Hey I know this update has taken a long time but I'll explain why in the author's note at the bottom. Please check it out.

"What are you doing here?" He asked.

I was shaking as I was untying the knots in the ropes around Xavier's arms and legs. The rope was starting to burn my hands a little because I had already untied Kinley's ropes letting her out of the room.

"i'm trying to help you." I said quietly.

Xavier's look darkened. "I don't need your help." He shoved me once the ropes came away and i hit the wall with a thud. I winced as my back hit the concrete and I slowly fell to the floor. My world was going fuzzy but I saw as the door opened and a man who was tall came into the room. I looked but couldn't see his face. All I saw was him reach to pull out a gun, pull the trigger and the sound of the bullet leaving. Time slowed down and I tried to scream but I watched as Xavier fell and then my vision went black.

I woke up with an arm around me while I was rocked back and forth slowly. I opened my eyes to see Devon holding me in his arms rocking me back and forth with the train bumping along the tracks. I felt my clothes clinging to me with a layer of sweat. 

"Hey." He said letting go of me. I pushed my hair back and tucked it behind my ears.

My heart was racing and I realized everything had been a dream. "what time is it?" I asked.

Devon got off the bed and stretched. "It's about five thirty am. You slept through breakfast,lunch, dinner for about the least twenty minutes you were screaming. I'm guessing you had a bad dream?" He looked at me while he leaned against the chair by the table. "I'm still a little shocked you slept through almost a whole day."

I sat up looking at the room we were in. It took me a little while to realize we were on the train to Florida. I looked around and took in the details of the room. It felt a little bigger but i didn't know why. I looked for my duffle bag and found it underneath my bed and pulled out my toothbrush and face wash and a little bag I had filled with toiletries. After grabbing what i needed I put my wig on and went to walk out. However when I reached the door of the room I looked at the hall and noticed the carpet was different. I had remembered it being a maroon color but now it was a navy. I looked back at Devon who had his eyes on me.  

"Um, Did the carpet change?" I asked. 

Devon laughed lightly. "No. We changed trains last night. You were sleeping so I carried you and gave a train personnel some money to carry our bags." 

I nodded actually happy because I wasn't going crazy. I walked down the hall to a small bathroom. I put my bag on the sink and looked at my face in the mirror. I had faint circles under my eyes and my skin looked pale. I turned on the sink and splashed my face with some water to refresh it. I quickly washed my face and brushed my teeth. After having skipped a morning brush I didn't want to have morning breath because it was mid afternoon. I pulled my wig into a pony tail and adjusted it to make it look like my own hair. Once I felt a little better and more awake I went back to the room to find Devon gone.

I dropped my things on the bed and called for Devon.

"Devon?" I whispered. My heart began to pick up beats and I began to breathe faster imagining the worst. "Devon?" I called for him again. His sweter was gone and his cell phone wasn't on the table. I pulled mine out from my backpack and called his number. A knock came from the door and I walked over to it slowly. A million thoughts were running through my mind as I stood next to the door. I held my phone in my had as if it could help me beat anyone who could come through the door and attack me. The knock came again and I put my hand on the handle. I pulled it open quickly and saw Devon almost fall back holding a tray with some plates and little boxes of takeout.eg
