"Ha ha. No. We're all going. Who knows if she is held hostage by psycho girl ninjas hiding in that shack of hers, who are waiting for us to come so that they can throw their ninja-star blades on us. Or slice us in a clean half from our waist in one...

ADELAIDE
"Ally, is that you?"
I whirl around at the boy's voice that echoes around me, my eyes not landing on a single figure in the broken down structure that I am in. Seemingly, empty and deserted, I had thought that it would be best compensation for a bathroom.
I recognize the voice but I can't pinpoint it.
"Hello?" I look around as my fingers brush against Chuck's bracelet in nervousness. I am actually quite a distance away from the boys and if I holler for them, I might risk more danger for me and them.
"Kevin?" I shakily call out, "That's you?"
"No, no, Ally, it's me." The vice comes out more frantic and like a little switch, everything gets clicked. "It's me, Stan."
"Stan!" I breath in disbelief. "Where are you? Wh-Why can't I see you?"
"Ally! Help me!" Stan screams louder, his voice getting caught in his throat.
Panic swells in my chest as I rush blindly around, crying for the boy.
"Stan! Where are you?"
Frustrated tears fall down my eyes. I can hear the boy, but I can't see him.
Where is he? Who is hurting him? Why can't I see him?
"Why aren't you helping me, Ally?"
"I-I can't find you! Where are you?"
"Help me, Ally! Why aren't you helping me?"
I squeeze my eyes shut, a frustrated grunt escaping my lips. My heart hammering wildly against my chest, I feel my head pounding.
"Snap out of it, Addie!"
"No! He's dead. Stan is dead. I-I saw him die."
"Addie! Hey, Addie!"
I open my eyes. I see Newt close to my face, worry overcoming his features. His eyes darts up and down in panic.
I lick my dry lips and sit up straight from the ground, from where I had fallen asleep. I look around and see that the night had already fallen.
"Where are the others?" I ask.
"Gone to search for something to eat."
"I didn't realize I would fall asleep." I blink the disorientation out of my eyes.
