I woke up with the biggest headache in the world. I was in a big room with metal walls and floors. I looked around me but I couldn't see anyone except Lili who was snoozing next to me.

"Where are we?" asked no one in particular. But someone answered,

"The Adolescent Sanctum." I almost had a heart attack as I saw a little boy about 13 with tan skin look up at me innocently with round, young eyes. "Your new here right?"

"Of course he's new." said a girl with pig tails. She looked somewhat similar to the boy who I assumed was related to her. The first boy waved.

"Hi. I'm Alfonso. And this is my sister, Alessandra." I waved back.

"I'm Leo. And just for the heads up, I'm a girl."

"Oh, sorry." Alfonso apologized. Lili began to stir. Her eyes widened and she shot up like a bullet.

"Where are we!? What happened!?" she started running around in a circle.

"Lili!" I called out. She stopped mid run and looked at me. "Running in a circle is not going to help." she pouted and plopped down next to me.

"But where exactly are we?" I asked hoping the kids would elaborate more. The kids looked at each other. They gestured for us to come closer.

"We are at Michele Buorirroti's hidden mansion." Alfonso whispered.

"His objective is to eliminate children that belong to his enemies, and kids who find out his plans." Alessandra whispered. Me and Lili both gulped.

"We're doom." she whispered. The door made a loud creaking sound as it opened. A large brawny man pointed towards us.

"You two," his deep voice boomed, "Mr. Buorirroti wants you." he pointed towards Alfonso. "It's your time." he said to him. Alessandra hugged her brother, tears in her eyes. Me and Lili stood up and followed the man.

"What do you think he wants?" Lili whispered.

"No talking!" the man commanded. He led us to an office. A bulky man wearing a suit and tie sat behind it. He frowned at us.

"Another. You children are very nosy." He stood up and walked around the desk.

I tried not to laugh.

This man was a migit. He had the stumpiest legs I ever seen. It was hard to take him seriously.

"Why are you two so concentrated?" I kept my mouth shut. He sat on his desk, letting his legs dangle. "I don't like it when children are nosy. A brown noser. Because you cats are so curious, you are joining the other kids in the Adolescent Sanctum."

"Mr...Buorirroti, is it?" Lili asked. He nodded. "Me and my friend here won't tell anybody. Please let us go. We'll act like none of this ever happened, right Leo?" All I could do was nod.

Michele smirked at us. "You know, another young man said the same thing. That's how I ended up in prison." he slammed his fist on the desk. "And, that is why he is executed now." At that moment, he pointed behind us to the open door.

Alfonso was being wrapped up in plastic by the brawny man. He was just killed. I choked up as I thought of the young child only living thirteen years of his life. It was his time. The evil little troll laughed sinisterly.

"I'll see you two in December for your executions." DECEMBER! I only had 7 months to live. The man grabbed me and Lili bother by are necks and led us back to the Sanctum. While we were leaving I saw Niccolo. He made eye contact with us and he grinned.

The man threw us in the metal room. He slammed the door.

"No! We can't be stuck here!" Lili ran back to the door and started banging on it. "LET US OUT! PLEASE! I'M CLAUGHSTERPHOBIC!!" I wrapped my arms around my knees feeling hopeless. "Leo! We have to do something!" she whined.

We heard a thud. I began to bite my nails. Lili sat next to me. I felt something brush by us. Lili felt it too.

"Tell me you are ultra fast and just zoomed by." she squeaked. I shook my head just as scared. I looked around the room for some sort of light source. There was a light switch. I turned it on and there was a dim brown light. Not much but it helped.

All I saw was Lili sitting on the floor her legs in front of her. I noticed that she was barefoot. She probably left her shoes at Niccolo's house. There was no point in the light so I turned to turn it off.

I screamed.

A boy about the same age as Alfonso and Alessandra, maybe younger stood there.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you." his voice surprised me. He looked twelve, but sounded seven. "You must be new here. I'm Tommy." he held up a hand. I took it hesitantly.

"Hi, I'm Leo. This is Lili." I pointed towards her. She waved, less threatened by the kid.

"When are you due?" he asked casually. I gulped the lump in my throat.

"December." I murmured. He looked surprise.

"Wow, your pretty lucky. He usually gives us six months. I'm due May 5. Two days from now." he smiled meekly. It was suddenly his life story.

He told us about how he was visiting family here. He was momentarily split up by his family and was kidnapped by Michele. Apparently he was married to his sister. Which makes them brother in laws. They had a divorce because of management stuff. So Michele kidnapped Tommy just because of his wife.

Me and Lili began to cry for the kid. He lived his life without friends, and his family didn't care for him. Now 'God will take him home' as he put it. In two days. He managed to smile.

"You don't have to be sad. I made friends here. And when we go to the Kingdom together we can play." His eyes lit up. "You want to meet them. I'll go get them." He got up and went looking for his friends. Lili and I exchanged a look.

We had to get out. If not for us, for Tommy at least.

Third Person

"Abbiamo un cavo!" one of the cops said to the officer. Asuka, Ling, Hwoarang, and Steve were just called to the police station. No one knows why but they had hope in there hearts.

"Una signora anziana li ha veduti entrare in un man' automobile di s. Il man' il piatto di liscence di s รจ 4IC-O2O" he murmured. The officer looked at the teens.

"He says, an old woman saw them get into a man's car. We're going to investigate it." he told them.

Asuka looked down at the camera Leo's dad gave her.

Stay tuned for Lili's point of view. Now I'm gonna have some chicken!
