'Blonde girl- I'm never going with you! Ever! Get away!

Other blonde girl- Chloe calm down, I'm sure these people are reasonable.

Mack- Zoey's right Chloe, come with us and there won't be anymore trouble.

Blonde girl- you killed them! You killed our parents!

Mack- I did not. (Guards come back with guns)

Guard- the house is clear.

Mack- what...?

Guard- the family is disposed of.

Mack- what?! No you shouldn't hav-

Other blonde girl- Chloe...let's go, there's nothing we can do. Mack show us the way.

Blonde girl- no never! You'll have to fight me till I die before I go with you!

Mack- *sighs* okay, I'm sorry it's come to this,
(Kicks in the gut and pinches back of neck, blonde girl passes out)
Other blonde girl- what did you do?

Mack- lets go*tear rolls down cheek* now.'

I opened my eyes, another dream. That...that was Liz! That crazy blonde girl...that was Liz! And that must be Rachel...they...they did kill her parents. My heart sank, here I am responsible for another death. Her name was Chloe? ...now that I think about it...Charlotte from my other dream looked a lot...like Anna. It was Anna, I can't believe i put them all here. I had to talk to Liz! I stood up, but I looked above me...wood bars...i was in the pit, my arms wasn't patched up, and neither was my head. The blood was dry, i grabbed my metal water bottle out of my belt, they removed my weapons, I smashed the water bottle against to wooden bars. It wasn't strong enough, so my fist made contact with the wood, they snapped. I had 50 splinters now but at least I could pull myself out, why wasn't anyone guarding me? Didn't they think I could get out? I didn't care I got out. No one was out...strange. I realized...The glade was destroyed, buildings smashed, Trees toppled...what happened while I was out? I walked alittle and found the only building still intact...the homestead. I ran and opened the door, everyone was in here! Huddled in a corner, except Ella and Geo who were standing in front, they turned to look at me.
"Great, they couldn't have taken you instead?" Geo said with Narrow eyes, Ella looked relived,
"What. The heck. Happened?" I asked, Ella sighed, I searched around for Liz, Anna and Valentine. They were all in a corner,
"Greivers...you were passed out for two nights. They took two."
My mouth dropped open,
"What...? Two runners?" She shook her head,
"The walls...they won't close. They've taken one person a night. They got Frank and Rosie." My ears perked up at Rosie...she's dead? I had hated her all this time, but now that she's gone...I teared up.
"That's insane...why wouldn't the walls...?" I stopped mid-sentence...Thomas. I ran out the door, I hid under a fallen tree.
'Thomas, thomas are you there?' No reply...until a few mins later,
'Mack?! What's going on?' He said worried,

'The walls, they-'

'Aren't closing. They must've moved the date up, Mack hang in there. We'll be here tomorrow morning!' He said alerted, I was still confused but I didn't care, no death.

'Thomas! We don't have till tomorrow! They take one persona night! You have to be here before tonight!'

'We can't-'

'Please Thomas! It's really early in the morning. You can make it!' He sighed,
'I'll try. Just don't die.'

'Great, now I'm inspired.' And then I heard a russle from the tree.
