"Hey!!!"
Lola screamed until not only her throat hurt, but her ears rang from the force of her own voice. She panted heavily, staring in the same direction even though she couldn't see anything.
It was complete darkness.
Or at least, that was what she thought.
"I told you to kill me!" she shouted hoarsely. "Because I promise all of you—if I get out of here—I'm going to throw you into total darkness. A permanent one!"
She exhaled sharply, touching her aching throat as she winced. She ruffled her hair, her head pounding from all the screaming. Never in her life had she screamed this much.
"These annoying—"
"Lola?"
She froze as another voice echoed in the same room. Worse… it sounded familiar.
"Lola, is that— is that you?"
She blinked and turned her head to the voice, but all she saw was darkness. Then she heard metal clanking, like someone grabbing bars and shaking them abruptly.
"Is it really you?!" the familiar voice called again.
