I opened my eyes and automatically sat up to yawn and stretch. The white rooms that were stained grey surrounded me and I glanced to see who was in charge of watching me. Derek, I like him. He's actually pretty cool compared to some people here. *cough* Valencia *cough*

When he realized I was awake, he immediately sat up and pretended that he was up the whole time. I scoffed and teasingly rolled my eyes. Yeah, I know I'm kidnapped but Derek's nice and at least he makes it somewhat bearable. But the fact that I'm kidnapped still makes me mad. 

"Good morning!" He chirped. He injected me with the serum before my mind could twist and turn his image into something else entirely. 

In his seat was something wrapped up in bright blue wrapping paper. I tilted my head and pointed to it, he patted my vein once more and turned around to see the gift. He smirked and then got up. 

"You're going to love this!" He exclaimed giddily. Is it strange that when he said that, a surge of fear coursed through me? I'm kidnapped! Like, do you expect me to be okay with it and give you my wrists to bind up? I won't go down without a fight. But the look of pure joy on his face made me question yelling 'help' at the top of my lungs. 

He grabbed the gift and I yawned. He's lucky I'm so tired I can't process what's going on. He places the present on my hands and I nimbly began to unwrap the paper. The whole time, he was staring at me in anticipation. 

It's a whiteboard with a small marker hooked on the top! No way! I gasped and hugged him tightly. He tensed but then hugged me back, I pulled away and thought about all the messages Dillan and I could send to one another. Derek laughed as he watched me think. I began to doodle then erased it to write, 'Hullo, I'm Batman' then under it 'rawr'. 

Derek started laughing like crazy and I smirked. When he got back to normal, sitting on his chair and his face no longer a tomato, I made my hands claws and mouthed 'rawr'. He started laughing hysterically again and I shrugged. I don't get what's so funny but I'll accept what I can get. 

"So, Eddie, tell me about yourself," he said after making himself serious. He was leaning one elbow on his knee and was staring intently. There was a small click echoing in the room, must be the clock. 

I began trying to write in my neatest handwriting which was still bad nonetheless. 

'My name is Adeline Crazie but I go by Eddie. I was in the fire. And I hate Valencia.' My 'the' was italicized, I'm so proud of it. It took a lot of effort to make. 

Derek chuckled and whispered, "It's okay, I hate her too. What's your favorite flower?"

'Irises' I scribbled. 

"Your turn is up, Derek," Jace's voice echoed through the room. He was leaning against the frame again and honestly, I'm questioning how long he was standing there. He's a shadow again except now he's looking like death with the way he's glaring at Derek.

Derek flew his arms up in the air defensively like a touchdown and stalked out of the room after giving me a small smile. Once he was clear out of our sights, I gave Jace a glare. 

"Aww, why are you upset with me?" He said with mock hurt layering his voice. I rolled my eyes and began to doodle on my white board. 

Soon enough I realized I drew Dillan. Crud. Even my subconscious misses her, like my conscious isn't enough. I felt Jace staring at me as I began to wipe away my drawing. I'm not a good artist yet you can tell it's Dillan. My finger is now stained black from the marker but I don't care, I can't find my sister. 

"You okay?" Jace asked gently. I glanced up and shot him daggers. He smirked and sat back on his chair as if he's accomplished something.

I sighed and wrote, 'no' on my whiteboard. For some reason this got his attention, he leaned foreword and he tilted his head as if he was concerned. 

I leaned back on the wall, it's cold and rough. Guess they never heard of sand paper before. "What's wrong?"

'IM KIDNAPPED!' I scrawl in all caps. When he read it, he simply pursed his lips and glanced around the room. 

He started unbolting the windows that what were screwed down so I don't jump out. He stepped back to admire his work and then spun around to examine the room, during this I felt a breeze on my face. Something I longed for in this stuffy building. Then Jace grabbed the knocked over bookshelf and fixed it. Then with his hands on his hips, he turned to me. He had a small playful grin but all I could see was the evil smile he had when he killed Lindy. Maybe we can be friends one day but today's not one day. 

"Roomier? Didn't want to make it seem so bad," Jace shrugged as if he cared. 

'Yeah, thanks' I scribbled down, I added a small happy face to make it seem like I'm okay with this but the fact I'm kidnapped ruins everything. 

He grinned and sat back down in the chair.

"Hello, Eddie. Pleasure to meet you, I'm Jace." He winked. 

I rolled my eyes and scrawled, "I got a whiteboard. I'm not a new human being."
