Disclaimer-that-we-must-write-before-each-chapter: If I was Stephanie Meyer then you would have to pay to read this. However…since I'm not Stephanie Meyer you don't. Also I only own my characters. Any one familiar that pops up is Stephanie's. Now, on with the story.
Chapter 4
I stood between Alex and the wall with my knife at the ready. Sandra and Dan stood next to Alex. We all wore the same grim expression as our fate drew closer. In the moonlight I could see a lump, which I knew as a car coming for our small cave. As it got closer I could tell that it was too large for a car and too small for a truck. It was a van. I heard the noise of the engine as the van slowly made its way towards us, its tires making a grating sound as they crushed the sand beneath them.
My heart was hammering in my chest as the vehicle slowly approached us. If it was seekers we would be ready. It seemed as if the would never reach us and that they were coming too fast all the same. Let them try and capture us, I thought.
Suddenly I was pushed into the wall. I heard my shoulder and head thump against the rock and then I felt a searing pain as I heard a snap. My head throbbed and black dots danced across my vision. Alex grabbed my shoulder and mouthed words that I didn't hear. He had shoved me into the wall. No! Alex you need my help. I can…I can fight. No! I screamed inside my head. How could he. I tried to fight the darkness that overcame me. I hoped that was not the last time I ever saw my family again.

Love you all who keep reading this. I know what you're probably thinking about Amy getting pushed into the wall. All shall be revealed in due time.
