Karolyne repeated the numbers in her head, trying to memorize her only lifeline.

2054293-

"Karol?" she heard to her left.

"Yes?" Karolyne replied innocently, turning slowly to face the familiar  voice.

"What are you doing?"

She turned and looked into the light brown eyes of her bestfriend.

"Looking for you. What're you doing?"

She asked snottily, sticking her tounge out and putting her hands on her waist.

He crossed his scrawny arms over his chest and scowled.

"Why do you have your emergency backpack?"

He asked angrily, grabbing it from her and putting it onto his back.

"I have 100. Luc we can leave! We can go see my cousin!"

He frowned, scowling again, and looking out to the clouds.

"I'll go pack."

He turned to face her and smiled softly, reaching back to grab her hand.

"I have my 100, and I found three dollars on the street."

His eyes lit up and he smiled down to his friend as her eyes widened in excitement.

He pulled her to the side of the dirt road, turning and smirking.

"What?"

She asked, looking around the road, expecting to see something amazing.

"Race you." Luc yelled as he turned and fled down the street, Karolyne jumping and running right behind him.

Inside of Lucas' tio's house, Luc turned to Karolyne, grabbing her hand again and pressing his free finger to his cracked lips.

She nodded in silent understanding and followed behind him.

"LUCAS? IS THAT YOU?"

A masculine voice shouted from somewhere to their right- probably the kitchen.

"Yes, Tio! I'm coming!"

Lucas turned to Karolyne and motioned for her to go hide in the room, turning and scurrying towards the sound of the voice.

She ran into the room, sliding herself under the bed as quietly as she could, her ears strained, trying to hear the conversation going on in the next room.

"Yes.... A job.... go get your..... I don't care.... Hurry up!"

Lucas ran into the room, turning on the light and dropping himself to the floor, looking straight into the eyes of his friend.

"I have to go.... I'll be back later... Get your backpack and meet me at the waterfall!"

Karolyne scarmbled out from under the bed, turning in circles until she found her dark green backpack.

"Okay Luc, but I'm not going to stay there all night!" She warned, pointing her dirty finger in his face.

He laughed quietly, and turned to push her out of the room.

"It won't take that long."

Karolyne turned and quietly tip-toed out of the house, turning to her right and running into the dark, un-inviting woods.

Karolyne was cold.

She was shivering.

She was Alone.

Lucas' eyes widened, looking at the knife his uncle handed him.

"But, tio!"

"Shut up you little peice of shit! You need to man up if you want to be in the m13's when you get older!"

Lucas looked down at the ground, gripping the handle of the worn knife in his hands.

"Yes, tio."

He walked out of the house, turning and walking into the backyard, seeing a boy a few years older than him, his eyes wide in fear as two older men held him up.

"Go on, Luc."

The man on the left said to him, nodding as the left one finished his sentance.

"The first time is always the worst."

He walked up to the boy his age, his eyes burning as tears threatened to spill out of them.

"I'm sorry."

He whispered as he plunged the knife deep into the boy's chest.
