I wake up during the middle of the night, and my stomach is growling.

'Wow, I forgot to eat. I'm so smart.' I think, and get up. There's fuzzy shoes at the bottom, and I slip them on, not thinking. Get out and go into the living room. I stretch, and rub my eyes. When I finish that, I see a giant banner and the lights are on. The banner says: "Happy 16 birthday Akia!"

"Whose 'Akia'? Is that Doc?" I whisper, and walk around in this new world that I am in. I see Tim. With Sydney.

"No, Tim." I whisper and almost topple over just looking at that, the world starts to spin, and I lose breath. Sydney notices me and walks over.

"Akia, are you okay?"

"What? I'm not Akia!"

"Tim. Talk to your daughter."

"Hey surgeon, what's wrong?" My senses regain after this. 'Surgeon? No. I need to investigate this more, my mind has sent me here for a reason.'

"Oh, nothing. I'm fine. Sorry for worrying you."

"Oh, okay. Have some cake."

"Maybe later. Thanks."

"Okay, if you say so, sweets."

I investigate the room a bit more, until I see a figure in a dark coat. Its in the corner of the room, and I walk towards it. It just stands there, as if it doesn't care. The figure looks paranoid, as if its seen something that cannot be unseen?

"Hey."

"Hey, Akia, nice party." Its my voice.

"Thanks, hey could you come a bit closer?"

"Why? Tim told me not to. That if I got any closer, he would slice me."

"I won't let him do that, please I need you to come closer." Then the figure comes out of the darkness. Its wearing a collar. My eyes don't filter it at first but when it does, I get terrified.

Its me! With cuts, and wearing a leash. It looks like I'm acting like someones pet. My hairs all knotted, and my bodies all cut up. What happened was I someones test rat! I lose my breath again, with the noise in the background.

I almost faint, until a few seconds later, Maddie's trying to calm me down, and I'm in the hotel.

"Hey, hey, babe, relax, its okay." He's saying. "What happened?"

"I was trying..." I stop, I'm still not breathing right.

"You're hyperventilating, here I'll get a paper bag."

"No, no its okay, I'll be fine, thanks."

"What happened?"

"Its coming back..."

"Good."

"What, it terrified me! It was me, wearing a leash, acting like someones pet!" He shows sympathy in his eyes, and sits me down. Gets me a blanket, and a glass of water.

"What happened in your dream?"

"Okay, I was apparently someone named Akia, who is 16 in my dream." He nods, and I continue. "People offer me cake and stuffs, but I had to decline, I saw a figure in the darkness, so I walked towards it. And it was me. I was wearing a leash, half naked, like bra and underwear-"

"Yum."

"I'm serious. I had cuts all up and down my body."

"Kinkey."

"Dude."

"Sorry. 1 more?"

"Fine."

"Someone must like it rough."

"Oh shut up." I say, I'm still drinking my water. And he looks at me. He's staring at me.

"What?"

"Oh nothing." He looks away and smiles. "Continue?"

"If you think you can handle the truth."

"Uh, puh duh." He says and starts making those noises people do when they were just doubted falsely. And I continue:

"I was like someones pet/lab subject, and was paranoid to make the slightest of movements or Tim-"

"You're husband?"

"Yes, would apparently slice me."

"Well, thats not something a husband should be doing to a wife."

"But I have a feeling we weren't married at the time, that it was after like a divorce or something, because he was with his ex-wife or wife or Sydney or whatever."

"What did Tim call you?"

"As me or the girl?"

"The girl."

"He called me 'Surgeon'."

"Weird. Wanna poke around a bit?"

"Do you have a DNA sample?"

"No, but I bet someone's body does."

"Maddie."

"What?"

"Thats just wrong."

"Think about it this way: were just getting a sample from the police."

"Is that a way to think about it?"

"It is now. Just come on. I know who might have one."
