My feet skidded on the wet flooring, slipping and sliding as I ran at full speed.

Oh no, oh no, oh no...

OH GOD NO!

I kept running-

I saw what she did.

She's evil.

She's not who she claims to be.

My friends were right behind me, almost running into me as I stopped.

I remember her running out of the room after he was murdered...

Ivor.

She killed him with asphyxiation.

I sat in the corner of the room, uselessly cruel to the man.

His eyes locked with mine, full of pain and fear.

And then he crumpled to the ground, falling to his death.

I heard her voice.

"YOU IDIOTS! LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE!" Screeched Veronica.

I paused outside the door, my breathing quiet as I could make it.

"What are we going to do, Aiden?" Asked Myah, sounding scared.

"I-I don't know..." I whispered, looking through the door.

Lukas was lying on the ground, dead.

Jesse, Olivia, Petra, and Axel looked scared, defenseless.

"We've got to help them."

...

I don't know what happened to Jesse and her friends.

All I know is that Lukas was dead-

Veronica wouldn't have transformed if he was still alive.

My friends were scared-

And so was I.

I never wanted Jesse and her friends to suffer ever again...

"How will we help them?" Asked Myah, playing with the covers on her bunk.

"We need the others."

...

"Veronica needs to be stopped."

The others who could make it were assembled before me, the dark room surrounding us.

The rest of us stayed behind to keep Veronica distracted, and I was currently trying to convince the people here that Jesse and her friends needed to be helped.

"I feel bad for killing them...." whimpered Cassie, tears in her eyes. "I feel like I should be doing something to make up for it."

I nodded, knowing the feeling of debt.

Jesse should have killed me on that island in the sky- but instead she showed me mercy.

She let me go, and I've felt like I've owed her something ever since.

"But...but won't we all die if we try to kill her?" Asked Myah.

"No. that's only if we run away and betray her. She said nothing about killing her."

I lied.

She wouldn't be that stupid-

The person killing her would definitely loose their life...
