A/N: Thanks to Hope reigns on for leaving the first review. I'm glad you're finding the story interesting and I hope you keep liking this.

Chapter 4

So, how do I get out of here?

There is a door at the end of the hallway, the only way out of here, but I doubt it's going to be as easy as the last challenge. Maybe I should use the force and try to find a clear path before I star the challenge.

That is if it hasn't started already.

I reach out into the force and concentrate. This facility is pretty big, but not huge.

Alright, I got a path and I don't sense anyone here, so I'll just run to the door and out as quickly as possible.

I start running out the door and hear Pia say, "Simulation, start".

Oh boy, not this again.

I start running faster, maybe I won't even give the simulation a chance to catch me.

"Oh great, do we have any test subjects we have to ship out?", I heard some say in the next hallway intersection. I press myself against the wall, hoping they'll just walk past me.

"Only one, he'll be the last thing we ship out. We need all of the staff to make sure he doesn't try to escape again", said someone else walking past me with a crate.

They seemed to be in a rush. I must be the test subject, that means I have to hurry.

They're out of sight now, that means I can continue. I search through the force for any more people. I'm in the clear and continue to run around when I bump into someone. They just appeared out of nowhere.

Considering what has happened, I wouldn't be surprised if that's what actually happened.

"I-It's you. Please don't hurt me!", exclaimed the person that I crashed into.

I stood up and took a good look at this, thing. It wasn't a person, instead a weird white droid that looked like the beginning of a human drawing.

"Don't be scared I won't hurt you! I just want to get out of here already", I said, stepping back a little.

I can't trust anyone, I think. Maybe I can just go around it. If this is a dream, it shouldn't matter right?

I start running past it, just trying to get out of here already.

"Wait! Don't you want to help me?", asked the thing.

Just keep running Ezra, none of this is real. Almost there, this test is almost done!

"Emergency lock down. We have an escapee, again", said someone through an intercom.

A red light starts flashing through the hallway. I see that the exit is starting to close, and so the light that came from the outside also started to disappear.

I rush out of the facility, good thing the door is closing so slowly. I should run farther away just in case.

The outside starts on a small boulder, which is also the facility. Then there's a river, which has a forest with the perfect hiding spot.

Alright Ezra, you can jump across no problem, concentrate. I jump across the river, a bit wider than I expected, but I made it across without getting wet. I run into the forest until I'm a decent distance away.

"Alright Pia, Demetrious, I complete the second challenge. What do I have to do next?", I shouted into the forest. They magically appeared before, they can do it again.

"You're weird", said a voice from behind me.

I turn around and see a little human girl with red curly hair, green eyes and pale skin, "Who are you?", I asked her.

I can't trust anyone here.

"I'm Onive Exp", she answered, looking up at me with wide eyes.

"Do you know Pia and Demetrious?", I ask her.

"Of course I do, we're all part of the security design", Onive said.

Why does she keep saying design and not program or plan?

"Do you know what I have to do next?", I ask her.

"Kind of, but you'll figure it out eventually. I'm just here because I wanted to meet you", she answered. Oh force, she's adorable.

"Alright then, while the test starts, may I ask what is your job here?", I ask with the kindest voice I can muster up.

"I think you already did, and sure. I'm here to supervise, neutralize, take care of break ins and analyze. I'm not supposed to intervene in this phase, but I think you're meant to pass", she said.

"That sounds like a lot of responsibilities", I told her, especially for a little kid.

"Actually, they're a few. Pia and Demetrious have all of the fun. But we do enjoy the idea of seeing people suffer through this whole procedure", she said, staring at something in the distance.

She's starting to freak me out slightly. Are these people some kind of torturers. Was I kidnapped at some point and forgot?

Apparently she noticed, because she said, "Oh sorry. We were made to protect the contents of the box. And we were created on a note of vengeance, so, we kind of expect some people to get tortured by it and stuck, and in an endless loop of psychological horror", she said calmly.

Change the subject, I have to have another question.

"Um, who designed you?", I asked.

'Help'

What was that?

"I'm not allowed to say that", she said, waiting for another question. Alright, I know what they are protecting, maybe she knows what that droid was for.

"Do you know what that white droid thing was back there?", I asked her.

"White droid thing? You saw that?", she asked confused.

"Yeah, was I not supposed to?", I said. What does this mean.

New theory, maybe I'm in a virtual reality world. It could make sense, in a way.

'Help'

This time I heard it louder. Is this my subconscious expressing my feelings? Might as well be!

"That means you're not the enemy. You really don't know why you're here. Maybe entering made you forget what you were looking for, or our owner left you an ominous note and never explained what you would find here", she rambled.

Is it strange that she's still freaking me out. She's like a tiny adult, it's disturbing.

'Help!'

"Onive, did you hear that?", I asked, distracting her from her thoughts.

'HELP!'

"That! Someone is in trouble!", I said, trying to identify.

"Aww, I didn't even get to say 'Start simulation' ugh", Onive said before disappearing into thin air.

Start simulation, that must mean this is the third challenge, hopefully the last one.

'HELP!'

'Get us out of here'

'Why would you leave us'

'We're stuck'

'DO SOMETHING!'

Who are these voices? They're in my head. What is going on? They're starting to give me a headache.

Maybe if I search the force, that might give me an answer.

I sit down and start to concentrate, which is imposible with all these screams! C'mon Ezra, you can do this, clear your mind clear your mind.

'You!'

"Me", I shouted, standing up quickly and looking around.

'Why haven't you helped us? We're stuck in here!', said a voice. Is that a guy or a girl? Well at least I can't hear the other screams anymore.

"Who are you? Where are you?", I ask, still looking around for someone.

'Stop screaming, I'm in your head because, you know, I'm dead. Just like everyone else', said the voice.

'Alright then. How do you want me to help if you're dead?', I asked.

'By bringing a flame to the place that haunted us the most? I thought we had discussed this a long time ago", said the voice.

The facility, I need to burn down the facility!

'Help!'

'We're still stuck in here!'

Going, going.

Where can I get fire here? Maybe I can make a fire with some stick and take it to the facility.

I grab a bunch of sticks and start to head back to te facility. This might be the easiest challenge yet.

I cross the river again and make it back to the facility. I start a fire and grab a torch. Time to get out of this place.

Should I just drop it or -

"Half way done", said someone.

"There are still people in there", I whispered to myself.

'Burn it'

'Help us'

'Release us'

I guess if this is all fake, I won't actually be killing real people. And if they torture innocents, they deserve it anyways.

I went inside once the coast is clear and I run inside, looking for something that will let the fire spread. I finally walked into a lab where I found fuel.

I pour the fuel onto the hallway and set the floor on fire, quickly running outside, where I found a white void. Why am I so tired?…

"Ezra".
