The a painful bright light blinded me. I opened my eyes and got up from my sleeping position. Leo did the same thing, squinting against the harsh beam of light. The same brawny man stood.
"Breakfast." he sneered and tossed us a bowl of some mushy goop. He slammed the door. I crawled towards the substance and stared at it.
"It's oatmeal." Leo stated. She scooped her finger (they didn't bring a spoon) and licked it. Her faced twisted into disgust. "It supposed to be oatmeal." I sighed deeply and laid back down on the cold metal floor.
I shivered on the floor. Thinking about all the people that probably miss me. Ling, Miharu, Sebastion...
Will my father miss me?
Most likely not. I felt my eyes burn at the thought.
I heard the padding of bare feet come towards. I look up and it was Tommy. He was smiling, his face pale and fragile. He looked like he hadn't ate in weeks. I looked at the bowl Leo pushed aside.
"Are you going to eat that?" I asked her. She looked up at me, her eyes far away and shook her head. I took the bowl and gave it to Tommy.
"Lili, you eat." he said. I shook my head. His lips pressed together but he took it anyway.

Third person
Robert Kliesen plopped down on his couch. He just got back from Azazel's Chamber for his investigation. He was dead tired now.
He reached for his cellphone and dialed his favorite and only daughter's number. He waited for her to pick up.
"Hello~ you have reached Leo's number. Most likely I am sleep or in the bathroom because I'm like human and need to do these things. So I'll get back to you when I eighter wake up or whatev." Beep!
I wonder why she isn't answering? This is the third time I tried calling.
"Sorry I'm not here right now. Don't frown though I will definitely call you back when I get the chance. Don't stop being beautiful." Beep!
Sebastion glanced at the phone. He had been trying to phone Lili all morning. He entered Kerman Rochefort's office. He was reading.
"What is it Sebastion?" he asked in a booming voice. Sebastion, since he started working was intimidated by the master.
"Sir, your daughter hasn't been answering her phone. I'm worried."
"She's probably out shopping again." Sebastion sighed. Mr. Rochefort always put his daughter last. He may buy her everything in the world, but he doesn't even remember he favorite color.
Lili's POV
It had to be at least three o'clock. The brawny man came back with a bucket of corn. None of us touched it. Leo laid back down.
But I was tired a lying down all day. I got up and started pacing around the room. It was so dark, but the trickle of light peaking out of the cracked door was helpful.
Wait...
I turned on my heel. The door was OPEN!! Before I could get hyped up I peeked outside.
No one was in sight.
"Leo!" I whispered in her ear shaking her. She had fallen asleep. She got up quicker then I expected.
"What!" she hissed. I was taken aback at this but tried my VERY best to ignore her.
"The door's open. And no one's there!" She rose an eyebrow. I pulled her towards the door and showed her.
"It's a trap, it's gotta be." she said. I looked at her.
"What if it isn't. For all you know this is our only chance to get out." She bit her lip. She slowly walked towards it and opened it a little more. She looked both ways and gestured me to follow her.
"Keep an eye on both sides and make sure no one comes this way. Give me some sort of signal."
"How about I flip my hair."
"You always do that. I'll think it's a false alarm."
"No I don't." I protested. She narrowed her eyes. I was about to ask her what but realized I had just flipped my hair. "Fine. How about I tap my nose." She considered it.
"Alright. I'm heading for the stairs to see if the close is clear. When it is, I'm wave you over, then you have to quietly come over. Got it?" I nodded. She tip toed down the stairs. The way the stairs were set up practically hid your body if you ducked.
I did as she was told. About two minutes later she waved me over. I ducked and tip toed down the stairs. The fact I didn't have any shoes to makes noises with it was easiar to get down. I was next to her three times faster.
"What do we-"
"SH! Do you want to get caught now!" she whispered. "I saw shorty just head back to his office. The door is unlocked. If we can at least make it outside we're free.
"What if we get caught outside?" I asked her.
"Run like a bat out of hell." she said plainly. She grabbed my arm and we tip toed to the front. We were almost there until...
The knob jiggled. I was out of there before Leo finished saying my name. I ran to the nearest room which was someone's bedroom. I hid under the bed.
It reminded me when I was younger and I used to play hide and go seek with my parents. The door to this specific bedroom opened. I was expecting men's legs or Buorroni's chin but was greeted by a set of women's legs.
She kicked off her heels and clambered onto the bed. I grunted as the weight was pressed against my back. She reached her hand down under the bed to grab a magazine. Which was right next to my face.
When her hand disapeared back onto the surface I sighed in relief.
"Don't think I don't know your under there." she said, making my blood freeze. "Come out, I don't bite." Eighter though I didn't take her word for it i did anyway. She stood up on my feet. She had curly red hair. She was wearing a white dress.
'What is your name?" she asked me. I didn't say anything at first.
"L-lili Rochefort..." I whispered. She smiled.
"Bianca." she said. At that moment the door opened and Michele appeared. I felt like I was about to be attacked by sharks. He looked up (yes up) and glared at me.
"How did you get out?" I was already planning my eulogy in my head.
"I brought her here. Is there a problem?" Bianca interupted, standing up gracefully. He glared at me for a little longer. Then he left in a huff. I looked at the beautiful red head in question. She shrugged.
"It's no problem. I'll escort you back to your cell." She stared down at my bare feet. She headed into what I assumed was her closet and pulled out white sneakers. She grabbed socks too. "Put these on. It's too cold here for you to walk around like that." I nodded and excepted the offer.
I put them on quickly then she walked me out. Then I remembered.
"Wait, my friend. She was with me-"
"Where was she when you left?" I pointed to the front door. She automatically went to another door nearby like she knew where she was. She opened it and a petrified Leo was found. "This is your friend I assume?" How did she do that?
She looked back at Leo like a kid at a petting zoo. "I won't hurt you." she cooed. Leo walked slowly behind me for what I think was protection. Bianca gave her an amused look. "Come on, let's take you back."
