Xander had been clutching the glass shard so tightly that it cut into his hand. He was frozen, and his gaze was on the girl. Xander could not speak. How many people had been kidnapped?

Enzo was conflicted. If he kept his back to the other man for too long, he could use whatever he'd just broken to stab him in the back. But if he turned, the girl might get even more spooked and pass out –putting her at risk. He made his decision quickly. Approaching the girl slowly, he kept his smile on his face. "Hey, it's okay, chiquita," he said, "I'm Enzo. I'm lost, too."

Asura woke up with a loud gasp, nearly falling out of his bed. He sat up straight, panting and gasping for air as he looked around. He wasn't all familiar with his surroundings.

Lixi nodded. "I-I'm L-Lixi." She studdered and stared to calm down a bit. Her hand was shaking unbearably as she reached out and grabbed Enzo's hand whule having her other hand clutched to the wall.

Xander was trembling, probably at least as panicked as the girl in front of him. He stepped towards Enzo and Lixi, still holding the glass. It wasn't Enzo he was afraid of. It was whoever might have kidnapped them, and he was determined to keep his guard up.

"Alright, nice to meet you Lixi," he said, holding her hand gently. He turned to face the other man, keeping a steadying hand on Lixi. "And you are?" he demanded, eyeing the shard of glass in the guy's hand.

Name: Paige Turner
Age: 17
Appearance: angelic blonde hair and wide, blue, doe eyes

Paige heard voices and crept down a slim side hallway. A girl, looking faint, was speaking with two aggressive looking guys. Oh Lord, stay calm. Oh Lord…

Asura climbed out of bed and slowly made his way toward the door, peering down the hallway. "Hello?" He called.

"Xander," he answered hoarsely, "And this?" Xander motioned at the glass shard. "This isn't for you. It's for whatever sick freak did this to us."
His voice wavered a lot, and he still thought he was going to completely break down. Yet, by some miracle, he was still standing, looking Enzo in the eye.

Lixi was alarmed that she heard more voices behind her, it sent her into panic causing her to hid behind Enzo, one hand still holding his and the other clutching his shirt.

Asura climbed out of bed and slowly made his way toward the door, peering down the hallway. "Hello?" He called.

(Talking to Paige?)

"Okay, Xander," Enzo repeated, his expression serious but still calm. "How long have you been here?"

Asura climbed out of bed and slowly made his way toward the door, peering down the hallway. "Hello?" He called.

(Talking to Paige?)

(to anybody who will hear him)

"E-Enzo, there a-are people b-behind us." She whimpered. She was gettting better, but this place freaked her out.

"I woke up here," Xander replied, "just now." He heeded Lixi's warning and peered behind Enzo and her. He wasn't sure if they were hostile or not, but his bravado, which hardly existed to begin with, was wearing thin. He wasn't sure he could threaten them.

Enzo whirled around. How many people were there? "Who are you?" he called out, positioning himself protectively in front of the other two.

Asura jumped again when he spotted the people in the hallway, resisting the urge to yell in surprise. He stepped out of his room, straightening up a bit. "Who are you?"

Paige watched as another person entered the room. How many people were in this house?

"Enzo, will we be ok?" She peeped up from behind while clutching his shirt.

"My name is Enzo," he replied impatiently. "And I'm guessing that you've been kidnapped too." He glanced down at Lixi. "Of course we will."

Paige felt the girl's same emotions. She was terrified that they would find her.

Lixi nodded before taking a deep breath to calm herself down. She trusted this man even though she didn't know him. ( I Gtg.)

"Has anyone seen any doors or windows at all?" Xander asked, finally regaining some composure, "There has to be some way out of this forsaken place."

"I'm Asura," he said. "So… we've all been kidnapped? How?"

Paige accidentally sneezed. Her heart spiked with fear.

Enzo's eyebrows twitched. All this chaos was starting to bother him. He took a deep breath. "Did…did I hear a sneeze just now?"
