When she woke, Sparrow found herself standing in the middle of the courtyard, the corpse of the beast in front of her, covered in blood.

'My arm! My leg, the pains gone!' She thought with glee, true enough she realised her leg didn't hurt no more and neither did her arm, looking down at both she saw that the wounds had turned into small scabs, not as fatal as she remembered.

'What...happened?'she thought to herself before her eyes widened in shock as blood dripped from her face onto the floor. Quickly wiping her chin she found her fingers and arms were covered in fresh blood up to her elbows. Scared and confused Sparrow looked around her, trying to find Joseph and Sebastian, she spots them through the gap of the giant iron gate that she remembered heading too before the beast caught her. She starts running towards them until Sebastian pulls out a shotgun and aims it at her.

"What the fuck are you?" Sebastian growls as he aims right at her head, making her put her arms up in defence,"I don't know what freak show you pulled in there but you are not coming with us" he finished. The confused girl could feel tears threatening to spill over her eyes and her lip wavered, on the brink of breaking down.

'Surely he couldn't be serious?'she thought to herself, being in the state she was she didn't want to be left alone again.

Silent tears poured down the 10 year olds Aqua green eyes as she hugged her knees on top of the bed she slept on, she had been sat there for so long that her eyes had become used to the dark. She looked back at her pillow before reaching over and grabbing her teddy, clutching it close to her chest.

'It's ok it's ok, it's just a dream' she thought to herself, but the tears continued to flow down her cheeks. Her sniffs echoed down the hospital hallway, nobody was awake. At least that's what she thought.

"Hey" the bandaged man appeared at the window of her door, making her look at him. Ruvik. She had seen him around the hospital, sometimes passing him in the hallway or seeing him after curfew, she considered him a friend ever since he found her bear for her. The door opened and he stepped into the small room, closing the door behind him.

"I can hear you from all the way down the hallway" he muttered as he sat beside the girl,"why are you crying?" He asked in a hushed tone, though not expecting an answer.

The little girl shrugged and wiped her eyes, embarrassed someone has caught her crying.

"Nightmares?" He asked and she nodded,"about your parents?"

She put a hand out and wavered it, maybe.

"Don't stress yourself out too much about it ok? That's one of the reasons you have nightmares in the first place" he said before awkwardly standing up, he didn't really know her that well, and if a nurse caught him in a patients room they may think he's ... Up to something. The little girl quickly made a grab for his sleeve, halting him before he made another step.

"What's the matter?" He asked, she just shook him a little,"you want me to stay here?"

She nodded before pointing to the chair in the corner of the room.

"Fine, I'll sit here until you fall asleep" he said, although he was a little annoyed, he couldn't help be reminded of when Laura used to stick with him when he had a nightmare, singing to him softly until he fell asleep. As if she could tell what he was thinking about her bright eyes blinked at him in the dark.

"I'm not going to sing to you, go to sleep" he stated, seeing the girl smile slightly before closing her eyes.

Although she couldn't tell him then, Sparrow hated being alone and now more than ever she needed to stick with someone.

Shaking her head back and fourth at them she runs up at the fence and puts her arms on the bars, giving them the most innocent look she could muster, despite her mouth and arms covered in blood. Sebastian wasn't sure if she was faking her bewilderment, one moment she was tearing away at that creature and the next she wasn't even sure what happened.

"You wanna just explain what happened back there?" He asked. Sparrow cursed her muteness for the 400th time and shrugged before waving towards her mouth then shaking her head.

"You... Can't talk?" Joseph asked and Sparrow nodded.

"Well that's a lie, you were shouting and screaming just a minute ago" Sebastian shouted.

'I was? What?' Sparrow thought to herself, confused surrounded her mind, it was like a black hole in her memory stopped her from knowing what she did a few minutes ago.

Suddenly a yell of fear cut the tension, coming from the church.

'Leslie!' She recognised, suddenly she didn't care if they shot her, she just had to get to Leslie and that was all that mattered at the time. Darting through the gap in the gate while both detectives heads had turned towards the sudden yell, she ran towards the church and rammed her shoulder into the door.

'Leslie!' She continued to run full sprint towards the statue of the woman at the other side of the church, quickly seeing some sort of gutter or giant drain. Suddenly Ruvik appeared in front of her, startling her but because she was still at full sprint she couldn't stop herself in time. It suddenly went into slow motion, except Ruvik was the only one able to move about normally. With her still slowly running at him, Ruvik opened his arms as if he was about to receive a hug off of her whilst smirking at the same time, and just like that it suddenly went to normal time and she ran straight into him as he wrapped his arms around her.

Sparrow struggled to get away, eagerly wanted to find Leslie but Rubik was stronger than he looked, he clutched her tightly and slowly leant backwards. Just as they were about to fall back onto the stone floor it turned into a large gaping hole, making them fall at a rapid rate.

Sparrow clutched herself closer to Ruvik as the scenery changed around them, burying her face in his burnt chest.

"It's ok, I got you" Ruvik muttered, but it didn't sound reassuring at all, it sounded a little menacing or scarily sarcastic. Suddenly Ruvik vanished again and Sparrow fell sideways into a rectangle cage, followed by the sound of it slamming shut and a chain being wrapped around it. Sparrow bounced of the side of the cage and flopped to the floor, curling herself on a ball as she tries to ease the pain the fall gave her.

"Birdy?" Sparrows eyes snapped open and looked up, seeing Leslie in the corner of the cage, but still with that smile on his face every time he saw her. She quickly got up, forgetting about the pain and they both walked the short distance towards each other before hugging each other. Sparrow clutched him tightly as if he was about to vanish.

"Blood blood" Leslie muttered as he pulled away slightly just to see her face whilst still holding her. He noted the now dried blood on her chin and her arms, a confused expression ran across his face, but for now he didn't really care. Tucking his head underneath her chin, he was just glad he wasn't alone anymore. For now, his bird was guiding him towards the light.
