I know it's been a week since I had first woken up in here, I know this because twice a day they bring me food to eat. It's not stale bread and warm water like I thought it'd be and instead it's hot soup and fresh bread and butter or it's a full ham and cheese sandwich. Once I even got some really fancy chicken and vegetables I'd never even seen before. That was the only good part, the rest of the time I was bored like crazy. I thought this room was cozy at first but every minute that passed made it feel more and more like what it really was: A prison. No one spoke to me, they just opened the door and tossed a container down and left. It was the evening of the seventh day of being here and I hear the door open. Five slid in and closed the door behind him with a plate in his hand. There was plastic wrap over the plate and a metal fork on top. A cup of juice floated in the air after him.

"How's it going?" Five asks, it's the first voice I'd heard all week.

I don't reply, I just avert my gaze away from him.

"You smell awful." He points out.

The bathroom didn't have a shower attached to it, just a hole where it used to be. I really wanted a shower but I'd never admit it to him.

"Here's some more food." Five sets the plate and cup down on the shelf. He still wears the braces on his wrist and foot making him look even more awkward than he does now. "A really nice lady makes the food for you, if it weren't for her you'd probably be eating gruel or something."

I wonder if by lady he means Mogadorian woman. Why would she make food for me anyway?

"The Great Leader really wants to talk to you." Five tells me.

I huff. "Then why am I in here? Why doesn't he just come inside my dreams again like he always does."

"He isn't anymore. You're going to talk to him tomorrow."

I snap my gaze towards Five and I feel really sick. "What do you mean?"

"I mean." Five says flatly. "You and him are going to have a chat."

"I won't do it, I'll kill him."

"Good luck." Five smirks. "You're not strong enough to kill yet, not like the others."

I know everyone else has killed countless Mogs and I still have yet to do that. "I still won't talk to him."

"Ella, just behave okay? It can't hurt to just listen." Five tries to reason with me and it kind of throws me off. "You're not doing anything traitorous by listening to what The Great Leader has to say."

I bite my cheek and look away from Five again. I want him to leave.

"I'll go." Five says backing up as if he heard me. "Enjoy your food."

And with that the door shuts.

It's really late at night and I am still awake. The room is pitch black except for the moonlight that shines through the window. I know I'm probably thirteen now but the dark still freaks me out. If only I could see in the dark like Marina. I feel bone tired from just sitting here. I pace in the darkness for a while and stretch and even jog in place. Anything to beat this emptiness I feel inside. I want my friends back so bad. I think back to Five telling me that Setrakus Ra was going to talk to me in person. I felt like he was in this room with me, watching from the shadows. A burst of fear causes me to jump back onto my bed and slide into the covers. I couldn't stop shaking.

Snap out of it! I begged myself. But I still felt ice cold. I didn't want to see stupid Setrakus Ra. I wanted to escape. I guess since there was nothing better to do I started to cry. I was afraid then that they would hear me crying so I tried again to snap out of that. My chest felt heavy and I breathed shakily. All night I had tried calling out to them. Why wouldn't my legacy work? Why did it have to be so stupid? For the bazillionth time I called out for them and still nothing. I laid back underneath the blankets and curled into a ball. I was finally beginning to feel sleepy enough to doze off a bit. My mind wandered a bit and I thought I heard a voice inside my head.
Hello? I call to it drowsily.

Ella?

I gasp and sit up. Hello, hey it's me Ella.

Hey Ella. The voice says casually. What are you up too?

I'm trapped inside a room, Five is keeping me in here. He's with the Mogs now, we can't trust him.

Well that's not good.

Are you guys okay? Is everyone safe?

Yeah, everyone is fine. Just hanging around planning the next move.

But where is everyone.

I'm not sure, but don't worry okay? Everything is going to work out well I promise.

If I don't escape now Setrakus Ra is going to make me talk to him face to face.

The voice is silent and I worry it's gone now, but it speaks again. There's nothing wrong with that you know. Listen to what he has to say, learn about your enemy. That can only be an advantage.

But—

I'll be with you so you're not alone.

Okay.

Awesome.

Who are you?

No reply.

Hello? Nine…Marina…Hello?

I know that they are gone. I hope they will come back like they promised. Whoever that was, but the best part was that I had actually gotten through to them. My legacy worked!
