Kane's P.O.V

I miss my old life.

I miss going to school.

I miss arguing with my sister.

I miss my Mom.

I miss my dad.

I miss staying up till 4am with nothing to do.

I miss my old life.

I regret not cherishing everyday like it was my last.

I regret not saying I love you to my parents everyday.

I regret not paying attention to my parents' old stories.

I regret not cherishing my childhood.

I regret growing up so fast.

I regret killing my father.

My biggest worries were passing the final exam or making it on the lacrosse team. But now? I have to worry about saving my sister. Oh and don't forget to mention the end of the world.

Ever since the breakout of the disease,the world has been in catastrophe. I was only sixteen at the time and I still didn't understand. My sister was sixteen also,we are twins. One month into the breakout the Reformers asked for one hundred volunteers. My sister wanted to volunteer. She told me first. It surprised me. I don't remember exactly what she told me but it went a little something like this:

"I know I'm going to die...thousands of us already died. We're killing each other off. And I know I'm going to die. You're going to die,mom is,dad is. We have to face it. And knowing that I'm going to die...I don't want to leave this world and not do something to help it. Me volunteering for this thing could find a cure. I could help save the world. And save the rest of us... I don't want to die not feeling like I accomplished something. So please just support me in this..."

Mom and Dad got in a fight,Dad didn't want Scout to leave. Mom wanted her to be happy. There was one thing wrong about what my Mom believed.

How could you be happy when the worlds falling apart?

My mom let Scout be taken by a Reformer then we went into hiding. We as in my Dad and I. My mother got infected. My dad did what was to be done. He killed her.

As the years went by it got harder. We went in hiding. We had this underground bunker beneath are house. It was used for hurricanes. My dad and I were pretty much set. We had food and everything. That was until we ran out. When it did we had to leave the bunker.

Leaving the bunker was like leaving your bed to turn off the lights. It was leaving something safe to do something that will only make you more scared,the dark.

When it did we were unprepared. The Gone outnumbered the human count. Within a day my dad was infected. That day will haunt me for the rest of my life.

"Kane...I'm sorry. I'm so sorry I have to make you do this...You have to save your sister...find her. You're her only hope- "
