Tessa sighed. "Just breath Marya. We won't."

Marya nodded, her dirty blonde hair covering her eyes.

Slowly, Loriana moved to help Marya up. "Come on, let's go to bed. Okay? I'll read to you till you go to sleep."

"No, no, no, no. As much as my past pains me, it's better to know who you are than be a shell of yourself. Who am I Loriana? I can't even remember that."

Gisella looked up at Loriana, gave a weak smile and then stood, heading towards the door. "Loriana?" She asked quietly. "Can I ask you a favor?"

Loriana looked over, then looked at Marya. "Give me a minute, dear." She then went over to Gisella. "What do you need, Gisella?" She kept her tone quiet so as not to scare the girl.

"A seed, a pot of dirt and some water every now and then. I've been reading a book about flowers and I want one of my own. Is that too much to ask?" Gisella said, shyly.

Loriana bit her lip slightly in thought. Then shook her head. "No, I can do that for you! I can. Just give me till the end of the day, alright? You just want some flowers?"

Gisella nodded. "I wanna grow one from a seed and put it by my window." She motioned to the door. "I'm gonna go back to my room now if that's alright."

She nodded. "Alright, I'll get it to you. I promise." She smiled slightly then went back to Marya. "Marya…do you want me to get your file?"

Gisella walked patiently back to her room and tucked herself in. It was a comfy bed. But not comforting. They way it smelled and the feelings and harsh memories it contained. Not hers. Unfamiliar. She pulled out her plant book and red about pruning. She wondered if it worked on people. Not full decapitation but just a refresh of their minds. A dark thought. And one that held more meaning than she understood.

"Yes." Marya nodded, still holding onto Rafael's leg.

"Are you done yet?" He asked as he started walking them back to the bed.

"No," James replied, "Just decided to stop struggling."

“Hey, it’s okay.”, Rafael said softly, crouching down next to Marya. “How long have you been here?”

Loriana frowned. "Marya? She's supposed to be in bed." She walked in too, then sighed. "Vaughn, I'm very sorry for all of these people barging in WITHOUT asking." She looked at the two girls, then handed both the men their waters and set the food down in front of Vaughn.

Vaughn nodded and murmured another “thank you” before drinking the water first, a bit slower this time.

"If I let you go are you going to make a run for it?" He asked a little gruffly.

"And why would I tell you that?" James responded.

"Just hoping you'll make my job easier and cooperate." Kaden sighed and dumped him onto the bed. "You're not going to win this. Might as well make it easier on yourself and stop resisting."

"No," James responded. He didn't know why he was being so adamant about this, but he blamed his stubbornness.
