Forgotten

27

Running and hiding. There are people I could be saving, but instead I am running and hiding. No staying and facing.

We had planned for weeks. Planned of escaping that prison. The prison that killed little children. We were ready. So were they. Cara stole the gun. I should have. Not her. She aimed it at the guard. We were ready. We were going to escape. Cara pulled the trigger. She missed.

We tried to run anyway but it was to late. The guard had no fatal injuries. Only a wound in his shoulder. He was still able to sound the alarm. Five other guards appeared. I hid. I didn't try to help her. I didn't create a diversion. She didn't sell me out. I heard a gunshot. I saw them drag her limp body away.

No one is following me. That doesn't stop me from running faster and faster through the woods. The only thing that slows me down is the weight on my shoulders from those I could not save. First Charity, then Cara. I wonder who will be the third. Maybe it will be my own sister. How do I even know she is alive? I can't bear the thought of losing her forever.

They will notice my disappearance. They will come for me. Running and hiding can only save me for so long. I can not let Paige down. I can not die until she is safe. She is the only thing willing me to hold on. The only thing willing me to fight. This is the war, and it is only beginning.
