Sector: East End

Name: Emily

Age: 15

I stare as they drag Connor into the vehicle, how could Nathan do this, "please not her she hasn't done anything wrong!" Chevy is almost begging the soldiers to leave me be, It doesn't seem to be working, "Yes she has, she was here when I helped stitch Connor up". That's the masked girl, Sevanna. She turns to face Nathan, he has a shock expression, "Thank you Nathan I'm glad you told us the truth but we found him before you could hold your end up of the deal, therefore you will not get your reward". He doesn't look away from Chevy and I, "Emily? Why are you here? I thought you left the city?" I don't reply, he sold out someone who was willing to help him, he sold out his boss, he sold me out. "I'm sorry Emily. I know we ended on bad terms but i didn't know you would be here."

"You act like that makes it better!" I shout at him, "Okay that's enough, grab them both and load them into the truck". Sevanna turns around and walks out the door, two soldiers walks towards us with handcuffs in their hands, i am forced to turn around and I feel them being placed on my wrists to make sure I don't do anything.

We get put in the back of the truck and i see Connor's body sitting there with his head down, he has fallen unconscious. Chevy is the next to enter followed by two soldiers, the door is slammed shut and a lock is placed on the outside, they're doing this to make sure Connor doesn't make a escape attempt.

"I'm so sorry Emily, I didn't mean for this to happen" Chevy looks at me with a sadness in his eyes, i can't help but feel angry at Nathan and yet i still care about him. "It's fine, we're bound to get caught eventually right?" Chevy manages a small laugh. "Nathan still cares for you" great the one thing i didn't want to talk about, "can we please not talk about this again, me and Nathan didn't work we will never work," I sound harsher than I intended, "I just thought I'd tell you that one more time just in case they do decided to execute us".

The ride back was long and quite. Connor regained consciousness not to long ago but he hasn't said a word or even looked up towards Chevy and I.

"This is exactly why i don't work with anyone, they will sell you out for anything" he sounds cold and distant, It makes me worried, how can someone who was seemed so nice earlier now seem cold hearted.

The truck pulls to a stop so we must have arrived, i hear the lock on the outside being opened, one of the guards watching us gets out and aims his gun towards us, the second guard grabs Chevy and pulls him out of the truck and pushes him to the ground "you could've asked nicely"

The guard turns to me next and grabs my arm and shoves me outside the vehicle i hit the ground hard and the wind gets knocked out of me, Chevy looks on in anger but even he must know we can't do anything otherwise they would kill us on the spot.

I push myself back up onto my knees Chevy offers a hand to help me stand back up and i take it. As i stand up i see the guard unchaining Connor from the truck, he goes to grab Connors arm but he pulls his arm away "I can move myself don't put your hands on me or i'll break you hand" Connor stands up as much as he can without hitting the ceiling and jumps down onto the ground in front of us but he keeps his head down. Sevanna gets out of the passenger side of the truck and walks towards the three of us, Chevy and I are standing close to each other while Connor is separated from us.

"Welcome to your new home" Sevanna turns around and directs our attention to the capital, "So you're so scared of me breaking out instead of putting me in a normal prison you take me to your capital, that just makes escaping even better" Connor lifts his head up and stares at her, Sevanna turns around with a smile on her face while she looks Connor in his eyes, she gives a nod to one of the guards, a second later the guard behind Connor kicks him behind his knee, Connor falls onto his knees, Sevanna pulls her gun out of her holster and aims at Connors head, he doesn't flinch, "You don't break easily do you?" Sevanna has a smirk on her face as she continues to aim at Connors head "take the other two to their cells me and Connor are going to have a nice chat". The guard next to me speaks up "are you sure that's a good idea? You know how difficult he is" Sevanna looks over to him "Tarence take them to their cells now, that's an order" Tarence hesitates for a second.
