 I can't move. I try to kick and flail, but the restraints are holding me down. A man dressed in white walks up to me, and rips open my shirt. He grabs the scalpel and I can feel the cold metal on my stomach. Then the pain. Screaming, I try to escape, but I can't. I feel the blood flowing down my sides, only to be replaced with the unbearable feeling from my stomach. I scream. I keep screaming. I can feel so much pain, then the scalpel approaches my eye...

 "JO!" yelled Andy. I opened my eyes. There were no restraints, well there were, but they were just the band trying to keep me from accidentally destroying everything. I was drenched in sweat, and I could feel tear stains around my eyes, and leading towards my ears. Effortlessly taking the guys off, I sat up. Holding my head in my hands, I curled up into a ball on the sofa.

"Those dreams are so vivid." I said aloud. I looked up at the band, all of them were terrified, but yet concerned. I felt more tears rolling down my cheeks. I quickly looked away. Andy came over and wrapped his arms around me. I cried into his chest, full blown sobs wracked my body. It had all felt so real. The dream had opened up a whole world of sorrow that I simply had locked away.

 Finding the key to the chest, I quickly caught the escaped memories and locked them back inside. I stopped sobbing, but it took a while for the tears to stop. Unfortunately, It had soaked Andy. I sat up and almost instantaneously the rest of the band were beside me. Checking if I was broken. I got up and started to make my way towards the door.

"Thanks guys." I said groggily as I walked out the door. I let the pouring rain cleanse my face, thankful for the casual English weather.

 I walked back inside and claimed Andy's bunk to get changed. Moving back into the living area, I sat down and was immediately confronted by a plate covered in eggs, bacon, sausages and toast. '*Insert swear word of your choice* how the hell are you supposed to eat this!?' I immediately thought. Looking round at the others, I poked the yellow thing on top of the white stuff. 'The yolk I believe...' I thought. It turns out I poked it too hard and it split open, yellow goo running everywhere.

"You ok Jo?" asked Jake, wondering if there was something wrong with the food, as I just seemed to be prodding it from a safe distance.

"Not hungry is all." I answered. I guess it was partly true, because a lot of blood has similar properties to that egg. It does put you off a bit.

"You're looking at it like you've never even seen one before." laughed Andy. I probably did a very unconvincing laugh, because they all turned to look at me in shock. "Have you really never seen an egg before?"

"Sure I have, now if you'll excuse me I think I'm gonna throw up." I murmured, stalking off towards the bathroom.

'How does this work?' I thought, looking at the bathroom necessities, making sure I locked the door, - yes I know I fight robots, but I don't fight plumbing or food - I sat down on the floor and curled up. I knew I was miles away from the nearest river or forest, and I didn't know anything about how normal people act, or how anything works. I was soon brought to reality by Andy coming in and kneeling down in front of me. I looked at the door, noticing that instead of locking it, I had broken it in my haste and panic.

"Why are you crying?" asked Andy, tilting my head up with his fingers. Apparently I looked confused, so he tried to touch my cheek to show me, but because of natural reflexes/upbringing, I flinched. 'He should be on the floor, but he's Andy, and I just don't have the heart...' I thought. 'Where the hell is all this coming from...'
