Cece awoke to find herself laying on her bed, she tried to sit up, but fell back down, since she felt kinda groggy. Her head was pounding, and the light hurt her eyes, it felt like she was a little drunk, but she wasn’t, it was all because of that guy….

Not caring if she didn’t feel well, she shot up, and got out of the bed she was in, and looked around, surveying the room. She was in a white room, with a bed, dresser, and desk. The bed she was sitting on was light pink, with a dark pink comforter, and a fluffy pillow. Cece headed towards the door, and put her hand on the doorknob, debating whether or not she should try to leave. She was scared of what was on the other side of the door.

Taking a deep breath, she pulled the door open, and looked into the hallway, left and white, before running into the hallway, and towards the exit. As she was running, she looked into a room, and paused, seeing Zyra…?

“Zyra…?” Cece whispers, walking into the room.

“Cece? Oh thank god you’re ok.” She says, hugging Cece tightly. Cece hugs her back, glad to have someone she knew, but wishes Zyra wasn’t here...Cece didn’t even want to be here. Wait, where was she even at?

“Zyra, do you know where we’re at?”

“No, unfortunately, I don’t,” Zyra says, looking down, “the last thing I remember is a man grabbing me, bringing me through a portal.”

“The same thing happened to me…” Cece mutters, “did they get Iris too?”

“I’m not sure, I just woke up, and was trying to come up with a plan to get away.”

Cece nods, “Let’s go then, see if Iris is here, and if she isn’t, try to escape.” Zyra nods in agreement, and they both look in the hall, to see men patrolling. We quickly get back in the room, and quietly shut the door, waiting for the coast to be clear.

About five minutes later, they made a run for it, hoping Iris wasn’t here, wherever here was. As they were running, they ran into a tall guy, about 5’5 with brown hair, and abs. He was also very muscular, “Y’all aren’t supposed to be out of your rooms yet.” He growls out.

“Let us go! What do you even want with us?” Cece shouts, slowly backing away from the tall brown-headed man.

“Go back to your rooms, and I’ll gladly leave you alone until lunchtime.”

“Did y’all grab Iris too?” Zyra asks, glaring at him, ignoring his comment about lunch, even though her stomach growled when he mentioned lunch.

"You mean the annoying brown-haired girl that's always with y'all? She's still asleep in her room like a good girl. We aren't gonna hurt y'all, we're helping y'all. Now go back to your rooms until we come and get y'all for lunch, and we'll explain everything. " The guy says, sighing.

"No, I wanna make sure Iris is ok!" Cece exclaims.

"Why would we hurt her, but not y'all? " The man asks, obviously annoyed.

"Listen here, big nose! Zyra growls, noticing that he did indeed have a big nose, We don't know why you kidnapped us, or what your motives are, so why don't you just take us to Iris? " Zyra asks, as tears begin to fill her eyes.

"Big nose? " He scoffs, rolling his eyes, "I don't have a big nose!"

"Yeah you kinda do… " Cece agrees, snickering a little, despite their situation.

The guy just rolls his eyes and Zyra buts in, "Well you never told us your name, so… now you're big nose, " she explains, chuckling.

"Two doors down on the left is where your friend is. I'm probably gonna regret this… but I will allow y'all to stay with her until lunch, now go before I change my mind. " Big nose demands.

As if thinking the same thing, Cece and Zyra look at each other and nod, running to Iris's room. They arrived at her room about a minute later and walked inside to see her unharmed and still asleep, just like big nose said. They sat at the end of the bed and sighed.

"What are we going to do? " Zyra asks, putting her long blond hair into a ponytail.

"I-I'm not sure…" Cece mutters, looking down. She was worried about Iris since she wasn't awake yet, her anxiety was acting up, but she didn't wanna seem stupid or weak in front of her only two friends.

As they were talking, they both turned their heads towards Iris, as if they both sensed something change in the atmosphere. Iris had begun to stir. Their eyes widened in relief since they were worried that she hadn't woken up yet.

Iris groaned and sat up slowly, "What… What happened? " She asks, looking around, as she surveys her unfamiliar surroundings, frowning, slightly alarmed. "Cece, Zyra… w-where are we?" She asks, pulling her knees to her chest. Iris had anxiety but didn't have the same type of anxiety as Cece. Cece had panic disorder, while Iris had separation anxiety. If Iris was in an unfamiliar location and away from her family, she started to panic.

"We honestly aren't sure, we just woke up like fifteen minutes ago. " Zyra explains, putting a hand on Iris's shoulder, knowing her separation anxiety was probably acting up. Cece was doing her best to hide her anxiety, as she looked around the room, grabbing onto the headboard to help ground herself since her legs had begun to shake.

As they were talking about a plan to escape, the door opened nose, "Lunch is ready, follow me and you'll get your explanation. " He says, crossing his arms, waiting on the three girls.

The girls looked at each other and if they were thinking the same thing, they nodded, and slowly stood up. They didn't plan on eating, even if they were hungry, but they needed an explanation.

Cece walked slowly behind Iris and Zyra, holding onto the wall, to help her walk. They walked down into a room with tables lining the room. Most of them had around five chairs each. There was also a buffet at the end of the room, in front of all the tables.

"Go get y'all some food, then we'll talk. " Big nose says. The three girls shake their heads, and big nose sighs, "fine suit yourselves, but y'all will have to eat sooner or later. Zyra and Iris looked at Cece in worry, they would be fine, but Cece hadn't eaten in two days already. They knew it might be dangerous to eat the food, but they were still worried. They sat down at a table with big and he began to explain why they were here.
