Holly wouldn't stop shaking. I didn't know what to do. I couldn't do anything I know the nuns will blame everything on me. I sat watching Holly's body shake, I held her hand and I stared sobbing her loud. The lights flickered on instantly and nuns rushed over and took Holly away from me. I was brought back to my room by Sister Annie. She gave me a glass of water and some bread, then she sat me down on my bed and asked me what happened. I knew I couldn't tell her we took the files. Wait, the files. I have mine still in my shirt but Holly left hers on the seat of the auditorium.

"I don't know, really. Holly is my first friend here and I don't want anything happening to her without me knowing.", I said to Sister Annie, covering up what really happened.

"Johnny, I will update you on Holly's progression. You can visit her after breakfast tomorrow morning. Is that alright Johnny?", she gave a concerning smile.

"Whatever that's fine."

She told me to get some rest and left me on my bed. I knew if they found Holly's file in the auditorium that we would be sent away to a new facility. Without hesitation I sat up and pulled my file out of my shirt. I opened it back up and kept looking at the newspapers they were printed are out the same time I was born. So I could be Bloody Face's son. I kept thinking what he was like, I wanted to know more about him. That's when I decided to runaway.
