I held back a sigh as Morrigan told us we wouldn't be going home until after the busses left.
I knew that there was something up.
"You like this place?" Harley asks. Tyler shook his head.
"I hate it. They make you do stuff that you hate, and never really just let you.. I dunno, do what you want. It's a schedule day and day. And they all have weird names," Tyler rants.
"Yeah. I've never met anyone named Marama before."
"Just because they have weird names doesn't mean anything," Harley says, a frown on her tight lips.
"Eh, I know," Tyler says, leaning back on his part of the couch. I repeated what
"Raylin, are you sleeping alright?" Harley suddenly asks, making me face her.
"Uh, yeah?" I say, pretty much unsure.
"Well, it's dark under your eyes. Like you haven't been able to sleep well lately. Is anything bothering you?" I shook my head.
"Harley, Raylin, and Tyler! You're car is waiting," Morrigan calls. I got up, and followed Tyler.

"Hey, Raylin," Justin says, kissing my cheek. I forced a smile, and hugged him. He hugged back.
"Hey..." I replied. He looked down at me, and I pulled away.
"Are you alright?" He asks. I shrugged, and he ran a hand down my face. "What's wrong?"
"I.." I trailed off. "They told me the other company wants me dead. They'll take me, and kill me."
"Oh.." he replied. He pulled me closer again.
My stop was coming closer, and I looked at Justin.
"Wanna come off with me? We can keep talking."
"Yeah," I replied. He kissed my temple, and grabbed my hand.

Justin was looking at the paper that had Morrigan's name on it as he held me. I wanted this all to just stop, and go back to how it was.
"Uh, Raylin?" He says, looking down at me. I looked up at him.
"Hmm?"
"Do you even know what half of these names mean? Not to mention the words at the bottom?"
"No? I mean, does it matter?" I asked. My head was feeling dizzy. I had been feeling sick, and had no idea why.
"You look kinda sick, are you ok?" He asks. I nodded, and felt the back of his hand touch my forehead "Are you sure? You look pale, and feel warm."
"Yeah... I'm fine."
"Ok... well, the names here.. their meanings are dark. All of them."
"What do you mean?" I looked down at the paper full of names.
"Well, for start, Amara means eternal. And Lorelei was a supposed goddess who lured fisherman in, and killed them."
"So it's two names-"
"No, Raylin. It's them all."
"How do you know about this?" I challenged, sitting up.
"Back in.. seventh or sixth grade, I was to do a report on names and their meanings. I know a bunch of these. Raylin, that's not just a few names, it's all of them." I bit my lip, not knowing what to say.
He pulled away from me, and scanned the names again.
"What's the name of the company?" He asks.
"Mind Recreation Center. Why?"
He jumped up, and walked over to the computer in his room. He turned it on, and pulled Google up.
"Raylin... it's not a real place. It's not coming up as anything. The building was bought, but never put in use." He turned to me after a few minutes of silence.
"A-are you sure?" He nodded.
I pulled my phone up, and texted Tyler. He called me seconds later.
"Raylin? You're not going to believe what I found."
