A/N: Another chapter guys. Where are they others? Where did the Circle go? Who died?

Alexa POV

It was a stupid thing to worry about, surely. It wasn't like I wanted to kill those people, but although I told myself they were the Circle of Cavan, my sworn enemy, I still felt very guilty. Seth gave my another round of ammo and I pointed the light gun in the direction of the car engine. My hands closed around it's shiny black frame, fitting perfectly. I rested my left index finger lightly on the trigger and waited. Head lights appeared out in front of us, bright and sharp. I squinted to see who was climbing out of the van, the gun just above my shoulder, arms out stretched.

"Who gave Alexa a gun?" It was Zach, the tension left my shoulders and I dropped my gun to my side.

"Cammie wouldn't shoot." Seth informed him, both boys nodded to each other, their expressions emotionless.

"Where's Joe, Mum, the others?" Cammie was clutching her shoulder, had she been shot? I couldn't recall, but then, it all happened so fast my memory just blurred together.

"They aren't with you are they?" I asked, gulping back tears. My ears were ringing so much I couldn't hear the reply.

"Alexa?" Seth grabbed my arm to support me, my stomach fluttered. I scolded myself yet again and regained my posture.

"They didn't make it. I had to get the van out before the Circle got to it. Joe and the others, we got separated, he told me to find you guys." Zach put his head in his hands, they were covered in dry blood.

"Tina, was she okay?" I asked, remembering the girl under the table. Zach shook his head, his brown hair falling over his eyes.

"They took her, and Eva, and Mickey, even Courtney. We lost a lot of people, Alexa, more than I dare say." Zach didn't look 18 in that moment, he looked old, full of experience.

"We have to find them." Seth decided for us. "We can take the van, they have to be in Roseville somewhere, maybe the Hospitals. Anywhere." I looked at his pleading face, why did he care so much? He didn't know any of them.

"There are still some girls and teachers inside the school, hurt, if not dead." Cammie choked out the last word, like poison. She had a cut on her forehead and blood was dripping round her right eye and into her mouth, Zach came and wiped it away with the back of his torn school blazer.

"We'll help them Cam, then go after the others." He hugged her close, she winced at her shoulder.

"Come on then." We went back inside the school to see who was still in there.

The first person we found was dead, Jo Henson, a first year. Even Cammie didn't know her. I closed her eyes, he skin was still slightly warm and it made me shiver. Next we covered her head with her blood covered blazer, no time to mourn now.

"Who's there!?" Zach shouted into the closest room, a cry came from inside. It was Kim Lee, Cammie said. Kim had her arm crushed under some rubble from the wall, it had been blown down from the outside.

I ran to help her, with the help of Seth, we got the big chunk of stone off her right arm, there was blood everywhere. That's when we heard the sirens.

"People are coming." Zach said and pulled us away from Kim who frown, trying not to scream.

"They'll help you, we promise." Cammie hugged her other side quickly. We headed for the front door, police were already there, with the van.

"Psst." It was Anna Fetterman, somehow she had managed to stay in one peice, though her skirt was torn and she didn't have her blazer.

"What?" I whispered.

"Come on." We followed, the five of us went by the library and down to the back entrance of the Academy, even Cammie didn't know that there was one.

"Is there anyone else Anna?" Zach closed the door quietly and looked around the dark outside, it must have been midnight by then. I checked my purple strapped watch, it was smashed, cracked down the middle. Plus it was splattered with blood, I cringed.

"Erm.. Just me and Professor Townsend." Zach's face tightened. Townsend, who I'd never met before, came around the corner. He was holding a gun, just like mine.

"Joe told me to find you guys, said you got split up." He took a breath, clearly he'd been running.

"We did." Zach said. "We need to find them." Townsend shrugged.

"I don't know where he is, it's a miracle I even found Anna when I did, almost got my head blown off by a sniper." Anna flushed, clearly not used to being complemented.

"If Kim hadn't have pushed me out the way I wouldn't have pushed you over." Anna said sheepishly. Did she have a crush on Townsend? He was good looking but... I had never been the type to swoon over guys, now was definitely not the time or place to start.

"Kim's still inside, the doctors will look after her." Seth said and started down the well trodden path.

"Wait!" I called after him and the others. "We don't even know where we're going!" Zach almost smiled.

"well we have to get the van back don't we, and Cammie has a wound, so we can create a diversion." That was a good plan, but so much could go wrong.

Townsend saw the unsure look on my face and patted my shoulder, covering it in more blood, "It's the best we got Alexa, Joe told me a lot about you." I smiled at him, more to reassure myself than him.

"Okay, what are we going to do?"
