As I gazed at the sign, Nico laughs happily snapping me from my thoughts. "Yay! Let's go play the dart game thing!" He says with a big smile and runs inside the room.

"You don't have to be so stiff too." Jyugo says as he walks pass me, I squint my eyebrows at him. "When was I stiff?" I say staring at his back, he turns around staring back at me. "Now?" He raises a brow and turns his back.

I sigh softly and entered the room. The room had a couch and multiple gambling games, I look how clean the room was. I walk around slowly adjusting the room. "Mmm, nice place." I hear the sudden voice behind me, I turn my head to the voice and find only N/n. I ignore her and continue to look around, I see in the corner of my eye she was confused as I ignored me.

"Hey, why are you ignoring me?" She chuckles sheepishly, I continue to ignore her. "Is there something wrong? Something I did? What?!" She panics as she was close to my face.

I sigh, narrowing my eyebrows. "I think it would be weird talking to nothingness, they'll all think I'm crazy." I whisper as I pass through her.

She laughs lowly. "Funny to say that- everyone else thinks you're crazy so, I wouldn't worry too much. But, if it means that much to you." She hovers beside me, I lean against a wall my arms crossed and look around.

I stare at the boys playing with the games around the room but, it wasn't my interest and I look around to escape if needed.

N/n hovers beside me also looking around. "Hey! Look!" N/n nudges my shoulder, I look over to her and she points at something.

I see what she's pointing at and it was a vent hanging on the wall, it looked like I could fit in it, the problem was... it was too high from my height. I sigh heavily.

"It would be hard. I won't be able to reach and I don't have anything to unscrew them..." I whisper to her and squint my eyebrows and look for another solution.

I hear N/n cackling disturbingly. I raise a brow and look over to her. "What the hell are you cackling for?" I try not to make it suspicious of me talking to her, I would look around if anyone would see me.

"Oooohh, nothin... there is another way to get to the vents." She grins, her toothy grin is not a very trustworthy thing to see but, if it meant getting out of here then, might as well give it a shot...

I sigh, a small smoke escaping my lips. "... what is it?" I say feeling nervous. She grins even wider. "I know you'll like this- wait no, I'll LIKE THIS!" She giggles devilishly. I'm starting to lose faith. "If you're gonna act like this then, I might as well not trust you." I turn my head away from her. "Ah! No! I'll calm down, hear me out." She calms herself down, trying to contain her giggles.

"There is... the beast you still have in you, you haven't released yet." She smirks, putting her hand over her lips, containing her laughs. I squint my eyebrows and gulp quietly. "You've mentioned this before but, I want full detail." I say resting my head on the wall.

She stops laughing momentarily and stares at me. "Wait.. didn't I already put detail into this?" She tilts her head to the side, I shrug. "I don't know– blame the author for not remembering." "Hey, don't break the forth wall!" "When you put it like that, I think it's already broken." "Your just making it worst." "Can we get back to character already?" "Hmph... fine."

N/n clears her throat and stands before me. "This beast you have inside you is very dangerous and cannot be stopped if you ask me. It's a beast that has long sharp claws that can slice through anything! Sharp disgusting long teeth that could break bones! And bent legs like a wolf and having glowing sharp eyes that could gaze into your soul, saliva dripping down it's mouth as it hunches over like a monster it is with a vicious growl." She came closer as she kept describing this monster. I squint my eyes.

"This sounds like a over powered character in an anime that everyone hates." I say nonchalantly. "You're breaking the forth wall again." A tick mark appearing above her head.

She breathes and looks back at me. "So... what do you think?" She asks with a big smile across her face. I look off somewhere else, avoiding her eye contact. "I'll think about it..." I say quietly. She smiles. "K! But, you better think about this quick, if this monster sees any type of blood then, it will break out of its cage~." She giggles mischievously.

I look down thinking about this 'monster'. "How you describe this 'beast'... how is this physically possible? Sharp ugly teeth? Long claws that can slice through anything? And bent legs? I find this not possible at all." I look at her and she just grins. "Tell the scientists that tortured you for many years but, I'm not here to put triggering memories in you as you need to figure that out yourself." She smiles a fades away.

I just sigh and run my hand through my hair. Growling quietly.

"This is going to be hard to escape this shit hole." I quietly say to myself.

"Hey Mattie!" I hear a chirpy voice call out to me. I snap back and look for the voice calling me, Nico holding two pool sticks with a smile. "Wanna play?" He says happily.

I stare at him for a moment. "What are we playing?" I ask, leaving the wall behind me and walk towards him. "Pool! Me you against Uno and Jyugo!" He says handing me the long stick.

I stare at it for a moment and take it slowly. "Okay." I say and hold the stick firmly. "Yay!" He laughs and skips over the pool table, I follow behind.

Uno and Jyugo awaits for us, Uno leaning against the stick with a cocky smile, Jyugo looking like having confidence in himself.

"Well, well, looks like you actually made him come play with us. It's like he has a soft spot for you, Nico." He chuckles, I squint my eyes. "I have no soft spot for anyone. Anyways, how do you play?" I say staring at the colourful balls formed into a triangle in the middle.

"You don't know how to play?" Jyugo says, raising a brow at me. "I'm not into these types of games so I don't know the rules here." I say slightly harshly.

"I'll explain the rules!" Uno steps in, flicking his cap with his fingers, sparkles around him.

"This white ball is the way to win it! The person hits this ball towards the other balls with this stick, and there's two kinds of balls, one is solid, one is stripes. The person whoever puts it in the hole is a solid or stripe and has to try and hit the other balls into the holes! If you miss then it's the other persons turn and if the person puts the white ball in the hole, the other person gets to put the ball wherever they want! And if you got all your balls in, you have to try and hit that black ball in to win! Make sense?" He smiles brightly at us.

"Uh... I think so?" I say unsure. "Just follow what we're doing." Nico whispers to me, I nod my head. "Okay, let's play ball."
