Three days have passed now and Avery, Nick and Sam were gone. I had visited Sarah and gave her my dinner each time I visited. Each time I visited her she seems to be getting paler and weaker. As breakfast came around it wasn't Steve who came in serving us breakfast. It was girl with long blonde dirty hair and crystal blue eyes. She was around 5,6 and she looked around the same age as me.

Instead of stale bread, water, carrots and seeds it was fruit. I cocked an eyebrow. "Where's Steve?" I asked. The girl turned to me. From her body language she seemed like bitch. "He's off duty today so I'm serving you breakfast, problem?" She hissed. "Maybe." I mumbled and narrowed my eyes. She narrowed hers back at me. "What's your name then?" I asked. Well if she was going to be serving us food today we may as well know her name.

"Lucy."

I slowly nodded. She threw my breakfast at me and I scowled at her. She smirked and gave the others there's nice and gently. What a bitch. "And your going to eat while I'm here, I don't care if you don't want it. Your going to eat weather I have to force it down your throat or not." She said. "Good luck with that. I said put my hands behind my back. She folded her arms over her chest.

"Natalie don't be difficult, don't be a troublesome just for one day." She said. I knitted my eyebrows. "Troublesome? I'm not a Troublemaker." I scowled. "Remember the time you broke the cameras, you hit Janson, you knocked out Evan and more that I can't think of right now." She said. Lucy sighed then a smirk crept onto her lips.

"Alright then Natalie, if your not going to eat then the others have to go without food as well." She said still with a huge smirk. I narrowed my eyes at her. I looked at the others they gave me begging eyes. "I know you can go without food but can your fellow friends?" She asked. I can't wait to wipe that smirk off her god damn face.

I gritted my teeth. "Please, we can't survive without food." Ava mumbled to me. I sighed deeply. I forced the fruit down my throat and I threw the pineapple at Lucy. She shot me a glare. I shrugged. She stormed of with the trolley and whacked into the door. I held my laugh. She shot me daggers and opened the door and stormed out.

Janson came in and held up his note pad. "Right we can take two today, so those two people are," he paused. "Sam and Georgia." "What happened to the others?" Georgia asked in a small voice. "Well you see we did more tests on them and looked deeper into the body and they all have a different sickness so we're helping them, we just need to check you aren't the same way." He said with a fake smile.

She nodded sadly and followed him along with Sam. The doors shut and that was the end of Georgia and Sam.
Ava, Harry, Sarah and I were the last people. In four more days, we'll all be gone. "Ava can I trust you?" I whispered to her. She nodded. "Do you think these people are bad?" I asked her. She thought about it and slowly nodded. "Well I need you and Harry to cover up the cameras so I can go through the vents and see what's going on." I whispered to her. She thought about it for a long moment and nodded.

She whispered the message to Harry. He stared at me and I gave pleading eyes. He gave in and nodded. We each grabbed a blanket that was on the couches and we threw them over the cameras. "Why tho?" Harry mouthed. I nodded towards the vents. "Please trust me I'll tell you everything when I get back." I whispered. They nodded and I opened the vent and Harry stopped me. "Be careful." He whispered. I nodded and climbed up.

I crawled through and followed Georgia, Sam and Janson. I spotted them and they were going into a room. I took a right I was right above the room. I listened in. "Alright then lie down on the beds and this will be over before you know it." He said. Georgia and Sam shared looks. Janson sighed and nodded at his guards and they pinned them down.

"Your not trying to help us your trying to kill us!" Georgia yelled. First time I've heard her being loud. "Yes, yes where the bad guys now Dr Rodgers please shut them up." Janson hissed. "Help! Help!" Georgia yelled. Guilt washed over me. I would of helped them if only there wasn't so many people. If I weren't down there I'd also be a goner and who knows what would happen to Ava and Harry afterwards. Georgia saw me and I let tears fall. I mounted 'I'm sorry' to her and she mouthed back to me 'it's ok, don't get caught and stay safe, escape this place and survive' Janson looked at her then up at the vent. I leaned back out of site and when I looked again they injected stuff into Georgia and Sam and they were both out.

I sniffed and put a hand over my mouth. "Did you hear that?" Janson asked. "Ya I sounded like sniffing." Lucy said furrowing her eyebrows. "I heard the same noise." Dr Rodgers stated. My eyes widened. "I'll go check on the other Subjects." Janson said and looked up one more time and left. I panicked. I crawled as fast as I could. I hit the sides a few times and I jumped down and closed the vent.

"What happened?" Ava whispered. "Janson is coming!" I whisper yelled. There eyes widened and we took all the blankets off and sat down and I wiped my tears away and pretended to be asleep. There was a click and the doors opened and Janson came in. I opened my eyes and yawned. He looked at us and then stared directly at me.

"Yes?" I asked innocently. His jaw clenched. "Just came to checkup on you to see how you were all doing." He said smiling. Liar. "Since your all alright I better be off he said. I stopped him and stood up. "Where's Georgia, Sam and the others?" I asked. He looked at me straight in the eyes.

"Georgia and Sam are in Surgery and the others there doing fine." He lied again. "Ya there fine alright." I mumbled and sat down again. "What was that?" He asked. "Nothing." I said. He looked at me for a long time and left again.

The three of us went in a circle and I whispered to them what happened and what I saw for the past few nights. Ava gasped. "Really?" She asked. I sadly nodded. "They want something inside of us I'm going last for all I know and one of you is next tomorrow." I whispered. "So Tomorrow I plan on escaping." I said. "How?" Harry asked.

I showed a bit of the wrench. "I got the code for all the doors and all we need now is a card, I'll get that when Steve or Janson comes in and then we can get out of here." I whispered. "What if one of us gets taken?" Ava whispered. I looked down sadly. "Then the other two keep going." Harry said. "I'll get them to take me tomorrow and you two run." I whispered.

"No! And how do you know all of this.?" Ava questioned. "Heard them talking." I said. "Alright so me or Ava are going to get taken so whoever does the other escapes with Natalie." Harry whispered. "I'll try to make them take me and you two run alright." I whispered. "No!" Ava growled. We began arguing over who would leave and who would escape. It was going to be a long night.
