Dan's *POV*

I sit there, staring at Woody's limp, lifeless body, tears blurring my vision. I look over and notice that the demons have vanished.

"YOU HEARTLESS BASTARDS!" I yell through the room. Will lays his head on Chris' body, crying silently. I look over at Cassie to see that she is unstrapped and curled into a ball, covering her mouth with her hands, and crying.

I let go of Woody's hand and walk over to her, wiping away my tears, "Cass..."

She shakes her head and hides under the sheets. I hear her scream and curse through the tears, "I heard the whole thing, I saw it too..." She whispers, "I heard Will's story and watched Woody die. Why did I have to be thrown into this. Fuck, why." She sniffles as I uncover her and sit next to her on the bed. I stroke her hair and take her hand. A wave of relief comes over me as I notice that she isn't pulling away.

Cassie climbs into my arms and cries into my chest. I feel her small hands grip onto my shirt as she cries harder. All I can do is wrap my arms around her into a tight hug and cry with her.

All I know is that none of this horror will be shown on the security film.

It has been a day since Woody's second death. Will and Kyle have stayed with us but have not shown each other to other people.

We are all still haunted by yesterday, but there is nothing we can do. He is gone. But we know that he is with us, in our hearts. And I have a feeling that he is with us at this moment, looking down upon us from above.

Tomorrow is the big day that Cassie and I are going to these classes. We got our schedules. In order we have:

• Group Therapy

• Meditation Class

• Asylum History

• Lunch

• Group Therapy

I really don't like being here. Cass and I are not aloud to leave this room unless we need to go to the bathroom. They bring our food into the room for us.

Life in the Insane Asylum is dull and boring. Kyle and Will make it interesting giving us games to play and stories to listen to.

"Dan?" I hear Cassie say behind me. I turn from the window and give her a small smile, "Do you find it weird that we haven't seen the demons in a day?"

I freeze when she asks that. I can tell that Kyle and William froze too from behind me, "Cass...I don't think you should say that..." Kyle squeaks. Cassie nods and rubs her arms.

"I-I am sorry..." She looks down at the ground and walks back to her bed.

"Brace yourself." Will says, knowing what we are all thinking. The demons will be here soon. We all see it coming.
