Prologue

I never noticed how much your life could change in a step.

One step could kill a person.
Or save a person.
Or both.
I would know.

Chapter 1: Fit
“Emma Evergrens, you have just won a high definition plasma tela…
….” “Allison” Mr. Butt sorry Bott interrupted my day dream. “Paleo
Indians” she replied. Wondering who I am I guess? Yes? Ok. I am
Emma Evergrens a Straight C student at Hemakii Middle in Hawaii. I
am a 6th grader here. My best friends are Alison Sealie and Sydney
Amsterdam. Ms. Know-It-All and Ms. Sporty-Mc-Sports-A lot. We
have been since Presch… “Mandy” OMG you butt stop interrupting
me! “Emma” “WHAT?” I screamed. Whoops. Everyone was staring at
me. “ I meant.. Um….” My phone vibrated. I glanced down,
relieved. Sydney text me.
Mr. Butt, lol, said name 1 prehistoric
N.A. thing say Cherokee
Sydney
Cool huh, I downloaded it from zap
Phones!
“um, I meant Cherokee.” I blushed. “ hmm… wow that’s right. Good
job Emma!” Replied the butt. All of a sudden someone started an
outburst of laughing. Brandon. I turned around and approved my
assumption. “This is a once in a lifetime opportunity!” He chuckled.
If he wants to keep laughing I know how to make him the one being
laughed at. “At least I’m not in love with Macy!” I screamed. That
did it. By the way, Macy is this weird Emo/Goth that all
freakydespair. Amanda started to crack up at Macy’s expression.
Sydney actually fell on the floor from laughing so hard. Priceless. I
got out my phone and text Sydney.
Did you record this? Plz if u didn’t!!!!
I started to tap my foot. “I can’t believe it! I mean Macy is in Love
with Brandon! Woops…” Yelled Sydney. Literally, Yelled. Macy turned
so red she looked like a apple. I giggled. She has a bit of a temper I
should mention. “DON’T LAUGH!” she screamed at me. Told you.
“Oh shut up twinkle toes . Go do a little twirl girl!” I replied. I have
good ends to gossip, and no one knows that Macy takes ballet, I
mean gothic ballerina? Thats good gossip. “What is she talking about
Mace?” Wondered her best friend, Zella. “um, I take…” she started
glumly. “Ballet!” me and Sydney shouted. Allison started to hum
Swan Lake. Again, Priceless. “Seriously!” asked Nyssa, shocked.
“yes” She sighed. “NO ONE WOULD NO IF YOU DIDN’T GOSSIP ABOUT
PEOPLE YOU HAGS!” Macy shouted at me, Sydney, and Allison. My
cell vibrated, I checked my phone, 2 new messages. I opened the
first one from Allison,
I wonder why Mr. Bott isn’t back yet.
I quickly replied,
Idk
Then I opened my one from Sydney,
Yep
My reply,
Great
I was brought back from phone land by Macy shouting, “I AM NOT
EMO YOU HAG!” haha “Leave her ALONE you little ballerina! I can
break you like the twig you are!” Shouted Allison. Allison is one
smart girl, kinda nerdy, but she’s got some backbone. “Hey Macy,
I’m surprised at your intense vocabulary!” I said bemused. “what?”
she stuttered. “I mean I know how your flunking grammar” I
reminded her. There was a bunch of “oh no she didn’t!” and “ooh!”
from the girls. All the guys were chanting, “Cat fight! Cat fight!”
Idiots. Then she lunged. Seriously, she jumped on me and pulled my
hair. I punched her in the nose and she fell with a little, clunk to
the floor. “Sydney! Look away!” I commanded. She covered her
eyes. Macy was bleeding, Alot. Macy was actually crying. I thought.
She jumped up and ran out the door as soon as the Butt returned.
After everyone settled down, Mr. Butt started to go on and on and
on….

Chapter 2 Glass
Let the bell ring, let the bell ring…. Bddddding!
Yay! I raced out the door to my locker. By the way, I’m Sydney
Rogers A.K.A President of student council, girls basketball, and girls
soccer. I have a very sweet life.” Hey Syd” Called Emma as she
walked over to me. “Hiya!” I replied. “ready to go?” she asked as
she headed to the gym. I took one step to far. “OW!” I screamed as
something sharp cut into my knee. “Sydney!” Emma rushed over to
me. I usually don’t cry but tears were poring down my cheeks. It
felt like someone was lighting it on fire. I hugged my wound, when
something wet appeared on my hand. Blood. The fowl smell was
making me dizzy. I quickly mumbled, “get the nurse.” Then
everything went black.
And Sydney has won the Olympic gold medal for….. “Sydney!”
Allison interrupted my dream. Right then I remembered what
happened. I screamed. My eyes popped open. “My knee my knee!” I
shuddered when I moved my injury. It was a piercing wave of pure
torture. “what happened?” I mumbled. “ oh Sydney!” The girls
wrapped there arms around me. “a piece of glass cut into your
knee” The nurse, Mrs. Cumin replied.
“Well I got to go if I’m going to make it to basket ball practice.” I
said as I started to get up. My friends glanced at my knee. No “NO!”
I screamed while angry tears rolled down my face. They weren’t
going to let me play. This was my life! “No, you need crutches and a
brace.” No they couldn’t make me! “Emma! Allison!” I begged, they
just shook there heads. I couldn’t believe them. I ignored the pain
in my knee as I jumped up and ran out the door, tears and all. I
didn’t hear them calling my name, I got to my bike but I ignored it.
I just ran into the woods to the lake. I didn’t stop there I jumped in
and swam. The icy waters were refreshing in an odd way. I tried to
block out the thoughts that were like, Your not going to play basket
ball this season, your letting your team down, your practically
handi-capped I mean my friends didn’t even help me! I guess no one
likes me anymore. I shouldn’t let myself suffer like this. I got out
and lied down on the grass. I can’t believe all the times I’ve been
here. Whenever I was upset I came here. I laughed at how stupid I
was, I couldn’t stay here forever. Or could I? No, I would get better.
Still if my friends don’t care about me I shouldn’t care about them.
Anyway I got my phone and replayed the seen from Social Studies
class. I couldn’t help myself from laughing out loud. I didn’t notice
the fact that I fell asleep. Well duh! I was asleep. I awoke to the
sound of my name “Sydney!” I slowly opened my eyes. Crap! I saw
my sister, Lillie, along with Emma, Allison, and there big sisters,
Gwendolyn and Bella. “Over Here!” I called. I knew I was a little
weak, and dizzy. I didn’t see it when Lillie picked me up. I fell back
into a dreamless sleep.

Chapter 3: Email
La duh day, I hummed. “ Allison! Can you hand me my phone?”
asked Sydney. “Ya!” I replied. Poor Sydney. She has been so helpless
lately, so, I don’t know, not here. I tossed her, her Verizon Dare and
went back into the kitchen. I peeked at Sydney’s knee and that got
me thinking, Where did the glass come from? Who threw it…? Ding
Dong! “Come in!” I shouted. “M, over here!” I called when she
walked in. “What’s up buttercup?” She smirked. “just wondering
about Sydney. Who threw that freaking piece of glass that could
have killed Sydney if it went a little higher?” She pouted. Emma. I
shook my head. “I don’t”
she finally replied. La La Land! Buzzed my phone. I checked it, one
new email.
Dear Loser,
Blood is red,
Guts are blue,
These things
will be all over
You
Like my poem? Okay get this good. Sydney was first now your next.
And your precious Emma will be after you. I will light you on fire
and dance around your ashes.
I hate you,
???
After I read it my phone slid through my hands. “Allison?” Emma
worried. She picked up my phone and read the email.
Honestly I don’t know why, I’m usually calm, when just my luck. I
fainted.

Chapter 4: Who?
Allison!” yelled a familiar voice. “huh?” I mumbled. I opened my
eyes and sat up. The girls were giddy with relief. “Sorry ’bout
that.” I blushed. “were just glad your okay!” rambled Emma. I
stood all the way up and began to pace. “Okay, down to business,
who is sending this?” I held out my phone. “Brandon?” guessed
Emma. “Amanda?” guessed Sydney. “No and No. Brandon only hates
Emma. Amanda is way to nice.” I thought and then it came to me.
“Carmen!” Sydney’s mouth dropped open with a little, pop! Noise.
“She was just saying earlier, about how someone should make
Sydney handy-caped.” Emma rolled her eyes. “That bit of cheese!”
she screamed with a slightly scared, and furious expression. “we
don’t know what she’s capable of.” I reminded them. “what ev!
Emma blew it off. She annoys me so much sometimes….. “well we
should keep a eye on her.” I finished.

Chapter 5 Feeling
It began like any other day. I got up, went to school, worked hard,
and school ended. I couldn’t help the feeling I had after my
academic practice at the end of the day. Like someone was
watching me.
***
“Emma its true!” I whined. “I think someone’s watching me!” Emma
just shrugged. “ I think my best friend is going insane.” She giggled.
Sydney tried to hide a smile. “OMG!” I exclaimed. “you never
listen!” I stormed away. I could swear that someone was like,
following me. Am I going insane? No. I just mumbled myself threw
the rest of the school day, feeling disgruntled.
It wasn’t until after my Academic practice that I felt sick to my
stomach. I was all alone, but it didn’t feel like it. I hurriedly got my
books from my locker, when I heard the sound of sneakers on the
floor. I turned around and screamed. The last thing I saw was
someone in a pink coat, and felt a blow to my head.
“Its….all…my…FAULT! I screamed between sobs. I had Allison in my
arms. Let me back up. I got to school early this morning to do my
homework I left at school. No one else was there. Well, my locker is
by Allison’s, and that’s when I found her. She was out cold on the
ground, a huge bruise on her forehead, and a note. “OH MY GOD!” I
gasped. I Opened the note,
Dear loser,
I wasn’t kidding. I got Allison and Sydney. Guess who’s next? You.
Watch out. By the way, Allison was right. I was following her.
Me
I screamed. “ALLISON! PLEASE WAKE UP! I’M SORRY! PLEASE!” It was
then when teachers and students started showing up. My cries
turned into sobs. “SOMEBODY, HELP ME! PLEASE! OH GOD ALLISON!”
Thankfully, Mr. Butt was passing by. He heard my scream and raced
over. “Oh my!” he gasped. Now back to the present. “its…all…my…
FAULT!” I screamed again. “SOMEONE CALL 911!” He shouted. “OH
GOD!” I screamed. Kids started surrounding us. I moved by hand
from the back of her head and saw that it was covered in blood. I
screamed again. A teacher walked up to me and said, “Give me her”
I sobbed, “NO!” I head another blood curdling scream. “ALLISON! ”
Sydney fell on her knees. I shoved the note in her face. “read” I
commanded lifelessly. I can’t believe this! She was right all along! If
someone did this, than it would be worse for me. “OH GOD!” I
screamed again. Eventually, and ambulance showed up and took her
out on a stretcher. They said she had a concussion, and got knocked
out. The concussion turned into a coma, and it was all my fault.

Chapter 6: Dream
It could’ve been days, weeks, or months passing by, I wouldn’t of
noticed. Life meant nothing now. I woke up screaming every night,
from the same nightmare. Allison in my arms. The vision haunted
me, because it was all my fault. I missed weeks of school, I
wouldn’t eat, my grades were slipping. (even more) Today was
different. I was forced to go to school, and somewhere in biology I
fell asleep. My dream was so vivid…
“Bailee! Shut up!” What the? Why was my sister yelling at Bailee?
“Sorry!” she snickered. “we’ve been out here for 5 weeks and I’ve
only eaten berries!” she yelled. What was going on? Where were
they? Okay, officially creepy. “I CAN”T BELIEVE THIS!” Cried Bailee.
“Lillie is in the hospital, were lost, and Tess…is…is…dead” she
choked on the last word. “I have no clue where Gwen and Caci are!
Were going to die!” a tear escaped Bella’s eye. “my mom an dad,
my…my..sister!” She cried. “Why didn’t I listen to her! Its bad
enough for them! Why make my sister guilty for not convincing me!”
What is going on? Bella feels guilty? I must be going insane! Wait,
that’s what I told Allison, and she wasn’t what if this mean
something…? Out of nowhere the dream shifted. I saw a girls lifeless
body on the ground. Gwendalin walked in and screamed. Another
person was in the shadows, holding a gun, and off went the
trigger…..
I screamed back into reality. I opened my eyes feeling
dismembered. Like not every part of my was here. My eyes viewed
the scene in front of me. I was on the floor of the biology lab. I felt
someone lift me up but I didn’t bother to check who. I was in a
daze. I knew the girl holding the gun. It was Caci! Now what did
that mean? I had no clue. All I knew was that I fainted somewhere in
there.
Chapter 7: Sympathize
“Jack! It happened again! She fell asleep in class, woke up
screaming, and fainted after that!” My mom informed my dad.
“This is getting out of hand! My daughter looks bulimic for crying
out loud!” Huh. I look bulimic? Wow. My mom started to cry on my
dad’s shoulder. “Honey, its okay.” He soothed her. “She’s going
through some emotional stuff. Maybe we should try therapy…..?” He
wondered. That was it. “NO!” I shouted. “Emma!?!” Asked my mom,
shocked. “I WAS AWAKE THE WHOLE TIME!” I screamed. My mom
kept on crying. “YOU CALL YOURSELF A MOTHER!?” I asked her
furiously. “I CAN’T BELIEVE IT! YOU JUST DON’T GET IT!” My mom’s
cries turned into sobs. “You do not talk to your mother life that!”
snapped my dad. “SHUT UP! I CAN TALK TO HER LIKE THAT IF I WANT
“FATHER” I screamed. “YOUR MORE LIKE MY JAILER!” UGH THEY
DON'T GET ANYTHING! “I HATE YOU!” I yelled as I ran up to my
room. I slammed the door. I sat down in a corner and cried.
Someone knocked on my door. I mumbled, “go away!” through
my cries. Lillie peeked in through a crack in the door. “Hello” she
began. “Oh hi Lillie” I used my sleeve to wipe my face off. “I’m
sorry” I apologized. She looked at me kindly, and sat down next to
my on the floor. “You know what happened to Sydney and Allison.”
It wasn’t really a question, but I still replied. “Yes” I finally
admitted . “What happened?” she asked. I explained every little
detail. She just sat that quietly while I cried and yelled. “Can I see
the email and note?” she asked at a time. “Ya” I handed it to her
and showed her my cell. She gasped, but didn’t interrupt again. “
Do you know who is sending this?” She wondered when i finished.
“No” I looked down. “Its okay!” She comforted me. “But I….its….I’M
NEXT!” I cried on her shoulder, ruining her outfit with saltwater. She
just rubbed my back. “Don’t worry.” She finally said.
"Lillie?" I called. "ya Syd?" she walked in and sat on my bed,
next to me. "Can we talk?" Lillie sighed. "I'm so sorry sis! I'm worried
about you Emma, and Allison!" Crap! "Why ar-" Lillie interupted me.
"I know. Emma spilled." she smirked. I internally groaned. "Why
didn't you tell me?" How to explain...? "We will rock you!" rang my
phone. "Hold on Lilz" I picked up my cell. "Hello?" I asked into the
reciever. "Say, oh hi grandma or else." I gulped this is balckmail. I'm
going to die! oh.. hi....grand...grandma." I stuttered.

Chapter 8: Deal
"I am not doing this Blake." I insisted. "We had a deal." he
growled. Why did i promise to do this? Or deal was simple, I get to
borrow his gun and crowbar in exchange for a favour. I didn't expect
this favor. I had to..to..to kill a girl i had nothing against. I didn't
even plan to kill that brat Emma! I was on the edge of
hyperventalating. I mean, I slashed Sydney's knee, put Allison in a
coma by a crowbar, and i was planning to shoot Emma. Not kill.
Shoot. Why did i agree to this again? Oh right, because i'm an idiot.
I sighed and handed him the money i mugged from a little kid, and
he handed me his gun in exchange.
It had to happen like this. I heard a peice of metal drop. So i
acted to defend myself. I took the loaded gun in my hand and shot.
I heard 4 gasps and a blood curdaling scream. "YOU MONTSER!"
Yelled Bailee. "Lillie!" Gasped Gwenalin through her tears. OMG i
shot a person. I felt like crying. I had not 1 thing against Lillie, and I
shot her. She even helped me! She used to be my friend when i was
new here. I wanted to call the police and ask them to arrest me,
but i Didn't. I grabbed Caci and Put the gun to her head, and locked
her in my arms. "Anybody move, and she dies. " I hissed. Blake
grinned evily. "So its you again honey." he purred. "Get away from
me!" Gwendalin screamed. "Get them!" Ordered Blake. Tristan,
Zella, Joe, Anthony, and Arra grabbed the girls and taped there
mouths shut. Zella picked up Lillie carefully. "Blake what do we so
with her?" she asked. "whatever you want" he implied. Then he
looked at the others. "Get them in the car." He got in the drivers
seat of his old surburban while the guys put the hostages in the
truck.
Zella soothed Lillie while she thrashed and and cried. I got a
good look at her, i didn't shoot her in any important organ,
thankfully. Just the shoulder. She looked at me, her look was of
fear, hatred, kindness (like always), and pain. Pain that i caused to
an old friend. I was a terrible person. I hated myself more than
Blake. "Zella? What are you going to do with Lillie." I asked
nervously. I knew she wouldn't hurt her. She was kind. Kinda yippy.
she smiled. I looked at Lillie. "Lillie, i am so sorry! I didn't know it
was you! I am sorry about Sydney too! I did that! I know you must
hate me! I do to!" I cried. I fell to my knees. The others were gone.
"I don't know what there going to do with the others. I will try with
every once of my black heart to save them!"
she had the smile look in her eyes above the pain. "I am going to sit
you here Lillie and use the phone to call the police. I know where
there going, Dead Man's Cabin. The license plate number is HTV 839
got it?" Lillie nodded. "You can't tell anyone about who told you this
or they will kill me, and the police will arrest Macy" she glanced at
me. She got Lillie's cell and dialled 911. "Bye Lillie get well" Zella
smiled. I mouthed "I'm so sorry!" at her one more time and we
dashed for it. We were 6 blocks away when i heard the sirens.
"Good they got to her." I mumbled to myself. "Ya" Zella replied.
"Zell?" I asked. "yes Macy?" I gulped. "Am I a terrible person?" Zella
smiled. "No. I can see that you care for Lillie. You said that you
would risk your life to save her friends." She said thoughtfully. A
smile played on my lips. "I'm supposed to kill Them you know." I told
her. "I know"

Chapter 9: Plan
When we were fully out of that part of town, i cut through the
woods to Emma's house. I took out a mini mear i snagged from a
chick, and wiped off my make-up. Once i was make-up free i took
off my trench coat and everyone could see my white t-shirt, and
jeans. I knocked on her door, and her mother walked out. "Hello, is
Emma here?" I asked sweetly. She smiled a smile which i returned.
'Yes hold on a moment please." she walked inside and yelled,
"EMMA! DOOR!" Emma walked out and scowled at what she saw.
"Macy what do you want?" she asked annoyed. "To talk to you" I said
flatly. I grabbed her arm and tugged her to the woods. "Your sister
has been captured by my gang. I shot Lillie,By accident!" I implied
when she stood there like the idiot she is, mouth hanging open.
"There taking her and the rest of her firends to Dead Man's Cabin.
By the way, sorry for hurting sydney with the glass and hitting
Allison with a crowbar." i added at the end. "You what?" she
squeaked. "I am supposed to be with my gang, about to kill Tess,
Gwen, Bailee, Bella, and Caci at Dead man's Cabin!" I whisper-
yelled. Jeeze does she listen! "I had a dream about this!" she cried.
I warned Bella to stay with her friends, and now her and her friends
are about to be killed." Emma Cried. "I Promised Lillie that i would
save them! and i am not breaking that promise. She looked up at
me with tear-filled eyes. "You what?" she whispered. I explained
everything thast happened. She finally looked at me with eyes of
indulgance. Honor.
"Macy, is this plan full proof?" I wondered. I just figured out
that Macy was about to shoot me, when Bella and her friends
walked by the alley her gang was in. Macy accidently shot Lillie,
and her gang took the other girls (including my sister) to Dead MAn's
Cabin. Good News: I new where Bella and BAilee would be, I had
the dream again, and i saw Bailee's golden, bejewled Diamond
Watch, with a street sign in the middle of nowhere. It showed that
my dream took place at 2:19 at old not used, Root 4, Hidden Valley
highway, in Honolulu. The plan was that I would find Bailee and
Bella and get them home. They would Tell us what was going on.
And I would get Caci, and Gwenalin home, the next day, an hour
later. I would bring Tess's body to her parents. We would turn the
Gang in, Not including Zella and Macy (mabey). I knew that it took
place on January 4th, in 6 weeks. Bad News: Gwen gets shot, Tess
dies, We might die saving them. So ya.

* * * * *
* * * * *

6 weeks later...

"Its time!" Macy Yelled. We have been walking to Bailee and

Bells location for 3 days. I have a grid map, and a compass. It was
time. I took 3 more steps into the bushes when finally, i was
reunited with my sister. "Well sorry!" snickered Bailee. I was to
happy to listen to Bailee. 'Put a sock in it Bailee!" I cried. "Emma?"
asked Bella and Baille in perfect harmony. "Yes" a tear escaped my
eye. "Bella!" I ran into her arms when Bailee Yelled, "GET AWAY
FROM US!" I sadly, glanced away from my favorite (and only) sister
to see Bailee yelling at Macy. 'Stop it!" I ordered. I rann in between
them. "Shes the one who got me here." Bailee glared at us. Bella
just hugged me again and kissed my forhead. "What happened?" I
asked Bella. We all sat down and Bella told the story...
"We were thrown into the nasty suburban, when they tied our
hands together. We were all freaking out, especially Tess." She
looked painfully sad as she mentioned her. "Tess told them that she
would call the police so..so...so... they killed her." she choked out.
I gasped in horror. "Then we all freaked out and sobbed for tess.
They dumped us in this old rotten camper. Bailee used her hair pin
to pick the lock. We all ran free. We heard them, so we all split up.
Gwendalin went one way and me and Bailee went the other. They
put Tess's body somewhere else. I don't know where. Caci followed
Gwendalin. We wondered for days and found this old creek full of
fresh water, so we stayed here. When we were in the suburban, i
forgot to mention. They cut caci in the arm. Me on the stomach,
and Bailee on the leg. Gwen got burnt. It was excuruciating. We all
screamed in pain, they laughed at us." I sat there in my sister's arms
horrified. I saw the cut mark on her stomach. The bottom of her
Tube-top was all shredded. She had a huge cut down her kneck. She
had one pant-leg left, and no shoes or socks. Her hair was all
knotted. Poor thing. Bailee had one boot, a huge tear down the
middle of her designer skirt. There was a big bloody cut inside of it.
The was blood on her foot. She hadno jacket, just a spagetti string
shirt. red of course. I had flip-flops, A hoodie and long sleeved shirt.
I also had 2 pairs of pants on. I handed Bella my extra pair of sweats
and my flip flops. I gave Bailee my hoodie. They both smiled at me.
"Want any food?" I offered them each a sandwhich and a juice
bottle. "Thank you so much!" They dug in. I smiled. 2 down, 3 to go.
Chapter 10: Funeral
"Would anybody like to say a few words?" The minister asked. I
raised my hand. "Emma was a great friend. My Best. She was
unselfish and funny. A delight to have around." I cried. "I hope that
she found her sister in heaven. I would also like to say, that I might
not know Tess, Gwendalin, Bailee, Macy, and Bella as well as Emma.
I will still mourn for there souls, that now rise to the heavens. A-
men" I cried. I couldn't believe it. My sister got shot. My Best friend
is missing, reported dead, along with her sister and there friends. I
couldn't believe it. They finally got them. I fell to my knees and
cried. I got up and sat back down. Brandon got up next. "I might
have messed with Emma. HAd fun with her, but i don't hate her. I
loved her. I will never get to make up to her what pain i might of
inflicked. I will mourn for the girl that will never know that i loved
her. Emily Jennifer Evergrens I love you!" He cried and sat back
down. Up next was Emma and Bella's mother and Father. "We loved
both of our little girls. If you have gotten lost, we are sorry for not
leading the way. If you were killed, your murders will be avenged. If
your still out there, I love you AnnaBella Molly Evergrens and Emily
Jennifer Evergrens. We love you. May god always protect your souls,
wether there are in heaven or still on earth." Her mother sobbed.
Her father cried silently. Up next was Allison's mother and father.
"We know one of our daughters is alive, fighting for her life it may
be, but alive. But we will always mourn our poor Gwendalain Marie
Sealie. May you rest in peace our daughter." there was so many
cries. Mourners for the lost souls. I was one of them. I never
expected Macy to go missing. I still cried for her. I spoke again. 'I
said many hateful things to Kaitlyn Anne Macy Holina. I called her
gothic and emo. Things that i will never be able to take back. I hate
myself for ever thinking those things, let alone saying. I've
embarassed her beyond repair. May in many lives that i owe you,
including mine, you will forgive my terrible sins." The caskets were
lowered into the ground. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 I cried. My life was over. I lost
what i tried to protect. I won a battle, but lost the war.

Chapter 11: Escape

 "Bella?" I hugged her tighter. "yes my favorite sister?" she
replied. " If i die, i want you to know, you get all my stuff." she
smiled. "I'll remember that" she turned serious. "Did you here that?"
I listened closely. I heard the sound of snapping twigs. "Its them!" I
cried silently.
I woke up the other 2 and told them. we picked up our bags and
ditched that resort By about, 6:57 A.M. It was light enough for me
to see the grid map. we were 3 1/2 hours away from Dead Man's
Cabin. I explained to Bailee my dream, along the way. We
eventually took a lunch break in a feild by the woods. We didn't
expect this. Out of nowhere, Bailee screamed. I worridely glanced
at her. One of the freaking gang members had her! I check through
my knapsack quickly,
Tyelenol, no. Bandages, no. Juice, no. Pepper spray! I quickly took
the king sized (don't mock me!) bottle of pepper spary and sparyed
it directly in the idiots eyes, I think his name was Tristan's. "Ugh!" he
stumbled backward, a side affect from the pain, right into a river.
No one shed a tear for that dead man. too Bad he wasn't alone. Arra
had a pocket knife. She came storming out of the bushes, weapon
raiseed at me. I was going to die!
"Macy heads up!" Bella called. I caught a.....frozen bra? Well
anyway, I took my odd weapon and it hit Arra directly in the back of
the head. Down she went. Sucker! Hehe! i rock! Emma doubled
down in pain. "Emma!?!" i asked worried. I raced over to her. Oh my
freaking gawd! the dagger was in her for arm. Not to deep. "EMY!?"
Bella picked up her sister in her arms. "It hurts Bell!" she cried. I
thought back to school. I searched through my knapsack, Mr. Naps
(oh give me a break! I was 5 when i got it!) and dug out some gohs,
and gloves. I put a furry thing in my pocket and walked over to
emma and Bella. "Put her down." I ordered. Bella, softly placed her
on the forsest floor. "Emma this willh urt alot, but i'm sorry!" I put
on the gloves, and grasped that dagger. I heaved, and Emma
screamed something so ear peeircingly high. Ugh I got the stiches
and quickly stiched up her wound, put the fuzzy thing on it, and
wrapped it in gohs. "Emma you okay?" I asked. "In alot of pain." she
wheezed. "We need to get going. Can you carry her AnnaBella? I
asked. She nodded. We got everything together and hit the trail. We
escaped.
Chapter 12: Trail
We got back on the trail at last. We were exactly 11.9 miles
away from Dead Man's Cabin, and we had 4 hours to get there.I
Read the map now, since Emma Kept screaming ever 5 seconds.
"Lets pick up the pace!" I kept yelling. We were fully running now. I
was going to keep my promise to Lillie, no matter what.

It felt like a long, dreamless sleep. I opened my eyes. Got my

purse, changed out of the hospital gown, and walked out the door. I
flagged a Taxi, got in, and rode to Dead Man's Cabin. No one noticed
me. I had no idea what happened or how. I knew my sister was in
danger at Dead Man's Cabin. So thats where i went.

"Bellla!" I whined. "It's f..f...f...freezing!" she hugged my

closely. It was below 0 oF and I was freezing. I had flips flops,
sweats, and a thin long sleeve shirt. " Emma, cut the crap!" Barked
MAcy. Blah Blah Blah I closed my eyes for the smallest of seconds
and the dream appeared. It started out normal. Gwen walked in.
Gwen screamed. Caci shot. Allison got shot? What. The. Heck.

Chapter 13: Dead Man's Cabin

I was awoken by Bella shifting her weight. "Hey little sis. Were
almost there." She smiled. I didn't. what is up with the Allison
concept? It has to be true! but it can't! ugh! I saw a little old
wooden cabin up on a hill. I gulped,Dead Man's Cabin. I knew it
when i saw the tree. I saw Gwen. She hopped down from a branch. I
squirmed out of my sister's hold and ran up the hill. Gwen was
whimpering at her reflection. I couldn't speak. I was right behind
her. She entered and so did I. Off went the trigger. Gwen and I
screamed in harmony. That is, until Allison's heart breaking scream
interupterupted ours. "ALLISON!" Cried Gwendalin. She had a Bullet
in her chest. I gasped. Did it hit the heart? The other arrived
momentarlily. Caci dropped the gun. 'Gwen?" She asked confused.
"YOU SHOT MY LITTLE SISTER!" she screamed. "Oh my god!" she
gasped. She started to sob. We all did. "Allison!" I cried. Why. DOes.
This. Crap. Keep. Happening. To. Me? "Caci how could you!"
Gwendalin screamed. Caci cried even harder. "I...I..I thought you
were thoes gang people!" She said hystericly. 'Allison? can you here
me? I'm so sorry!" CAci sobbed.
I saw my sister! I was going to make it! I pushed harder.
Gwendalin walked right in the door, and screamed when she saw
Tess's dead body, and Caci holding a gun. Emma ran in after her.
Emma? What is going on. It was then thar i saw Caci fire the pistol.
'NO!" I screamed. I jumped right in front of the speeding bullet. I
heard a hair raising scream. Oh that was me. I couldn't feel anything
at all. I couldn't see anything but a bright light. Am i dead?
Probably. "ALLISON!" A voice screamed. Why is Gwen crying? I just
saved her life! "Gwen?" asked Caci. "YOU SHOT MY LITTLE SISTER!"
Gwen screamed. Crap! I got shot! No wonder i'm dying. "Allison
wake up!" Please! I can't loose you!" Cried Gwen. Of course i'm not
going to die! I'm not living without you either! I wanted to scream
it, but i couldn't make my mouth work. I was being dragged back
into reality. oh. My. GOD! It felt like someone lit a torch and shoved
it inside of me. I spasumed in pain. My eyes popped open!
'GWENDALIN!" I screamed. "MY CHEST!" I heard a distant voice say, "
call 911" it sounded like Macy. Macy? I was too lost in pain to care. I
wonder if it was like this to become a vampire, like in Twilight.
Hehe. I screamed again. "GWEN PLEASE MAKE IT STOP! GOD PLAESE
KILL ME NOW!" I begged. "Were at Dead Man's Cabin, we escaped a
hostage situation, one girl got shot moments ago, by an inocent girl.
She thought it was one of the people to took her hostage. Yes sir.
Okay. Bye." Macy informed the officer. It was red hot h-e-double
hockey sticks in ife. Cold water in death. But family was worth the
pain. I eventually heard sirens. They picked me up and put me on a
stretcher. I was going to live.

Epilouge: Capture
 "Come on! All! Syd! They found them!" I was so excited! They
found the people who captured my sisters! and friends. lol xD We
were going there to help them. "Come on girls! Get in the car!" My
mom yelled. All 9 of us piled into her church bus thingy. We drove
FOREVER! I saw the police cars in the distance and started babbling.
Yay yay yay! They took us into this weird room with a glass wall in
the middle. I gasped. They had Anthony, Joe, Arra, and Tristan. No
Blake. We pointed to them, when i cried, "Blake isn't here!" o The
girls gasped in fear. We got the gang, but the killer was still out
there.
