I ran down the hall, carrying Meagan in my arms. I looked at her face as I was running. She was asleep. I didn't know why, but she was. I also saw some dry tears that were still on her cheeks. She looked so peaceful in her sleep. "For you Meagan," I said. "I will get you out of here." I then saw her smile slowly. "Ja-Jacob...," She said in her sleep. "Shhhhhhh...," I told her. "We're almost there."
I then finally reunited with the rest of the gang. "Hey guys," I said. They all looked at Meagan in my arms. "What?" I asked. "You're actually carrying her?" Michael asked. "Well yeah," I said. "And I don't mind really." "And are you sure she doesn't?" Sam asked. "Well no. I'm sure she doesn't," I said, looking down at her. "Well come on then! What are we waiting for?" Daniel asked. "Let's get out of here!"
We then started running through the halls. Just then, all the halls turned red. And the alarm got so loud, Meagan woke up! "GUARDS!!! GUARDS!!! MY PROJECTS RAN AWAY!!! GET THEM!!! GET ALL OF THEM!!!" Dr. Enero screamed. "GUYS!!! GET OUT OF HERE!!!" I yelled. We ran down the halls very fast with guards running behind us. Brooke then stopped. "GUYS! YOU GO AHEAD! I'LL TAKE CARE OF THEM!" She yelled. "WHAT?! BROOKE!" I yelled. "I GOT THIS! JUST GO!" Brooke yelled. "WE'RE NOT GONNA LEAVE YOU HERE!" Lauren yelled. "JUST GO!" She yelled.
We stood for a few seconds, but then we all left. "YOU SURE IT'S NECESSARY FOR US TO LEAVE HER?!" I yelled. "I DON'T KNOW! BUT IF SHE SAID SHE'S TAKING CARE OF IT, SHE IS!" Meagan yelled.
We ran down more hallways until we found the exit. "WE'RE ALMOST THERE! COME ON!" I yelled. But just then, the doctor appeared with a tranquilizer gun! "STOP. RIGHT. THERE!" He yelled. "It's over, Enero!" I said. "We're getting out of here, and back with our normal lives." "You have no lives!" Enero yelled. "You were born to only be my projects!" "No one will ever be your project!" Michael yelled. "And I guess for you," he said, pointing the gun at Michael. "We'll make an appointment for you and your non-January friends."
He then started to shake. "You don't understand...," He said, trembling. "You all have a secret...and I'm here to find it...." I looked at him, feeling curious about his quivering. Just then, his eye began to twitch. "And I can't let my projects get away right...? Hehe...RIGHT?!" He yelled. He slowly started becoming insane. "You're afraid, aren't you?" Austin asked. "N-n-n-n-no I'm not!" He said. His hands were then shaking, and his gun shook. Then they began arguing. "Yes you are." "No I'm not!" "Yes you are." "No I'm not!" "Yes you are." "No I'm not!" "Yes you are." "DO YOU WANT TO FALL ASLEEP?!" He yelled, loudly. "I'LL TRANQUILIZE ALL OF YOU!!! YOU ARE NOT GETTING AWAY FROM ME AGAIN!!! NO! NO! AND IF YOU RUN AWAY AGAIN! I'LL FIND YOU AGAIN! AND AGAIN! AND AGAIN! BECAUSE YOU ARE MY PROJECTS! AND IF I HAVE TO FIND YOU ALL WITHOUT ALL MY STUPID PATHETIC GUARDS THAT I WAS TOO STUPID ENOUGH TO HIRE I WILL!!!"
Just then a big dart was fired at him! "WHAT THE?!" He yelled, looking at it. "What is the meaning of this?" He then starting feeling woozy. "Those...stupid...pathetic...guards...." He then fainted on the ground. The guards then immediately ran and grabbed him and picked him up. "What just happened?" I asked. "We're gonna experiment him now," one of them said. "That'll show him who's really stupid and pathetic!" "Great! While you're doing that, can you lead us to Brooke?" I asked. The guards then stood there silently. "Well? Are you?" I asked again. They then looked down. "WHAT HAPPENED?!" I yelled. "She died during the experiment...," he said, quietly.
We then stood there silently. I then punched him in the face hard, and ran past them fast. I ran through the hallways and saw her in the chair! Her eyes were closed and she sat very still. I walked to her and shook her. "Brooke?! BROOKE?!" I yelled, shaking her. I then looked down, and saw a form. When I picked it up, my friends ran into the room. I looked down at the bottom. "Results...failure...!" I then started tearing up and laid my head down on Brooke. I then heard the girls crying too. "NOOOOOOOOO!!!" I screamed loudly. I kept crying and I couldn't stop. "NOOOOOOOOO!!!" "She was the bravest soul of us all...," Meagan sobbed.
Just then, a puff of smoke appeared. I turned and saw the seer. "What do you want...?" I asked, sniffling. "Jacob. Friends," it said. "You have done well in defeating Dr. Enero." "Yeah, well that doesn't matter!" I yelled. "Now Brooke is dead!" "Let me finish," it said, raising a hand. "In return for the safety of all those who were born in January. I will do this one thing for you." It then pressed its staff against her chest where her heart was. "Do you want Brooke back?" It asked. "Yes...," I said. "Then go on, and place your hands on the staff."
I placed my hand on the staff, and it began to glow. Then Austin placed his hand on it. Then Meagan, and Daniel. The staff then glowed very bright! "And now...by the power of January...," the seer said, slowly. "Let the ones for January be reborn with full power!" And then, a huge glow filled up the room. And a few seconds later, it stopped. We then took our hands off and the staff got off her chest. We then stared down at Brooke.
And a few seconds later, her fingers twitched, and her slowly eyes opened. Brooke was alive again.
