              I'm cold, weak, and probably smelling somethin fierce cause Fire
keeps scrunching his nose in disgust. I have to run to keep up with Fire especially with his long lean legs. He's constantly on his computer/laptop(?) randomly
  typing in any codes, passwords, hacking into stuff and I guess what teenage guys do this time of year, well I wouldn't really know much cause I barely go to school but when I do it'll be only 1-2 days a week or a month.

I'm mainly locked up away in my room reading books, drawing, also trying to hack into my adoptive mothers safe, I was so close last time I tried except she came in and snatched it away from me and slapped me across the face with her 1000 something dollar ring,(OUCH) I can still feel the pain. One time she slapped me so hard that her diamond wedding ring scratched me near my eye I think I still have a scar but I wouldn't know .
My adopted parents would never let me see myself in the mirror,they told me that if I ever did I'd probably seeing someone I would never forgive or whatever that means. My hands come towards my face and lands on my scar from the ring I then hear Fire call me out of the blue with that unknown name, he must be mistaking me for another cause that's not my name but I go with it cause I don't know why but I don't to make him mad for some strange reason. "Yeah,you summoned me?" I try to sound sarcastic even though he did call me but not me whatever and I did mean that just not ok yeah.  "It's going to take us another like 60/90 blocks or so, so we'll probably camp out here a-," "Or Fire we just camp in one of those abandoned houses on the next block cause there's no freakin way I'm staying here." He doesn't look down at me to reply just maybe calculating, I take my military bag and leave without him although I did an experiment it was: jump up while in the air kick him in the back.............(Progress?) NOTHING! Yep, I just walk away. "Smush, smash,smush." I hear behind me someone following me but I'm not alert cause I know it's Fire realizes I'm leaving him. As I'm walking I step on this very weak and deep snow but then I realize to myself that I'm in an immune trap(I think?) cause there are real beeping lights surrounding the abandoned streets an alleys. 
         
  Fire I think is freaking out or is calm I can't really tell with him despite that I just met him like about 2/3 hours ago. "Hey Alma I'll get you out of there okay! First I need to find a rope. Do you have rope in your bag?" I kinda get mad at the time when he calls me by someone's else's name but I don't say anything.
"No! But I have a scarf."
"Is it long enough?"
"Oh gosh I don't know!"
"Throw it to me and FAST!" I wrap it into what looks like a ball and throw it to him (he catches it as if  he were a football player)(highly doubt it.)
"Okay, yeah it's long enough! Climb on! Hurry there coming any second now!" I feel so overwhelmed with myself but I keep telling myself," You can do the impossible' but then I hear this other part of me negative it's like screaming something at me yet I can't hear it. I grab my scarf and start climbing like spider-man would've climbed the skyscraper. I'm out and free, Fire yanks my hand towards him carries me on his back and runs. "BOOM!" We've been bombed they know we're here but when I turn my head just a bit I see and," They're not IMMUNES." Fire looks behind his shoulder to see what I was talking bout.

         We don't know who they cause they're clearly not immune so,
                                              "WHO ARE THEY?"
