certain someone instead of Lilly or if it was because it brought me memories of me and Lilly having fun together before when I was “normal.” my frown didn't go unnoticed but I tried to hide it 'yeah but in a way I'm glad that I ignored–,' I froze when I was about to say Lilly's name and again this didn't go unnoticed. I took a deep breath and continued 'we wouldn't be friends if I hadn't ignored....if I hadn't ignored....' I started crying. I couldn't hold my feelings in anymore.

They all gave me a sympathetic half smile and then gave me a massive group hug.

'oh hunny I'm glad you ignored her too. I'm glad that you became friends with me, to come to think of it if our fight hadn't got us locked in a room then I would probably be dead or wherever the others are and you would probably have been killed by Peter and the others by now.'

Carter kind of cheered me up a little bit but I was still in deep tears.

'Carter's right. Your a great friend and if it wasn't for Carter's bravery and of course yours, we wouldn't be here talking to you now. Heck we wouldn't even know you.'

I half smiled at Luke and Carter, this didn't change the fact that I was still crying though.

'Ruth your a great friend. You were the one who brought us together. Me and Lindsey would still be trapped in the village if you hadn't come and of course we wouldn't b friends with you or the others if it wasn't for you.'

this kind of cheered me up and I almost smiled at Katy and the others but then I remembered Lilly 'still, if I had listened to her and not had a fight with Carter, then we wouldn't be in this mess and Lilly wouldn't be in hospital.'

Carter looked down, he looked like he was either going to burst out in tears or burst out in anger, I wasn't quite sure which one.

'Ruth don't say that. Like Carter said if you hadn't been locked in that classroom, then you would be dead. Lilly will be fine. I'm sure she's doing fine'

this really annoyed me but she had a point. Lilly was just in hospital, she wasn't dead. I would be dead if I hadn't had Carter with me. I half smiled but I was still upset 'I can't face loosing another person, I cant!' after I said that I burst out in tears. They all ran to give me a group hug again in attempt to try and cheer me up.

Carter sighed

'I'm sorry sweetheart, I shouldn't have mentioned Lilly in the first place'


I actually smiled at that and it didn't go unnoticed. What made flew through my head was, was I really happy with him calling me names like sweetheart? I let this thought fly past though, Luke didn't though. He just glared at him. To come to think of it so did Sam, how...annoying. I gave a fake smile 'it doesn't matter Carter. I'm just upset' as I said that I saw my mum look at her watch and sigh

'it's almost eight, time to go to school. Oh and Ruth don't worry it'll all be okay, don't let anyone bother you today'

this made me smile even more, okay apart from the bit when she said that we had to go to boring...school

Tara sighed

'your mum's right Ruth it'll all be okay, we won't let anyone bother you today.,' Tara paused as she glanced me smile. 'if they do then they'll have us to deal with.'

I smiled and followed the others to school, maybe they were right, maybe today would be fine. It took about five minuted to walk to school today, as soon as we were about to walk in the gates I stopped and took a deep breath. The others noticed.

'Ruth come on' as Tara said that she grabbed my had and lead me in the gates, Ben helped.

I sighed and reluctantly let them lead me into the gates. Just as I feared though lodes of people came rushing up to us bombarding us with questions

'HEY RUTH! ARE YOU OKAY! WHAT'S GOING ON WITH LILLY? IS SHE OKAY'

'I HEARD ABOUT LILLY, WHAT HAPPENED!'

'WHAT HAPPENED TO LILLY'

'IS LILLY OKAY? I HEARD THAT SHE GOT SHOT'

all of these questions were driving me nuts! I was so fed up with all of these questions UGH! I wasn't in the mood to argue with them and so I just walked off. It didn't work though, it just attracted more people.

'IS LILLY OKAY, I HEARD SHE GOT SHOT! IS THAT TRUE? IS SHE OKAY'

'HAY RUTH WAIT UP! YOU HAVEN'T ANSWERED MY QUESTION!'

'HAY RUTH ARE YOU OKAY! WERE REALLY WORRIED ABOUT YOU!'

okay now I was even more angry. I couldn't take it anymore, suddenly the sounds became to go all muffled and my yes became all blurry. What was happening? I could only just hear what was going on?

'HAY! LEAVE HER ALONE!'

my eyes were to blurry and my ears were to muffled to tell which one of my friends were talking

'YEAH! LEAVE HER ALONE! HER BEST FRIEND AND OUR FRIEND IS IN HOSPITAL!'

suddenly everything went black and I couldn't see or hear anything anymore.

Chapter twenty-seven The Test

I think I have mentioned this before but what do you think of dreams? Many of you think that dreams are just things that appear in your head while your asleep, people just think that dreams are things that appear in your head that aren't true, they are wrong. I used to think that they weren't true until I had my first dream that was true, the dream I had told me that my kidnappers were destroying my village setting everything on fire in search for me. They also trapped the survivors there, this is where I met Lindsey and Katy. Since then I've had lodes of dreams that have come true and I still do, it sucks.


My day had only just started when people pestered me about Lilly and that really stressed me out. Then something weird happened, I think I might have fainted, except before everything blacked out everything went blurry and all of the noise was muffled. Now it felt like I was dead, like I was floating into the middle of nowhere. Except I felt like I wasn't meant to be there, wherever I was. I couldn't see anything but I could definitely feel and it didn't feel right wherever I was, finally I could see again but the biggest question was, where was I? I still felt weird but that wasn't my concern right now. As my vision became clearer It became clearer where I was, I was in Sydney. Why though, why would anyone bring me to Sydney? I was born in Sydney but I was kidnapped and brought to America so what would anyone want with me in Sydney? It was great to be in Sydney again though. I was so glad to be back that I found myself walking towards the beach

'I was wondering when you'd find me'

I jumped and turned to see my dad. This made me angry 'what am I doing here dad?' I said in an annoyed tone

he gave a sly smile

'what's with the attitude, aren't you glad to be back in Sydney'

okay this made me even more angry 'cut the act dad, why am I here? Oh and B.T.W I am not in Sydney'

he gave an evil smile

'what act? I'm not doing an act.,' he paused and gave an evil smile. Him saying that slyly was enough for me. 'your not here yet but you will be'

okay now this made me even more angry 'oh and what's that supposed to mean...?'

he gave another evil smile and turned to a house that was on the beach

'you see that house over there, this is going to be our house'

okay now I was angry, there was no way that I was EVER going to live with him 'um I hate to tell you this dad but as long as I know about you, there is no way that I’m ever going to move in with you'

he gave an evil smile

'oh and why is that?'

I spat on the ground in anger, boy I hadn't done that in years. 'because you killed mum and as long as I know that I will never live with you. Also my new mum Vicky and my friends know about you and they will never let you live with me!'

he gave me an evil smile

'we'll see about that'

this really annoyed me but before I could retaliate I slipped into thin air again, ugh. With what seemed like five minuted of floating in the air my sight finally came back but I wasn't back at school, great... I soon realized that I was still in Sydney but I wasn't in the beach and my dad was no where to be seen, well that's a plus. I was in an overgrown field, why was I in an overgrown field? Oh this just got weirder and weirder.

'behind you'

I jumped and turned to see a weird lady 'who are you'

she laughed

'miss Barrock you are about to be tested'

okay now this annoyed me 'who are you' I repeated

'it is not necessary that you know my name'

'who are you' I repeated in an annoyed tone

she sighed

'Leah. You are about to be tested'

okay now I was interested 'tested?'

'you and your friends are going to be tested and this is where it begins'

okay now I was confused, I nearly laughed 'in a field'

'and how do you know that were on a field?' she said slyly

I rolled my eyes 'um because were in an over grown bit of field that has tractor marks on it'

'ah but are you sure about that'

before I could react the scenery changed and I was standing outside Ben's house

'your eyes can play tricks on you miss Barrock, surely you know that'

okay now I freaked out, what just happened 'um what just happened?'

she laughed

'your being tested miss Barrock'

okay now this annoyed me, why did she keep repeating that I’m being tested 'why am I being “tested”?'

she laughed

'your being tested and that's all you need to know,' she paused and looked at her watch 'oh look at the time, I’m off. Good luck, oh and don't forget your eyes play tricks on you'

'no wait....!' it was to late though she was gone. Suddenly the scenery changed and with what seemed like two minutes, I was in Ben's house. Okay now things got weirder and weirder, I still felt like I wasn't supposed to be here but I also had another feeling but I wasn't quite sure what I felt just yet.
