"No, no, no, no..." Fenran dropped to his knees and blubbered incoherently. His heart was thumping. His ears were ringing. Prisoner gasped quick shallow breaths, blood seeping from her wound. He was scared to touch her. As if touching her would provoke death. He closed his eyes hard. Nauseated. He didn't want to see Prisoner like this. Not like this.

    Opening the once lonely door, there was a hallway that seemed to have just rejoiced with a once depriven necessity. As striking as the first rose in spring, her silky, soft, shiny hair combined with her enticingly exquisite eyes produced a sublime look; it instantly ejected any pressure in the room. Her presence would’ve even made an angry person hopeful. Withered by time, the plethora of thin liable cracks scattered across the olive-dyed floors and indigo walls with an antique circular pattern ; this house was old enough to live in a pangea . However, there was a skeptical sense of suspicion of this person.…

Now those very trees lean, amongst toppled trees that lay about the lowland. During their last visit, a green meadow courted them, but now an almost bare, blemished landscape lay before them and Tabitha couldn’t help but reflect on what life before, and ever since the Lavinia brought them to Draíocht Dol’s shore was like.

    Overcome by feelings of hopelessness, I sat in shock staring at my new home up ahead, Phoenix Prison Camp. I wanted to scream, but when I opened my mouth, nothing came out. At the end of long black top road, a low profile building tucked in an open gravel lot, framed with saguaro cacti. As I walked through the wire embedded glass door, I experienced the loss of freedom for the first time in my life. Once inside the building, I felt like a bird with a clipped wing, trapped.…

    The girl hid behind her black shawl as he slowly made his way to the stand. The deafening silence made her cringe inside, her mind succumbing to the dark thoughts lurking in the corners.
