Chapter 8 "dont do anything reckless"

Grace POV

(I haven't really slept well lately, Emma has been through so much and yesterday was just more pain for her. She held her breath for each of us as we took our risk for her. Some new people have came and it was nice to see them, I wasn't to fond of them but once again keeping my mouth shut was the best idea I had. I didn't really wanna take nothing from them but they were all very nice to me. I thought Narix was a pain and was just trying to be the boss, no one is the boss of us we must stay clear of what we can do and these people must stay clear of us. We do not take no for answer.
I woke up in the middle of the night thirsty as can be, I haven't thought about drinking water in days. I was mostly trying to gather food and keep watch, but the more we turned people in this house the more we won't have room. The others had to sleep on the floor. And even worse had to sleep with a towel. That's very uncomfortable, I wish I could help them. I wish I could just wish this all away. The more I stayed up the more I thought wow food, water. We won't have enough. But it was dangerous to go out at such a late time. I told myself not to and yet sure enough I went. It wasn't as far to go. Emma needed food to stay healthy, I have to at least try to save her life and the others they are more then welcome to help me. But no one was awake.
I grabbed my shoes and my jacket, still snowing? I thought it would go by now. It tried melting but the sun was not bright enough, we must leave this house or we will not make it out alive. I open the door and look back at The living room couch, I hope I make it back for me to sleep again.
Soon enough I head out the door. I didn't grab a basket as if we had any, the house was filled with nothing but old rusty things. I didn't really worry about it. I knew there must have been another house somewhere, or some animals I could grab that could actually be edible. I look around and finally found some blue berries. But yet I didn't know if they were actually edible. That was just what I was seeing.
I put the blue berries in my pocket and headed down a path. I could barely see anything, but the sun was coming up with a red tent to it. I felt a bit tired but I still had to go find what I was looking for.
It's been 30 minutes now and I'm still walking. I started to get alittle lost, but I knew I was close to the house. Soon enough after that 30 minutes I found a small cabin. Not as big but I decided to go in it just to look, all I had was my knife. And I hoped I knew how to fight. I was just tired of walking I kinda wanted to go home because it was really cold out. I walked up the stairs and opened the screen door stepping in I saw a couple of things I sure as hell needed. I looked around just a bit to see if there was anyone. Sure enough there was no one. I walked over to the kitchen and looked in each cannot to see if there was some sort of bag, There was. I grabbed the bag and started to fill it with spoons and plates, cans and lunch meat, cups as well. I looked in each cabin and fill half the bag with lots of things.
After I was done the sun was soon starting to come up. But the snow just made it look dark. I tried to find some blankets and there was only 2, im sure they can share. I grabbed a flash light and suddenly I heard a yell. But it wasn't no yell for help..

Alec POV

(I felt the hot sun coming down on my face. I opened my eyes, Looking at Ema still fast asleep. I put my head up and stretched. I put my hand on Emma's head and checked her temp, it was a bit hot. I'm positive that I can get some supplies.
I sit up and Narix barges in with a sudden panicking face.)

Narix- Alec you have to come see this.
Alec- what's wrong?
(she runs out of the room giving me a "come quick"wave to her. I run out of the room and down the stairs my eyes grow strong.)
Alec- Grace...
(three Men were holding Grace in a cage. My worst fear was for Emma to come down stairs. The men had armor on and there skin rotten with scratches. I felt my heart come out my chest. They were just standing there Grace was helpless in that cage screaming for us to help her, her face was burnt, her arms and legs were buried with blood, her clothes torn. I couldn't believe what I saw. All I could do is stare. I didn't know what to do. )
Narix- she's dying out there Alec!
Ashton - there's nothing we can do.
Ace- we have to help her..
(The men came forward and pulled out there guns)
Narix- What are we gonna do Alec we have to decide now!
(As soon as she was done with that sentence Emma walked down the stairs with a fear look on her face, I turned around and she knew exactly what was going on. )
Emma- Grace!!
Alec- Emma don't.
(She ran towards the door and I grabbed her by the waist holding her back. I just wanted to think it was okay when it wasn't at all. I wanted to think that I could help Emma and Grace when I couldn't)
Grace- Emma.. please hel-
(one of the men Grabbed her chain and put her against The cage choking her. Emma jerked out of my hands and fell to the floor screaming her name. Narix grabbed her and Emma pushed her off going out the door. )

Narix - Emma no!

Alec- Emma!

( she stopped, its like i head a control over her, she looked back and tears ran down her face.the men came closer to us. Emma ran back in side into my arms, she yelled for Grace and me trying to help her. the men had things we didnt have, there were three but yet there were 6 of us. i looked at emma and her sad innocent face. what can i do..)

Narix- what is wrong with these people just doing this to her, its like they want something. but what could we possibly have that they dont.

Ashton- maybe they want us.

Emma- we cant just let her die! and who the hell are you people..

Alec- Emma there not gonna hurt you.. just breathe.

Emma- i cant breathe my best friend is out there cover in blood and chained up for something she did, that is probably absolutely stupid.

narix- Emma were going to get her back. we cant do that to someone whose helped us to. Alec take her to your room im going to make a deal with one of these freaks.

Alec- dont do anything reckless..

Narix- reckless is just a middle name for me.

( i grab her hand and slow drag her away from the living room, she just wanted to help her. but i didnt want her getting hurt. these creatures arm strong and powerful, what in the actual hell am i going to do to stop this. we need much more then a idea for something like this. a part of me is saying go back down and help, but worried Emma will just die if they said they ha it i guess they had it. my main thing i need to do right now is watch emma shes been hurt to much and i feel like im just making it worse. )

Emma- so you listen to her now.

Alec- what do you mean.

Emma- shes been bossing you around hasnt she?

Alec- are you just jealous.

Emma- no im not.

Alec- then why ask.

Emma- becuase she seems odd.

Alec- she just wants to help.. i picked up my bag and put it on the bed.

Emma- what are you doing.

Alec-we cant stay here long we have to move.

Emma- so your leaving.

Alec- were all leaving. once this is over i want to be far away from these things, we need to find a place to go.

Emma- where are we going to go. theres no way we can make it out of here alive.

Alec- what if theres a cure. we can make one.

Emma- a cure?

Alec- yes a cure. there must be someone smart enough to fix this mess.

Emma- if your going then im going with you. there might not be a cure but.. i want to go

Alec- even if i wanted to go and you wanted to stay.. i would've stayed.

( i grab her by the waist and smile softly. she looked beautiful what ever I must do to help her I'll do it..)
