THE ESCAPE

Part 4: The Plan

Sorry for the late update :)

Part 4:The Plan
After Mark said what I was looking for tears ran down my face. I didn't know if I was excited or sad. I haven't gotten my full memory back just bits and pieces. The last few nights I haven't been able to sleep at all. Since we found my brothers, I can't stop thinking of ways to get them out of their hell hole. My best idea is going to find the closest sewer and finding them. It's been only about three weeks since I was found in the forest, but I was smart enough to not go into the sewers alone. It's been about three days since we've been camping in the forest near where my brothers were found. That morning I went to go see my brothers at 6:30 because nobody is up that early.
"Mark", I whispered.
"Alex is that you?” Jack answered, “Mark wake up Alex is here.
In a start mark woke up and screamed my name.i had to giggle a little at him, he was still half asleep as he tried to focus on me.
“Guys is there a tunnel or something near by, so i get you out of this thing?”
Mark replied gibberish, but Jack had his wits about him and answered clearly. “Yes. Once they got us in here, they shoved us and  said to walk. The entry was by an old chapel. The key pad numbers 9291. Don't go in without backup, I don't want to be the reason for your death.”
    I told them thank you and left before the townspeople woke up. As i jogged back to the woods, I saw a group of rats pulling a human arm across the street. I hated the fact that ever since World War three everywhere has gone back to great depression times and no one wanted to fix it. By the time i got back to camp Beatris and Z were awake.
“You left early” Beatris said handing me a cup of water.
“I didn't sleep and I wanted to talk to my brother's before the townspeople woke up.”
“Hey Alex do you want to go into town with me? I can put makeup on you and no one will ever know it's you”
“Really we can do that. I thought that I couldn't go into town”
“ No Zacharius just told you that to scare you, you can go into town. He still hasn't wrapped his head around the fact that you haven't killed anyone.”
“Can i go with you guys? I really miss seeing the town” Z looked up and smiled.
“Why should we let you go with us? I'm a killer remember, you don't want me to kill you now don't you?” I talked to him, like he was an adolescent child that couldn't comprehend what i what i was saying. I couldn't help but snap at him. One minute he was mad at me and the next he was happy.
“Alex! Wasn't that a bit mean?” Bea asked
“No Beatris it wasn't. Just yesterday he was saying that i should go and get captured like my brothers so i can die too.” i knew i reached the break off point of the argument but i wanted to prove my point. “ he doesn't want to be around me, and always calling me a killer when i've told him the story many times”
I didn't know what was happening my feet just started moving to where Z was standing. I started punching his chest, i had given up with him and frustrating tears welled in my eyes and i let them fall.
“How can you call me a killer, you know the whole story. I liked us better when I had no memory.”
Slowly he wrapped his arms around my waist and i didn't stop him. I sobbed in my shirt and looked pathetic, but that didn't matter. This is what i need from him, i need his apology after he put me through misery.  I felt like nothing in this world. My mom was gone, my dad was gone and i could only see my brothers through a drain pipe. Once i stopped crying, i looked up him to see a concerned look on his face.
“I'm sorry Alex i never knew…”
I interrupted him before he could get any further “Yeah right you knew how i felt! I told you every time that i'm not a killer”
“I know that you've told me about a million times, but i guess not until now i realized how bad i was hurting you. I'm so sorry Alexandra”
I felt something wet on my cheek and when i looked in his eyes, he was crying.
