own guard dog because he's so badly Autistic" John explained, trying to shake the bars again, I watched him.

"We have to get out of these cages, he keeps a separate key hanging in his room for all the cages in case he loses the one in his pocket. We have to get the hell out and save everyone" I stated, John nodded.

"How do you suppose we even get out of our own?" John asked, I thought about it for a moment before a deep voice suddenly interjected.

"Could always try sneaking it from him?" Kevin laid in a cage across from mine. The third of the first five.

"How? He always has it in his coat pocket" I explained, Kevin shifted.

"When he goes to operate on someone, they spill something so bad he has to leave the room, get up and snatch the extra key and hide it. Lay back down like nothing happened and when he returns, finishes up, returns you to your cage, we'll be good from there to plan out more" Kevin described, I thought it through before nodded.

"He goes every other day to get a kid" I spoke to John this time, John nodded.

As if on cue, Eisen came shuffling in, pacing.

"He was a tricky one" Eisen stated, in a cage that was placed by the door laid his little brother, not the Autistic one.

"You prick!" John screamed, Eisen smiled.

"He's not Autistic! You grabbed the wrong one again!" Venom dripped off of every word he growled out, Eisen's face dropped as he grumbled.

He unlocked a cage and yanked out Tim from the far left, dragging him towards the operating room. I leaned back, unsure of the plans we had just made but unsure of a lot of other things too. How was he getting away with kidnapping kids so easily? Were there no rules up on land? I was scared.

John jumped noticeably as a crashing sound could be heard from the room, I glanced up and in walked Tim angrily, getting into his cage and slamming the door shut.

"Lock it!" Tim yelled out, Eisen locked the cage and tried kicking it but only hurt himself.

"All of you! Ungrateful! Now you're punished" Eisen stated as he walked out hurriedly, I blinked a few times dumbfounded. I heard a small commotion from Tim's cage as whispering went from one cage to the next. In a minute, a small silver metal caught the light as he was slipped into my cage; dropping to the floor. I eyed it for a moment before I recognized it clearly.

The master key.

I picked it up and looked at it carefully, making sure it was the right one.

"Kevin" I whispered, he opened his eyes and turned his head towards me.

"Yeah?" He asked, I held the key up and him and John's eyes opened noticeably. I slid it into my pants, just on my hip where it would be hidden but held into place. I laid back, relaxing for the first time in a while. We would have big plans ahead of us and if I released the right kids, we would be able to get out of here alive. All of us. I had to do it fast, all the kids in Kara's and Jules' state wouldn't have long left and I was determined to get us all out of here.

In the morning, Eisen was staring at me before I even opened my eyes. I raised my eyebrow once I looked at him, curling up more on my cot. It was warm in the room.

That's when a foul smell entered into my cage, I hid my nose and squeezed my eyes shut, it smelled horrible. What was it? Eisen seemed to notice and patted the cage.

"It's just breakfast" He said with a smug smile, I raised my head and went closer to the door once he left, I glanced around. Things seemed quiet, too quiet. I looked across to Kevin, he was holding his head to his knees.

"He's gone too far this time, Lewis! Too far! Don't eat the food, no matter what you do, don't even put it to your lips!" Kevin warned, he lifted his head and tears streamed down. I tried to understand as a bowl was placed into my cage, I glanced down at it. It was the nastiest looking concoction I had ever seen being here, a bowl was given to everyone but just like I did, they looked at it funny. It didn't smell good in the least bit, nor did it look good. Nobody had any reason to eat it.

The liquid in it was a dark red, small solid objections were floating around, it looked ground down like it was put threw a blender. Once Kevin was given a bowl, he basically threw it towards the the cage, the contents splashing all over the floor.

"You sick, bastard!" Kevin drew closer to the back of his cage, that's when it clicked. John's cage was empty. I glanced at the bowl and instantly threw up all over it. I whimpered and drew back towards my cot, hiding my face, others seemed to wonder what was going on. Asking me what happened.

"He murdered John, he's trying to feed him to us" I whispered to the person that was in the cage next to me, he wanted to throw up too and in five seconds, each bowls contents were threw across the floor. It looked like a murders' version of a slip-and-slide.

I was shaking on my cot, scared, angry, hurt, horrified, hungry, disgusted, sick, all in one. I didn't know what to do but seeing that, I was even the more determined to kill this sick, twisted, human being. Could he even be classified as a human? I wasn't sure.

I soon passed out, ignoring the crying going on around me, hardly noticing the shriek from Eisen. The next morning was hazy, I rubbed my face and glanced down, the floor, the bars, the bowls had all been cleaned up. I glanced at John's cage, wishing it was all a nightmare but in the cage was only an empty cot. I cried silently for the poor boy.

The shuffling from two days previous returned and an almost lifeless body was throw into the cage, I nearly jumped towards the bars, clinging to them as I stared at the body that now lay in John's cage. The boy wasn't John.

I lost some hope as I drew back, this boy was a dark skinned one, half white and half darker. I took a deep breath and watched as Eisen left, I lost my chance but didn't lose hope as his shuffling across the shiny floors led to a slam of an old steel door.
