"I slept well until I was woken by someone screaming bloody murder."
•••
SHE RAN DOWN a white hallway, tripping over her feet and falling face first to the ground. Pushing herself off the clean white tiles, Leanne began to run again, picking up her pace. "There's nowhere to go." A woman's voice said out of nowhere. Continuing to run, she looked up to see speakers near the ceiling every couple meters. She turned a corner and ran faster. The sound of footsteps could be heard behind her. She ran past a glass room and got a glance of an empty lab. Pushing the doors open she closed them and ran to crouch behind a counter. She was startled when she looked across the room and saw a person behind glass. The first thing she processed wasn't that the person was being held prisoner, it was what the person looked like. The man, if you could even call it that, had black veins crawling up his face. His skin was a grey, and he had a black liquid dripping down his chin. "The cranks would get you first." The woman said. "You wouldn't want that, would you." Now the woman's voice was close, not coming out of the speakers. Looking across the room to her right, she saw another door. She got up and ran to it as fast as her legs could move, which didn't feel fast enough. She ran down another white hallway, and rounded a corner when she was stopped in her steps. A blonde woman, dressed in all white stood in front of her. "You can't continue this. Just calm down and we'll talk." The woman said, her voice commanding but calm, like a mother telling her child off softly. "What you're doing in the Maze Trials is wrong." She spoke unwillingly, like she was living someone else's dream. Looking towards the glass, however, the reflection she saw was her own, just younger. "If you believe you can help them, then you can do it from inside." The woman nodded her head, and the girl spun on her heels, but was stopped in her tracks due to four men standing in front of her, wearing full black. Two of them grabbed onto her, but she wasn't going down without putting up a fight. She kicked and squirmed but nothing happened. The men had a tight grip on her, and throughout her attempt to get away from them, a searing pain shot down the side of her neck, and she was met with darkness.
Opening her eyes, she found herself in a round tank of water. There wasn't much space to move around. She started panicking, hitting on the glass. The blonde woman stood on the other side of the tank, watching her with a blank expression. Leanne went to scream, but stopped. She couldn't breath. The oxygen mask on her face had been knocked off, and now the tube leading to the oxygen tank was filling up with water. She held her breath until she couldn't, and then she inhaled water. Unwillingly. She was drowning herself and she didn't mean to. She continued to hit the glass, then let out one loud scream as everything turned black.
Leanne bolts up in her sleep, woken by a screaming. The screaming doesn't stop until she realizes it's her own. Panting, she tries to forget the horrible images she'd seen. Footsteps were heard and Gally rushes into the small cabin she was lucky to call her own.
