Tye awoke with a start, feeling a sharp pain in his head. He looked at his surroundings only to find that he was in an empty corridor with brick walls covered in lit torches. At first he felt confused, but then he began to remember what had led him to this place. Olivia had taken control of him.
At this realization panic had begun to settle into Tye's mind. Many thoughts raced inside of his head at once, But one shouted out the most. However, this thought was probably not you would have guessed. The one thought that yelled in his head was "Thank you, Olivia." Of course, even he did not quite understand how he could thank such a monster.
As Tye contemplated how he could feel such relief in his situation a breeze gently grazed his skin. Confused by the thought of wind being in such a place he decided to travel in the direction the wind had just come from. As he traveled he began to notice a rise in temperature, he felt the corridor getting hotter and hotter. As he pushed himself farther and farther into the heat, which had now become almost unbearable, he began to question why he was still moving forward. Why was he pushing to find a way out of the first safe place he'd ever found?
Before he could answer his own question he collapsed; however as soon as he hit the floor all his fatigue had disappeared, and the corridor had once again become a regular temperature. For some reason Tye's heart began to race, and he once again started down the corridor. This time the corridor began to get colder instead of heating up, until eventually Tye collapsed once again, only to find everything the same as before. Confused, Tye continued on. Whether it ended in snake bites or drowning, Tye continued with his heart beating faster than rain hitting a roof in the middle of a hurricane. He continued on for what felt like days, until finally the booming voice of a woman filled the corridor.
"How… how can you continue with a smile on your face. Most would have given up or gone insane, how is it that you can still push on, let alone while smiling?"
A smile? Tye thought. He touched his face and realised for the first time, after being in this horrifying corridor for so long, that he was indeed smiling. Then he pieced all together the rapid beating of his heart, he realised why he had been pushing after all this time.
"How can I continue with a smile you ask?" he began, "it's simple, it's funner to push on than to give up, and what do you do while you're having fun? Why, you smile of course!" Tye stood there smiling until the voice came back with booming laughter.
"AHAHAHA! How could I have forgotten something so simple." Suddenly the corridor melted to black and a light shined down on a large beautiful fountain with a swan sculpture at the center. Tye would have questioned many things at that moment had his attention not been completely taken over by the woman next to the fountain.
The woman was around seven feet tall, she had long golden hair that reached her sides, and stunning blue eyes. Before Tye could say a single word the woman had advanced toward him and knelt down, bringing her down to a little over his eye height. She grabbed his chin and moved his face examining him like a mother would a child after they fell.
"You are a queer one. I thought for sure you were just insane, but no. You are completely coherent." Tye could not speak; he was too confused and overwhelmed to form any words. "Oh, poor dear, you probably have no idea what's happening do you," she let go of his chin and stood up forcing him to look up at her face, "No worries, all you need to know is this. I will now allow you to awaken at the exact moment you left. As soon as you awaken your father will die and Olivia will try to drink your blood…" she then bent over and whispered something in Tye's ear, "you will remember what I have said when the time is right. Now, goodbye and sorry for your loss."
As the woman said her final words Tye's eyes became heavy and he fell asleep.
