I hung off the slippery metal door, a girl reaches over and pulls me up. I immediately swing around to Joy who everyone helped for her to jump.

I pull her up and then it was Lizzie's turn, she grabs my hand but slips, my stomach lurches as my other arm flies out to catch her. Her face looks terrified, she grabs onto me for dear life as I pull her in.

AJ almost doesn't even need my help as she effortlessly jumps and gets most of her body onto the cargo door. I pull her in the rest of the way, I look back over to help Michael but see him fighting off a creature,

"Michael! Aim for the bulbs!" I shout over both the berg and the storm.

I move back to let the others on, Thomas jumps in first, and then Teresa.

Minho and Newt were next, Newt doesn't say anything as he pulls me into his side. I don't either, but I know there's no time for the lovey dovey stuff as I pull away. Jorge and Brenda get on and I pull myself back over.

"Michael!" I scream.

"I know!" He yells back as the creature shuts down. Newt and Minho hold me by big legs as I dangle out of the berg to catch Michael.

I was breathing heavily, the berg was getting too high.

"Jump!" I yell out,

Michael jumps and I grab him by his forearms. The flashes of light and the rain made it nearly impossible to see or even grab hold of anything properly but I hung on tight.

"Pull me back!" I shout to Newt and Minho.

Just as they start pulling me back my left hand slips. I let out a shriek and quickly take hold of Michael's left arm, the only thing stopping him from falling to his death.

"Go go go!" I yell again.

Newt and Minho tug again as I also use all my might to heave Michael into the berg, as he does I fall backwards on my back and breath heavily.

Safety. We were ok.

I close my eyes and take deep breaths, Michael is ok, he's alive and ok.

"Rose?" Michael questions,

I open my eyes and crawl over to him, wrapping my arms around his neck.

"I'm ok Rose" Michael states, pulling back to arms length,

"I almost killed you!"

"Rose don't you dare blame it on yourself if I die for starters, and I'm fine see" he holds his arms out to the sides to prove his point.

I nod my head and lean back against the wall. Newt puts an arm around my shoulder to bring me closer,

"I'm glad you're safe too" I say to him, brushing away his rain soaked golden locks from his eyes.

A man approaches everyone, he waves a gun at Brenda and Jorge,

"Who are these people?" He asks furiously,

Everyone jumps at the mans sharp words, we were all already wet and shivering and huge Brenda and Jorge were no exception.

"Somebody answer me!" The man shouts.

Michael scoots closer to me just as Newt pulls me closer, both acting protectively of me. I simply roll my eyes and remain quiet,

"They helped us get through the city" Thomas speaks up.

The man turns slowly to face him, "you picked them up along the way?" His voice deepens and his eyes lower dangerously.

"We made a deal, they help us and we get them a cure" Thomas explains,

"We didn't agree to letting you bring citizens!"

Thomas fights the wind as he stands up, it was a dangerous move considering the berg door was still open and as
this thing climbed higher the chance of survival when falling out drops dramatically.

The man breaks and orders Thomas to choose one person out of Jorge and Brenda, the other would die.

I blink a few times, if this man wasn't bluffing then we'd be saying goodbye to another person.

I could feel Newts breath and heart quicken, I grab a fistful of his shirt out of nervousness.

There was complete silence as everyone watched both Thomas and the mystery mad man very carefully, the man was counting down and Thomas was pleading for more time.

After ten seconds of silence Thomas speaks, "kill her"

My eyes snap to Brenda whose face drops suddenly, the man approaches her and grabs her by the collar of her shirt.

He yanks her to her feet and shoves her in the direction of the open berg door, I could feel my stomach drop. He was going to throw her out.

I watch as he holds onto a metal handhold situated at the door, the wind playing with Brenda's hair violently.

I take in a sharp breath, as I do Thomas moves forehead kicking the man in the knees as his gun clatters to the floor.

The man lets go of Brenda and Teresa wraps her hands around the girl's waist and pulls her back. They both fall back to the metal floor, heavy breathing.

I watch wide eyed, I feel a pang of guilt for not helping.

the man scoots back until he hits a wall, the expression on his face softening.

"My names David" he says,

"And you're right, it's all over"
