Section Break 6
- Gemma wakes up in the bed again, this time with her legs tied to the bedposts.
- Ty is staring out the window. She notices his face is bruised and assumes that she probably did it in her attack.
- Ty tells her not to freak out and try to hurt herself again. Gemma demands to know where she is, but all he says is that she'll eventually find out.
- He offers her food and water and promises that he isn't going to do anything to her.
Section Break 7
- For the next two days, Gemma stays tied to the bed. Ty comes in every once in a while and asks her if she wants a shower, food, or water, but she refuses every single time.
- Finally, he asks if she would like to go outside. Gemma tells him she'll only go if he'll take her somewhere populated, but Ty says there are no towns anywhere nearby.
- He manages to break her down, though, and she agrees to go out—mainly because she doesn't believe him when he says there's nothing nearby.
- Outside, he shows her a towering pile of cracked boulders with vegetation sprouting from them. He calls them the Separates because they're cut off from the rest of the property; Gemma notices what looks like a pathway between them.
- Ty tells her that he found this place once when he was a child and stayed here for two weeks living off the rocks, which gave him dreams and water.
- He tells Gemma that she belongs there because, like the rocks, she's beautiful and natural and separate. Also, he wanted company. And he plans to keep her there forever.
Section Break 8
- Ty takes Gemma to the porch that leads into the house; here, he has a bunch of kerosene lanterns stockpiled, as well as a generator that runs the whole place. Gemma considers attacking Ty with one of the lanterns, but he can somehow read her thoughts and tells her it won't work.
- He takes her back to her bedroom, where he shows her that he's bought her clothes. Everything is the same beige color, but the sizes are right. He even tells her he has dresses for her in her favorite color, green.
- Gemma discovers a room with games and books in it. All of the games are ones she remembers playing with her family, and the books are all titles she has studied in school. She also notices a book of Aboriginal languages on the shelf and puts it together that she's in Australia.
- Ty tells her that they are so in the middle of nowhere that the place isn't even on the map. He also tells her that nobody saw them at any point on their journey and he made sure she wouldn't remember. He even drove out here with her in the trunk and put a wig and different clothes on her in the airport.
- Memories begin to come back to Gemma of changing her clothes and being so stupid on drugs that she wanted to kiss Ty. Suddenly, she flies into a rage and tells him she hates him.
- Seems pretty reasonable.
Section Break 9
- Gemma can't sleep and begins to plot to throw a lantern at the door the next time Ty comes in. Still, getting him out of the way doesn't solve the problem of being in the middle of nowhere and totally isolated.
- She tries to make herself go to sleep by thinking about her friends Anna and Ben back home, as well as her parents, but all of her thoughts continue to return to Ty and what he's done to her.
- When she finally does go to sleep, she dreams she's back home watching her parents and Anna talk to the police and reporters about her disappearance. Trying to get their attention, she screams, only to get sucked away from the dream and wake up in her room at Ty's.
- The next thing she knows, Ty is holding her and comforting her and telling her he'll never let go. That's a little too Titanic for us, Ty.
Section Break 10
- Gemma wakes up and has to pee. Afterward, she decides to wander around the house looking for a way to communicate with the outside world. You know, like a tin can telephone or that walkie-talkie thing from the first season of Lost.
- In the living room, Gemma finds a knife in a drawer and takes it. In the kitchen, she finds a locked drawer and then uses the knife to pry open a cabinet full of food. Ty walks in and catches her.
- He tells her that they have plenty of food, and that the outbuilding outside has plenty more. Eventually, though, she'll acclimate to her new environment and they can go hunt for food. He even plans to catch a camel, which sounds weird, but whatever.
- Ty tells Gemma that the drawer is locked to keep her from hurting herself again and that lunch will be ready soon.
