"Unnnnnggghh, turn off the damn light."

I snuggled further into my warm pillow in a futile attempt to hide from my mother's inevitable wake-up call. My pillow began to rumble under my face at that, but I ignored it and burrowed in further, trying to hide from the blinding lights.

Wait, rumble?

Now that I think about it, this pillow is awfully warm and suspiciously solid.

Peeking open my eyes, I come face to face with a wall of intricate tattoos.

Well that's new.

Suddenly, the events of the week came rushing back to me. Guilty… Fox River… New cellmates…Have fun boys.

I screamed for all I was worth and launched myself across the cell and out of Michael Scofield's arms for the second time in less than 12 hours. Sucre snapped out of bed immediately, looking around for a threat, but only finding his new cellmate plastered against the wall and crippled by fear.

I searched frantically around the cell for some sort of weapon or protection, but only found the same pair of mesmerizing blue eyes from the day before. Again, hot damn.

Michael slowly stood, never once taking his eyes off of me and I blushed seeing the artwork adorning his arms and torso.

"So... " he drawled. "Not a morning person I take it?"

I stared at him bewildered for a minute, but flushed bright red when my sleep-addled brain finally realized that it was Michael's toned chest that I had been using as a pillow. Seeing my red face, Michael smirked in a way that did nothing to rein in my blush.

Bad Katie! He's a criminal, remember? Who knows what he's in here for. Remember, stick to the plan, it's just like high school. It doesn't matter how cute he is, get your shit together!

A bark of laughter broke me out of my thoughts as my cellmates laughed. "Thanks for the compliment, darling," he chuckled. Wait, what?

I hung my head in my hands and groaned when I realized that I had said the last part aloud.

"I have GOT to work on this whole brain-to-mouth filter thing."

"I don't know, mami, I think you're doing just fine," Sucre teased.

"Ignoring my previous statement, however truthful it may be- (Damn it!) Sucre, stop laughing at me, you know I can't control it- I should probably introduce myself. The name's Katherine Barnes, but you can call me Katie."

I grinned up the two men in front of me as they looked down on me with the goofiest smiles on their faces. The moment was shattered by the bellow of "TIER TIME."

In an instant, the smile slid off of my face and I whipped around to see the metal bars sliding back, exposing me to every single con in A-Block. I edged out of the door to get a feel for my "home sweet home" when three things happened.

One, I could see John shoving his way through the crowd towards my cell as fast as he could.

Two, someone grabbed my arms and shoved me out of my cell and up against the railing, hard.

Three, my regulation blue button up was torn open, revealing my plain white sports bra as my attacker slammed me back into the bar when I struggled in his grip. His musty breath was hot on my face, I could hear my heart jackrabbiting in my chest. He was a creepy man, the sort you see on trial for rape or pedophilia, with a wispy goatee and a gaunt face. He leered at me in what I'm sure was his attempt at a seductive smile.

"Well, lookee what we got here fellas." He smiled, revealing his revolting and yellowed teeth. "We got ourselves a lady up in the joint!" His shout turned most of the heads in the block, everyone waiting eagerly for a show. Tears ran down my face as I looked around frantically for someone, anyone to pry the pervert off of me. "Name's Theodore Bagwell, but a sweet young thing like you can call me T-Bag."

He pulled out his pocket and held it towards me. "Take this darling and no one will touch you here." Looking me up and down, he licked his lips. "Well, nobody except me."

My lips twisted up into a sneer and before anyone could stop me, my infamous attitude came busting out

"Okay, first things first, back the hell up sir, please and thank you!" His face went slack-jawed and his grip loosened enough for me to slip out of his grip and move back a bit. "Next, we have GOT to do something about your manners! Tell me, if your mama knew you were trying to hurt a girl, what would she say?"

I glared at him with my best disappointed mother hen look,as I absentmindedly buttoned my shirt back up. The second floor looked on, amused as the only girl on the block gave this douche the dressing-down of his life. I could sense T-Bag's simmering rage from 10 feet away.

I hesitantly moved back over to my attacker, keeping an eye on his hands to watch for ay sudden movements. I could see Michael tense out of the corner of my eye and waved my hand in a reassuring gesture in his direction, keeping my eyes fixed on T-Bag's. I lowered my voice to a deadly whisper.

"Listen up Theodore and listen good. If you touch me again, I can guarantee that you will not be walking away with all body parts intact." He laughed raspily in my face and glanced back at his men. "Sweetheart, you couldn't hurt a fly, we heard your little confession to our local Mafia man." I matched his threatening grin with one of my own.

"Oh, I know that. That's more something they would do." With that, I gestured behind me to the stormy faces of Abruzzi and his gang, Sucre, Michael, and a couple of others staring down T-Bag's gang menacingly.

"Get the picture?" I smiled brilliantly as the group of unsettling men retreated, whispering heatedly. I turned to thank my protectors only to run straight into Michael's broad chest. I looked up at him warily, but softened remembering how wonderfully warm and safe I felt in his arms earlier. The small smile he shot me sent tingles up and down my spine as he slung an arm around my waist and led the way to the dining hall.

I am not sure if the chapter titles are messed up, so if they are, could someone please tell me how to fix it? Thank you!
