"Miss Ranger?" I stared blankly at the strange blond man wearing a white coat standing in front of me. "Miss Ranger?" He kept repeating himself. Was he asking me something? Panic fluttered slightly in my stomach and I began to shake. The strange man shook his head sadly and turned to walk away.
Answer him, just say "Yes sir?". Her loud, smooth voice floated through the cool air around me. I looked around, trying to find her. I laughed slightly as I spotted her hiding under the white cot in the corner of my white room. Gotchya Raz. This was our normal morning game of hide and seek. She smiled widely, before looking towards the man that was now standing on the other side of the room, looking at me, shocked at my laughter.
Come on Ash, say "Yes, sir?" Please? My head shifted to the side slightly, and confused I silently asked her Why? She laughed and sauntered over to me. She was wearing her usual black leggings and red corset, her beautiful long brown hair, roughly cut at the front, was left out of her normal pony tail. The slight change made me uncomfortable. She noticed my scrutiny and my gaining panic and reached for her hair, pulling it up and tying it with her black ribbon. Calm. We need to look relatively sane Ash Bug. Come on now, Say "Yes sir" I giggled slightly.
Relatively sane? Why? She looked at me with the look I was beginning to get used to seeing. Are you insane? She asked, her face incredulous. I laughed loudly and she sighed. Right, stupid thing to ask. Of course we're insane. Hmph.
The strange man was looking at me, smiling slightly. I felt my face from the inside. I had a huge grin spread across my face. My eyes were wide from laughing. I looked happy. Razmataz, why should I pretend to be sane? I asked quietly. She looked at me, her attention caught by the use of her full name, something I very rarely used. She could see I was slightly frightened, but mostly panicking. I want to get out of here. Dont you? Im getting sick of all this white! She shouted the last word, making me jump.
Okay. I replied simply.
"Yes, sir?" I asked timidly. The man looked shocked, but smiled, his Topaz eyes dancing with joy. "Are you hungry?" He asked kindly. Not used to communicating with anyone other than Raz, Tiger and Singe, I stayed silent. The panic bubbled. I couldn't talk to this man. He was strange, foreign, pale white, cold emanating from his every pore, his inhuman looks as bright as his teeth. I didnt know him, and even if I did, I shouldn't trust him.
Say, "Yes, a little" Its alright. I'll protect you, . I'll keep us safe. Raz walked over, her red velvet high heel boots making a sharp clicking sound on the white linoleum. She stood behind me, her tiny hand came to rest on my shoulder, and I visibly relaxed. "Yes, A little." My voice was almost silent and cracked from lack of use, but the man heard me. Smiling hugely, he nodded. "I'll bring you some lunch, would you like that Miss Ranger?"
Say "Thank you, that would be lovely." Smile, and look him in the eyes. I nodded, both at Raz's instructions and at the man. "Thank you, that would be l-lovely" I stuttered on the last word.
The strange man had taken a step towards me, curiosity burning through his eyes.
