at 11 year old Adam, cleaning the corner opposite me. If he can do it, so can you Cory. I notice the guard paid more attention to him than me. He looked at me with scared and exhausted eyes. Then he had noticed. The guards always pick out the weaker ones. I mouthed "It's okay, nearly done, kit keep going a little longer." He smiled and got back to sweeping. I turned back to my side of the room and started dusting.
