The Hunted.

Cigarette Daydreams

They all stood in a circle around Ian, whispering to one another. It was too soon for them to have Ian know who they are and what they are. "What happened?" Island asked Allison. Allison tried to remember what happened, she didn't remember much because she was knocked in the head with a lamp.

"I don't know." Allison said, there was so much that happened today. She believed that it all started with her. Brooke grabbed a hold of Allison gently, making her look into her eyes.

"Try," Brooke begged her. Allison closed her eyes, remembering what happened this morning. It was like the memories were just flashes and pieces in her head. Then, she remembered what happened. She could see her friends sitting on the bench, talking about coming back to the house.

"It was right after you left." Allison kept her eyes closed, Brooke looked behind at Island and Eva. Allison saw a flash of her looking at Ian and then at Nicolas. "I went to class and...Ian and Nicolas were there. Ian started to ask me questions about us...and..." Allison can't remember the questions but she knew that he was acting suspiciously. "He asked about you guys and I told him that you weren't in my class." Allison opened her eyes, that's when her mistake was made. She looked at all of them, she felt sorry and believed that she was the reason that this happened. "Then Mr. Donald called role, your names were called. Ian and Nicolas knew that I lied...maybe they thought that I was hiding something. I quickly left the room...and after that..." Allison paused.

"And after that?" Eva asked, waiting for what happened. Allison looked up and saw the look on their face, they were worried.

"You guys came back, we were at lunch..." Allison hesitated, trying to remind herself what had happened.

"Yea, blah, blah...what happened next?" Island asked, she was getting annoyed with Allison always pausing like it was really hard trying to remember. Island thought if it was her, she would remember right away. Allison looked up, feeling as though Island really didn't care about her. Allison squinted her eyes like she was going to do something but continued to talk.

"And Nicolas was stopping me from leaving...like he was-" Allison told them but was interrupted by Brooke. Brooke walked over to Ian, looking at him as he was slowly regaining consciousness.

"Stalling," Brooke smirked, she thought that it was a clever plan. Ian groaned in pain, his face felt tight. He didn't feel much of the pain yet because he had so much adrenaline. Brooke backed away, turning to her friends.

"And then I found him in Iris' room. He was trying to leave with her." Allison glanced behind her, she saw Iris on the ground with candles, and crystal circled that Iris kept when she was younger. Allison glanced up and the night was slowly sneaking up on them.

"He was trying to protect her. He thought she was dead or that we were going to kill her." Eva walked over to Ian, slapping him on the head. Ian groaned, slowly opening his eyes. He held his head up, fighting the urge to go back to sleep. His head felt so heavy and so did his eyelids. Ian looked at the girls, his eyes became wide and his heart was racing again. He jumped up but realized that he was tied to a chair. They all circled around him, wondering what to do with him.

"We stick to the plan," Island said, looking directly at Ian. Ian panicked, he wanted to know what plan they were talking about. He looked around at the girls.

"Wh-What plan? Are you going to kill me?! Is she going to kill me?!" Ian said panicking, he glanced over at Eva. Eva shrugged her shoulders, standing beside Island. They all looked down at him with their arms crossed and a judgmental look on their face. "Iris would never forgive you," Ian told them, hoping that it would make them change their minds. Island chuckled.

"Do you honestly think that Iris cares if you live or die. She only meet you one night, I pretty sure that she doesn't even know your name." Island smirked, she said the words with such power and evil. She wanted Ian's feelings to be hurt. Ian looked away from her, he noticed that he was still in the woods.
