At first Katy Bennick was appalled. To see how a living being could hurt another living being was not logical to the 15 year old.

Then she was frightened. News spread around quickly, and to find out that Blair was missing as well, well, those two incidents had to be related.

Who was next?

She gazed upon the body that layed on the bed, bloody, torn, and bashed. A leg bent at a funny angle, stitches across the forehead. And he's the strongest of all of us. How do they fight, if their strongest-their bravest-is gone? How do they fight if Rumple is gone? Katy didn't know what to do.

Normally, she hated hospitals, or anything to do with blood and gore, or medicine and needles. But the doctors asked her to stay after she left that odd meeting, even when they were gone and the alarm rung. They kept muttering something about her being a rank 8, being there at the scene, it was something along the lines of that. Katy-usually an open person-wasn't listening. She was in a state of shock, and nothing seemed to faze her, except for Rumple's condition. She still couldn't understand why someone (even Loki) could do something this...evil! To a child, still trying to find their place in this world. To a freak.

"You sure you want to stay here? I know how much you hate the infirmary." A quiet voice peaks up from the doorway. Katy gazed upon her friend, a girl with kind brown eyes, and black and red, long hair. Her skin was blessed with the sun, and light freckles dot her nose. Adira.

"No, I'm..I...I'm s-staying here. I'm staying here." Katy firmly stated. The young 13-year old Adira gazed oddly upon the blonde, but she stepped in, to take a look at Rumple's condition. For a while, the two girls just stared at the bloody, torn, and bruised body, Adira's eyes flickering around every now and then to prevent the body from catching on fire. Adira was a pyrogenetic, and Katy was a telekintic and a kinetic energy manipulator. How the two became friends, well, no one will ever know. They were opposites, but now, they were too shocked to mind each other's company. The sound was silent, except for the beeps that came from the machines that kept Rumple alive. The girls just focused on the rhythm of his breathing, until Katy spoke up.

"Why are you even here?" she asked. Adira was taken back by the sudden question, was at a loss for words. Adira really had no idea why she was here, conversing with Katy. She did have an idea however, why she was in the infirmary. But she couldn't tell Katy that. It was top secret.

"Um, well, yeah, about that. You see, I came here to...make sure you were okay! Yeah, yeah!" Adira suddenly stated, a little suspicious. Lucky for her, Katy was too much in a state of shock, to realize the tension breaking out of Adira's voice.

"I'm fine, I'm just confused. Why would someone, even Loki, hurt a child this bad? Why did I have to stay here even after the alarm rang? Why did everything fall apart after Blair came? I just want things to go back to normal in the Facility, but I can't seem to catch a break?" Katy broke down. Adira's small structure seemed to be the only comfort at the moment.

"Look, things aren't going to get better if you just break down. You have to accept the fact that we're wanted, and even though Blair brought bad luck to this facility, doesn't mean we should be blaming her. You should probably head to your dorm room, to cool off. Your roommates Lumen Vita, and Dathan Royce are probably worried sick!" Adira suggested, leading Katy out of the infirmary. Due to the lack of needles and other medical things, Katy's head cleared, and she headed down to the dormitary.

Adira started to rummage through the medicine cabinets, and through all the files. Where was that file? Where was it? Adira started to get flustered, her warm brown eyes turning a dangerous red. Until she tumbled upon a door. A door that read

WARNING!
DO NOT OPEN THIS DOOR IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE AUTHORIZATION!

Adira took a tug at the silver door handle, only to find it locked. Of course, why do you have to be such an idiot? Adira gazed at the door long enough for it to catch fire, and explode off, making a loud popping noise. She winced. I hoped no one heard that. Adira pushed open the door, and let out a loud sigh.

You saved my life Saphrina, it's time for me to save your's.

Her eyes fluttered opened to the dark, something she was used to seeing for the past 3 years. She was living blindly with eyes, the dark warping her once sane mind. Who would be sane after living in the dark for 3 years, with no physical contact or social interactions, besides the occasional beatings and blackouts. She had no clue what she looked like anymore, and she struggled to remember names and memories that were once her past. Heck, she struggled to remember her name. Here, she was known as Subject 1. It was a name engraved into her soul, and it took a toll on the girl. She struggles to speak anymore, and only risks walking to get her daily meal. By the looks of it, it was already here. She struggled to walk towards the smell, her limp leg dragging outwards. As she walked on towards the smell, her leg hit something. Two things by the looks of it, and they were quite large things. Her empty cell, filled with nothing but concrete, had something in it. It was a simple request to some, but to actually have something in an empty room was a luxury to her. But now she was started to regret that request, as the two things started to stir. They got up one by one, and they seemed exhausted. They were people. They were people! Oh, now she regrets regretting that request at all! She couldn't believe it! Maybe her eyes and insane mind are playing tricks with her, but she doesn't care! They're are actual people in front of her, and that's all that matters.

"Who, who are you? Wha-where are we?" a feminine voice asks. The music, the music of voices. They're playing in her ear. She decides to try out her voice as well.

"I'm Saphrina. Welcome to a cell so-somewhere in HYDRA."

Yep, another little cliffhanger. Here are the amazing authors that sent in the amazing, super duper awesome characters (or mentioned characters)-

Adira: Chloe999

Dathan "Dath" Royce: AsgardianGrizzly

Lumen Vita: Dame Rivere

Thank you again (submissions are always opened). So, we learned some things today. Um, what's Adira doing? What do you think she's getting? What's the connection between her and Saphrina? What do you think HYDRA wants with Saphrina? Hey, I'm getting better with updates, yeah! So, I'm kinda happy with were I got with this chapter! See ya'll later!
