This story is AU, set from "Locked Up!". It's my take on what could have actually happened in Yerba. I have tried to keep the characters as in character as I can, but they may become OC as the story progresses.


Prologue

The plan was supposed to be easy.

Fool-proof.

Perfect.

So cleverly and carefully planned, so wonderfully ridiculous, that it had to work.

But we were only teenagers; stupid, scared teenagers who believed in silly plans like ours. Yet we were trapped in a violent, adult place full of war, hate and rage that we knew nothing about.

The plan didn't stand a fucking chance.

In 2011, seven American students and their teacher went on vacation to Yerba.

They had no idea that this week long trip, would instead turn into six long, horrifying years trapped in the Yerbanian Civil War.

Now, exactly one year after their escape, the survivors tell their stories.*

*Conversations and certain events described in this book may not be completely accurate, due to PTSD, trauma, and the general passing of time. The survivors have decided to simply 'fill in the blanks' as best they could.
