Isabelle followed Jade down a path. She bit her lip nervously, what was happening? If she said she was scared it would be an understatement, Isabelle was absolutely terrified.

After a few minutes of walking they came to a small cabin nestled hidden in trees. Jade opened the door and beckoned Izzy in. Izzy went in and heard the door close behind her. Jade swept past Izzy and flipped on a light switch.

The room was small, with only a couch and a small TV. Izzy noticed a door on the back wall, which either led to a bathroom or a bedroom. There was another door on the left wall, which led to one of the two also.

"Take a seat." Jade sat down on the couch and motioned to the seat next to her. Izzy eyes her warily, but she decided it was best to obey her. "Now, missy. John tells me that you are suffering from some amnesia. Is that correct?"

"Um..." Isabelle stuttered. "N.nno ma'am. I mean, y..yes ma'am I mean...maybe." she looked at her uncertainly. Jade's smile didn't reach her eyes.

"Well, what is your name?" Isabelle looked at her defiantly.

"I told you, my name is Jessica." Again, Jade's smile didn't reach her eyes.

"You and I both know that your name is not Jessica," she said. "I suggest you tell me what your name is, before I have to force it out of you." Izzy narrowed her eyes.

"I don't know what impression you're under," Izzy said coldly. "But I think that I should know my own name better than you." She raised her eyebrows. "So, If you don't mind, I'm going to go now." She got up and walked swiftly over to the door. She didn't look back at Jade as she closed the door behind her.

Izzy hadn't been told where to go; so she wasn't sure what she was supposed to do. he wandered around aimlessly, looking for someone she knew. Eventually she ran into- literally ran into, Nikolai.

"Oh, I'm sorry," he said as he held his hand out to help her get up. Suddenly his expression became shocked. "Izzy?" His eyes lit up with joy. "Oh my gosh! Izzy! You're alright!" He pulled her up and hugged her tightly.

"Nikolai!" Izzy exclaimed. "I need some help; I don't know where to go."

"Hmm," he considered. "We have en empty bed in our bunkhouse. Come on." He took her hand and led her through a small village type of thing. Every few feet there were long, one story buildings. There was a cobblestone path leading down the middle, and dirt paths going to the buildings.

"Here we are." Nikolai stopped at one of the end buildings. The first thing Izzy noticed was that Josey was running toward them.

"Niko, where were you? We were all worried sick." When Josey caught sight of Isabelle she gave her a hug. "Are you going to be staying here too Izzy?"

"I think so," Isabelle replied. "I just know that no one told me where to go, and Nikolai offered for me to stay here."

"Come on then." The fourteen year old took hold of Izzy's hand and lead her into the building. When Izzy walked in she saw four sets of bunk beds, eight beds in all.

"This one will be yours." Josey gestured to one of the bottom bunks. Izzy noticed that there was someone sitting on each of the other beds.

There were two other girls in there, they looked very similar with their long dark brown hair and tan skin. Their eyes were bright blue; Isabelle would have bet anything that they normally showed sparks of happiness. There were four boys in the room, counting Nikolai, and none of them looked the same. All of them varied in age too.

The youngest of the boys looked young, he might have even been a first year. He had shaggy dirty blonde hair and deep brown eyes. The next boy, on the bunk above him, had the same mysterious eyes, but his hair was jet black. Nikolai came walking in the door and drew Isabelle's attention to him. He had dark brown hair and calm, clear blue eyes. The other boy had dark red hair similiar to Lily's. If Isabelle didn't know any better she would've guessed him to be a Weasley.

"Hello." Izzy's word broke the silence in the room, and sixteen eyes were now trained on her face. "My name is Isabelle, but call me Jessica around them." She gestured outside when she said it, so they knew who she was talking about.

"Hi," one of the girls said shyly. "My name is Anna, and this is my twin sister' Lissa." The other girl, Lissa, nodded in agreement.

"I'm Jake," the black haired boy said. "And I'm Nate," the blonde one said. The last boy introduced himself as, "Andrew." But he told them to call him Andy.

"How old are you all?" Josey asked curiously.

"We're thirteen," Anna said. Jake and Andy were both fifteen, and Izzy's suspicions were confirmed when Nate told her he was eleven.

"Lissa and I are Hufflepuffs," Anna piped up.

"I'm a Ravenclaw," Andy said. Of course, Nate hadn't been sorted yet. Jake hesitated a moment before saying, "I'm in Slytherin."

"The three of us were Gryffindors," Izzy told them. "But it doesn't matter; no house grudges apply now. We have to be united in order to escape. Without banding together; we have no hope of getting out of here."
