"Puppets" came the voice in a song song tone from down the hallway.
"Bath times over..." He said jaggedly turning the keys of the four bathroom doors of which 2 were empty. As Tal and I stepped out of the Grotty bathroom we were met by two faces. There was another girl, about my age and another boy, bright blue eyes and curly blonde hair. Next to their limp bodies The Man towered over them.
"Today's going to be exciting" he says clapping his hands, creating a loud echo running down the endless hallway. He started walking, but we all stayed put, thinking about how we and him had a very different idea of "fun".
"PUPPETS" he yelled angrily, "Follow!"
We all walk after him, our foot steps were the only noise that could be heard in the abandoned warehouse. The 5 of us reached the main, spacious room where I had first woken up. He lined us all up before standing I front of us,
"You don't look much like puppets" he said sadly, looking at us in disappointment.
"How could we fix that, I wonder" he smiles, "Anyone got any ideas??"
He circles us like a shark about to attack, catching our eyes as we try and avoid his. I can feel him stop in front of me and let out a soft laugh.
"You pretty girl," he says "You were supposed to be graduating today, you had studied so hard, it was a real shame"
I could feel my face go bright red and tears start to form in my eyes, I think about Caroline, Mum, Dad and my little brother.
"Now would you mind telling me how to turn you into puppets?" He playfully teases. I am frozen by horror and sadness, I say nothing. He eventually moved on to the girl with long black hair that I spotted in the corridor on the way here.
"How about you?" He says, running his hands through her matted hair. She shakes her head.
There were a few moments pause,
"Dress us up..." She says quietly.
"Ahh" says the man calmly,"Very smart" He stands back in front of us all and we all slowly lift our heads up.
"Dressing up it is!" He booms leaving the main room back into the corridor.

There were a few moments pause. Nothing was said. Our bodies to over come by fear to move or speak.
Suddenly a loud cry came from the girl. I looked at Tal before rushing over to her to see if she was okay. I kneeled down beside her crying, upset body.
"I am so sorry" she says quietly, choking on her tears.
I look blankly at her for a few moments before beckoning to Tal to come over.
"It's okay," he said rubbing her shaking shoulder.
"No it's not, I am so scared and worried and I want to go home" Says the girl, clasping her hands over her eyes.
I wrap my arm around her shoulder, and I push her tangled hair out of her face.
"Hey," I say softly "What's your name?"
She looks up and me and pushes away the tears, looking embarrassed.
"Imogen..." She says, managing a small smile.
"Well I'm Sofie," I say, kindly smiling back her. She looks back over at Tal,
"I'm Tal and I promise I'm going to get you out of here."

I start to hear loud, uneven footsteps echoing down the dark hallway. Tal and I rush back over to our stops, standing side by side.
"Thank you" I whisper quietly.
He looks down at me and smiles, I try not to look like I am having to much of a fangirl moment.
"Here we go!" He says joyfully, looking into the cardboard box he is holding.
He rummages through the box a little before pulling out an extremely should dress that wouldn't even go past my waist.
"This one is perfect for..." He says playfully, spying all our dirty and drained faces.
"Sofie!" He said throwing the dress to me, my barely able to catch it. I slowly slip it on, it barely did go past my waist. I tried to pull it down but it was way too small.
"Perfect" he said, looking at me. Well not exactly my face he was looking at.

AN
I don't even know, sorry this is so slow moving but it will hopefully get faster, I just want to build up their relationship before jumping ahead.
