I trip on a fallen tree, my limbs splaying out in front of me. After running from the Vadem Mental Hospital, and using up a lot of my energy killing those poor people, my body can barely struggle to get up.

Pain shoots up my arm when I use it to get up, as well as my ankle, but I keep going, albeit a bit slower and off-balance.

The pain is almost blinding, but I run through, the ever pressing thought in my head: I must escape, I must escape, I must escape.

The shouts have long faded, but I'm still pumping my arms and legs as if I was only a few feet away from the gates.

After hours of running, my injuries slow me down more and more, until I'm limping slowly through the thick vegetation, half-conscious from the pain.

My foot catches on my injured ankle, making pain shoot up my injured leg, and my body to collapse forward. I try to get up, but the pain in my arms and my ankle overpower me, as well as exhaustion.

I grab my water bottle from my bag, taking a few sips to preserve the water I have. Crawling over to a tree, I rest against it, breathing heavily.

Flashes of what just happened a few hours ago pop up in my tired brain, making my heart clench. Asher, on the hospital bed, the monitor not giving away anything, his pale face, his peaceful look. I remember the people I killed, the nurses, the guards, and anyone else who was unlucky enough to be near me. They all died because of me.

Something warm and wet slides down my cheek, then another, until I realize I'm crying. Crying because I killed people, I killed my best and only friend, I can only now remember glimpses of my family, when I should remember everything, and I'm free.

I'm baaaaaaack~! Now, I have a better plan for this book, but I need to plan the VERY end. Lol, I'm failing at this so bad, but hey, I'm still young; I'm learning.

QUESTION TIME: Would you rather get shot in the head, or drown?

My Answer: Get shot, because although drowning is said to be peaceful, just imagine struggling against your natural urge to breathe oxygen. That would suck, and hurt, then the whole peaceful-sleep thing would happen, right? A shot in the head is clean, and should kill you immediately, if done right.

Ha, ha ha....that was totally not a serious question. Seriously. Please, don't take it seriously.
