The concrete floor dug into her back as her head was still ringing. And there was a cold breeze that felt relieved. Then, she remembered everything: Angel's Hand, the strangers, and that awful gas. Roshanna's eyes opened wide with fear as she tried to look around the poorly lit room. She noticed a double door and immediately ran towards it. However, it was lock despite her attempts to force it open. The noise awakened someone else. [color=87979E]"What.. who is making that sound?"[/color] the voice tiredly asked. Roshanna turned and barely recognized the woman from earlier. She gave up on the door and went towards her. [color=96B476]"Are you alright?"[/color] [color=87979E]"Yeah, I think... Where are we?"[/color] [color=96B476]"I don't know."[/color] Roshanna offered her hand to the stranger. [color=96B476]"But, we aren't staying any longer. I'm Roshanna, by the way."[/color] [color=87979E]"Holly."[/color] Holly grabbed the hand and got up with no problems. She looked around the room and saw two other people on the ground. [color=87979E]"We need to wake them up. Then, we can try to leave."[/color] Holly made her way over towards one of the strangers without hesitation: the man wearing a vest covered in patches. For a young age, her father taught her the importance of helping out. It made sense, given that he used to frequent church often. And sometimes, Holly came along to help out the homeless or distributed food to struggling families. She missed those moments with her father more than ever. So, Holly made her way to the man wearing a vest with... interesting patches while Roshanna went to the other man. Lonnie felt someone trying to wake him up, but his head was still ringing. He went to stand up and found it to be difficult. But, sitting up didn't cause too much pain. Meanwhile, the woman backed away to give him some space before introducing herself. [color=87979E]"Hello, I'm Holly. I was at Angel's Hand earlier before we ended up here."[/color] [color=873946]"Lonnie."[/color] Lonnie waved and then tried to stand up again, but his headaches caused enough pain that it was a struggle. He turned towards Holly and extended his hand towards her. [color=873946]"Could you help me up?"[/color] [color=87979E]"Yeah, I got you."[/color] Holly smiled at Lonnie and went to help him up. But when she grabbed his hand, the world around her began to collapse in itself. There were flashes of random images: a woman standing over a kid, the police surrounding him, a man and another woman with the kid, and some men in suits. It felt surreal. Then, she was back in the real world. Lonnie was deeply disturbed and disgusted while processing the mindfuckery that just occurred. He looked up at Holly clearly upset and troubled. [color=873946]"You... you were in my mind! How?!"[/color] [color=87979E]"I-I don't know?!"[/color] Holly looked at her own hands while they were glowing a mixture of red and gold. She didn't know how to react. Roshanna looked at her with fear while Miguel was amazed. And then suddenly, the sound of the door opening echoed across the room. Everyone turned their attention towards the source and were surprised to see it was a woman in a wheelchair approaching them. She had on a mask with a box on her lap, which was partially opened. Then, she reached into the box and pulled a bag of fruit snacks. [color=217D68]"Fruit snack?"[/color][/color][/indent][/indent][/indent] [hr]
