Suddenly, the room erupted with light, blinding me into closing my eyes. The low sound of electricity sounded around the room. Slowly, I opened my eyes, adjusting to the light. It was a small, all white, room. My blue eyes went wide at the girl in front of me. Her body, pale as a sheet of paper. With cuts, bruises, and blood. Her brunette hair covered her face so I couldn't see it. I looked down, seeing my ankle was tied to the chair i sat in by a lock. 

Suddenly, a male voice rang out. "Alex Strife." The voice stated my name and I felt my pulse rise. At hearing the voice, the girl woke with a start. Her hair brushed away from her face as she gasped. 

I knew her. "Arianna?" I spoke, confused. She looked at me and stared into my eyes.

"Omg Alex! I don't know where we are but I got hurt!" She spoke, fear in her words as she stuttered. The males voice rung out again.

"Arianna has done terrible things, Alex." I was about to speak but was interrupted. "She has been abusing your sister. Tanya." I felt my blood run cold and my anger turn hot. I looked at Arianna but tears were running down her cheeks, guilty. "Will you let her go scot free? Or punish her for her crime?" The male asked. I looked at the table, now seeing a knife. It shined in the light and I stood, picking it up swiftly. The chain to my ankle fell off with a clink, and the chair fell back.

Before I realized it, I heard Ariannas blood, scuttering scream. I felt the red hot liquid stain my hands and drip quietly onto the ground. 'Why did I do that...?' I thought to myself as my vision became blurry. A clink sounded about when I dropped the knife. 

I felt myself fall. Before I realized it, my body hit the ground hard, and I went unconscious.
