[b][color=#9370DB]Skills:[/color][/b] N/A [hr][hr][/center]	It looked almost exactly the same as the day she had left. There were a few new games and whatnot, but the overall layout was largely the same. Her body trembled in realization. For a brief moment, she wondered if she had never actually left - if the last few years had been a vivid hallucination, an attempt at escape. This place felt like it had a grip on her soul, an intense gravity that she was helpless against. Her heart was screaming at her to run, to get out, to abandon this ridiculous quest and let someone else sort it out. The terrified, frozen indecision was written plainly across her face. 

	But she had already failed in the most crucial aspect of this quest. A woman had approached, holding a tray of those Lotus cookies. Nancy had been frozen. She didn't act in time. Zeke took one of the cookies and happily ate it, and she could see the way his eyes glazed over, the way the spell consumed him. Tears welled up in her eyes as her entire body trembled. It felt like she was watching it happen all over again. She felt like she was watching herself as a young girl, walking into the jaws of a predator. 

	[color=#9370DB]"No!"[/color] Nancy cried desperately, an intense need and ache in her voice, as if she were begging with the Fates themselves. She could see others reaching for the cookie. [color=#9370DB]"Someone, go stop Zeke!"[/color] Nancy shouted. She tried to knock the tray of cookies out of the employee's hand, so she could crush them under her feet, but the woman instead did a pirouette and offered one to Demi. Nancy's heart was beating intensely and her ears felt like they were full of cotton, as she threw her entire body weight into the employee, knocking her down to the ground. 

	Nancy tried to bash the woman's head against the ground, her fight or flight instinct kicked into overdrive and settling firmly on [i]murder[/i]. [color=#9370DB]"Don't eat it, please!"[/color] Nancy really meant [i]don't leave me alone in here[/i]. The employee though was stronger than she looked, and the two of them were soon locked into a struggle, the tray of cookies abandoned on the floor nearby... [color=#9370DB]"Zeke!!"[/color]
