We All Have Secrets

Girls with Guns

I open the door to the deafening sound of gunshots. I look everywhere as quick as I can.

Looking for 7 particular people...

No sign of the boys. I shake my head, worried sick.

I clench my eyes shut. They can't be...

"Don't worry, nobody would still be shooting if they were gone." E said reassuring me patting me on the shoulder. The girls look just as scared and worried as me.

"What do we do?" Iris asked, I knew what she was thinking 'how do I save us?' us is referring to her small new bump.

"Iris, do you know how to shoot a gun or fire and arrow?" I ask her. She looks at me.

"Well, I'm pretty sure living on the farm and shooting game, whenever we wanted fresh food, didn't mean anything." She said brushing it past, I looked at her like 'seriously'.

"Iris just tell me! God." I said annoyed. I'm losing it, if we don't hurry up there's so much at risk.

"I'm sorry. I can shoot a bow." She said apologetically.

"All g, and thanks."I smile and hand her a bow and a quiver which held 24 arrows. I held an arrow and bow as well, your never to low on weapons!

"Okay! Girls you can only quickly shoot, 1 bullet as a practice! Aim for those targets!" I shout. The girls aim as soon as those words come out of my mouth. Amazingly everyone achieves target.

I nod my head impressed.

"Now. On the count of 3 run and just start shooting!" I proclaimed, I held up a finger signing 'wait'. They nodded and I took another sneak peek outside of the door. It looked like Dauntless's version of Capture The Flag, but this time these bullets kill.

Red Flaming Hair in a quiff.

Blonde quiff.

Brown Curls.

Spot them.

"They're safe! Just don't aim over near the two barracks that have navy blue and grey stripes on the side. I'd spotted every single one of them. There was bodies littering the floor, people aiming guns at anywhere, hoping that they'll hit something or someone.

In this game. Doesn't matter if your good or bad. Your still a target.

There's no such thing as truths, on Sven's side.

"Great! So basically we aim anywhere but over there!" Max says enthusiastically. I look down at Zita and Niles. I look everywhere around the room, surely they would...

Ah ha! A trapdoor! I smile with delight.

"Iris! Take Zita and Niles through that trapdoor there! It should, well by the looks of it take you outside. When you do get outside. Wait. Sit down. And act like they're your kids or siblings or sonething." I ordered her with hope. She places the baboose on her and straps Niles in, still with the bow and arrow. The trapdoor is probably thigh high and in the corner, cleverly camouflaged.

"Come on Zita! Let's go!" She says taking Zita's hand. Iris has her bow and quiver around her shoulder.

"Bye Mummy! I love you!" she says quickly giving me a hug, I wave.

"Love you too! Niles and baby rose!" I laugh happily, not thinking about how I might never see her again.

"You ready?" I ask, turning around. 25 minutes in here, we need to get out.

"As we'll ever be." Narla says loading her gun, everyone copies including me. I poke my head through the door, immediately grab a knife and through at the bozo's head who was about to kill Hale with a machete. No one kills my boyfriend except for me.
