You woke up to noises coming from outside, weird you thought to yourself. You look at the clock, 2:09am. No one should be out, unless they want to get in trouble..

You got out of bed, stumbling over to the window to see what the noises were.

As you reached the window you started to register the voices one of them being Nico, the bishop of your district.

You recognized the other voice but barely. Like it had been a while since you heard it.

You peeked out the window, making sure to be quiet so the voices below wouldn't hear you. Nico and... what?

You now remembered who the voice belonged to, a boy who attempted to escape from DEMA multiple times, his latest escape attempt succeeding.

You looked closer at him, he'd shaved his head and was wearing camo clothing with strips of yellow tape on it. Weirdly familiar..

The whole time you had been edging up to the window without thinking and all of the sudden. Bang. You hit the window sill.

You ducked down under it, but it was too late. He had seen you.

You ran to your bed and hid your journal in its normal space, throwing your covers over you, in an attempt to act like you had been asleep.

You heard foot steps coming up through the hall way that stopped at your door, then you heard the noise of keys, then, the sound you'd been dreading, the door opening.

You squeezed your eyes shut as hard you could bracing yourself for anything that was about to come.

But nothing came. Just the noise of something being thrown on the ground and the door shutting.

You peeked over your shoulder to make sure Nico was gone. He was.

"Thank god" you whispered to yourself.

You sat up in your bed looking for what he had dropped on the floor. Oh no.

It was him. The man that escaped.

"Tyler..?"
