TARA'S POV

"Help" i screamed into the darkness.

I screamed over and over again. no one answered. I carried on.

"Thats not gonna help you" a voice said slyly. It was a mans voice and it seemed familiar.

This startled me making me hit my head on the wall behind.

I really hurt my head but i was more focused on the fact that someone one was there but i had no idea who.

"Who-who 's there?"

"Me"

"Whos me"

Silence.

It was clear that I wasn't going to find out who it was.

I was starting to get a bit stressed not knowing who it was sitting next to me.

I stay awake for ages just staring at the dark and I'm about to fall asleep when the door opens and light is sprayed everywhere.

I squint and in the doorway is a soldier with Jess in front of him.

Shes crying and she pushes her on to a heap on the floor.

She screams.

He closes the door before I have chance to turn around and see the man.

Jess crawls up to me and puts her head on my shoulder, crying quietly.

"Its ok we will get out of here" i say to comfort knowing very well that there is hardly a chance of that happening.

"No we won't" she replies , crying even hard into my shoulder.

"Go to sleep and we will find out what we are going to do in the morning"

"Die. we are going to die"

I would always be the worrier at school and she would always be chilled and to be honest i was terrified but for her sake I didn't let it show.

"Think about all those times where i hiccuped in English class and used get told off for laughing with you about it"

"That was funny" she laughed.

"It was"

It took a long time but she eventually fell asleep.

And so did I.

ASH'S POV

I got thrown in with Jack and a creepy old woman.

The awkward thing is the old woman talks to me more than Jack does.Its often a single word though like "frog" or "supercalifragalisticexpealidotious"

"You ok" Jack asks.

"Not really"

"Its ok"

Awkward silence.

"Do you like Riley" he asks.

The question is a hard one. I don't know whether i should say yes or no.Maybe Riley asked him to ask in which case my answer is no. But if he's asking himself then yes. because the truth is I do. I really do.

Its slips out as "I dont know..."

"So you do?"

"No"

"So you don't?"

"Why do you even care? eh?"

"Just asking"
