Night time, at a party, possibly a birthday. I know it was Kristy's house, even though I only even saw her like once. It also looked completely different, and had a massive pool in the garden. But it was hers. A lot of people from our yr12 class were there, including the group I didn't really move around with, plus some people I didn't recognise. I talked to someone, I can't remember who, I just remember that they said something important, a warning.
Just down and to the left of the large, grassy slope that came down from the side of the pool away from the house, there was a massive square building made of red brick with staircases leading up around the outside. It was a four-storey prison and the only way to move from floor to floor was the outer stairs. Somehow I knew that only the cell doors were locked, none of the others, but I couldn't hear any sounds from it.
Somehow the party migrated to be next to it. It turned out that the prison was built level with the ground at the bottom of the hill, and part of the hill had been dug away to make room for it. A retaining wall about four metres from the prisons wall and about two and a half storeys high made a sort of artificial cliff, at one end of which were picnic tables we were all hanging around.
I kept trying to go explore but every time I did Eelesie popped up and distracted me. At this point it was around sunrise. I finally left, and somehow there was a girl there. She was someone important, I got the vibe of royal family, so I just thought of her as a princess. She looked like the parasol girl. She was a prisoner, but she was outside on the stair with me [There were no fences, gates or guards]. She was already out of her cell, but for some reason she needed me to go find her key so she could escape.
I went into some large room full of old rusty metal things and found her key quickly in a box of old screws. I looked at it and turned it invisible, then put it in my front leg pocket with my flash drive. At that moment Eelesie and someone else came in and noticed that there was a spanner and a roll of duct tape missing from the room. For some reason it was really important that we find them and put them back, or else something bad would happen. We didn't find them.
After that, I went to find the princess again and found her on a set of bamboo swings right on the edge of the cliff that I hadn't noticed before. I sat on the spare one and we talked. I refused to give her the key. She considered throwing herself off the cliff, which made me very sad. Just then I heard a sound and looked towards the picnic tables, and Eelesie was yelling something at me that had something to do with the bad thing that was going to happen, but I couldn't hear him.
Then I turned round and the princess was gone, and some white station wagon was driving away, and I knew she was in it. Then someone, detectives maybe, turned up and accused me of helping her escape. I showed them that I had the key on me, and for some reason the fact that I still and it meant that I hadn't helped her. It was light out, like early morning. Then I woke up.¬
