*Katrina's pov*

I was disturbed from my sleep by the sound of shuffling and a heated argument. I didn't have the energy for this, so instead of paying attention to it. I rolled over and groaned tiredly. I figured it was only Alex and Elizabeth fighting again. With that thought came another one that made the ends of my lips curl slightly. I shouldn't have pushed myself as much as I did yesterday, but I had no other choices.

A loud and harsh sounding smack noise resounded through the safe room. The sound echoeing off the walls. The sound was accompanied by a short small yelp. "We are leaving, and that's the end of it. I dont want to hear another word out of your mouth. If i do, I'll cut both of your guys' tongues out, " an angry voice stated, followed by a grunt of agreement.

That was enough to make my eyes snap open and my body to sit upright. I saw Willow sprawling on the ground, crying and holding an angry red mark that was on her face. Before I could comprehend what was going on, I heard someone swear under their breath. Confused, I turned my attention to the direction of the person who swore under their breath. Only to see the stock of a shotgun swinging towards my face. The impact alone was enough to cause black and white spots to dance across my vision. A loud scream left my lips before I could even comprehend the situation fully. Fighting through the blurry images and shapes in front of me, I tried reaching out for help. Were we been robbed? Attacked? Abushed by military personnel that mistake us for infected?

The action i performed proved to be a mistake as the figure closest to me swung a fist directly into my already bleeding head once again, causing my bottom lip to swell and split open. Blood pouring from the new wound. A pained cry left my lips as I slumped back onto the cot. Having just woke up and the recent impacts on the head made it difficult for me to tilt my head enough to see and brace myself for the next impact. My vision cleared just enough for me to see Alex was the one closest to me.  Hovering close to me, trying to block my view of what's going on. Another two figures held back a very angry Elizabeth and a crying Willow. Both were very distraught as they both tried to warn me about what was going on.

Nothing was making sense anymore. I knew I shouldn't have ignored the bad feelings I had before falling asleep last night. I should have known Alex was planning on doing something horrible. The evil glint in his eyes said it all. The look forever engraved itself into my minds eye as I struggled to get up. Adrenaline surged through my veins once again as i jumped up from my position on the bed. Before I could get far, Alex reached forward and grabbed a fistful of my hair. Yanking my head back as he smirked.

"You should have stayed asleep." He sneered the words through a clenched jaw. "It would have made things a whole lot better, but here we are." I brought my arms up just in time to block my face from another harsh blow. An annoyed growl ripped through me as I glared at the man. My fighting spirit flared up as I went to attack the man holding me in my place. My small frame was easily overpowered by Alex's much larger one.

"LEAVE HER ALONE YOU BASTARD!" bellowed an angry Elizabeth. She started to thrash and scream in the unknown persons arms. She was trying to break free to rescue me. I tore my gaze away from her and Willow only to look into Alex's emotionless eyes. He smirked as he snapped his fingers. Within an instant, both men holding Willow and Elizabeth back pulled out pistols. Pressing them against their skulls, the action was enough to make them both freeze. In that instant, I felt my world begin to shatter.

"Try that again and they will both be killed without a second thought you bitch" Alex growled. Angered by my actions.

What did I do to deserve this? What caused all of this? The thoughts in my head are now running wild. The panic started to set in as I stared. Unaware of the tears now freely falling from my eyes. I couldn't let them get hurt because of me.
