"Pride never loved you May, you were only his cheap wind up sex toy," Amber said with malice from the kitchen yelling at May.

May looked at her horror and started to scream.

"You're a liar- Pride loves ME not you- ME," she screamed.

Amber laughed brushing her zulu knots out of her face, "Does lying make the pain go away? Does pretending he care fix your problem? The truth is Pride LOVES me just like Bray does. Just like everyone does- and no one loves you. Do they May? Do they?" Amber demanded.

Sobbing louder than before, May finally felt the anger rising and the pain well up as she slammed her fist against the counter, "I HATE YOU- I HATE you… I hate us both," she whispered.

"Yea well still doesn't matter now does it?" she taunted.

May cried out in horror before she stopped and realised she was on a beach, on a beach in a white dress, with bells chiming, a pearl necklace around her neck, a gold ring on her finger, and an audience of hundreds.

The Mallrats were there with smiles on their faces, Lex was standing at the alter with a scowl on his face, and Pride was standing there with a smile on his face waiting for her.

"May- May are you ready?" Salene whispered to her.

May turned around and looked at her with a smile- she was getting married… she was getting married to Pride!

"Yea"

However, as she started down the path- she felt a cold chill as she continued to walk forward- suddenly the beach turned black- the sun turned to rain, and the people just vanished.

She was all alone standing there in on the black cold beach and then she looked forward- no she wasn't alone- there was Pride…. But suddenly, he wasn't smiling anymore.

He looked sick- he started to pale, and then his suddenly, she saw blood coming out of him as hunched over and fell to the ground fresh blood now spilling on the beach. May let out a scream.

"PRIDE, PRIDE, PRIDE!"

(Reality)

May finally stopped screaming as the helmet came off- she realised she was sitting in a chair tied to it- sobs escaped her. Why? Why did they do this?

She let out a wail as the others looked at her emotionless- what was wrong with these teenagers? That they wouldn't even react to her tears? Didn't they care what they were doing to her.

"No, No," she cried, "It's not real, it's not real- Pride loves me".

A boy in the corner sat there and rolled his eyes, he then silently got up looking at the one at the control, "As entertaining as this all has been- this isn't good enough for my tastes- I want her in room 38 NOW," he demanded.

"Sir, Yes sir," another replied as two got up to untie her.

May had a feeling this room 38 was not somewhere she wanted to be. She was then untied- she tried to fight at first pulling against them as they moved to tie her hands up and shove her down the hall.

However, she still tried to kick and scream, until finally one slapped her causing her to shut her mouth in shock and made it easier for them to drag her off down the hall. Once, they arrived she tried to look around she saw nothing however but another chair.

But this one had no computer like devices attached, it was just a chair. She then was pulled to it and tied down to it, a man then came in with a series of syringes and what looked to be a few cutting knives.

Along with a chip…. Which May could not fathom why- until she saw the door open and that same dark hair boy walk in a cold expression on his face as he looked over her.

"So you were causing trouble at the camps now where you?" he said moving to sit down as a chair was brought down next to hers.

May said nothing and instead just looked at him.

"Don't talk much then? Good, I like that- silence is golden around here- makes things easier. You know why you're here? Do you?" he inquired.

May just shook her head giving him a defiant look.

"Didn't think so. You seem to have a lot of personal demons now don't you? As much, as I ENJOYED looking at them unfortunately that doesn't cause much fear now does? Reality space is great for cheap fun but I find it only produces cheap fear too. So, I plan to teach you a real lesson in fear- to make sure you understand who here is in charge and to make sure you're a good little experiment for now on," he replied in a cold tone.

He then without another word slowly picked up a cutting knife causing May's eyes to gauge out slightly in fear- he wouldn't… then without warning he slashed it around her face causing her to cry out in pain.

"Now do I have your attention?" he asked slowly.

May just stared at him.

"Good. So how about you tell me everything I want to know then?" he asked her.

"About?" she hissed.

"Oh well the Mallrats- and this Zoot"

"Why?" May cried out, "What could you possibly wanna know?"

"How about this- you tell me and promise you'll be a good little slave and I'll perhaps consider letting you live," he said carefully.

"And if I don't?" she said with a dark look.

She then watched as he let out a small amused laugh. He seemed really too amused by it, it was slowly starting to freak her out.

"And if you don't- and if you don't…"

He then jammed a needle into her arm causing her to scream in pain as he put his hand on the top of it, "I shove down this point and the liquid leaks in- it's lights out for you- so I suggest you tell me everything you know or else," he warned darkly.

May let out a cry of pain and turned him, "All right, all right, I'll talk- Zoot…"
