[ Arty - san ]

Yolo Molo, did you miss me? Cause I missed you so I will be publishing today and on the first so enjoy and happy festive season to all. By the way, it is currently 00:00 am right now, I would be grateful if you could say thank you, author - nim, for my hard work

Lucien is laying in bed. Tossing and turning while groaning and grunting in pain, sweat flowing out of his pores. Finally his eyes open as he jumps out of bed landing on the floor. He looks around to see that he is in his room and it's nighttime, judging from the pitch-black sky outside his window. He breathed heavily as he grabs his tank top drenched in sweat and his hair matted to his scalp. A sigh leaves his shaky lips, his grip never easing

Lucien: It was but a dream...

A voice catches his attention and he looks at the door. His face turning to a frown, the person smiles

Joanne: What? Were you expecting someone else?

Lucien can only shrug his shoulders before returning his gaze to the window. His tone nonchalant

Joanne: Did you have a nightmare?

Lucien looks at her suspiciously then shakes his head

Lucien: It's just one of the usual dreams

Joanne: You mean you regained a part of your memory?

Lucien nodded his head silently. Indicating that he doesn't want to talk about it. Joanne reading the atmosphere nods her head before standing from the doorframe she is standing against. Then says her farewells before leaving, closing the door behind her

Pishka's Bedroom

Pishka's POV

I quickly jump out of bed once Alice leaves the room, I only open the door after waiting for almost ten minutes. At first, I planned to go looking for her when I remembered to ask for something but when I saw that the door which is usually kept locked, is unlocked. I realised this is my chance to escape. I remember when Gregory came into my room and told me about how Carlos planned to help me escape from the place. He even drew a map with directions of how I would get to my friends

However, he told me that once I got to where my friends are being imprisoned, I would be on my own. I return to the room and gently close the door before running to my bed. I didn't trust Gregory, even after he gave me a potion that would hide my presence and scent from everyone, all supernatural beings in general. Now I pull out the bottle, along with the map from under my pillow. I lift the bottle to look at the ghoulish green liquid swirling in the transparent small bottle. I open the lid of the bottle, I duck my head back as the smell revolts me. I give it one side glance

Closing my eyes and quickly gulped down half of the contents in the bottle, not caring if it was poisoned - I just want to get out of here. For a split second, I fell into a dizzy spell but I shake my head a few times. The dizziness settles as I regain my composure. Silently I open the door and look around to see or hear if there's anyone in the corridor. After one minute of no sign of movement, I scout the area on my way to start the journey with dear map in hand
