Prologue

Have you ever thought about the feeling you'll more likely feel if you were to be on the receiving end of a gun?

How nerve wrecking it is?How trapped it feels like as if all your movements are restricted and if you have made one wrong step,you'll die?How pathetic it feels like to know your life is in the hands of the person who had their gun on your head?

Because not all people thinks about it.People are more likely to think about the feeling they'll get if they were to be the one holding the gun,how much power they'll feel.

But some people doesn't even think about the feeling they'll get whether or not they were to be the one holding the gun or the one at the receiving end of it.

People like her.

She didn't really thought she'll be there,with a gun pointed closely at her head.She didn't really thought she'll be experiencing this near death experience.She didn't really thought any of the things that happened before will happen.

She had always thought she'll forever be optimistic about any situation that comes her way because throughout her whole life,she learnt that she has to look at the brighter side of things;rather than focusing on the darker side of it.She had been doing it for so long,it kind of stuck.

But god damn it.

There was nothing to be optimistic about this situation.

One wrong move,she'll die.One wrong word,she'll die.One wrong decision,she'll die.

You see?Nothing to be optimistic about.

Looking downwards towards the cage where all the people she cares about are being held in,she can't help but feel a sudden wave of sadness.

Not because she's about to die,no.

But because they're only there all thanks to her.Because she was foolish,because she made the call of a bad decision, because she fled and left them when she should've been there just to make sure nothing bad will happen.

She left willingly and because of that,the group was left with a vulnerable hole,a hole pests like him can sneak in and take it to his advantage- which he did.

She will always be sorry for that.

She caught the eyes of another girl around her age.Her eyes shows so much warmth and comfort that she can't help but feel her eyes watering at the sight of it.Her grey eyes contrasts amazingly with the other girl's green eyes that you can't even imagine how similar they actually are with each other,despite the physical differences.She notices how the girl's eyes began to water as well and eventhough it made her heart ache,she managed to gave her a reassuring smile.

' I've got this,'She wanted to say to her.' Don't worry,I won't let anything happen to you or to them.'

She saw how the girl's eyebrows furrowed together as if to ask her ' What about you?Will anything happen to you?'

She didn't have the heart in her to answer that.She didn't really want to answer that.She didn't have any answer for that.

Because this plan is a do-or-die.Her life is in the hands of another person and she can't do anything but trust that person to make the right decision.

To kill her or let her live.

She might be the master planner,she might've been the one who orchestrate the whole thing,but at this moment,she didn't have the power.

The other person does.

To say she isn't not scared was a understatement because she never really thought she'll be down on her knees with a gun on her head.

She scanned her eyes through all of her friend's faces and she noticed how all of them held some kind of emotion in them;sadness,anger, guilt,love.

Okay,she really has to stop.

She needs to start the climax of her plan.She needs to get through with it and see if it works.Nomatter how scared she is,she can't let her emotions show on her face because if he manages to figure her out,they'll all die.

She really needs to get her head in the game.

Shaking her head slightly to get rid of her thoughts,she thought to herself,' It's up to you now.Don't blow it.You have to win. '

She caught the gaze of the girl again and she gave her a brief grin,one she always gave to her even before that day,one that she made sure only she could see,one that she knows the girl will understand the meaning behind that grin.

'Trust me' it said.

And she saw the girl's lips curving upwards in response so,she knew she had the message crossed.

'You know I do.'
