I didn't move. My expression didn't change. I froze. She doesn't know where my mother is right? She can't. No one does. If I don't, than she doesn't. She's lying.

"You're lying."

"Am I? If you do kill me and I know, you'll never find her. Are you really gonna take that risk?" She asked.

"Stand down," Rick ordered.

"Flag, stand down. She's not gonna do shit. Are you?"

I still didn't move. Was I? I don't- wait...what am I saying?! She can't do that to me! Nuh uh! Not happening! I'm not gonna let her tell me what I will, and will not do.

Turning to flag, I gave him and Floyd a look, before walking away.

"I'm done," I said annoyed. "Blow me up, see if I care."

I walked out of the room, and headed back down the stairs. I heard footsteps behind me, and ignored them.

"Hey. Hey, wait!"

I shook my head, and kept walking, "Leave me alone."

"No. Would you stop walking?"

I gripped my weapon, and spun around, hitting him on the shoulder.

"Why?"

"You need to calm down. I don't know what the hell that was back there, but you need to put-

"-that behind me and move on? I know. Do you know how many times people have said that to me? I'm tired of hearing it. If I want to hold onto something, I'll hold on to something. And if I want to let go, and do what I want, then hell...I'll do what I want." I walked up in his face. "They. Dont. Like. Us. They're using us. They will kill you when this is over. I'm leaving. I'm gonna die no matter what anyway."

I began to walk back down thee steps, when my arm was pulled. I was pulled back up the steps, and back into the room.

"Your rediculous." I informed shaking my arm out of his grasp. "This is rediculous. Why are we here?"

I walked up to Flag, "You have a whole army. Why not use them? Why take us?"

"Spade," Floyd said.

"No! If I'm gonna fight for these idiots, then I want to know why."

"Because if you don't," The chick started to say, "then we all die. You, me, Rick, his girlfriend, Dead shots wife, and kid... your mother... we all have someone to lose here."

I looked up from the floor, "What about you? Who, or what do you have to lose? I don't see a wedding ring. You got a boyfriend? A child? A fish? What about a rat?...Do you have a dead cousins ashes to look after?"

She didn't answer me. She stared me straight in the face, with a blank expression. Wow. Never got that look before.

"Well, that's clears things up," I said walking away. I gripped the weapon in my hand before turning to them. "Well?....are we gonna save the damn world or not?"

They followed me outside, and once we got there. We were met with something we weren't expecting.

"What is this?" Floyd asked.

I smiled, and looked at him, "Shooting practice."

A smile spread across his face, as he pulled out his gun, "Now we talkin."

I grabbed the staff, and ran. I wacked one in the head, and shot two more, before I felt hands grab my arm. I was lifted into the air, and slammed on the ground.

"Ow," I said aloud.

They grabbed my arms, and began dragging me. I tried to yell at them, but one covered my mouth. They all surrounded me, as they carried me off.

They carried me to this building, where all these things were. HA! That's very descriptive... wow...!
Alrighty! You know the things that were attacking us? Yeah, there were hundreds of them!

We were drawing near this lady who was wearing an ugly dress. Ew. Sorry not sorry. It was ugly. At least I wouldn't be caught wearing it. Ew. Bleh. Nope! No no no no no no no!

They dropped me at the bottom of the steps she was standing on.

"Come here child," She spoke.

I quickly got up, and held my weapon close to me.

"What are ya doin?" I asked confused. "Love the dress by the way."

She held out her hand for me to take.

"Join me...And together we can rule the world."

"That's not weird." I mumbled walking up to her.

I was just about to grab her hand when someone grabbed my arms. I was pulled to the side, as I heard someone yell behind us.

"Stop!"

I looked behind me to see the team.

"Took you long enough!"

"Get down here! Now!" The black chick yelled.

I forgot her name. Too much energy to think of what it was. Oh shut it.

"I know you're not talkin to me!" I yelled back. "I didn't choose to come up here!"

She turned to flag and handed him her phone, before whispering. No clue what they were talking about. But it couldn't have been good, since they were looking at the phone. I stared at them as I stood there.

"Sometime today!" I yelled.

I was pulled to the side, and down the steps away from everyone. They, somehow, didn't notice this. Idiots! I mean, ate you blind?! I was pulled behind a column and pushed against it.

"Get off me!" I yelled, struggling in their grasp.

They stopped, and stared at me. They actually stopped. The two looked weird. Not like the others. Their heads  were different. I didn't know at forst, but if you really look at them, it's actually pretty obvious.

One held me against the wall, while the other raised his hands to its head. Before I knew it, its' skin was being pulled off! Oh wait!

"What the-

My mouth was covered. It was a man. He had blue eyes, and dark brown hair.

"Who are you?" I asked.

The other guy took his gun out, and slammed it against my head. I fell to the ground, in pain. He didn't hit me to knock me out...more like to just stun me. Or hurt me. Not to do damage. It still hurt like hell though!

I got up, and ran over to Floyd who was walking towards the lady.

"Enchantress stop this." The chick said.

I looked towards Enchantress, who looked at me.

"Why do you fight for those who cage you?... Join me. Together, we can rule the world."

I grabbed a gun off of Floyd belt.

"Look lady," I said cocking the gun. " I like what you're sellin, but I can't. I'd love to, but, sadly...we got a damn world to save. Because, I don't if you want to...but I want to keep living. No matter how messed up my life has been, I'm ready to die yet."
