"WHAT THE HELL, JOSH?" Kat screams, staring at him in disbelief. How could this've happened?
"I-I'm sorry, Kat," Josh says, starting to cry, "I-I had to do this." He tightens his grip on Rou, who winces in pain.
"Now, now, now," Damian says, grabbing Chris's wrists, and dragging him over to Kat. He lets go of Chris, and puts Freya's collar around Kat.
"Oh, don't you look pretty?" Damian says.
"Go to hell," Kat snarls at Damian. Before he can reply, Chris slams Damian against the machine that Kat is wired up to, and he rips the cannula from Kat's arm. She rips all the wires off her, and disconnects the leaking bag from her feeding tube before running, not towards the castle doors, but towards Rou and her friends in order to help them. But Damian catches her before she can reach them, and chucks her and Chris into the cage that Kat first landed in when she had arrived at the castle all those weeks ago.
"Throw the rest of them in there," Damian commands the others. Rob, Rory and Debby are thrown in, but just as Josh is about to throw Rou in, Mitchell stops him.
"I think it's time to delve into this ugly mug's mind and see what tortured secrets it holds."
"ROU, RUN!" Rory screams, and Rou does just that, but Mitchell grabs Rou into a headlock, Kerry pins Rou's arms behind his back, and Katherine grabs Rou's legs as they carry him over and drop him harshly into the dentist chair that Kat had previously been wired up to. Katherine rips Rou's shirt open, and goes to stick the sticky pads that are connected to the machine on his chest near his heart, but Damian stops her.
"We're concentrating on his mind, not his heart," he whispers to her, taking the sticky pads from her hands and sticking them around Rou's head, moving his messy hair out of the way.
"Don't you see, Princess?" Mitchell calls over to Kat as she stares at him through the bars of the cage, her heart pounding furiously as she watches the scene unfold in front of her.
"See what?" She argues back to Mitchell. He turns a dial, causing Rou to scream in pain. Kat's heart breaks a little as she hears him screaming in pain.
"STOP IT, YOU BASTARD! YOU'RE KILLING HIM!" Rob shouts.
"This is what happens when you love people, Princess," Mitchell says, ignoring Rob's shouting by turing the same dial up to the maximum level, "they get hurt."
"Kat," Josh says, coming over to the cage. Kat ignores him, and starts to think of a way out of the cage.
"Kat, please, listen to me!"
"Why should she, Josh?" Debby snaps, cradling something in her arms.
"What are you cradling?" Josh asks Debby.
"None of your business. Kat, don-"
It's only then that a lightbulb switches on in Kat's head.
"You're jealous of me, aren't you, Josh? You're jealous and heartbroken that I've moved on with someone new."
"I-I'm sorry," Josh sobs. "I never meant for anyone to get hurt. H-he manipulated me. He told me he'd sort everything out if I handed you guys over. Mitchell said I'd be able to win you back."
"Mitchell obviously believes that he's a matchmaker, huh?" Kat says. "Hmmm, I- why is it quiet?"
Everyone looks over at Rou, who's sitting very still in the chair, his shoulders moving up and down being the only indication that he's alive.
"I don't believe it," Rory breathes, "he's bloody meditating."
"You've got to be kidding me," Chris laughs.
"Only Rou would end up meditating whilst being hooked up to a bunch of wires," Rob laughs, whilst wiping away his tears. Mitchell, Kerry, Damian and Katherine all look shocked as they're unsure of what to do.
"Kat," Debby hisses at Kat whilst all attention is on Rou, "come over here." Kat quickly walks over to Debby, who reveals what she was cradling whilst Kat was talking to Josh earlier.
It's a white cat with grey fur thrown into the mix, along with bright green eyes and a little pink nose.
"Freya," Kat gasps. Freya runs out of Debby's arms and crawls over and curls up in Kat's lap.
"We found her by the castle. She didn't seem hurt, but her collar was missing. She was very glad to see us," Debby explains to Kat.
"I've got an idea. Oi, you guys," Kat says to Rob, Rory and Chris, "come over here." They all form a little circle, and Kat explains her plan.
"Right, so Chris, Rob and Rory, you guys will cause a disruption so that me, Debby and Freya can reach Rou and get him out of that damn chair. Got that?"
Everyone nods in agreement.
"Let's do this," Debby says.

A few hours later, Damian, Katherine, Kerry and Josh leave the main hall to the rest of the castle.
"Now," Kat whispers, and the plan is put into action.
"Oi, you!" Rob yells, throwing a rock he found on the floor at Mitchell, who's about to interrupt Rou's meditation. The rock hits the base of the machine with lots of dials and switches on it.
"Huh, you missed," Mitchell scoffs, walking towards the door. As he unlocks it, Kat and Debby run out. Freya follows them, but not before biting Mitchell's shoelace, causing it to come undone. Rob, Rory, and Chris run out shoving Mitchell in the cage.
"Rou, look at me," Kat whispers as Debby peals off the sticky pads on Rou's forehead.
"Hmm, Kat. You're killing my zen like cleansed aura," Rou grumbles, but he grins at her, so Kat knows he's joking.
"Come on, mate," Chris says to Rou, "let's get out of here."
"Ah, not so fast now, Chris, my dear boy," says a voice from behind them.
"Shit. We forgot to lock the door, didn't we?" Rory says as they all slowly turn around to see Mitchell with a triumphant smirk on his face.
"Oh, indeed you did. And now you're going to pay the price. I'm sending you to a place that holds your darkest fears. Have fun trying to find a way out this time."
Kat gasps as she's jerked back through what feels like an extremely tight space with her friends clinging onto one another. When they emerge, they're in a large room with bright colours and the strong smell of disinfectant.
"Where the heck are we?" Debby asks anxiously.
"I-I know where we are," Kat stutters.
"Where are we then?" Rob asks her. Everyone looks at Kat, determined for an answer.
"We're in my childhood hospital."
