The cool night air, breezed it's way into the room. I shivered at the sudden coolness. I stretched my arm out, trying to grab onto a blanket but nothing was there.

My eyes squeezed shut in tiredness, before reopening. Nothing was there, but for some reason I felt like I was being watched.

Yawning, I looked at my phone which read 6:45 am. My body felt numbed to the bone with tiredness, I wish that I could stay in bed forever but I knew I had to get up.

One body push later, I was up and ready in front of my large mirror. I took a moment to examine my reflection. In front of me, stood a broken little girl that looked like she would collapsed any moment if others would let her. Too bad she held to many responsibilities or she would have already.

"Is something wrong?" A voice interrupted my thoughts.

I shook my head, letting my dark hair drop freely. "No nothing is wrong." I replied.

The owner of the voice studied me a little longer. It looked like he truly wanted to say something but he kept his mouth shut.

I looked around the room, everything seemed a little fazy and blurry. My head started to spin a little in the process.

"What do you want? Why are you here?"

His lip curled into a crooked smirk. "Explain to me Iris, where do you think we are?"

I looked at him as if he was insane, and in fact he truly was. "We are in my room!" I exclaimed. I went to look back to the mirror to prove my point but when I looked back, I was not in my room anymore. I was in the middle of a street.

The sky was still dark and filled with the same stars. I would have laid down and take a moment to analyze the sky. But I was currently in the middle of a busy street and a yellow taxi cab was hurdling my way.

I wave my hands in the air, hoping he would notice me and stop, but he continued and if anything, he sped up.

I winced as the bright lights from the car continued to get closer and closer. At last resort, I went to run. I forced all my energy to my legs, but with all strength I used, they wouldn't move one inch.

"I can't move! Please stop!" I continued to scream to the unknown taxi driver. Obviously, he still wouldn't listen to one word I spoke.

Last thing I heard before coming to was metal crashing and my own scream of terror.

"Iris! Are you okay?"

I turned away from my pillow and faced Max. His expression held worry.

"I'm not okay" I croaked. "But I will be when I get Ryder behind bars once and for all. I won't rest till he is rotting in a cell or dead on the floor with his blood on my hands." I mumbled the last part and soon I was back into a pit of darkness.
