Crossfire {Completed}

Dead Girl Walking

I am running down a hall and see every one of my friends including seven talking. I go to run to them and I am stopped by an invisible wall. They all look at me and laugh. I look around and realize I am in a glass case. I look at my reflection.

It starts to fill with water. I look for a way out.

I bang on the glass. "Hey!" They are all gone. "Hey!" I push on the glass but it won't break. I swim to the top and take one last deep breath as the water fills the tank all the way. I look out into the darkness and see Lucy.

She's so scared. "Flame help!" Soldiers rush in to take her away. I use all my strength and punch the glass a few times and it breaks.

Out of the simulation

I woke up gasping. Seven looks over at me.

He frowns. "How did you do that?"

I frown trying to slow my breathing. "What?"

He crosses his arms. "How did you break the glass?"

I shrug. "I don't know I just...did it."

He scoffs. "Just did it?" He turns back to the monitor. "That little girl was there again. Same one right?"

I shrug. "I guess."

Seven frowns. "You don't know her?" I shale my head. Seven sighs in frustration. "Fine, you are free to go." I stand up and head for the door. "Flame?" I turn around and look at him. "Just so you know a random person doesn't pop into someone's fearscape more than once." I sigh and open the door to leave.

I decide that I need to go pay a visit to Winny.

Tattoo Shop

I walk in and look over at Winny's station. I bite my lip and she sighs. She finishes up with her client and walks over to me.

I look at her.

"Winny I need..."

She places a finger to her lips. "Shhh. Not here. Come to my office." She leads me to her office. It glows dark purple from the LEDs she has around the room. "Have a seat." We take a seat on the couch in the office. She turns to me and takes a deep breath. "I had a brother. He was like you with Lucy. He was protecting me. I was popping into his sims and once they finally got it out of him...that he wasn't an only child...they got rid of him." My eyes widen. "His body was found at the bottom of the wall."

I look into her eyes. "Who got rid of him?"

She sighs. "They army leadership. You can't let them find out about your sister or Chaga's."

I shake my head with tears in my eyes. "And what if they already know?"

Winny takes a deep breath and looks into my face emotionless. "Then you're already dead." My heart pounds loudly in my chest.

This is it.

I'll be dead once I reach that final test.

Lucy will be alone.
