The picture and the last picture are of Corey

After 2 hours of crying and hugging, Corey follows me to my room "This is mine" I stop at my door and Corey stops by the door next to mine."Hey! looks like were neighbors" I smile

"Just like old times" I nod and walk into my room

"goodnight Corey"

"goodnight Ally" After that I slowly fall asleep.
"Ally, how do you feel?"

"like a piece of sh*t" I scoff

"That'll happen a lot, but don't worry, the feeling of the chip will be more comfertable and the feeling will lessen with more tests. Now go back in your tube" The scientist waves me off

"That wont be necessary" Max walks up "I have some jobs for her" Max pulls me by the arm out of the lab to the worst place I could think of. "Here" Max hands me a knife

"What's this for?" I ask, already knowing what I have to do

"We found this piece of garbage trying to raid our stock building" To security guards bring in a struggling person with a bag over their head "kill it"

"Take off the bag. I want to remember the face of an innocent person for the rest of my life" The security guards take off the bag to reveal a boy about 3 years older than me "What's your name?"

"Corey, and I wasn't raiding, I was looking. You have a very impressive stock pile for a guy with all these people to feed"

"Your smart for a 12 year old. Master Max I cant kill him!"

"Well what do you want me to do?"

"Keep him?"

"ugh fine..show him around. Take him to tube 2 and meet me at the testing lab when your done" I nod and help Corey off the ground

"I'm Ally, come on, you'll be safe with me"

I jolt awake "I thought the dreams stopped?" I look outside and its still dark. Maybe I just need to let off steam, yeah that sounds good. I change into grey sweatpants, a blue hoodie, and pull on some grey boots. Where should I go? I follow the floodlights til I end up at the training room. "This will work" I whisper and open the door.

About 30 minutes of just pacing I climb up a large net hanging from the ceiling and start to sing

"I pirouette in the dark I see the stars through me Tired mechanical heart Beats til the song disappears

Somebody shine a light I'm frozen by the fear in me Somebody make me feel alive And shatter me So cut me from the line Dizzy, spinning endlessly Somebody make me feel alive And shatter me!

Shatter me! Somebody make me feel alive And shatter me!

If only the clockworks could speak I wouldn't be so alone We burn every magnet and spring And spiral into the unknown

Somebody shine a light I'm frozen by the fear in me Somebody make me feel alive And shatter me So cut me from the line Dizzy, spinning endlessly Somebody make me feel alive And shatter me!

Shatter me! Somebody make me feel alive And shatter me!

If I break the glass, then I'll have to fly There's no one to catch me if I take a dive I'm scared of changing, the days stay the same The world is spinning but only in gray If I break the glass, then I'll have to fly There's no one to catch me if I take a dive I'm scared of changing, the days stay the same The world is spinning but only in gray

Somebody shine a light I'm frozen by the fear in me Somebody make me feel alive And shatter me So cut me from the line Dizzy, spinning endlessly Somebody make me feel alive And shatter me! Shatter me! Somebody make me feel alive And shatter me!"

"You're an amazing singer Ally" I spin around to see Corey sitting on the edge of the net "Still zoning out and easily scared but an amazing singer"

"You scared the hell out of me Corey! Don't do that!"

"A simple thank you would sufice"

"Thanks but you shouldn't have heard me. I don't like people listening to me sing, so I pretend I cant."

"Well that's to bad, 'cause I love girls who can sing" Hold up wait, was that a flirt attempt? Corey throws he a handsome smirk "Now I'd get ready for the day if I were you" and climbs down.

That was definitely a flirt attempt...Holy sh*t
