An army of masked men stood before her, their guns ready to fire. She felt all of the blood leave her face and her heart pounding wildly against her rib cage. She wanted to scream; never had she been so frightened. She wanted to warn Krystal that she shouldn't come here. She wanted to go back in time, back to when there was no ISC. Tears dripped down her face and her vision blurred. Her life was now over, there would be no point in living. Suddenly, the man closest to her yanked her hands together and handcuffed her. Another man blindfolded her and tied a rag across her mouth. She felt the cold muzzle of the gun touch her back, between her shoulder blades. She felt herself being dragged towards an unknown location. All of a sudden, the air surrounding her changed. It was much colder and cleaner than the musty scent from the forest. 

"JESSICA!" A scream echoed through the forest. "JESSICA! JESSICA!" 

She tried to scream through the rag stuffed into her mouth. Krystal should not come here. A guard tightened his grip on her. "KRYSTAL!" she screamed, freeing her mouth of the filthy rag. "KRYSTAL DON'T COME, IT'S NOT SAFE, DON'T C-"

The sound of a bullet being fired and her sister screaming her name echoed in Jessica's ears as she slumped to the ground, blood oozing from a bullet hole in her chest.
