EYE OF THE BEHOLDER
October 1st, 2010
We were currently being escorted away. The militia had gotten us when we tried to cross the border. My hands were tied up. Madison suddenly fell
"Maddie! Get your hands off of her!" Travis yelled as they forced her back up. Alicia was struggling against them
"We're just looking for my brother" Alicia told them
"Stop fighting, Alicia. Stop" Madison said as we saw corpses on the ground around us. They were everywhere. The gates opened and we were forced in. It was a military base
"Let me talk somebody. Let me talk to someone in charge. Please" Madison begged. Then, they escorted Travis to a different car then us
"Wait, what are you- where are you taking him?!" Madison yelled
"It's okay" Travis said as there was a gun aimed at him
"Travis!" Madison yelled
"It's okay, Maddy" Travis said
"Where are you taking him?! Travis! Travis!" Madison yelled as we were forced into a car. The car began driving with the three of us in it

We were in an office. The door was locked, and we were looking for a way out
"Anything?" Madison asked
"No" Me and Alicia both said
"What about the ceiling?" Alicia asked. I moved a chair, and Madison got on top of it. She pushed the ceiling up and then looked
"You see a room?" Alicia asked
"There's nothing" Madison said as she lowered the ceiling
"We shouldn't have come here" Alicia said
"I'm thinking the same" I said
"We had to" Madison said
"We shouldn't be looking for him. Chasing him. It always blows back on us" Alicia said. Suddenly the door opened. We all turned to see man, probably around my age. He had drinks
"Hi, sorry to keep you, uh, I'm Troy. Uh, please, please sit, ma'am" He told us. We just stared at him. He looked at us
"Tea? Coffee wasn't brewed, so, uh.. Oh, I-I spoke to my man, uh, you shouldn't be handled too roughly" Troy said as he closed the door
"Why were we?" Alicia asked
"Um, you- you came from the border. The border's dangerous. Folks they want our fuel and we had attacks" Troy explained
"Well we weren't attacking, Troy" Madison said
"We still have to process you, ma'am, it's just security protocol" Troy said
