Then I pause.
Oops sorry Remi I forgot....

What is it? Remi turns around.

I have to be packing right now.
I say.

Your leaving why? She asks with
worry in her eyes.

My brother--
Told me it was not safe here
and to leave. I say regretting
my words.

John said that? Remi replies.

I forgot she knew John was my brother.
Yeah and not just him! My mom
and dad too! I say quickly.

I thought you where strong
Emma. Remi says coldly. Aren't
you a level 5 too? What's wrong is
it Ember or are you keeping secrets.

I flinch at the word secret as I knew I was
keeping secrets from my family my friends
and myself.

So you don't trust me. Remi says
with a friendly tone.

I do, I do! It's just not the ones
you want to here. I say.

Oh Emma I hope I'm not making you feel
unwelcome. I feel bad I should say-
Remi get cut off from her thoughts.

Augh! I scream.
I scream as a man leaps out of nowhere
and covers my mouth and I am in shock.
Remi starts to scream let her go and
it all went dark.

I wake up in another place it is dark
a gloomy like a cell. I see a picture
of myself on the tv with the Ember logo and so
does Remi. I here people talking on
screen on how sorry they are for the family's.
I think to myself is this the after life?
Then I hear-

Crazy right. Ember doesn't even
kill anyone. I wonder.

Huh? I say.

It's Remi remember. Remi says
to jog my memory.

Oh. I say.
What will happen to use?

I don't know. This just feels like
jail of a prison. Remi says.

Ahhh. I'm to young to go to prison.
I say sarcastically.

Hay you two shut up! Number
68 and 69 cell some of us are trying
to sleep! The guard says.

Hay guard are you part of Ember?
I say.

Duh. Oh wait I'm the tooth fairy. He says sarcastically mimicking my voice.

I try a power beam but I'm not strong enough
to break past the bars. I try.
What are these bars made of Mister
Guard.

Don't call me Mister it make
me sound old call me Goode ok.
There made up of none of your
business. He replies.

Poop you. I know it not mature but still.
I wonder if John and my parents
got the news...
