Everywhere we look in the world there's always something wrong or bad lurking in the dark. Maybe a murderer around the corner, or hey maybe evil vampires.

There's always something wrong but all of this? This just seemed too perfect.

How could I hear the voice after days of it not talking to me? How did I escape so easy? More importantly, what was I doing in a dark place with three strangers who claimed to know me?

Nothing was right here. Everything from waking up in silence to three people leading me through a dark cave.

I heard a sigh in the dark before light came to life around me and caused me to squint at the dark figure.

Slowly, the light faded out leaving behind the darkened cell I had come to know as the only place of solace.

"Why couldn't you just go along with it! Really would have been much easier."

The walls had twisted and melted away like hot wax near a flame and left behind a pitiful sight. I had almost been free but in reality...

I was still in the cell.

Jordan's brown eyes stared down at me and I couldn't help but wonder if maybe in a different time he could have been a good guy.

"Do you know that no one has ever questioned the illusions? To everyone is like waking up in a dream. Everything is right and they don't question how they got somewhere. But then there is you!"

He slammed a hand into the bars and rings I didn't know he wore sent out a resounding clang. He seemed angry. Why should he be angry? He isn't the prisoner. He wasn't on his way to freedom to only have it stolen right from under him. I should be angry. I should be furious and yet... I was calm. I didn't know if it was because I was tired of the tricks or because or some other magic but I couldn't even manage to tell him off.

"You can't just be immune to it! There has to be something! Just because you're the Ryt..."

He left mumbling to himself and I had never felt more cold. Never felt more alone. I was trapped here and I couldn't bring myself to care.

I should have just accepted the fake reality.

Isaiah come to work, but it wasn't the first time that they have tried that trick. I don't know what they were after exactly butt if your tasting Freedom so many times, I had never gone insane. I was on the breaking Point.

All I wanted was sleep. Sleep.

"You can just leave, you know."

I snap my head up and looked around all I saw was the dark walls that seem to be forever closing in on me. I couldn't tell if this is a trick or if someone was actually talking to me.

"I know you're awake. I can hear every noise in here."

I decided that this really was someone who's trying to talk to me. Not just another one of those... tricks.

"How do I do that?"

"My my, straight to the point. Nobody has ever managed to figure it out the entire time I've been here."

I scoffed. "Great. So why exactly are you telling me that I can get out of here? It's not like I can float through walls."

Whoever she was laughed at me. "Well of course not! That would be extremely silly. But I can help you, if you'll take me with you."

"And how do I know that this isn't a trick? That we'll actually get out and that this isn't another one of those hallucinations?"

"Have you noticed that everytime you question the reality of the hallucination it fades away and you wind up back in the cell? Well you questioned, and you're still here."

I nodded my head even though she couldn't see it. It was true and I knew I was awake because I felt it.

"And how do you suppose we get through the concrete walls and metal bars and escape without them knowing?"

"Well let's just say, I know a certain... thing or two about this place."

Yeah that didn't sound creepy at all...

"Right. So why haven't you left yet? I mean if you can get out then why are you still here?"

"The only people allowed to leave this Castle are the Inibrius, and anyone they permit. I, happen to be a witch. You as I've been told are a Ritnyr. So you're part a Inibrius. You can get us out so long as you say."

I stood up and walked to the bars. I couldn't see whoever she was but I still faced the voice. Something in me told me it could be done. And that something wanted me to run.

"OK. How do we do it?"
