I woke up in a cold sweat. Someone was in my room. I could hear them. I made a torch out of my wrist. It was very small, but the light it emitted was just strong enough to eliminate the whole room.

Lab rat

I shot out of bed. There was the voice again! I crouched down and shown on my torch under my bed. Nothing was there.

That's what you are to them, a lab rat.

I looked around, still I could see nothing.

They'll use you for their experiments and then when their done with you they kick you out in the street.

"no!" I yelled, not sure if anyone could hear me. "They wouldn't do that to me."

What do you know about them? For all you know they sent those robot after you.

"they didn't" I yelled. Rex and the others wouldn't do that ! "they saved me from those Robots."

Have you seen Providence? I think they can afford a few robots.

I felt myself begin to panic. Was I finally going mad? Why should I listen to some random voice? But what if the voice is right? But Rex and the others didn't seem like bad people.

You're a prisoner.

I didn't reply, I was trying hard not to listen to what the voice was saying.

If you don't believe me try and leave.

"I am not their prisoner." I yelled. If I wasn't already mad, this voice was going to drive me mad.

I quietly walked to the door. It instantly opened when I touched it. I walked out side. The hall way was black, not a single guard in sight.

"See." I whispered. "if I was a prisoner there would be guards outside my door."

The voice said nothing.

Using my torch I navigated trough the deserted passages. I was about to turn back when suddenly the halls began to flash a red light.

"Intruder in the hallways! Intruder in the hallways!" yelled a lady's voice.

I told you.

I began to panic. The voice had been right! It was providence that was after me! how could I have been so silly as to trust some strangers?

I heard the pounding of feet coming from some parts of the halls. I switched of my torch and broke into a run. I wasn't going to let Providence catch me. not again.

Without much thought, I turned my legs into motor powered roller skates, increasing my speed tenfold. The roller skates where very loud, Providence would easily know where I was .

I sped through another hall when I crashed into something. I was momentarily pushed back.

It was Rex.

"Izzy, what are you doing?" he said over the booming wailing siren. "Someone broke into Providence!"

"No." I said ." I'm just breaking out of prison." And with that I sped past him before he fully understood what I said.

After that, I began to meet guards dressed in black and white. They would point their guns at me, but I was too fast.

After numerous minutes of running trough random halls way I found myself in a closed air station where a couple of planes were parked. The problem was that dozens of guards were guarding the planes.

Bit tat that moment I would have done anything to escape. I took a deep breath and was about to run into the room when a hand grabbed my arm. It was Rex.

I didn't even give him time to say anything. I turned my arms into giant robot arms and tossed right over my head and into the room. Of course now everyone knew I was there.

Rex shot to his feet. "Izzy, what are you doing? We are trying to help you!"

I tried to zoom past him but he grabbed me with his giant robot arm.

"Help me?" I yelled as the guards surrounded us. "You all were trying to imprison me!"

I kicked him as hard as I could with a robot leg. He bit his lip but didn't let go of me.

"Where did you get that idea?" yelled Rex.

"Rex put her down." Said a calm voice. Out of the mass of guards around us five figures ran towards us. "Rex you're only making matters worse." Repeated Six.

Rex reluctantly let go of me and took a step back. I was preparing myself for another sprint.

"Isabella, why are you trying to leave in the middle of the night?" asked Ceasar.

"Yeah, I need my beauty sleep." Yawned Bobo.

"Why wouldn't I leave!" I yelled. "I'm you're prisoner!"

I look of surprise crossed all their faces, even Six's.

"Prisoner?" asked Dr Holliday. "Isabella, you where never our prisoner. You are free to go when you please."

"Maybe at more reasonable hours." Said Bobo.

"But, why all the sirens ad lights when I left my room?" I yelled, my head was whirling.

"that would be my fault." Said the last figure. " I thought your where a spy sent by the Consortium."

"Circe, why would the Consortium send a 12 year old?" said Rex, he didn't sound mad, on the contrary the idea seemed funny to him.

Circe just ignored him and turned to me. "Isabella, I am so sorry. I didn't mean for this to happen. I was an accident, cross my heart and hope to die."

At that moment all my machinery disappeared. This Circe girl had just made the "cross your heart" promise, that's the unbreakable promise.

I covered my mouth with my bare hands. What had I just done? That stupid voice had just played me like a card. How could I have believed it!

I took a step back. I turned back to Rex who also had caused his machinery to disappear.

"I am so sorry!" I said. And I kept on repeating the phrase over and over again.

"No Biggy." Said Rex, shrugging. "We get false alarms all the time."

Fool, they will destroy you.

And as if to prove his point, an aeroplane just up and exploded in flames.

There were shriek of surprise from everyone in the room. Guards when to get fire extinguishers. During this time I stood stock still. Staring at the flames. Fear had engulfed my body, making me unable to move.

Then I clenched my head. It felt like someone was sticking needle in it. I fell to the ground, tears running down my face. It hurt really badly.

"Stop it!" I yelled. I was surrounded my flames. "Help me! Please!" In the distance a heard a high pitch screech. Like a car suddenly breaking . "Help me please." I sobbed.

Then I felt some one gently help me up and pull me into a small hug. I continued to cry into the person's shoulder. My head, he flames, everything, it all hurt too much.

"Hush. Don't worry, everything will be alright now." It was Circe!

"I am so sorry." I sobbed.

Slowly the pain began to disappear. The flames disappeared and trough my slow drying tears I could see the other were standing around us. Everyone including Bobo, looked worried.

"interesting, I believe the fire must have triggered a painful memory from her past." Said Ceasar. Dr Holliday shot him a look. "Ceasar this is not the time."

Circe helped me to my feet,.

"Gave us quite scare." Said Six.

"Izzy, One of these days I'll have to show you how to escape for a state of the art base." Joked Rex, smiling at me. I tried to smile back.

"Come on Isabella. There's a mug of hot chocolate waiting for you in the kitchens." Said Circe leading me out of the air station.
