Disclaimer time! yep. Its the same as in chapter 2. And if you try anything funny i'll get crazy.

Chapter 3

Sleep.

What a funny thing it is.when you need it the most you can never have it.

At least that's what I found out a few hours after my rescue. I laid there, listening to Matt's snoring, which didn't really help in my attempts to return to the blissful state that is slumber. As I laid there I thought about the one last thing that bound me to the Lab.My so called 'name' I would have to find a proper one if I was to break free completely, but it was a part of who I am. What would I call myself? A name shows the world who you are in a way. I didn't want to just pick any old name.It had to mean something.

Hmm. Where to start.with my designation - 198145 hmm.what if I changed the numbers into their alphabetical counterparts?

So . 1 would be A 9 I 8 H 1 A 4 D 5 E

- Aihade? No. That didn't sound right.

Hmm. what if I changed 1 and 9 to 19- that would make it an S

SHADE.

I shivered.it sound right, like it belonged to me already. I just didn't know it. I would tell Matt in the morning, with this thought I closed my eyes.

It seemed only a moment after I managed to fall asleep that being shaken roughly awoke me; I thought it was Matt waking me up, until I heard him on the other side of the cavern. "Get up Girl! We've got to get above ground!" I was about to ask why, when the shaking started again. I realised what it was.EARTHQUAKE!!

I scrambled on to my feet and ran as fast as I could following Matt back in to the maze of corridor like tunnels. I lost my balance several times as the Earth shook, as did Matt and the falling dust and rubble made it very hard to see, hear or breathe. Finally after what seemed and eternity I saw daylight up ahead. Matt and I made a final dash as the earth tremors increased in frequency and violence. Dust and rubble were falling faster and harder now.

Matt ran through the open cave mouth, but as I approached the gaping maul, the worst tremor yet knocked me off my feet, but I wasn't the only thing to fall, the cave opening gave way. I had time for an "oh crap" before darkness filled my vision and I knew no more..

.. TO BE CONTINUED.(dont ya just hate that? well HAHAHA! oh and Please R&R)
