The Hero-
Runaway?... to where? there's no where to go.
I don't know where I'm going from here, but I promise you it won't be boring.
"Piss off rat man"
"And if they get hurt, I'll kill whoever did it myself"

I made it to the top to see her looking out at the view "Hey, you okay? What are you doing up here?" I say and she glances at me "Just thinking." She says "Alright, I'll let you be alone." I start to walk away when she asks me "Do you remember your mother?" I turn around "Uh yeah just some bits and pieces" I answer her She turned to face me "I remember mine. She was a beautiful woman. Everybody loved her. And before Wicked, she was all I had. When she got sick, I didn't know what to do. I just kept her locked up. Hidden. I thought she'd get better." Tears started to flood her eyes "Every night, she'd make these awful sounds, like screaming. And then one night, she just stopped. She was finally quiet. I went down to her room. And there was blood everywhere. But she was just sat there, calm. She said she was feeling better. The visions were gone. She'd taken care of them. She took her eyes out, Rey." She said as a few tears slip through my eyes widen and tears filled in my eyes. I feel horrible that she had to go through that alone.
"There are millions of people suffering out there. Millions of stories, just like mine. We can't turn our backs on them. I won't." Teresa said "What are you saying?" I ask confused "I'm saying I want you to understand." "Understand what?" I ask again "Why I did it." I looked in the distance to see lights getting closer and closer. Then I realized what it was... I could hear the sound of the helicopter... It was Wicked.. She called wicked...
"Teresa." I say with tears in my eyes again She betrayed me...
"Please don't fight them, Rey." "What have you done?" I say I started to back away I look at my best friend. My sister. Tears flooding my eyes "What have you done?" I say again before sprinting down the cliff As I made it down bombs were already going off all over the place. I looked around for Thomas or anyone at this point in a panic I stopped at the tent Brenda was supposed to be in But it was on fire
"Brenda!" I scream about to run in to get her before someone put there hand on my shoulder I turn ready to punch the person, but it was Brenda. "You dumbass." She said as she grabs my hand pulling me to where Jorge and her were hiding.
"Are you trying to get yourself killed?" Brenda asked me I watched all the people run. Some getting shot. When my eyes landed on Thomas. He was with everyone, but wicked shot something making them all fall to the ground shaking. "No" i mumble "We have to go. Now, while we still have the chance." Jorge says "I gotta get the others." I told him as I watched them all get dragged away. "Shit." I mumble
I sat down trying to think of a way to save them "I'm sorry. There's nothing you could do for them. If we don't move now, we won't be much better off." Jorge said quietly "You guys gotta go right now." I told them "What?" Brenda looked at me "They're not looking for you. You'll be safe, but you have to go now." I tell them "Reyna" Brenda said looking at me with sad eyes "I can't leave without them. Without him." I said Brenda and Jorge looked at me "Good luck, kid. Bren, we have to go. Come on. Come on." Jorge pulling her away as she kept eye contact she was hesitant, but ended up leaving with him
