Chapter 9
***
Her hand enclosed the bottle; her commands for it to let go were unheard. The message that was sent by her brain only told her to hold on to it tighter. It was her freedom, her freedom from all evil. She brought it in close to her chest, afraid that her hand might loosen its grip and cause her to drop it. She couldn't afford to lose this newfound comfort.
She got up from the bed, staring down at the bottle she held within her hand and headed into the bathroom. She quietly closed the door behind her even though she knew that no one was in the room. She didn't bother to lock the door. She knew that it would be over and done with by the time anyone even realized that she was missing lunch.
She pulled the bottle out away from her chest and placed it onto the counter. She looked into the mirror for what was the last time. Her face looked decrepit and lost to her. 'I have to do this. It's the only way,' she convinced herself.
***
She picked up the bottle and twisted off the top. It was easy for her this time. A lot easier than it was the other time, the time she had stopped because she thought that there was a better answer. 'This was my better decision? What was I thinking? This is not better.'
She didn't think again. She placed one, two, three pills into her mouth and swallowed them with ease. She swallowed another three and three more after that. She felt her body grow with energy and strength and she began to crave them. She couldn't get enough. She brought the bottle up to her lips, tipped her head up toward the sky like a wolf howling at the moon, and let the white pills spill into her. She swallowed them as fast as they entered her mouth and before she knew it there were none left.
The energy and strength began to leave her body. The bathroom began to fade in and out. Reality seemed like a dream and she flashed back through events that had occurred in her life the bottle still clutched in her hand.
She leaned against the wall, allowing it to hold her up. It was no use though. She slid down the wall and clung to the toilet, hoping that it would help her in some way, but it didn't. She hit the floor and pain surged to her head. Her dad, her brother, her mother, Auggie, Peter, Jules, Daisy, Ezra, Shelby, Scott, Kat and Sophie clipped through her head at the last minute and unexpectedly. She tried to hold on to them, but she couldn't and she went limp. Her hand's grip loosened allowing the bottle to softly fall from her hand to the cool floor with a slight, soft clink.

Everyone sat at the table in the dinning hall eating. Daisy looked around searching for Samantha, but she was nowhere to be seen. She had taken off after class and no one had seen her since then. She wasn't in the girls' room, she wasn't by the river, and she wasn't in the main cabin.
"Have you guys seen Sam?" Daisy asked even though she knew that she would get some attitudes about the mentioning her name.
"No," responded Ezra, Scott, and Kat at the same time.
"Auggie? Have any idea where she is?"
"Did you check your room?"
"I did a while ago. I think I'm gonna go check again. I'll see you guys later." Daisy left the table hearing Shelby talking softly in the background.
"I can't believe Daisy would even mention her name around me. I hate her. She got me in trouble."
"Actually," Auggie responded, "I heard that you were the one to start the fight, not her. You should be glad she didn't rat you out. You would have ended up with a lot more punishment than you did."
Jules' glance rose from her plate and landed on him as she realized what they were talking about. 'He is sticking up for her. I knew it. He still wants her. Why else would he stick up for her?'
Shelby glared at him. 'I can't believe he just said that to me. I was sticking up for him and Jules. What was I supposed to do? Let her break them up? That's were it was heading.' Shelby looked at Scott and he could tell that she didn't want to be there anymore.
"Shelby? You ready to go? I wanna show you something," he said to her allowing her the chance to leave.
"Yeah." They both got up from their seats and headed out the door.

Daisy walked into the girls' room. She looked toward Samantha's bed and noticed the Walkman on it. Her gaze followed down to the ground where a bag that she didn't even know Samantha had was in view. 'Where did this come from?' She walked over, across the room, to the open bag. She looked down into, but saw nothing unusual.
Kat came into the room. "What's that bag?" she asked.
"I dunno. I never saw it before."
Daisy walked over to the bathroom. It was closed so she knocked on it, thinking that Samantha might be in there. There was no response so she opened it.
"Where do you think Samantha went?" Kat called to her from across the room causing her to face back towards her.
"I dunno. She probably went for a walk or something. I'm sure we will find her when she wants to be..." She had taken a step into the bathroom and before she could finish her sentence she saw Samantha lying on the floor. "Oh my god!" she screamed.

A/N: well, how do you like it so far? Keep me posted. I love reviews. & random question time.do you think that Sam will live? Or die? The choice is yours. But neways, tell me what you think.
