They both win the fight. Alexis is starting to get a reputation, because she elbows people on the back of the neck. She's fierce in the ring and everybody knows it. Its only been 4 days since she first started fighting but to Alexis it feels like a life time.
They are back in the dark room when they are settling down laying tops and tails on the bed, Alexis on one end Tim on the other. Tim's feet are in Alexis face no matter where she moves he always finds a way to stick them in her face, he thinks its funny, she thinks its gross.
"Tim move your freakin' feet they stink !" Alexis sits up suddenly exclaiming annoyed.
Tim sits up laughing but stops suddenly looking at Alexis' stomach. He could see something on her stomach. Black ink. He reaches out to see what it is but Alexis slaps his hand away.
"no Lexi you have something on your stomach." Tim says.
Alexis looks down and sees it to. She lifts her top a centimeter higher and more black ink is exposed.
"Their names." Tim says confused.
"Yeah but whose names ? I don't know these people, do I ?" Alexis says worriedly looking up.
Tim looks up at her and says in a strong voice "Lexi read what it says."
And she does. Alexis reads it not just one or twice but four times just to be sure.
"Tim whats going on ?" Alexis asked, when Tim looked into her eyes he saw fear and sadness.
"Lexi why are you sad ?" Tim asks.
"I don't know I just feel indescribably sad." Alexis finishes on a sniffle and a single tear rolls from her eye down her pale cheek and lands softly on the blanket.
Tim opens his arms to her and she crawls from her end of the bed and into his arms and cries on his shoulder. She doesn't know why she is crying but she knows there must be a reason she just has to find it.
"Everything is going to be okay." Tim whispers soothingly to her.
Alexis removes herself from Tim's strong and supportive arms and looks straight into his eyes, "Tim I've been getting this funny feeling ever since we woke up in the white room, I feel like none of this is real...do you know what I mean ?" Alexis stares into his eyes hoping for anything, a flash of recognition, of truth or understanding. Just anything.
"Lexi...I feel exactly the same way." Tim says and his eyes show a light of determination, and then a slow smile starts to form on his face.
Alexis suddenly realizes something. "Tim did you write anything ?" Alexis asked curiously.
They both simultaneously look at Tim's stomach and he slowly lift his top to look and there also in black ink was all the things he needed to know. Their suspicions were true and they suddenly realized it. Nothing was real.
They both look at each other with fear in their eyes. "Lexi I think were in trouble."
"Tim I think I'm going to have to agree." Alexis says.
They sat there for a while in a fearful silence.
