I don’t know how long it has been since I last passed out. I was conscious but I couldn’t open my eyes. I moved my arm to see if I really was alive, when an agonising pain shot up through my abdomen.”Ahh” I grunted at the pain that was slowly becoming worse.

“She’s awake.” I heard a familiar voice say. I tried opening my eyes again, but they were too heavy.

“It’s okay Scarlett. I’m here and so is George.” The same voice told me.

“Who are you?” I groaned through the pain.

“Lyssa.”

“Lys, I can’t open my eyes. They are too heavy.”

“Don’t worry the doctor did say that might happen.”

“Doctor?” I mimicked trying to remember what had hap- oh. Suddenly the images flashed past my eyes. Mike on the floor, blood flowing from his back; Dan trying to kill me, helping our enemy Laila. “Mike!” I screamed remembering how much pain he was in when I last saw him. “Mike where are y-” My cries were abruptly stopped when a hand covered my mouth.

“Letty stop,” I heard a male voice say.

“Who… who are you?” I asked worried that Dan might be standing in front of me with a knife in his hands.

“It’s me, Dan. I’m going to help you.”

“No!” I yelled at him after he removed his hand. “I’m not going to listen to you, you bastard. You are the reason why Mike and I are here in the first place. I never want to see or hear anything from you again!”

“Wow, wow. Letty back up a bit. I think you have it all wrong and twisted.” Dan tried reasoning with me.

“No Dan. It’s you who is trying to twist so you can kill all of us when we least expect it.” I yelled back, feeling frustrated that no one was listening to me.

“Scarlett, it’s George.” George suddenly said.

“What do you want?” I snapped at him, forgetting he was the leader of the semita.

“Scarlett, Dan has told us what happened a few days ago. He told us th-“

“Wait.” I said interrupting what he was saying. “I was out for how long exactly?”

“Three days to be exact.” Lys replied.

“Oh. What about Mike? Is he, um, you know, okay?”

“Yes he is.” George responded. “Anyway, back to what I was saying. Dan told us he was ambushed on his way to drive home. He didn’t even make it out of the school car park. He said a cloth was wrapped around his face from behind and the next thing he knew was that he was in the same room as Laila. Laila told him to forget about his friends and remember all the bad things that had happened in his life, so he did, not wanting to risk any of our lives. But he was hypnotised and forced to do what she said by revealing his dark memories to her.”

I was getting angry. I couldn’t even look at them to see if they were lying to me or not. I tried to force my eyes open, ignoring the pain. Suddenly it was really bright. “Damn it.” I muttered covering my eyes with my hand. “Ow!” I yelled forgetting that it hurt to move.
