"An escape plan?" Joseph asked. We had decided it best if we got other people on board instead of trying to do this ourselves. The only issue I had with the shower rooms so far was that we were all in our underwear, and I only had the one pair for now. "Right. We'll need an inside person. So we were wondering if you could convince your sister to be human?" Max asked. Joseph only looked at him. "My sister is not human, Lily won't help us, trust me." Joseph looked out of the showers. I looked as well and saw his sister crying. "What's wrong with her?" I asked. "She's probably crying because she didn't get her way. For a fourteen year old, she acts like a five year old." Max looked shocked. "Wait.. she's fourteen!? I thought she was nine!" Max said, and Joseph laughed. It was the first time any of us had heard him laugh, but it sounded like a dying goat chocking on food. "You're an idiot. But yeah, she doesn't look like my older sister, does she?" Joseph sighed and stood up. "I'll help." He said, then walked off.
Robyn looked at the girl for a moment then to me. "Go use your manly charms on her." She said. "What?" I asked. "Why not Max?" She turned to Max and studied him for a moment. "Nah, he's too old and ugly. At the very least, you're kinda cute." She said, pinching my cheeks. I held back my blush and stood up. "Ok fine, I'll do it." I started to walk over to where Lily sat. "Hello um.. Miss Lily." As soon as the words came out of my mouth, she gave me a death glare. "What do you want?" She said, still looking at me all deadly like. "I just wanted to say that... uh... You guys...er... girls are right! Men should be ruled by uh... beautiful goddesses such as yourself." After the last word, I felt like throwing up. I thought this was dumb, and didn't understand why Max couldn't have done this. Somehow miraculously, instead of slapping me, she smiled and leaned closer to me. I blushed a little bit, but then remembering that this girl only thought of me as a dumb slave and my embarrassment faded. "You're not so bad yourself... maybe I could ask Izzy if you could become my personal assistant..." She said. I thought it was good that I had least learned a name. "Come with me." She said, grabbing my hand and pulling me up. She looked down and blushed. "Put some clothes on..." She said, and I looked down and noticed that I was still in my underwear. I also blushed and hurried up to get changed. Before I left the shower rooms, Robyn grabbed my arm. "Good luck." She told me. "Here." She said, handing me a walkie talkie. "Max smuggled them from the place where Group A works." She let her hand linger on mine for a moment before letting go and walking away.
I put the walkie talkie in my pocket and walked towards Lily. When I was close enough, she grabbed my hand and started walking with me towards a large black building. "Why did you call your brother a traitor?" I asked Lily as we were walking, and she stopped for a moment. "He was my personal assistant before, but he tried to escape. They were going to kill him, but I managed to stop them." She said. "Now enough, come on." She tugged on my hand and kept walking. As soon as I got inside I saw a group of women. They all looked at me. I gulped and wondered if I could just go back to the showers.
<This chapter will be large and will include points of view from lots of characters>
<5 weeks later>
<Max>
I opened a panel in the wall and began working, trying to get the alarms to shut off. Failing at this, I instead tried to bust it. I wasn't sure if it did the trick, but I couldn't really test it or I would get in trouble. Instead I backed away from the panel and shut it, locking it back.
<Sam>
I opened the door of the small room and looked around. "Lily?" I called. I moved in a slow circle, scanning every corner for her. My eyes got covered and I heard a voice say. "Guess who?" I knew it was Lily so I turned around and kissed her. That's how it was now, a few weeks ago Lily had told me that as well as her personal assistant, I would also be her partner. I didn't really like the idea, and told her so. But she gave me a death glare. I thought it was actually pretty nice, but she captured my friends and thinks men are worthless so I didn't want anything to do with her besides what was forced. Anyways, I turned and gave her a kiss, but to my surprise it wasn't Lily, it was Robyn. She was blushing a lot. "Y...Y...You..." I couldn't really say anything either.
I sat on the couch of the room and Robyn sat far on the other end. "Is... this what you've been doing with Lily?" She asked me. I was surprised that that was her first question. "Listen, we don't have time for this Robyn. You really need to leave, Lily will come back soon." Robyn just nodded and left and I felt bad that we couldn't talk about what had just happened. I figured that we could talk about it later and I left it at that.
Lily came home and gave me a small kiss and went to go take a shower. She pointed to a small stack of papers. "Sort those for me please." I sighed. Lily didn't seem to like me, but it seemed that she needed a partner and a personal assistant so she told me to be both. She had also told me that she couldn't do this with her brother. I sighed. I wasn't even embarrassed anymore about the kissing, in fact I was tired. I finished the papers and went to sleep on the couch.
<Robyn>
I left the building with shock. I touched my lips slightly and I swore I could feel his lips. I blushed a lot and ran back towards my sleeping quarters. I realized that I had forgotten to tell Sam what we were going to do, but he was just going to have to learn. It was the idiot's fault that he made me embarrassed. I saw Max and Joseph talking and walked over. Max went over the plan with me and after gave a satisfied nod. "You told Sam, right?" He said. I looked away from him and at the floor. "I sorta got busy." She said, remembering what had happened. "Got busy?" Max asked. "YOU HAD ONE JOB ROBYN!" She looked down at the floor. "I'm sorry, it's not my fault that he..." Robyn stopped and blushed. "WHATEVER!" She yelled storming off.
<Sam>
I woke up to the sound of knocking on my windows. Max was there and gestured me over. I unlocked the window and looked at him. "Max!" I whispered harshly. "Why are you here?" Max took my hand and pulled me out of the window. I almost screamed, but remembered Lily and decided to shut my mouth. We both jumped down from the window and I noticed that Max had an assault rifle. He gestured for me to follow him and together we ran to a small place where Robyn and Joseph were hiding. Joseph nodded to me and Robyn found a sudden interest in her shoes. Max looked out the hole we had come in at for a moment, then pushed a dresser into position to cover it. Together, we all ran for a while until we found granny. She was in one of the rooms of the large building. I noticed that she was standing near a hole that had been made in the wall. I went first, then Granny, then Joseph, then Robyn, Then Max. We walked side by side, crouched behind rocks and trees. We finally made it to the gate and Joseph gestured for us to stop while he went forward and pulled out a pair of pliers. He opened the gate and right when he stepped outside, a zombie grabbed him. Joseph screamed and at that moment all the lights went on and people aimed their guns all around. Max, Robyn, and I managed to hide behind a tree but Granny wasn't so lucky they spotted her and started to fire. From behind the rock I could see the blood staining the dirt behind her. What felt like hours of shooting finally ended, and the old lady lay dead on the ground. Robyn seemed to open her mouth to scream but Max put a hand over her mouth. I felt a single tear drip down my face, but I quickly swiped it away. The women came and picked up Granny. They also saw Joseph. They cut off the zombies head and grabbed Joseph. I could hear the familiar voice of Lily screaming at the top of her lungs. I couldn't help but cover my ears. She crouched down next to Joseph and cried for about 30 minutes. I didn't dare breathe, with them being so close to us. When she was done, someone locked the gate back up while the others picked up the two dead people and moved them. I dared to look out and saw them dump the bodies in a ditch. I felt outraged that they just put all the bodies in one giant ditch but I bit my tongue and then looked to the gate. "Now what..." I whispered to Max. "Take Robyn and get out." He said. He shot the brand new gate lock then rushed out, starting to fire his weapon. The people turned on him and started to fire, but he managed to take cover. I knew that if I didn't think fast that Max's sacrifice would be in vain. I took Robyn's hand and ran towards the gate. A woman saw us and aimed her gun at us. I dived, pulling Robyn down with me. The bullet shot past us, only minorly damaging a tree. I pulled Robyn up and together we ran as fast as we could away from the camp.
<Max>
I cough up blood, looking up at my kidnappers. My breath came slowly, and raspy. They all looked at me. One took out a pistol, and aimed it at me. I only stuck out my middle finger, and with my last breath I said "Not...today."
