Lily wandered down the halls of the facility, wincing with every step. Keys. She needed keys to let them out.
But she didn't have those.

She didn't even have a weapon.

Right! A weapon.

Glancing around, lily spotted a closet. She looked inside, finding a variety of different janitor tools. But instead of being discouraged, Lily grabbed a hammer. It was heavy in her hands, but it could do damage.

Right! She could do this! She could definitely do this! She just needed to be like bubba!

Yeah!

And be like Aiden!

Confident in herself, lily wandered down the halls. She tried to ignore the pain in her ankle.

She gulped, putting on a brave face. Yeah she could do this! Screw anyone who said she couldn't do it!
She heard a patter. She turned. Her heart dropped.

Phantoms. Lots of them.

Lily gulped. Right. Just like Ben! Just like Ben! She swung the hammer against its ribs with a scream.
"DIEEEEEEEE!" She yelled. She hits its chest.

The phantom shrieked, stumbling back. But it didn't die. Lily gulped.

Oh Frig. She was so dead wasnt she?

Screaming, Lily bolted. She ran down the halls as fast as she could with her injured ankle. Oh god oh god! What was she doing?!

She ran and ran, small tears falling. "Help help helppppp!"

She ran and—









THUMP!












"...Lily?"

Lily looked up, to be met with the worried eyes of Ashlyn. Oh thank gosh! Someone she knew. Crying, lily tackled her in a hug.
"Asssssssshhhhh!" She bawled, just happy to see someone she knew.
Ashlyn tensed. Ah fuck. A crying child. What the hell was she supposed to do?
Ben and Aiden came running up behind her. Lily looked up at them, tears in her big brown eye. Ben bent down and scooped her up. He looked her over, worried at all the bruises.
Lily sniffled.
Aiden looked worried, not knowing what to say. "I uh—lily? What happened?"

Tyler shoved him aside. "Move only child. Let the brothers happen this."
"In this situation do I also count—" Logan asked.
"Your a younger brother no." Tyler said. He bent down, cupping Lily's cheek and wiping her tears. "Shhh. It's ok. It's not the end of the world. You get hurt in these situations, that's what happens. Just take a deep breath for me, ok?"
Lily hiccuped. She trembled. Ben rubbed her arms.

Taylor bent down next to Tyler, Ashlyn leaned in close to Aiden. Logan, stuck in a wheelchair, rolled a little closer.
Lily hiccuped. "I-I fell and ran into those things a-and—"
"Hey.." Tyler said, his voice firm, but concerned. "One at a time. Where did you fall from?"
"The vents.." Lily muttered.
"The vents? Why were you in the vents?" Taylor asked.
"Cause.." Lily sniffled. "Cause we couldn't get out the cell so mom and dad let me go in the vents to find keys."
The others shared a look. So the adults were here. Ben squished Lily's cheeks a little. Tyler hummed.
"Lily, what happened next?" He asked.
"I..I ran into those thingys. A-and I fell in the vents. T-then I got out and walked out to look for the keys.." lily sniffled, wiping her eyes. Ben took over the job for her. "My ankle really hurts a-and my chest."
Tyler hummed. "Well you're gonna be ok, okay? We'll find the keys, ok? And Ben's gonna make you feel all better."

Lily sniffled. "Mkay..."

She didn't know what would happen next, but right now she didn't care.









She was with her big brother. She was safe.
