Above: A Formal Picture Of Maria

I hate violence. How could anyone do that to another human being? This is what i thought when they were dragging Dr. Botkin my only ally in this world anymore away. But i had to keep running since apparently that's all i'm good for now. I couldn't even save him when i had the chance too. Why did God let me escape? I'm no good for anyone it'd be better if i just wasn't here at all everything would be better. I would be with my family. It was supposed to be fate for me to die not to survive. These were all thoughts that went through my mind as i ran across the countryside. Finally i sat down to catch my breath my chest was heaving extremely hard. So hard i thought i was going to faint. Once i caught my breath i started having horrible thoughts again but i kept going. I don't know why i kept going i just felt like it was my goal and i had to complete it no matter what. All of a sudden a foot shot out from the tree line and i fell to the ground. Hard. It knocked all the wind out of me and i was dizzy for a few moments. When i regained my senses i saw two boys around my age standing around me in a circle. And they were identical. I groaned and i plopped my head back down on the dirt i didn't have time to deal with this. Maybe if i act dead they'll go away. Of course this was a stupid idea and i knew it wouldn't work the moment i thought of it. "Hey miss are you alright?" I wanted to say no of course i'm not OK you just tripped me and all of my family's dead like i'm supposed to be. But of course i didn't say this. "I'm fine" I said as i stood up and brushed myself off. "Now if you'll excuse me." I said as i tried to walk off. But they each grabbed one of my arms and held me back. "Now wait a minute miss. I think we should get you checked you out by the town doctor. you were running awful fast back there." "No no really i am fine." I started to panic surely someone would recognize me. "We insist." They said in perfect unison and started to drag me back to their town.
