They were running through a jungle, in teams of four. Of course, Elizabeth noted that they happened to be downwind of Fred, which for Elizabeth was a little gag intensive. In what seemed to be a blink of an eye both teams were in a dense clearing. It only seemed to be in passing that Elizabeth noted that it seemed odd she was on the team this time.
That's when the first flash happened. The eldest was down. As Elizabeth tried to wrap her head around it the second flash happened and down went another one, he grunted and yelled at Elizabeth to run. She was starting to get very distressed when the sound of a bullet raced towards her. Expecting an impact that didn't come Elizabeth screamed when she saw her final team member go down in an attempt to rescue her. When she saw the shadowed figure approach her Elizabeth did something very odd for her in any capacity. She screamed in fear.

Elly fell out of her bed with a yelp. As she rubbed her butt and got off of the floor she looked at the picture beside her bed. She pouted and grunted at the picture as she tried to get up. Though Elly silently prayed that no one heard her, the rush of feet to her room made her quickly dismiss that idea. As her door slamed open she turned her head.
"Oh common, it couldn't have been that bad Ari. I mean, it was only one tiny nightmare" Elly looked at her best friend. She was also one of the few whom knew most if not all of Elly's secrets.
"Not bad. Not bad you say. ELIZABETH ANN HOWLLETT WILSON YOU ARE AN IDIOT! Besides the fact that you were almost literally sick with fear, you woke up every one with your screaming. Why don't you just call them already?" Ari looked at her impatiently.
Elly glanced solemnly at the photograph, then back at Ari. "Why don't you just call up your ex. Y'know, Steven?"
"Wait, what? No. Nononono. Noooooooo NO! NO I WILL NOT! Nope you can't make me. And why should I call him anyways? There is nothing special about him. He's a fucking kid trapped in a man's body. I mean come on, why would you want me to call that?!?!" Ari looked at Elly her eyes darted nervously around the room. After gaining a bit of composure she noted that Elly sat on the ground smirking. Walking cautiously up to her lounging roommate Ari gazed down at her. "You are one evil, EVIL bitch. You did that on purpose!"
"Heh…Guilty. But then again lets look at the people you were telling me to call. One; a brother who is a crazy war and blood hungry rapist. Two; another brother, while he was the more moral of the two, is now what I here to be an asshole with amnesia. And three; a husband whom apparently is dead. Yeahhh Ari, calling any one of them up not really ever going to happen. Sorry."
Ari just rolled her eyes at Elly as the girl in question got off of the floor with a slight grunt. "You know what Elly? You either need a psychologist or a boyfriend. Because you are insane!"
"Heh… well, lets see… I'd probly drive a psych nuts with what I've seen and done. And about the boyfriend… yeaaah. So sorry, but I can't. I'm married. Now if you will excuse me, I'm late getting ready for work." Elly started moving around her room in an attempt to get ready.
"You know… you have like, two hours 'till you actually need to be at the school, right? Like, even before the students come?"
"I know Ari. That is why I said I am running late. Look, I'll see you there, but I have to get stuff done. The new teacher comes today and tomorrow, Charles and Eric."
~*~*~*~
The melodic clicking of hard soled shoes in the northeast hallway of Salmon Arm High was the minute indicator that told Elly she was not alone in her early morning routine. It was the far away sent of their coconut aftershave that let her know this person was a stranger….or just plain stupid.
