Safety room, COC, Decisions

Everyone was in a state of panic except the teachers and the sophomores. We were all hustling the new recruits toward the safe room. My mother was rushing to me because if the COC was here we knew what they wanted. No one but the teachers and I knew what they wanted. Not even Zach. "You need to go to the sacro room. I will meet up with you later. Be safe." I nodded and flew through the crowds in the exact opposite way of the safe room. It wasn't safe enough for me. Solomon was right behind me. Because he was my godfather he had to protect me. He promised my dad.

We had turned so many corners that I couldn't even hear the others. I couldn't hear anything but the Sirens. Suddenly I heard a grunt and Solomon was in a 1 against 5 battle. They were dressed in black. The CoC. "Run Cammie! Don't wait for me!" he yelled and I nodded. Soon I could hear footsteps behind me. I doubted Solomon was down but I wasn't going to find out. He told me to run so I ran.

I quickly opened the secret passage, closing it right after entrance. I stopped breathing as the COC passed me. It felt like hours but I realized it was only a few minutes. When I couldn't hear anything I thought I was free. I was wrong. A large hand shot out grabbing my shoulder, pinning me against the wall. Even with my best effort I couldn't move. Pain shot up my arm as he twisted it back. He laughed at my tries to get away. "I don't have much time so shut up and listen."

I did as I was told for I was to scared to do anything else. "Good. Look all we want is the alumni list. You can get it. But we also want your on our side. You got skill." I wanted to tell him to shove it up where the sun don't shine but he cut me off. "We can kill every one you know and love but also we can kill millions you don't know. Millions of lives would be lost cause of your stupid mistake. It would be all your fault." I froze. Millions would die because of me.

"Oh and we also have your grandparents. If you want to see them, your father, or the Goodes ever again you will work for us and get the list. Think about it. We will contact you in 2 weeks. Be ready to leave by then. You can bring everything you want. Warning though, if you tell anyone about this your father with be tortured and killed before your very eyes." Suddenly the hands were off me and I collapsed to the floor.

I whirled around but no one was in the hallway. I slumped back to the floor and did the one thing I usually wouldn't do. I cried. Slowly I felt asleep on the dark cold ground, tears streaming my face as I repeated the one word I never said. "Daddy.."
