As soon as I could see Scott, I ran to him, who grabbed onto me almost like a father does. He held me close. His blue eyes were filled with relief. He whispered: "You okay?

I nodded then the four of us headed to the Skyliner. Kirstin just remained slight as we entered the vehicle. Mitch helped Kirstin first, then me. His brown eyes matched Scott's. He kept his hand on my arm after I was in the vehicle. I didn't mind it because I missed him when he left to catch up with the others. I sat beside Kirstin and allowed Mitch to sit with Scott. I leaned against Kirstin on the way there.

Kirstin: Kailyn, how are you doing?

I hesitated because I didn't want to tell them that I was finding it hard to breathe. I forced my voice to be straight as I responded to Kirstin's concerned question.

Me: Alright so far.

I leaned into her more then sat up as I saw The Tower of Terror. We got out and I attempted to take a deep breath. Luckily the Trio was unaware of the fact that I was struggling to breathe. We quickly arrived at the location of the Rockin' Roller Coaster. I took the lead and led them to the room. Mitch handed me the remote instantly as I gave him the cue. I found my bearings, before pressing play and the screen began to play the presentation. It wasn't long before Kirstin grabbed a hold of my arm and started crying. Scott placed his arm on my back and I jumped slightly. I forced my breath to be steady, but I think I was not doing a very good job because he leaned down to whisper: "Kailyn, why are you out of breath?"

As the words left his mouth, I suddenly found it extremely hard to breathe. It's getting worse! I screamed silently. Then I started gasping again. Kirstin was so drawn to the special presentation that she didn't notice that anything was wrong. Scott and Mitch were both aware of my struggles. Suddenly I fell backward and luckily Scott caught me and helped me to lay down. Now Kirstin noticed that something was terribly wrong. Her brown eyes clouded with concern.

Scott: Kailyn! Are you okay?

I didn't answer, due to the fact that I didn't have the breath for it. All I did was smile slightly as I continued to gasp for air. Kirstin fell to her knees beside me. Her worried brown eyes scanned my body and then she looked at Scott.

Kirstin: Is she okay?

Scott just looked at me then he sighed with sadness as my eyes shifted from member to member, smiling at each of them. Kirstin gasped as she recognized what I was doing. I was saying my goodbyes silently. Tears began to stream down her face as she grabbed my arm.

Kirstin: Kailyn! Stay with me please. Don't leave me. I love you.

My eyes closed as my breathing became more shallow.

Scott: Stay with me, Kailyn! Someone call 911!.

Kirstin held onto my arm as she just cried. Mitch crouched beside Kirstin and put his arms around her. Kevin called 911 as Scott held me close as I finally lost consciousness.

Scott: No! Kailyn come on wake up. Please.

When he received no response his eyes filled with tears as my body went limp. The room went silent as Pentatonix waited for the ambulance to arrive. There was silence apart from the soft playing of music from the presentation. I suddenly awoke, gasping for air.

Scott: Kailyn, are you okay?

I just nodded, unable to speak or have the breath to speak. Kirstin looked up and threw her arms around me. Her body was shaking with joy and relief. I was able to breathe now. My voice regained its original strength.

Me: I love you, Kirstie.

She was silent but continued to hold me close. Scott called off the ambulance. It wasn't needed anymore.

About thirty minutes later, we arrived back at EPCOT. When Malone saw us she ran up to us and grabbed onto me.

Malone: What happened?

Scott: She lost consciousness for a short time, but she's doing okay now.

Kirstin's brown eyes stared ahead and were unfocused. Another look of sheer terror passed over her face. I noticed and tapped Scott who ignored me and kept talking to Malone. Then his blue eyes shifted to Kirstin, who had now grabbed Mitch's arm and pulled him closer to her. Scott's blue eyes were confused as he touched her shoulder.

Scott: Kirstin? What's the matter?

I then shrunk back behind Scott who was increasingly confused. Then his fists clenched as he spotted what was the matter: Jessica.

Scott: Kailyn, get behind Mitch. Kirstin you too.

Mitch: Scott, what are you doing?

Scott: Mitch, it's time to settle the score. It's time she paid for what she's done.

Mitch: No, Scott. Please. You might get killed.

Scott seemed to relax but then he clenched his fists again as he saw Jessica walking toward us. His blue eyes glittered with anger. I then looked around at our location for a few heartbeats and noticed that we could run to the monorail without any complications. I moved closer to Kirstin and whispered: "Follow me" She simply nodded, then I began to run to the monorail station. There wasn't a monorail at the station so I stumbled to get my walkie-talkie to radio Jonathan.

Me: Jonathan! Do you copy?

Jonathan: Yeah, I copy. What do you need?

Me: A monorail!

Before he had any time to respond to my request a stinging pain exploded in my shoulder and immediately I fell unconscious. Kirstin caught up to me and when she saw that I was not moving apart from the gentle rise and fall of my chest, she fell to her knees beside me. She gently shook me.

Kirstin: Kailyn! Get up. Please.

When she didn't receive a response, her brown eyes filled with tears. She bowed her head and whispered: "Don't go, please."

When she looked up again, she saw that there was a dart lodged in my shoulder. She gasped with shock and confusion.

Kirstin: Scott!

Within moments Scott was at my side. His blue eyes filled with grief.

Scott: Mitch, call 911!

Mitch nodded before pulling out his phone and dialing 911. After Mitch got off the phone he came to kneel beside me.

Mitch: Who would do something like this? And to someone who didn't do anything to deserve it.

Scott's blue eyes blazed with cold fire as he turned to Mitch. His voice was filled with anger as he answered Mitch's question.

Scott: I know who. You should too, Mitch. Jessica must pay. This has gone too far.

Kirstin shuddered beside Scott, causing him to soften and pull her into him. Her body was shaking with fear and concern. Scott looked up at Mitch, his blue eyes filled with concern and utter fear.

Scott: Mitch, I don't know if Kirstin can make it. She's already getting worse.

Kirstin had buried her head in Scott as another tremor swept through her body. It wasn't long before the ambulance arrived.
