I wake up, my breath caught in my throat. I can't breath. "She's breathing again!" a women who stands over me yells. Then it all goes black again. When I wake up two people standing by my bedside. Theres a breathing mask on my face, both adults quickly turn to me. "Hello. It's nice to see your eyes." the women says with a smile. My head is spinning I'm so confused. "I'm Dr. Anne, and this is Tom." she says pointing to the man who has a riffle strapped to his back and a smile on his face. "We're part of the 2nd mass." I start panicking inside "Where's my sister?" I mumble through my tight throat. The words sound muffled through my mask. They both look at their feet and it's Tom who speaks up first. "When my sons found you where unconscious. You looked as if you'd been beaten. You where alone. I can't believe my sons found you before the skitters did." I stare at him. Beaten, and alone. Lisa wasn't with me. I was alone. My throat tightens again, but I refuse to cry. Not in front of people I don't know. "what's your name?" Anne asks quietly. I lightly compose my self and pull the mask off my face as I speak. "My name is Elizabeth knight." Anne nods, and then turns to Tom. "I know you have some things to do tom, so will you go get Ben to keep watch over my few patients while I go to the storage shed for some things?" Tom nods and leaves the room. Only a few minutes later a young man enters the room. He looks about my age. Anne smiles at the boy with a riffle strapped to his back. She smiles at me, Nods at the young man, and leaves. The boy's dark blond hair sticks up every which way, and he wears dark layers of clothing. I stare at him, until he turns toward me. He returns my gaze, his hazel green eyes look slightly hollow, and he finally breaks the silence. "How are you feeling?" he asks. "Fine. Considering." he nods at me. "When me and my brother found you, we thought you where dead." I look at him, and he looks sort of concerned, but the look quickly disappears. "My names Ben Mason. What's yours?" I stare at him. I feel as if I'm in shock. I'm not even sure I should trust these people, but they're at least human. "Elizabeth Knight." I whisper. "Well its nice to meet you Elizabeth. Welcome to the 2nd mass." I give him a small smirk. That's when Anne enters the room again. "Hey Ben, dinner starts in five minute if you would escort Elizabeth to dinner so she has someone to eat with. That would be great." she smiles broadly at him. For a moment he seems unsure, but then reluctantly he nods and turns toward me. "Come on girly. Let's go eat."
