"So they locked him up?" I ask Allison with a frown.

"They kidnapped him. Just when I think they can't be more idiotic they do it." She sighs laying in my bed next to me.

I smile and she sighs. "They really are idiots." I say laying down next to her.

She holds my hand and we look at the ceiling. "You nervous about the baby?" She asks.

I let out a deep breath. "Kinda. But I'm ready." I say putting my hand on my belly.

She turns to her side and so do I still holding hands. "Seven months is a long time." She smiles.

"I know. I can wait." I smile.

"I hope it's a girl." She says looking at my belly.

"Normally people say it's okay as long as it's healthy. But I also kinda hope it's a girl." I say.

"Well, I hope it's a boy." Isaac says drying off his hair and walking out of the bathroom.

We both sit up and Allison gets off the bed. "I'm going to my room. Night." She says kissing my forehead and walks out of the room.

"Bye!" Isaac yells after her before the door closes.

I get out of the bed and he looks at me. "How are you doing?" He asks.

"Well, considering I'm two months pregnant. I'm okay." I sigh taking off my clothes.

He looks at me and I turn to him. "What?" I ask.

"I never noticed your burns." He says.

I look at my arm and go over the scars. "I sometimes forget I have them." I say softly.

He gets up and walks over to me. "You're still beautiful." He smiles.

I smile and kiss him softly. "Put on your pjs." He says.

I put on pyjama's and lay in the bed snuggling up against his chest. "I love you." He whispers.

I look up at him and smile softly. "I love you too." I whisper.

He kisses my forehead and I lay my head down again. Fire runs over the floors and walls. People screaming and a woman looks at me. "Get them out of here. Now, Peter. Run, take Cora and Violet with you." She screams coughing as the smoke intoxicates her lungs eyes flash red and she falls on her knees.

A man picks me and another girl up and grabs a big blanket. He soaks it with water and puts it around us picking us up again. I watch as the woman looks at me again and smiles.

"Be brave, my girls. Love what you have and be greatfull. Allow yourselves to feel and be happy. Find a new family that loves you and cares for you." She says pressing her lips on our heads.

She looks at the man and he runs up the burning stairs screaming as his body burns. He runs out of the flames and we fall on the ground.

"Mom!" I scream jumping up.

"Take the standing one. She's human." A woman demands and I get lifted up and knocked out.

I shoot up screaming and kicking around the bed. My door opens and mom runs in. "Alice! It's okay!" She yells over my screams grabbing my wrists.

I calm down and stop screaming but start crying. "Everything okay?" Dad asks running in.

Mom nods looking at him while I cry in her arms. "She's okay." She says softly.

I fall asleep again in moms arms. The next day mom takes me to school as I'm to tired to drive my bike.

"I'll see you after school. But I have stuff to do after so you'll have to wait in the office." She says as we get out.
