 I am still lying on my bed crying while Mattie and Pattie watch Seamus, but I'm also watching my friends drive to the underground base. It terrifies me that all my best friends are in grave danger, and I can't do anything to protect them. I think I should go tell Gregor to get the backup ready to go.

I get out of my bed, and leave my room. I walk down to the mess hall. I find only Lilith, she's eating cheerios. "Do you know where I could find Gregor?" I question. "Yes, why do you need him?" Lilith responds. "The battle is close," I squeak. "Can I watch too?" Lilith speaks. "I don't really know if you should," I mumble.

Lilith walks over to me and puts a hand on my shoulder. "You and Gregor both have loved ones in that battle. You'll need someone there to make sure no rash decisions are made," Lilith advises. I guess that makes sense, kind of. "Okay" I mutter.

Lilith leads me down the hall, we enter a bedroom where Gregor sits at a small metal desk. "It's beginning," I speak. Gregor nods for me to set my laptop on his desk.

I set my laptop down and open it up. They're still driving, they will drive for another hour or so. After the drive they'll hike up to an opening in a large mountain. Once they get there, the battle will start.

"I'll call for the backup, they won't intervene until needed," Gregor reports. "Okay you can do that now," I speak. I am a little out of character, I'm extra nervous.

I look onto the screen, it could be one of the last times I see some of my friends. Cannon's leaning on Rylee and Rylee's leaning on Teagan. Brynn's taking a nap, I swear she can sleep anywhere, and Alex is staring into the abyss.

Teagan and Rylee are holding hands, I hope my friends watch out for each other. I actually know that they have each other's backs, even if it'll cost their own life.
