It's been a few days since my last session but I have a feeling this leisure doesn't last long. Max and Bree start showing up less and less just like what Kyra said. The wounds are starting to close and heal thanks to Kyra who comes over to help me apply medication every day. I have no idea where did she find the medication supply but I'm glad she did and even helped me apply them. I can barely feel my body. I don't feel as much pain as I did before. I'm pretty sure I'm just numb.
I'm healing well, thanks to Kyra. It's gonna take a long time though to fully heal myself and get myself to be able to move around and actually start training. It's also probably night outside and I should sleep. I only know this because Kyra left me for the night not too long ago and the noises outside reduced. I shut my eyes, trying to sleep but the thought of Rhea is somewhere, suffering because of me keeps me wide awake.
The door to my cell creeps open slowly. It looks so dark outside but it never affects the white room I'm in. A figure crawls in slowly and cautiously. It sent shivers down my spine. I wonder how I've not gone insane yet since I've been sitting in one spot for days in a white room that is stinky and dirty. The figure inches towards me slowly, step-by-step. Is that Max? I wonder, what is he doing here at this hour? Or is it not him?
"Max? Is that you?" I called out, laughing a little, in case it isn't him. No response. The figure kept coming closer and I can do nothing about it. I decided to pretend I'm asleep and hope that the figure leaves after a while. I shut my eyes, waiting to hear any sounds of the figure leaving me.
I couldn't hear anything, instead, I could feel a bite reach my toe. I open my eyes and looked at my toe and I could see a guy biting my toes. The pain slowly surfaces as I screamed loudly as I couldn't move. My throat was so dry so the scream didn't last long. A loud cry was heard after the scream and I recognized it at Bree's cry.
A few more people entered my room but I did not know any of them. They started to punch me, poke me and some even stood there laughing at me. I'm numb all over, but when they poke, they poke hard causing me to be able to feel the pressure and it's hurting me and my wounds would be opening.
I can't really move but I channel all my energy only one leg and pull it up, kicking the person who bit my toe off me. My throat drying up and my voice aren't able to come out, they only give me water once a day, I can't waste it like this!
Moments later, I could hear Kyra's laughing really loud, is she nearby? I don't know but that seemed to have caught the attention of the guards as they came to check what had happened. I pretended to sleep while a few guys poking at me and a few more punching. They really hit hard, I thought that they're mentally disabled makes them weaker.
The few guards kicked them out of the room and I'm sure they'll make sure they all made it to their room. They shut the door so loudly that Bree's cries were heard again. I'm not sure if that was a signal for some things but hell, her cries were more useful than my screams!
I try to get as much sleep as I can to regain energy so I'll be able to try to walk again. I try to pull darkness towards me because it wouldn't engulf me. Laughs started to fill my head, am I going crazy?

I looked around, it seems familiar, so very familiar. Why can't I pinpoint where this is? "Arran," a stern voice called out softly. I look around again. It's a white room with a few windows that shows the sky. "Arran, I'm here."
My head turned sharply right at the source of that voice. It's my guardian angel. "Arran, how have you been? I was forced out of your body after you entered that building. I tried going into Rio's dream and asked if he could reach you but he couldn't. Neither could Crys."
"I've not been well, my body is now full of scars. How's Rhea? Have you tried looking for her?" I asked, concerned. I'm glad she was able to get to me, not that I know-how. I didn't even care about myself, I just need to know if Rhea is doing okay or not.
"I've tried tracking her. I've followed her into the spirit world with my guardian angel pass. She's..." her words trailed off as she shuts her eyes and heaved a huge sigh. "Why don't you take a look yourself?"
She waved her arms and pushed me towards the window. I could see Rhea. She's chained by a very blue-ish yellow chain. Is that electric? She looks so torn down, she's barely visible, it seems like she's fading. I put my hand on the window, trying to grasp her.
I didn't realize my eyes were tearing up, Rhea looked so weak and fragile there. The view soon starts to fade and I turned to look at the one who closed it off. "What have they been doing to her?" I asked softly, my voice shaking at the thought of her looking like she's about to disappear.
"They've been shocking her with electricity until she's almost disappeared and kept her that way," she said, "They gave her minimal food and very little necessity so she's not able to recover well."
What can I do? I can't do anything now that I'm here. I looked at her again, hopelessly. "Arran, I know it's going to take a long time for you to get out, it might take a few years, and I know I won't get an opportunity to get to you like this so I'll help you look after Rhea, you need to focus to get out so you can rescue her because none of us can."
I could feel as the room started to fade, so does my guardian angel. She looked at me sadly, pitying my current situation as she shuts her eyes and Rhea's screams fill the room. I can't take this! I closed my ears with my hands and try to block out her screams and cries but I couldn't. I broke down in tears as I'm not able to do anything at all to help her.
