We made it to the helicopters as the building started to collapse. The three girls were already in the back as Sue made her way in. I pushed myself in as Zac started to slide out of the helicopter. The helicopter started as Zac was hanging outside the helicopter. I had to save him. I need him and he needs me. 

"Lilly! Save me!" Zac screamed at the top of his lungs as I made my way to the door. 

He was hanging for dear life. I had to save him. I made my way to pull him in as one of the girls pushed me as I took Zac with me. I thought that I had let him fall, but I actually just let him slide back and hang on to the side door. The girls started to laugh as they started to kick Sue out of the seats and onto the floor. One of the girls brought out a knife and was about to stab Sue as I kicked the girl in the face sending her backwards. The other girls brought out their weapons. They were both holding knives. No wonder why they were prisoners. 

I shoved a girl to the side of the plane, but instead I shoved her out the door and she fell down. Sue was still fighting off one of the girls and Zac with the other. The one girl against Zac got to close and lunged out the door as she grabbed my foot. I started to wiggle back in forth as Zac got into the helicopter and pushed Sue over the seat. 

The girl on my foot started to bring out her knife. I started to shake her down as she slipped off and cut my foot. She fell down screaming and that was it. When I finally got up I saw that the window was broken and there was no sight of the other girl. I imagine that she fell out the window, but I don't want to imagine it. 

It was just the three of us and the captain who was gone! The captain must have jumped out on himself. Zac took control as Sue slammed the door shut. We had to get down to the ground or there could be other mishaps.

I had made more friends today and I had survived an attack on the Murky, but who would attack the Murky? I don't know, but I do know that over 2,000 people died in the attack.

I am happy that I made it.

And I will always be happy. 

No matter what.
