Chapter Ten
I'm down in a cellar. No one's here but me. I call out and no one responds.
I stand up and then I here a bullet chamber behind me.
I turn to see someone with changing faces. First Simone, Diana, Vivian, Maya, Daisy, Robin, Sissy, Skyler, and finally Glenn.
They keep telling me I'm not worth it, I'm stupid and insecure and need to grow up. I try to move but I'm frozen in place. They put their finger over the trigger.
Someone grabs my shoulder and I turn. It's them again, but they look happy. Then it solidifies on Glenn's face.
"Alaina," he says. "Please, stay here."
"Why would I want to stay here?" I ask. Does he want me to die like the others do?
His face looks hurt and he puts both hands on my shoulders.
"Alaina, I can't lose you again," he says.
"You put a gun to my head," I say, but no words come out.
"Alaina!" Glenn shouts, the nice one. He starts to pull away from me.
"Glenn!" I yell. I can hear myself now.
"Stop, stay, please!"
"Glenn!"
Then he's gone. I turn back to Other Glenn and look him in the eyes.
"You want to kill me? Fine. Do it," I say.
He starts to pull back when he too pulls away. And I'm left alone.
The scene shifts and I'm in a tunnel. On one end, I see people yelling and screaming. Ok the other end, a lake, tranquility. I want to go to the yelling people, to help. But then a flatline goes off and they start shouting more.
The other side seems so nice, now that I look at it. I turn back with a last glance just in time to see Glenn. Heya talking but I can't hear him.
"Glenn," I call.
He looks hopeful and says something else. I take a step toward him.
A steady yet uneven beat replaces the flatline.
"Stable, I need an IV! Now!" Someone shouts.
"Alaina, come on, keep fighting, please," Glenn says. I take another step towards him.
"I have the peroxide!" Someone yells.
"Pour it hear!" Someone else screams.
"Infected, I need a needle and thread over hear please!"
Moments later Glenn is right in front of me.
"Glenn," I say, and touch his face.
I look past him and out of the tunnel. A girl is laying on the table with doctors and nurses swarming around her.
It's me.
Oh-oh no. I can't go back. No, not now.
I pull away from Glenn and towards peace. The girl goes limp, Glenn calls out to me.
Then I stop. Do I really want to do this?
A/N: hey, I'm still here! So I have decided that this story will end after book three. Yes, I'm very sorry. However the next book will be a bit more intriguing.
So I need a ship name for Glenn and Alaina!
Glaina? Alenn? I'm stuck here, please help me!
