The next day, around 8:30 a.m. the most annoying bell rang through the camp. Waking the campers in a uncomfortable position on a hard, creeky cot. Sure they got a lot more sleep than at Camp Green Lake, but more sleep doesn't always necessarily mean better. Especially when your awoken with your heart pounding, in a freezing cabin, and hardly any blankets.
"BOY'S! UP! UP! UP!"A loud man walked past each cabin, pounding on their doors and windows. Everyone immediatly jumped out of bed, though the D-Tent members were trying to get use to it. Soon, all the campers were out of their cabins and in line for breakfast; in another building which was wooden. The kid's in the concrete building who had shown good behavior were released, some still with their black bands, others got moved down to red.
"Hey! X, ya made it out,"Armpit smiled and gave X-Ray a high five.
"Yeah, man- I'm glad,"X-Ray paused. "You have no idea what it's like in there, especially spending the night in a place like that.."
"Hey-hey, X-"Magnet tapped on X-Ray's shoulder. "Where's Twitch?"
"Oh.. well, he's still in there-"X-Ray glanced back at the cellar, cold and dark. "I'm not sure if he'll make it out- his continuos twitching doesn't help his chances.."
"Come along boys! Quit the yappin and get your breakfast!"
The boy's quickly turned, and listened.
"Band please?"A guard who was serving breakfast asked a boy. The boy showed the man a green band.
"Green? You get this.."The man slopped a sour mixture of sausage and syrup on the boy's plate. "Next.."
X-Ray walked up next.
"Band?.. Black.. oh, you get this-"The man slopped the thickest, chunkiest mixture of cold, lumpy oatmeal on his plate; X-Ray cringed.
"Eat it... it's good for ya, it'll fill ya up.."The man added, and motioned for X-Ray to move along. He nodded slowly and then went to go sit at one of the various tables.
"Young man! You shut your mouth! Don't you mouth off to m-"
"Come on! Ya know I'm right!"Squid exclaimed.
"Hey-hey, boy Ya wanna move up band colors? huh?! Do ya wanna be sent to the cellars!?"A guard yelled in Squid's face.
"No-"
"Good.. then be on your way.."
Squid glared as he walked past the man, and walked to a table where the other's were gathering.
"This is messed up-"He mummbled to himself. Squid sat down next to Tahj and as he did so, Tahj immediatly nudged him.
"You can't mouth off like that.. It's not wise."
"What? C'mon I was just saying what I knew was true.."Squid folded his arms across his chest.
"Still- Alan, they're very strict on rules,"
Squid sighed, 'This sucks' he thought and wanted to say that out loud, but knew the conversation had ended.
"So what are we suppose to do around here?"Magnet asked.
"After we eat- we're given a list of thing's to do."A boy answered.
"Sound's easy enough,"X-Ray looked at him.
"It's not.."Tim paused. "Especially when it sn-"Tim looked up, outside the nearest window, the other boy's did the same to see what he was looking at.
It was snowing.
"Uhgg.. I hate snow.."Squid shivered.
"We all do.."Tahj nodded.

For their lists of things to do, each band color had to do something different. Black band's who were let free of the cellar had to do the most, and white band's had to do the least. But none of their task's were fun or easy. You were either freezing your butt off, picking up trash at the nearest road; which was a few miles away and not much car's really did pass by. A few other task's included- trimming branches in the woods; or fishing in the half-frozen lake. It was difficult doing task's like those, as warm vapored steam came from their trembling mouths and they shook from each snowy, wind that blew them the opposite way. But what could they do? What could any of them do?
"S-so.."Zigzag shivered and looked at a boy who was from his cabin. "W-What happened t-to that other kid- that was in our cabin.. he walked down that path-"
The boy looked up at him and shoved a peice of trash in his bag, "He-he's not coming back.. no one does come back-"The boy sighed, and looked away.
"Oh.."Zigzag nodded a little confused and freaked out at the same time. He glanced behind him to see a guard eyeing them, eyeing them carefully as he walked away.
***
Twitch continuosly fidgeted in the dark, cold cellar. You could hear drips from the leaky ceiling hitting puddles that laid across the cold, hard ground. Draft's of wind and snow came through cracks of the door, and walls. Twitch whimpered and curled himself up against the wall. He just wanted to go home, it was all silent, until.. a faint voice was heard from the opposite side of the cellar.
"Ya gotta toughen up kid.. just face it-"A voice whispered from the darkness.
"Wh-who's there?"Twitch quickly looked up, straight into the darkness.
"Does it really matter? I don't think it does.. we all are lost in a cruel, cruel world where we all really don't know anybody.."The mysterious voice seemed to becoming closer. A crack in the ceiling let a little light shine through, just enough for when the unknown person walked closer they were reveiled. Twitch finally got to catch a glimpse of who was standing a couple inches away from him; suprisingly it was a girl! He was on the boy's side of the camp, but a girl was standing right in front of him. She had straight, raven black hair, and dark blue eyes; a heart tatooed under her left eye. Her skin was so pale, it seemed almost ghostly. The girl knelt down in front of Twitch and leaned towards his face.
"Who.."She whispered. "Is to trust anymore?"
Twitch was speechless, and a little frightened at the same time. The girl's eyes were harsh, and cold and peirced right through Twitch's soul into his heart. Her hand's caught Twitch's attention, for they were tightly, locked in handcuffs that seemed she had been in forever.
"I'm Dylan,"She smiled and held out one of her cuffed hand's.
"Dylan?"Twitch questioned and took her hand in his.
"My parent's wanted a boy,"Dylan slightly smiled, and shook his hand lightly.
"Oh,"
"What's your name, kid?"
"It's Brian.. but my friend's call me Twitch,"He answered.
"Well, that's- cool,"Dylan nodded and sat next to Twitch, against the hard, cement wall.
"Ho-how'd ya get on the boy's side of the camp?"Twitch finally asked the question that had been nagging on him.
"Oh.."Dylan laughed to herself. "I kept trying to escape.. I guess they thought it'd be tougher sending me over here-"Dylan sighed and laid her head back against the wall.
"Kid- ya really don't know how long I've been trapped in here.."Dylan paused and took a breath. "Seeing other kid's come and go- without at least one to talk to.. I've gone so long- without the taste of anything, but bread.. and water."Dylan turned her head to face Twitch.
"This kinda place can make ya go crazy.. ya know? Being so long- without the smell of fresh air... or the feel of the sun... I-I even hafta talk to myself sometime's- just so I can remember what a human sound's like."Dylan winced, and looked down.
"The feeling.. of living in darkness with no hope or love.. no light.. no dreams. Living a nightmare with torture... misery.. and pain.."Dylan whispered, Twitch watched her compassionatly; as she held back hot, stinging tears.
"Are you ever going free?"Twitch asked.
Dylan sighed and looked up again, "Who knows?"She shrugged and decided to change the subject.
"Soo- what are ya here for?"
"Stole a car.."Twitch answered.
"Can ya hotwire?"Dylan asked.
"Under a minute,"Twitch nodded.
"That's awsome.. totally- awsome,"Dylan nodded as it became silent again. Dylan bit her bottom lip and then something came to her; she smiled and glanced over at Twitch.
"Wanna help me escape?"She looked at him, her eye's were wide and anxious.
"What!? But there's noway out,"
"No, kid- that's where your wrong.."Dylan pointed up to a high point of the wall. "See that crack up there? I've been here long enough to know it's weak enough to get through.."Dylan sighed. "I just know, with somebody's help.. it can break- it's hollow,"
Twitch nervously looked up at the point of the wall, than back at Dylan, "A-are ya sure bout this?"He asked.
"Yeah,"Dylan had a seroius look on her face. "I'm really sure... we get out- you can get us a car, and we'll be free.."Dylan smiled just thinking about it. "Kid- ya wanna help me?"She asked again. Twitch stayed silent, he wasn't sure. It was dangerous, and risky; he looked at the girl sitting beside him.
Twitch took a deep breath, "Let's- try it.."He finally said.
