Everyone spun around when the door had opened and most eyes grew angry while I smiled. "Julian." I said and ran to the door, my voice sounded weird and then I realized it was because Sage said the same thing at the same time. He just nodded to her and came over to me. "How do I get you out of here Commander?" He asked and I scrunched up my face in distaste but quickly moved on seeing as we didn't have a whole bunch of time. "Call me Naomi." "The shark Sleigher!" Cheered Ricky and I rolled my eyes before turning back to Julian with a faint smile playing on my lips.

"The keys should be with the guards outside the door, did they just let you in here?" I asked and he shrugged, "We knocked the two men out so you and one person can escape, but they need to be tall because they need to fit the guards clothes. I can't sneak anyone out without suspicion and so they need to look the part, at least until we reach Susan." He said and I frowned, but nodded. "I can't go with you, they specifically know my face and so if I'm noticed missing, it puts us all at risk. I don't like playing with peoples lives but take Ricky and..." I scanned the crowed and frowned when Ricky hadn't budged yet while looking for the other person I'd choose.

"Ricky and Aña, the two of you go and get shelter or Ricky can be a guard but the two of you go." I said and I felt bad seeing all of the eyes that weren't chosen loose hope, it broke my heart. Maybe they would die because of my decision. I really wanted to get Mina and my mom out but Mina was too small and they'd realize my mother was missing if she left as well. I gave Ricky a pleading look and he punched the wall before standing up. "If it wouldn't be ignoring a direct order from you I would stay. You better not die because Jason and I will keep bringing you back and killing you oursleves."

He grumbled before surprisingly pulling me in for a big hug and then left while Aña looked sadly at me and nodded her head in respect. Julian had returned with the keys and the two quickly changed and Julian led them away while Sage tried to start with me. "Must hurt to have to choose your favorites over the rest of your little pack huh?" She said and some kids gasped thinking I had chosen favorites to leave rather than them. "Speaking without a purpose will get you nowhere Sage and seeing as how I now run your so called pack shows who's a better leader by a long shot. I would never choose favorites over the others and for you to insinuate that is annoying."

I got up in her face and the other backed up, pulling my mom back so she wouldn't get into it. "Unlike you and your pathetic attempts to kill me, I will always be and am, a better leader then you are or ever will be. Excuse me for calling you out but I don't quite like you and how you run things especially since your not that much older than me. I get your attitude, I've heard your story but there's no reason to take things out on me for being myself."

She had been slowly backing up and I hadn't realized how mean I was being but I guess it might have actually scared the monstrous girl she had become. "If you wish to fight then by all means let's do it right here and right now, why use weapons? We all know you only won the fight with bamboo because you had your people help you cheat and you took cheap shots at my back while I was down but in the fist fight!" I was in her face up close and personal and I wasn't sure where this side of me was coming from.

"In the fist fight I trashed you and you cheated again to have your people pull me away and not finish you. I have given you no real reason not to like me and if competition scares you I'd hate to say I'm way in the lead so you need to back down already. I'm trying to help get you, them, everyone home and you keep getting in my way! Back down and join us or back off and leave, I am tired of you and your pitty attempts to ruin everyone's lives and keep them on this island. I want to go home and I know darn well they all do so sorry if you don't but were getting off of this island one way or another." I said through gritted teeth and walked away as the door opened again, expecting it to be Julian or Ricky.
