Allie's POV

Everything within me falls apart. What feels like seconds, turns into minutes. I hold him in my arms, his blood caking to my clothes. I can't seem to let him go.

Vengeance hasn't come over me yet. But I feel like it's just around the corner.

Eventually I feel a warm, alive embrace. I take no notice of whoever is holding me. I couldn't care less. They couldn't make this better. No one can.

I feel water on my shoulder. Tears. I guess that whoever is holding me is Madi. He was her brother after all. I wish they bonded more.

"Why did this happen?" I hear her whisper.

"I'm going to kill them. I will kill them all." My sadness seeps out of me like lava from a volcano. Now all I feel is rage.

I stand up, leaving Madi on the ground.

I run past Minho who is staring at Thomas' body in absolute disbelief.

I reach the middle of the glade. "COME GET ME YOU BASTARDS!! I WILL KILL EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU, THAT IS A PROMISE!"

There is only one potential thing on my mind. Vengeance. And I will have it.

They won't win. I won't let them. Whatever they put us in here for, I will never help them.

I grab things, knives, spears, whatever weapon I could get my hands on. I start throwing them at the walls.

Pain. I loved him. I barely knew him properly, but I know I loved him, and now he's gone.

An idea sprouts in my head. It's obvious, they put us in here for something, but they want a winner. They want a proper mind. Someone who can beat this stupid puzzle. What if, no one wins? What if we all kill ourselves, they wouldn't have a winner?! No one would win!

"I've got you now." I whisper as I run back to Madi and Minho hoping they will agree with me.
