A/N:Hey guys, just thought I'd update again. Hope you guys like it. That's blaze up there. Here goes the chapter.

Ashley's POV

   Ever wondered what would happen if we didn't exist. What if the commander decides to just beat everyone to death? What if we never get redemption from this life that was chosen for us? What is death? No one knows what happens after death cause no one ever lives to tell the tale? Sometimes we wish and pray for death but it never comes but at the time we least expect it it strikes like a shadow lurking in the dark, but mostly to the people who wish it the most, death never seems to cross their paths.

   I shifted on the ground getting comfortable with a blindfold around my eyes counting today as the 73rd day I've been blindfolded. It was hard to get used to at first but after a little time, I got used to the darkness making my other senses highten, that's the whole purpose of the exercise. I heard as two people walked towards my room. We were all kept in different rooms so there'd be no sort of distraction. I heard metal shift across the ground as the footsteps faded away. I crawled exactly five steps towards the door, trust me I stepped in my food more times than you can imagine. I felt around for a while before finding my food. I pulled it towards me and sniffed at it, it was spaghetti. I shifted the plate and listened for the slightest rattle and as soon as I heard it, I picked up my fork and started eating.

As soon as I was done, I placed the tray at the entrance and sat back down in the corner. I heard as footsteps stopped in front of my door and keys jiggled as the door was slammed open. They weren't supposed to be in hear but I have no idea why they're here.

"Hey bitch, let's have a little fun shall we? "I heard the voice say. The person reeked of alcohol and I could tell they were two by the stepping pattern. I stood up and faced their general area, that wanted me to take off this blindfold but I won't, the commander would have my head.

"Stubborn huh crazy bitch"one of them said, except that this one didn't reek of alcohol but sweat. I heard the swish of something coming towards me as I caught it. It was the reeking alcohol guy's hand. I twisted his arm painfully as a sharp pain hit me in the back. Shit Ashley keep your guard up.

"We have the advantage of seeing bitch"one of the guys said, kicking me behind my knees sending me to the ground.

     Sometimes I wish I could just get a glimpse of death, see how it feels like. Would I be free or would I feel more entrapped than ever? I want to know what it feels like but I know once I GI there's no coming back and I'm not done with this hellhole called life.

************************************

I dragged my hoodie down as I walked home. I just ended my shift at lily's and it was tiring, I mean everything hurts and with my mum out of town chris will barely come over and maybe have peace and quiet this week.

"Hey puppy"I heard. So much for peace and quiet. I rolled my eyes and folded my arms.

"I told you to stop call....... "I turned and cut myself off when I saw Wesley standing behind me. Man not only Brainy but even I am slacking off. How could I think Wesley's voice is max's? I pulled down my hoodie and glared at him in my mind. The bastard almost made the commander kill me, motherfucking son of a bitch, I wish I could strangle him and cut his head off and maybe add it to my collection. I smiled slightly at the thought.

"Hey you listening to me? "I heard Wesley ask as he waved his fingers in my face.

"Yes "I said in a small voice. He sighed and rolled his eyes.

"Just come with me and don't speak to anyone in the house"he said as he dragged me to his house and passed through everyone without a second look. I followed helplessly since he was dragging me. I smiled a slightly at Emily as he shoved me in his room and slammed the door shut.

"Why am I here? "I asked in a small voice because I really don't understand why I'm here. This is this bastards house that as the devil wants to help us, nothing useful was here. Why am I here anyways?

"Because one you're my maid, two the last tine you were here I don't know how I fell asleep but when I woke up you were gone and thirdly I need a favor "he said. I hated the first reason, the second reason, eh I should probably ignore it and act as if I didn't hear it.

"What favor? "I asked. He was very nervous, even though he didn't let it show. What could be so nerve wrecking for the almighty Wesley? Am I missing something? Its very suspicious.

"If I ask for this favor, you help me, you don't complain and you forget all about it and no taking pics"he said and I raised my hands and smirked under my hood. I could take a picture without lifting a finger Wesley.

"What do I get in return? "I asked shyly. He smirked at me lifting his left eyebrow as high as possible.

"Negotiating huh, what'd you want? "He asked. I but my lips and thought hard. I needed to ask something that won't give any hints and I got it.

"I want you to delete that embarrassing picture of me "I said and he smirked. Typical play boy.

"Ok deal "he said. He walked into his closet leaving me in his room.

"Kp, Brainy already figured out the location and now he's already making sure its the right place so we can be ready by next week "blaze said.

"Ok"I said simply before cutting connection. This is why I may not win this election. Its so hard for them to accept that someone younger is going to be their boss. I was glad blaze even agreed to help us in this mission. Wesley came back out with his arms stretched out with a baby blue shirt and a another brown shirt. I looked at him confused and he started to explain.

"There's this girl named diamond, I really  want her as mine but I've hurt her before, so now she invited me herself to come see her next week and now um I'm kinda nervous and don't know what to do. So even though you're weird, do you prefer the blue shirt or the brown one"he said.

    Wait what in hell just happened? Wesley us asking me to pick a shirt because he thinks I'm asking him out on a date and he wants to make me his and he's nervous.

     Oh you have got to be kidding me.
