I woke up in a stone room I was chained down, what the heck? I looked around Joyce was next to me with an eerie smile

" You're awake.  Good" she giggled

"What's going on?" My head was spinning colours were swirling around me

" Look at your arm" she laughed, I looked at my arm two small blood red dots accompanied by an large black X

"WHAT THE H-"

" SHHH" she silenced me "He'll here you." Her head motioned in front  of us, a black shadow hung to the wall his eyes opened glowing gold and swooped down into form of the familiar man he walked to us with a sense of confidence

" Good evening" he came over so close to my face " darling" the word rolled of his tongue easy way to easy, I tried to kick him but I was strained to the chair, he licked his bottom lip "So good to see you again"

"I've never seen you"

"Ahhh yes you were just a poppet" his British accent became more noticeable he walked over to Joyce and released her from the chair " Joyce always a delight" he reached out to touch her shoulder she flinched " Joyce tell her how long she's been here."

"Three years approximately"

"What? No I can't... I'd be sixteen but if remember" my arms had many marks black Xs every where I struggle " LET ME OUUUUUUUTTTTTT!!" I screamed

"Ummmmm... No" he said so simply

" No?" I was mad

" No" this made me more mad I screamed and ripped the Chinese apart not the slightest bit of fear shone on their faces they were smiling eerie smiles, I jumped light was flowing around my face I was scared I heard him say don't worry she'll be back but no I won't

***

" Is she gonna be okay?"

" Yes don't worry"

Who is that I tried to open my eyes and slowly they did light was flashed in my face then Someone pulled me into a bone crushing hug.

"Thank god you're okay!" I knew this voice, Micah, thank god he's okay, my brother smiled behind me and hugged me as well as

" I'm so glad you're okay!" Ed smiled

" Me to!" I saw a familiar man in a white coat with a clip board he smiled then he was gone, the familiar man.
