[@Kimberly] What was this feeling called. Somehow Alia couldn't pick up on this emotion behind this stranger's voice. The girl looked a bit young to be a guard, but inside her mind screams trap while another soft voice tells her that the stranger is not a threat.

She makes up her mind. Taking a deep breath she reaches out for the pipe, just in case this person is actually a foe. This is going to be Alia, she cannot be afraid even though her legs shakes, she is gonna fight, if they take her back.

Fight.Fight.Fight
She repeats the mantra in her head silently to ground her from fleeing.

She faces the girl,"I am not going to go back..."

She waits watching the other girls reaction, looking for cues, for some expression that she can identify.
