-Break-A few days laterHearing a noise, I open my eyes and turn my head to the right, where I see Mariana throwing up, and I say, “Oh, so do it as well. Are you ok?”Mariana, finishing her release, looks at me and gives me a thumbs-up with a sickly expression.So I respond with another thumbs up back towards her.Seeing the sun shining outside the room, I say, “It’s late, why didn’t they start ringing the bell to get us up?”Then moments later, memories of last year start flashing throughout my brain, and I say, “Bricriu is coming.”-Break-Location: On a path towards the centre plainMariana, beside us, says, “So that’s how I got this scar on the back of my knee.”“Urgh.”“Hey, what about that, urgh?”“I was worried about you this morning, but it seems you're doing just fine; you haven’t been able to stop talking since we started walking.”“Well, what else are we supposed to do!? Everyone is being forced to walk to who knows where, so how else am I supposed to keep you entertained?”

Looking at me, Mariana says, “If we use the owl's memories as a guidepost, we might be able to learn their language. Now, to mention all the other information about the beastkin we can get from this.”“If we are able to speak and understand their language, not to mention how they work as a group, lots of the different issues we face in escaping would vanish or become significantly easier.”With eyes of hope, Mariana says, “This means we really could break out one day.”A moment of silence occurs as the idea of freedom rushes into our minds. Suddenly, I remember the images of my father's face, causing me to calm down and say, “Wait, don’t you think you're getting too hasty? There are a few things we need to work out with this owl.”“Like what?”“Like, why did it specifically show us memories we would want to see? It is like it knew showing us those memories would decrease our chances of killing it.”As Mariana and I stare at the wonderbeast, it starts to sweat and turn its head away. Th

-Break-Location: Beastkin dormsWalking through the dorms towards the exit, I am suddenly grabbed and put in a headlock by Ryan, who says, “Breast milk, I was looking for you.”Standing still out of fright, I say, “What do you need, Ryan?”“You see, I have been working really hard, and it has been causing me to get blisters all over my feet, so I was just wondering if I could get paid leave.”With a shaky voice, I say, “But if you go as well, the number of workers will be too few to help us handle the number of slaves.”“Stop being just a fucker, we already have a whole bunch of Merarks, so just ask them to keep watch.”“What if they start rampaging and killing the slaves? I won’t be able to deal with them.”“You’re the boss, it is your job to deal with them, and I will only be going back home for Samhain. When the celebration at home is over, I will come back to relax here at work because if I stayed home, my father would force me to help around.”With a shy head tilt, I say, “I am t

The next dayIn front of me, I see the two faces that matter most to me: my parents. I run towards my father, who picks me up, and in his arms, I give a kiss to both of my parents on their cheeks and say, “I want to see you both so much.”My father rubs my head and says, “I know you do, but you can’t come see us.”“But without you both, I am all alone in this world.”My mother says, “Mariana, you know as well as I do that is not true, god would never allow it.”My father says, “While it might be years till you see us again, that doesn’t mean you need to cry. All you need is to cherish those who you have around.”In unison, they both say, “Bye, Mariana.”Opening my eyes, I rub the tears in them away and say, “Another one of those dreams. I guess my fears of my mother's fate are still bothering me.”Sitting up and looking at Charles and Nero, I say, “Well even if it is just a dream I should heed them.”Suddenly, Nero sits up and starts to throw up, so I say, “Another bad dream?”After he

-Break-As Statilla talks to members of the campsite, she smiles with all her heart and soul. She tries to be completely and utterly defenceless as she tries to allow people to come near her heart, but still, she can’t help but be rigid, and one man, seeing this, decides he must do something about it.Moving up stealthily behind her, Nero puts his hands on her waist and starts to tickle her nonstop.As she laughs, she says, “What are you doing, Nero!?”“You are being way too closed off, let out the beast that I have seen these past three days.”“Stop!” She says while laughing.“I can’t hear you!”As Nero continues to tickle her, she continues to laugh until she is able to gain enough power to grab him and throw him right onto the ground. Then, while she towers over him, Statilla starts to pound his head with her foot repeatedly.Nero screams in terror, “Stop!”Statilla with a demonic smile, says, “I can’t hear you!”Statilla continues to stamp against Nero’s head for a little while unt
