Dear Diary,

Everyone is telling me to stay strong and keep fighting but day in and day out it becomes harder and harder to keep standing. The few scars that surround my wrist are all ones that I created and made. They won't stop, no one listens, no one hears my silent screams. Everyday has become a struggle and everything I do seems to only make things worse. Will I continue floating in the dark abyss, taking blow after blow? Will I be able to continue hiding it? Will I be able to keep the mask up?

I close the book in front of me and close my eyes. I could feel the tears threatening to fall the more I wrote. It has been like this since the beginning of the school year and everyone was still clueless as to how much I was suffering. I wasn't allowed to tell them or they would be in danger to.

I turned my head to the wall and stared at the bow that was hanging up on my wall. The dark brown wood was in an arch. One end of the string was attached to one tip of the bow and the other string was attached to the other. Just below the wooden weapon was a necklace that would contain my powers. Yes, that was the only way I could control them. I knew fully well that there were people out there who were willing to help me. I only wish they could. If they were to become involved with this everything I worked towards would come crashing down. They would all be in danger.

A soft ringing came from my bedside table causing me to sigh. At the beginning of last Summer vacation I could have held onto the false hope that one of my friends would be calling me. Now I only stare at the phone as the feeling of hopelessness creeps up and snatches me.

I stared at the phone in my hands for only a brief second before pressing the green button. I waited for a moment for the normal, low voice to enter the phone but heard nothing.

"Boss", I said, "Hey boss you there?" No reply. The phone started to make static noises which was odd since all the phones that were associated with the work place were specially designed so nothing like this would happen. I hung up and went through my messages only to find one that said, "Look towards your window." I cringed and realized how similar this was to a horror movie. I know I should have left the room and made sure everything was locked but I didn't. I did just as the text said and came face to face with the person who I was training.

He lifted his hand up and pointed to the window, his eyes kept darting around him, as though he was looking for someone. He sat there, a worried look on his face, as I stared at him. I was slightly surprised and in shock. I wasn't expecting him to visit me, much less sneak in through the window.

I slowly walked over to the window, watching his movements to make sure he wasn't planning anything. When I was sure I could trust him I slid the window open and took a step back to allow him some space to work with. He crawled into the room rapidly, his eyes constantly darting around until he was in the room. The second he was in the room he shot up off of the floor and shut the window. I watched him with a suspicious look in my eyes as he stared at my phone, the call from our boss having long since ended.

"Did you get a call?" I nodded my head and stared at him. I was incredibly confused. He never bothered to ask me before so why would he start asking now?

"Yeah I ? Did something happen?" His face visibly paled. I opened my mouth to say something but shut it quickly when he started to speak.

"We need to leave. Now. I will explain everything later. Pack your stuff. The survivors will be meeting us at the old training grounds." My head started to spin suddenly. I kept hearing the words repeating over and over in my head. Everything started to sway and I fell forward, darkness making an attempt to cloud my vision.

"Ponyboy, stay with me. I need you to stay awake. Please Ponyboy, stay strong." I looked up at him and moved my arm to my side. I slowly pushed myself away from him and let out a grunt when I hit the ground. I was so tired. The phone buzzed again and Two-Bit's face paled. His eyes had grown wide with shock and he was focusing on me.

My eyes widened and bolted upright. I ignored the screams of protest from the rest of my body and ran towards my phone. I pressed the green button and put it on speaker, Darry's voice slipping through the speakers.

"Two-Bit, Pony, you there?" Two-Bit breathed a sigh of relief and walked over to me. His hand wrapped around my waist, and he pulled me closer to him, holding me as though if he let go he would fall into oblivion.

"Yeah Dar we're here. Your little brother isn't lookin' so hot though. I typing in our coordinates now we'll be there in less than 5 minutes." Two-Bit's voice relaxed. His fingers moved rapidly on his watch as Darry spoke.

"Hurry up. You and Pony are our two best fighters, without you the survivors are doomed." There's that dreaded word again, survivors. I felt myself become dizzy again. I started to fall forward but Two-Bit caught me and yelled my name. "Hurry Two-Bit we don't have much time."

He nodded his head, I think. I was barely able to make out the bright light that surrounded us before we were at the entrance of the old training grounds.

"Hand him here." Two-Bit picked me up bridal style and dropped me into Darry's warm arms. I sighed and pushed myself farther into his chest.

The next thing I knew I was sitting on a warm bed. The entire gang was surrounding, watching me with worried looks. I gave them all small smiles before a sharp pain shot up my back. I fell to the ground writhing in pain before blacking out.

I awoke with a jump. I felt my heart pounding in my chest. I looked around the room only to see the entire gang asleep. "It was just a dream, Ponyboy", I told myself, "It was just a dream."
