A/N:
First of all, I'm really sorry for not updating. I pretty much update my whole past parts on my winter break. So, of course, I'm busy. I apologize in advanced for not updating every week in the future.He's here. President Odair. In this room. I felt his smile behind me. I turn around.
"Ms. Evelyn. A pleasure." He says, smirking.
Jason comes and wraps his arms around me. "What do you want from us?"
President Odair laughs. "You and that other girl mean nothing to me. I just-"
"What did you do with her!!??!!!" I yell.
"That doesn't matter. I just took her to her room, like I'm going to do with you guys."
Tons of security gourds come running out and grab us from behind. They do that it with so much force I lose every ounce of energy I thought I had. I slump to the ground.

"Evelyn. Evelyn, please. You have to wake up." I hear Jason's voice.
I rise and look at my surroundings. The room is luxurious. He probably wanted us to be in comfort, as if that helps at all with the situation we're in. Their are two queen beds (I assume President Odair wants me and Jason to sleep together for some reason) and two doors on the opposite side of the room, which I assume leads to a closet and a bathroom.
"You need to go take a shower and get dressed. We have to go eat breakfast with President Odair." He says, sighing.
"Ok." I reply. "Which door is the bathroom?"
"The one closet to our bed." He says, pointing to the door that must lead to the bathroom. "I'll be waiting out here. There are clothes in the closet."
So I take a shower, dry off, and head outside to the closet only to find someone has already laid an outfit out for me. It's very fancy, something my family could never afford. I shows to much skin then I like, and is covered in sequins. Jason knows I hate this; so does Audrey; so President Odair must have laid it out. Jason and Audrey are in the closet when I go to put the outfit away.
"I'm guessing he laid that out for you?" Jason asks.
"Yup. I need to pick something out myself." I reply.
I go to my side of the closet. Most of the stuff is very fancy, which is what I don't want. I don't want to look like I live here and I can tell that neither Jason nor Audrey wants to either. I go with a light pink tank top, regular jean shorts, and light pink converse. I add silver star earrings and put my hair up in a braided crown. Perfect. President Odair will be petrified.
Jason is wearing jeans and a regular black shirtsleeve shirt. There's really nothing else unless you add his shoes, which are black converse. Audrey is wearing something a little fancier, considering her father is the governor of Minnesota. She's wearing a light blue dress that cuts off just above her knees. It has a bow around her waist, but that's pretty must all the fancy she has. She's wearing her hair down, and for shoes has on white flats.
"Are we ready?" Jason asks, looking at me and Audrey.
"Ready." We both say together.
***
We walk in and everyone stares at our clothes. Perfect. As we sit down Odair walks in and stops to stare at us. I smirk. Petrified, just as I said.
"Wha-what happened to that dress I laid out for you, Ms. Evelyn?" He stutters.
"I don't care for such idiotic apparel." I reply. Jason laughs softly.
"Very well then. I guess growing up with such a family as yours. Your poor father died early, did he not? And your mother was very terrible and sometimes wasn't able to feed you, right, am I?" He says, smiling.
I immediately push myself out of my chair and run to President Odair, my hands outstretched. I push his chair to the ground and pin him down. Already there are security, trying to tear me away. I punch them, and see them, fly all the way across the room. One even breaks the concrete wall. Concrete wall.
"You....you just broke a concrete wall..." President Odair tries to get out.
"Never speak. Of my family. Like that. Again." I pant, gritting my teeth.
A security guard pulls me off of Odair and pushes me to my room. I only have enough time to look back to see Jason and Audrey looking at me in disbelief.

"Evelyn. Evelyn. How...how did you do that?" Jason asks in astonishment once he gets back to the room.
"What he said." Audrey says. "Remind me never to get on your nerves."
"I've been trying to figure it out myself. It doesn't make any sense." I reply to both of them. "Do you think it has anything to do with me being The Revolution?" I ask, looking at Jason.
"Maybe. I haven't ever heard of someone doing that before." He says, looking nervous.
"Why...why do you look so nervous?" I ask, feeling nervous myself now.
"I don't know. I feel as if there is something we don't know that they do. When we were eating breakfast after you left, Odair looked like he...achieved something. We need to look out, and find a way to get out of here." He says.
***
I wake up in the middle of the night after a bad nightmare. Odair had threatened to kill me unless I told him what the hell I did during breakfast. I am almost to the bathroom to wash my face when I hear a voice outside of the room.
"-ushed him into a concrete wall. It even broke. I've found her point. Her family is important to her. The Revolution always has some sort of power. Hers is strength." I recognize the voice as President Odairs. Who is he talking to?
"We can't have her find out her mom and sister are here. If she finds out, she will be a huge threat to us." I'm too shocked to recognize the voice in any way. My sister. My mom. There alive and here. I run to our bed and shake Jason awake. He sits up and looks shocked.
"What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare? What-" I interrupt him to tell him the news.
"My sister and mom. They're here."
