And ran. And ran. We went to the closest hide out, which....was evidently another set of stairs. God we chose such terrible hideouts. Until now Michaela had said nothing, but she suddenly spoke up with "We can't stay here. We'll be accountable for her death, you realize this right?!" I think she was right but I don't know. I didn't know anything about anything at that moment.  I just lay with Shannon, in utter silence, save for a few struggling breaths. Marley and Hollie were looking at the lights, I didn't know why until Marley pointed out something....vital.  "These have all been tampered with. One tap and-" she knocked on one, and out it went.

"But what does that have to do with anything Marley. How could tampered lights cause Anna's death" Reuel was pacing, obviously uneasy. Hollie locked eyes with Michaela, and said something non of us would have come to conclude "What if someone here pushed her when the lights went out." "What are you trying to say" Michaela growled, standing up and storming over to her. I grabbed her wrist, pulling her back "Hey lets not accuse anyone! Anna probably got scared and sli-" I was cut off by Hollie and Michaela starting up a screaming match, with Shannon trying to pry them apart.

I wasnt focusing on the arguing. All I could hear was the quiet shuck of a window opening.
