Last Chapter (Ch.1)
He forced a small smile on his lips, and then he skidded to a stop, and turned around.
Then I heard it,
A single gunshot.

Chapter 2- Hopeless
We whirled around, and there, clutching a gun close to him stood Uncle Jeb. I stared wide eyes as he brought the gun to his eye, and shot a Seeker running towards him. The Seeker fell to the ground, grasping his side in pain. The other Seekers reacted to this, they all charge toward Jeb.
Never in all my lives, have I experience such a cruel violence.
More gun shots sounded, not only from Jeb; suddenly the men emerged from the rocks, shooting every Seeker in sight. They all fell to the ground, groaning in pain. Right then and there, I wondered if it was wrong to be happy at this moment. To be happy at another's death. Well as wrong as it may be, this brought the slightly joy to my face. As they fell my hope continued to grow bigger and bigger, as each life was taken I felt like mine was expanding. That our chances were not as dim as I thought they were. The guns continued to blare as Ian started to run again, the mountain coming closer and closer, our safety was almost here.
Then suddenly we heard a helicopter above us, not one but four.
Four huge helicopters hovered around us, making a circle around us, trapping us. From these helicopters emerged more Seekers. More than there was before. I screamed in horror as they jumped to the ground behind Uncle Jeb.
"Jeb!" I screamed, waving my hands in the air.
He turned his eyes towards me, and the Seeker was moving closer and closer. I felt my breath cut off as the Seeker slung his arm around Jeb's neck, pulling him up. Uncle Jeb, almost on instinct shoved his gun in the Seekers side, causing him to let go and cry out in pain. He gripped his leg as Uncle Jeb shot him. And just like that, the Seeker fell to the ground.
Uncle Jeb looked up, and it seemed to be raining Seekers, all of them sliding down ropes, climbing down ladders. And I knew, from the look in his eyes he saw we had no chance of winning this fight.
"Run!" He roared, as he charged the crowd towards where Ian and I were still running. We were almost there now, Ian and I. We were so close. As Jeb ran through the parade of Seekers he shot any that came close to him. The other men, who I recognized as Aaron, Heath and Brandt fallowed his lead, sprinting through the enemy, shooting everything and everyone in sight. Then I saw Kyle. My heart pace grew faster as I watched this man run for his life. What had happened to Sunny? Surely he wouldn't have left her. But still Sunny was nowhere in sight. I imagined her alone and captured, I shivered at the thought. No I told myself, Kyle would never let that happen.
Finally we reached the mountain, the others still running behind us, and now a whole group of Seekers as well. We can make it; we can make it I chanted in my head. We had the advatage, we had guns, and they didn't. And once everyone got in the vans we'll drive off, they'll never catch us.
We turned the corner quickly, and then against our own will we stopped. I gasped at what I saw. I have I ever been so frightened as I did that very moment. This, this very moment I knew would be my death. We would die; it was over, gone, and finished. Ian seemed to know this too, as he held me in his arms. I saw his jaw go slack, as he took in what we was seeing. Time seemed to freeze for a split second. Ian looked down at me and whispered,
"Wanda, I am so sorry it has to end like this. I love you, Wanda. My whole entire I love, and I always will. I swear to you I will never stop loving you. Never.You deserve a life, Wanda. When I set you down I want you to run. Run until you reach safety don't ever stop, do you hear me? If they catch you say you were held hostage and finally escaped, they'll believe you. They won't hurt you."
My mouth fell open. Bright lights blinded me, people were shouting, but I didn't hear them all I heard was Ian, my Ian.
"No," I whispered to him, tightening my arms around his neck, "If we're going to die, I will die with you."
"Wanda-"
"No," I pushed my finer against his lip, silencing him. "Listen to me. Ian, I love you more than you'll ever comprehend, and I will not leave you. We. die. together."
"Wanda... I'm not going down without a fight." He said.
"Well then," I answered, "Neither am I."
"Wanda, your tiny. You can barley lift your own weight, I don't think anyone will expect you to fight back."
"Exactly," I said, almost smugly, though under the circumstance, its impossible to be smug. "They'll never see it coming."
"Wanda..." Ian hesitated, and I saw from the corner of my eye more movement.
"Look Ian, I'm not running away. I'm staying here with you. Where I belong."
Then he set me down, and we stood there, awaiting our death.
