Again I'm sorry for not uploading for a long time. Way too much stuff going on. But I'm on break and decided to finally write it. Thanks to my friend, who said would bug me if I gave up on any story, it would have taken me longer to write this.

Well I hope you all enjoy and hopefully I'll have another up soon.

We have been walking in silence ever since they helped us. It's darker then black since there is no moon out tonight. But still we walk. We've been a long way away from that prison. I don't understand how anyone besides me could see in this. Yet somehow this "Mathias" can.

"How did you know we were there?" I asked. "And why was it only us you broke out?"

"You really don't know how to shut up, do you?" Mathias said.

"We watch that place closely and when we saw you go in there we got the orders to rescue you." The guy walking next to Mathias answered my question.

"Lukas! What have I told you about talking too much?"

"That's just telling them why we're helping them."

"You shut your mouth. And you guys," He pointed to Natalia and me, "quit asking questions you'll have them answered in the long run."

"Why can't you just tell us now and save the trouble of telling us later." Natalia suggested.

"Because we can't."

"And why not?"

"Orders."

"Who the hell would give the orders not to tell the people you're helping why exactly you're helping them?" I jumped in.

"Just shut up." Mathias was irritated. "Everything will go so smoothly if you quit asking questions."

"That's all we can do though." Natalia snorted.

"One thing that I don't understand is why haven't they come after us?" I asked.

"We had people behind us keeping them at bay. Now shut up."

I was doing my normal walk around the prison. Making sure everything was in order; no one trying to escape or they had no food.

The halls were a dark grey causing everything to be dark and gloomy. The lights were dim and needed to be changed but no one ever changed them until they went out and you couldn't walk in the darkness.

This place has always been a dark place. Not just because of the color or lights but because of the people. The people are just sad to look at. And sometime I wonder how everyone who works here can just get over everything. I wouldn't have chosen this "job" if my parents didn't force me into it. And if you're born into this then you can't get out…well you can but it would be in a body bag.

"They're here." Someone said.

"Who's here?" I asked him.

"There was a shipment of new prisoners. Let's go check them out." I nodded and we went down to the prisoner check in.

When we got there everyone was crowding around. It was hard to see but I could just barely see the tops of their heads. Two, five, ten. So many new prisoners were coming in. I turned to walk away. I didn't want to think about how many people would suffer. But then all of a sudden the men started doing catcalls.

"Why are they doing that?" I asked the guy next to me.

"It's a girl."

Most people we get are criminals who are men. Once in a while there would be a girl. But no one really cared for her. So why now? Why this girl?

"Alright, everyone back to your posts." Someone shouted.

Everyone dispersed but my feet wouldn't move. I just needed to see this girl. There were too many people in my way but I still stayed there until I saw two emerald eyes staring straight into my eyes. I felt even more frozen. All I could do was stare. She had wavy light brown hair that went down to her chest. She was wearing a dress. Which was odd because none of the girls wore dresses when they got in here. In fact everyone wore the same thing when they got here. But she wasn't wearing the normal uniform. Neither was this guy who came up to her and pulled her away from my gaze.

"Ah, we're here." Mathias said pulling me out of my daze.

"What do you mean?" Natalia asked.

"This is where we are going to be picked up."

"What?"

"What my friend means, is that we need to fly to where we are going." Lukas interrupted.

"Fly-"

I was cut off by a helicopter starting up. I ran to the top of the hill to look down to see that helicopter waiting for us.

"Well buddy let's go." Mathias came up behind me. "Ever been in one of these things before?" I shook my head stunned. I'm afraid of flying. That's why I've taken boats anywhere I went. "Don't be scared."

"I-it's just-"

"Flight isn't a really scary thing." Lukas tried to comfort me.

"Yeah, unless we have difficulties and we start heading to the ground and –BOOM- we're dead." Mathias started laughing.

"Don't listen to him." Lukas said. "He's crazy and one day his smart ass remarks are going to get him killed." With that he and Mathias walked down the hill.

"Who ever thought we'd be out of there." Natalia spoke in a soft voice.

"Who would want us out though? We've never known anyone out of that prison."

"Well I guess we'll find out."

We were in the helicopter now and I was not comfortable. Mathias was laughing at my discomfort and Lukas was trying to get him to shut up but it was no use.

The sun was peaking over the faraway mountains. But we were heading straight for that sun. And as it got brighter I had to shield me eyes. One side effect about being able to see in the dark is that it's harder for me to see during the day.

"Here." Lukas said tossing me a pair of sunglasses. "He said you'd need these."

I've never told anyone about my "condition" except Roderich. "Who are you guys?"

"Why do you want to know?" Mathias got defensive.

"For one, I'd like to know who rescued us then I'd like to know if you knew a person."

"Alliance." Lukas said glaring at Mathias.

"Do you guys know a guy named Roderich?" I jumped.

They looked at each other and their eyes told it all. Mathias was the one to answer my question. "We used to. He vanished a couple of months ago. We've searched for him but haven't come across any signs that would tell us if he's dead or alive. So right now we've assumed he's dead."

I gasped. I never thought he would have disappeared. He was always there. Even when I had to go.

I got a letter in the mail today. It was from Roderich. He's been traveling around the world trying to find Elizaveta. He even went back into the prison and found nothing but a prisoner shipment. And ever since then he's been following the clues. The letter contained a post card from Venezuela. And a written work from Roderich.

I never thought you would have settled down in a small place with a job! You never struck me as that kind of man. But you know the world doesn't change but the people.

I was so close to finding her, Gil. She was here I know it because in this prison there was a record that an unknown girl came with some others. I said that she said her name was Liz. That's her, Gil! I would always call her Liz. She's leaving me clues. I know I'm going to find her soon.

Roderich

He's going all over the world finding that there are other prisons just like our own that no one knew about. I thought we were the only ones. There's another thing I guess I failed to think of. As for me I'm just trying to stay low so no one can find me. I hope it's enough until Roderich can find Elizaveta then we all can find some place to be safe.

Thanks for reading. :D

Hope you enjoyed.
