The Truth Is

chapter 5 - The plan

it's 1:24 am.

time to go see beth. alright room 308 she said?

I pass by all the rooms. 304 ,305, 306.. ah! 308!

I open the door quietly so no one else hears me.

"hey, you ready?" she asks me. "as ready as I'll ever be. Where's Noah?" "He should be here in a couple minutes." "Okay."

I smile so hard that I just can't stop smiling. "why are you smiling like that?" beth asks with a laugh. "I just.. ugh!" and i smile even bigger but continue. "I have just missed you so much and when we get out of here we will find our family." She smiles too.

The door opens and we both jump. "It's just me." says a boy. Noah.

I give beth the 'is that him?' look. she nods her head. "okay guys, we have to do this fast, I got the key too." he says.

Noah opens the door and peeks his head out to see if anyone is coming. Nope. No one. Thank god.

We walk down the long corridors. We finally get to the elevator shaft. Noah unlocks it and ties a rope around my waist while I hold a flashlight and go down.

I get all strapped in and he starts to lower me down slowly. I look up the elevator shaft and he gives me the 'it's okay I won't drop you look.' but next thing I knew, I dropped the flashlight and started to fall. He quickly caught me though so I didn't fall totally. just enough to scare the absolute crap out of me!

I finally reach the bottom safely. I untie the rope from around my waist and he pulls it up. Now it's Beth's turn. She gets down safely. Lastly, it's Noah's turn.

Obviously he can't hold the rope and lower himself at the same time so he falls all the way down and lands in a pile of dead patients.

wait. dead patients?! They throw the dead patients down here? but well, where else do they put them?

I grab the flashlight I dropped and we walk through the tunnel. I hear little moans.

Walkers. Not a lot. maybe a dozen.

Beth and I kill them while Noah is limping behind us.

We finally reach outside.

"we did it!" I say. Beth and Noah smile.

Me and Noah walk outside the fence. I turn around to see Beth lying on the ground getting handcuffed.

Great. I can't just leave her there. She's like my sister.

I don't even know what I'm doing. My body is going towards her and I get handcuffed too.

Noah's just watching us while we are getting taken back.
