"Why have you been hurting yourself?" Emmett looked at me with the purest look I have seen in a very long time. "Because I was giving up. Everyone, even you, told me to kill myself. I didn't see the point in dying when my grandparents would just do it for me tonight..." He sat back a little bit and looked confused. "What do you mean they were going to kill you tonight?" At this all of the guys looked at me waiting for an answer. "Well...I had a dream..well it was more like a vision. Aunt Beck told me they were gonna kill me, that I needed to run after I heard the first shot, and to let the real me out." The guys started pacing around in the forest. "Well how about for now we go to the house and figure things out." Brandon looked at me seeing if whether I would agree to go there or not. "No no they will look there for me I'm not going there!" I started kicking and hitting my way out of my Emmett's grip and I ran. I ran straight to the clubhouse and I climbed my way onto the roof and hid in a little nook. I was instantly that scared little girl again. I could feel it in my gut that one of my grandparents was dead but not both. That's when I could hear my grandpa yelling my name. "MAKENZIE!! WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?!?" I grabbed the bow and arrow I had stashed on the roof years ago. I ran to a tree that I knew I could see their house from and I pulled back the bow string. I took in a deep breath and as I let the arrow fly and let out the breath. As I heard the arrow fly through the air and into his heart. I watched him bleed out from my hiding spot. I climbed down the tree and went to check for a pulse. I couldn't feel one so I started to walk away. I felt something grab my leg. I fall forward. Thanks clumsiness. Then I feel two meaty hands wrap themselves around my neck. I claw at them until I remember I have my knife. I quickly grab it out of its sheath and I thrust it back as hard as I possibly can. I hear the crack of a skull and I feel the blood on my back. The hands begin to loosening so I turn around and I turn the knife before pull it out. Then I hear the guys running toward me and I collapse as everything goes black.
