Me: I'm finally back!
Sky: Man, you better have a good explanation for the huge break.
Me: I actually have two reasons. One, I had a serious case of writer's block.
Sky: And the second reason?
Me: I er, kind of got addicted to Mario and Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games.
Sky: Really?
Me: I know… Anywho, I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh 5ds, but I do own Sky. On with the chapter!
Chapter 14
"Hey girly, it's time for lunch," an officer said. I quickly hid what I had been holding-one of my cards-and glared at the officer that came to escort me to lunch. I hated it when they called me girly. It pointed out the fact that I was the only woman in this prison.
My glares didn't do much of anything though, because the officer just chuckled and took me to the cafeteria. Let's see, today is Monday, so that means we get cold soup and a little bit of bread, I thought.
Most of the tables were already full, so I assumed I'd been brought late. I walked over to my normal table to eat in semi-peace. Nobody else ever sat at my table. If anyone tried I would glare them down. After three months of doing that, I'd actually gotten pretty good at the glaring thing.
I had eaten about half of my soup before a person came and sat at my table. I glanced up and got the surprise of a lifetime. Yusei? You're here as well? I thought.
Yusei seemed to notice my reaction, but he didn't say anything. He never was really talkative, I thought. "Hey, uh, you must be new here. Nobody sits at this table but me," I said, trying to keep up the tough act.
"There aren't any more seats left. That means I have to sit here," my brother said. I quickly glanced around and realized he was telling the truth.
Before I could say anything, I heard a couple of the guards laughing. I knew I couldn't do anything to them so I just started chewing on my spoon to let out the anger.
"You remind me of someone I once knew," Yusei said, observing my behavior with the spoon. Yeah, I remind you of me. Oh Yusei, I want to tell you so bad that I'm still alive but I can't, I thought.
"Oh, maybe we'll see each other again. My name's Silver," I said, coming up with a name on the spot. I noticed my soup was gone, so before he could reply, I got up and motioned that I wanted to leave.
I was escorted back to my cell, but a few minutes later, the door was opened again. And of all the people to be shoved in is Yusei. Great, it was enough for me at lunch, now he has to be my cellmate? I thought.
"Hey girly, looks like someone else decided to escape Satellite," the officer who escorted my brother said. Again with the 'girly' stuff. You know, that's getting really old, I thought while I slid off the bottom bed.
Before I could pull some smart remark, the door was closed, leaving us in near darkness. It's a good thing I was used to it, and it looked like Yusei was as well.
"I thought I was going back to the cell with Yanagi," Yusei mumbled. He couldn't see it, but I raised an eyebrow at that.
"You already had a cell? With that strange old man?" I asked. Yanagi had already been to the Facility about a week after I had gotten here. That old guy was a serious nut job.
"Yeah, I already had a cell. And once you get to know him, Yanagi isn't strange," my brother replied. Then he added, "Did that officer say that another person escaped Satellite?"
I chuckled and said, "You're looking at her. Or maybe I'm looking at him. Maybe even just talking 'cause you can't really see in this place."
It was true; you could barely see two inches in front of you. It was a little different for me, but not by much. "So how long have you been here Silver?" asked Yusei.
At first I didn't respond, but then I remembered that I had told Yusei my name was Silver. "Oh, erm, I've been in this cruddy place for about three months," I said.
"Three months being the only woman here? How come you haven't gone insane?" Yusei asked. I thought for a moment.
Hmm, I might have to throw in some lies, but I'll try to stay as close to the truth as I can. "Oh, I'm a very stubborn person. Plus I've got a few loose ends outside of this place," I said.
Before Yusei could ask another question, an officer appeared at the door. "I'm here to escort you both to the Recreational Room," he said.
Is it Fun Friday all ready? I asked in my mind. To my surprise, someone actually replied, It isn't Fun Friday; someone important wants to see all of the prisoners.
I shook off the thought. Maybe being in here for so long has started to get to me, I thought, as I followed the officer. Once we got there, the room was extremely full of people.
Yusei noticed somebody, and walked over in that direction. I followed him because I couldn't think of anything else to do. Once Yusei stopped walking, he started talking.
"Hey Yanagi, do you know what this is about?" my brother asked. He must have seen the old man, I thought.
"Yusei? You're alright!" Yanagi exclaimed, completely ignoring the question. It didn't make much of a difference, because at that moment everyone got quiet.
Up on a small overhang appeared a man. One that I recognized from when I was a kid. The last thing I remember is my face connecting with the floor.

Me: And I stop it there!
Sky: Why do you like ending in cliffhangers?
Me: Because I'm not normal.
Yusei: Why would you state that?
Me: Why do I keep getting bombarded by questions?
*Cricket noises*
Me: Hmm, please review.
