"It's okay India, your mama is going to come back and protect you. That's her job to do, don't cry. Your going to make me cry," I say this while I run through India's hair, trying to sooth the little girl.
Sadly, my mom never did this to me, she would have made me suck it up and try to be a big girl. India is lucky to have a mother like the Drifter.
India stops crying and simply stares at her shoes, poor girl. I look at my watch and it reads 3:20p.m., 30 minutes will past and it will be around 3:50p.m.
I sit down next to a tree and I watch India carefully, as I do this I see a flash of pink hair at the corner of my eye before it disappears.
I turn to where I saw it and see nothing, the shouts underneath the tunnel have gotten a little quiet. Again, I see a flash of pink hair in the corner of my eye.
"That," I hear India say. I look to see her pointing at something behind the tree, I turn but see nothing.
I look back at India and she looks at me and says,"He here." I still understand that she's saying, "She's here."
I see again a flash of pink hair disappear behind one of the cottages. Oh shit.

She went inside the cottage where he is, and the cottage was dark but her pink hair stands out more in the dark.There he was looking out the window, watching the teenager and little girl. "Hello, you know she's here and she went into your trap," she says to him.
"I saw," he says still looking out. "I know, never realize how gullible she can be," she responds back.
"She isn't gullible. She is cunning, smart, and strong. That's why we need to cease this chance to take away the thing she loves dearly enough to give herself up for," he says with a devious grin.
"Right, but what about the red head, she seems confused about the new world she's fallen in," she asks him.
He turns from the mirror and smiles at the pink headed girl,"Don't worry, I'll see to it she comes to the right side."

"Look you people are stupid, this guy will kill us if we don't join him. Don't you care about your lives at all?," a female prisoner asks the other prisoners."Why bother? He just wants to rule people because the world is gone and now he wants to be God,"a red headed male prisoner responds.
"Well, I don't know about you guys but us gals are finding and creating a way out. Right girls!?," she asks the other female prisoners in the big cell with her.
"Please just give it a rest already Magenta! We aren't getting out at all! Okay?," a green headed female prisoner responds.
"Ivory come on have a little bit of faith that our bad luck can change," Magenta says and turns around to smile at her cellmate.
"Okay Magenta, the world is gone. We are prisoners of a maniac who wants to be God, we have been stuck in this stupid underground for 8 days now.
You know what, nobody has come yet!," Ivory yelled at the stop of her lungs."Not so loud Ivory, damn! I just want everybody to have some sort of hope." "Well Magenta, if he comes back down here again, our hope will be gone from 5 to 0 in less than 1 second," Ivory responds. Bam! Bam! Bam! "Did someone call for hope?," the Drifter asks.
