“I DON’T WANA DIE! I DON’T WANA DIE!” The voice of Rose screamed. The vision of a child Rose appeared running down a candle lit hallway, the walls made of brick. She was running, tears running down her face.

The young Rose tuned left at a corner and continued running down steps. She was holding a silver locket, in the shape of a heart. She turned to see a showery figure following her. She continued running and turning right at another corner, but came to a dead end.

The young Rose turned to run out of it, but the figure appeared at the only exit. Rose fell to her knees in fear, and screamed.

Rose woke up from her slumber, breathing hard. She looked around, seeing her room, and the sunlight shining through into her room. She was sweating. “That dream… I haven’t thought of that day in years… there is only one explanation…”

Rose got up from her bed and looked out the window. “He’s here.”

There was a loud knock at the door, which made Rose jump. She went to the door and answered it. A smiling Laura was on the other side of the door. “Hey Rose.” Laura suddenly froze, taking notice of Rose’s troubled look. “What’s wrong?”

Rose bowed her head. “Nothing, nothing.”

Laura shrugged and walked inside her room. “Did you hear? You’re Assistant Captain and two other kids left yesterday to go to Limestone.”

“Yes, Soria alerted me about her absence.” Rose answered closing the door.

“It’s almost time for our plan to be carried out.” Laura said taking a seat on a wooden chair.

Rose walked over to the window and stared out. “Where are you? Why are you here?”

“Rose?” Laura said.

Rose stopped thinking and turned to Laura. “Yes?”

“Something is bothering you.” Laura said sternly. “Tell me.”

“Nothing is bothering me.” Rose answered. “I’m just not feeling my self today.”

Laura stared at her with a curious look for a moment. She then got up from the chair. “Sure.”

Laura walked over to the door. She opened it and turned to Rose. “Focus on the plan, Rose.”

Rose rolled her eyes and Laura exited. When Laura closed the door behind her, she stood outside her room for a moment, looking at the door. After a moment she started walking away.

Emashi was on his knees in front of The Master in the Meeting Hall. He had a troubled expression on his face. “We cannot find Prisoner Number 56 anywhere.”

“All the research we have done as to where he could be failed.” Mosabi said who was on his knees left to Emashi. “We may have to fear the worst.”

The Master was silent for a moment. “Meaning that he could be with Aaron and Tusado?”

“Yes, Master.” Emashi answered quietly. “That’s the only lead we have. Aaron and Tusado must have let him out of The Jail Tower.”

“There is no way he could have escaped without help.” Mosabi added.

The Master sighed. “I know. He is perhaps on of the most dangerous prisoners we have, this is a serious matter.”

“We will keep looking.” Emashi said standing up. Mosabi also stood up.

The Master nodded. Emashi and Mosabi exited the Meeting Hall. The Master sighed. “What a pain.”

Assistant Captain Chiryuu was sitting in a chair by the bedside of Captain Shrio. Shiro was half awake, sweating.

“So that’s about all that’s going on in the Soul Reaper World right now.” Chiryuu concluded. “As you can see, the Soul Reaper World is not in the best of times; Aaron and Tusado around, and the escape of Number 56.”

“How unfortunate.” Shiro said in a weak voice. “I wish I was stronger to help out around here…”

“You don’t worry about that.” Chiryuu said. “You rest. Your new medicine is on the way from Limestone.”

“Who did they send to get it?” Shiro asked. “You usually get it for me.”

“Oh,” Chiryuu began. “The Master sent Clema, Soria, and Naruto.”

“Kids to Limestone?” Shiro asked.

“As you know, the forest is on the way, where Ken died.” Chiryuu said. “The Master wants Clema to learn something. I think you know what I mean.”

Shiro let out a violent cough, with a small amount of blood. Chiryuu got up and got a tissue for Shiro, and handed it to him.

“I do.” Shiro said whipping the blood off his hand. “Thank you Chiryuu, for all that you have done for me.”

Chiryuu grinned. “It’s no problem Shiro.” Chiryuu went over to the door. “Be back later.”

“Alright.” Shiro said. Chiryuu smiled and exited.

The sun was setting in the Soul Reaper World. The streets were getting less crowded. Walking down the main street was the muscular man with red eyes and brown spiky hair. His hands were in his pockets as he walked. He was in a leather jacket, with the sleeves ripped off. He had jeans on. He stopped and looked at the buildings.

“I can sense you, Rose. Now, where are you?” He thought while grinning. He proceeded walking down the street.
