Jack's House
Ch.9: Dance=Survival
Nyssa's POV:
Its been a few days since I saw Jack. People now called me Little Maid, well except for Baby Doll and Zack. Baby Doll has never told me her real name, and Zack tells me to call him Zack when no one else is around. I gotten closer to Zack since I gotten here. Especially after I saw Jack for the first time. He was the first person there for me after I saw Jack.
I started to cry and felt like I was going to drop. I feel Zack wrap his arms around me and I bury my face into his chest. I wrap my arms around his waist and cry more. "Its going to be okay Nyssa, I promise," he says softly into my ear. "No its not Zack. Its never going to be okay again." "Nyssa I promise that I will get you out of here. I promise that you will have a normal life again." "Thats the thing. I will never have a normal life again." Zack held me longer, we were in the dance studio, Ms. Niessa was in her office. We trusted her, and we knew she could hear us. "I swear I will get you out of here Nyssa. I swear to it."
Now I was in the dance studio with some girls and Baby Doll. Baby Doll let me borrow some of her dance clothes. So I chose a loose black shirt, black tights, and ballet flats. My hair was tied up into a high pony tail. We were stretching when Ms. Niessa, Jack, and Mr. Gaskarth walk in. People started to leave, "no need to leave everyone," Jack says in a calm voice. More people walk in, including the guys. I see Zack and he smiles at me.
"Its time for you to show me your dance Little Maid," Jack says to me. I nod and run to the center of the dance studio. I hear Ms. Niessa start the music and I stand there, staring at my reflection. The music stops and I hear Ms. Niessa walking over to me, her heels echoing on the floor.
"You have no purpose? Well find it. You see, we don't keep things with no purpose. Scared? Feel alone? Well fight. You see, everything all you need, all the weapons you will need, are all in your head. Use your weapons to fight and survive. We dance to survive. Your dance represents you. So you want to survive. Well fight."
I close my eyes and I hear her walka way. "Again!," she yells and plays the music. I focus on the music only. Then the thought of escaping came to mind. I felt my arms and body moving, not even knowing what I was doing. I pictured myself running down the hall to the exit, punching a security guard, opening the gate and running out of here. I only focused on the music and my escape.
When the music ended, I was on my knees breathing fast and sweat dripping off my face. "That was amazing!," I hear Baby Doll. She lifts me up and hugs me tightly. "That was awesome!," I hear people clap. I look over and see Ms. Niessa smiling. I look over at Zack who was giving me a even bigger smile. I then see Jack and Mr. Gaskarth.
My throat goes dry and I have hard time swallowing. Jack and Mr. Gaskarth were smiling. Jack in a cold, dark way. Like he knew he already had a plan.
"No. It wasn't." "What do you mean!?" "Because of Jack," I mumble to her.

We were in our room now, I was sitting up, leaning against the wall. The others were laying down.
"That was amazing. I have never seen Ms. Niessa smile," Sweet Pea smiles at me.
"So what she smiled, your dance is supposed to be personal to you. Special. My dance is about me and my life here. Whats yours about," Rocket snaps. "Mine is about me escaping form here. To freedom." "No one has ever escaped from here. Remember the last group of girls who tried to escape? They ended up dead." "Then we'll have abetter plan." "I have been here since I was 18. Baby Doll was 17. I have seen people try to escape, and they all ended up dead. You have no chance."
"Can I come with you?," Baby Doll asks. I smile and nod. "Sure." "Can I come to?," Sweet Pea and Blondie ask. I nod to them also. "No Baby Doll," Rocket speaks up. "I can do whatever I want Rocket." "Not without me." "Then join us Rocket." "No! All of you are crazy. This is our life. Your life now Little Maid. "
She lays down and turns away from us.
"I'm joining you Nyssa," Baby Doll mouths and smiles to me. I smile back and we go to bed.
