Room 3 to Auditorium[/center]


[b][i]"To celebrate the successful completion of your first week in the facility...."[/i][/b]

Had it really been a week though? Irina had scrunched up her nose in disgust as she hear Elisa's voice once again on the intercom. The week had dragged for her. She had very little sleep and the dark circles under her eyes were only getting more prominent as the days passed. She had taken to sleeping in the game room on an oversized couch due to the fact that everyone's dreams were very 'loud' and the girl in the room next to her had nightmares every single night. Irina didn't want to get upset with her. From what she had seen, it wasn't the girl's fault for the horrific scenes that went on in her head, but Irina couldn't help but feel some resentment towards the fact that she had to suffer through them as well. At least until she walked as far away from the dormitory corridor and her mind would go quiet. 

Through out the week, Esme had tried to help as much as possible. It wasn't until the day prior that Irina had actually tuned Esme out for a whole five minutes. She had tried it again during the night, and from her sheer exhaustion, Irina had managed to block everyone out and fall asleep within seconds of doing so. She hadn't woken up at all until about five hours later when the voices practically shouted at her. 

Still, the week had dragged and now she had found herself sitting on her bed, staring at nothing as she tried to find the motivation to move. Having woken up so early, Irina had already gone into the cafeteria and grabbed a granola bar and a glass of chocolate milk, then came back to her room. Eating had also become something that Irina did little of. Upon her arrival, she had ate well, but after the first two nights it seemed as though her motivation to do anything had died. 

Voices began to echo down the hall as others began to not only wake up, but leave their rooms. Taking a sip from her chocolate milk, Irina supposed that she should began moving towards where the scientists were herding the teenagers. 

[i]'But why should I? Why can't I just sleep?'[/i]

Although the voice inside her head went against what Elisa said, Irina's body seemed to be compliant. Without hesitating, the teenager stood up and walked out into the hall as if she was a zombie. Her body felt numb and her brain thought of nothing as she moved. It was purely on muscle memory at this point. 

If anyone had been in the hallway with Irina, she hadn't noticed. She had made it her goal to make it to the auditorium from her room, and fortunately for the scientists, she had made it. How she got here? Irina couldn't recall. She remembered sitting on her bed and trying to finish her granola bar but that's about it. Now she had found herself sitting in the first chair that she had seen, and waited for the others to come.
