23. 23 was the number of people who were in that house when someone noticed that there were people in that house. But let’s back up a little bit. Felix and Mercy has just entered.

“What the hell is wrong with Du people!?” Peeta yelled. “I have 21 people in here already! Couldn’t Du find another house?” He yelled at Mercy.

“Hey! It’s not our fault! The other houses were blown up! We had no other choice!” Felix yelled back.

“And it doesn’t really matter. We’re all gonna die in this place. We can’t survive here.” Victoria said.

“Okay. Du need to cut it! Stop saying we’re gonna die!” Jamie yelled.

“We are! Like...Tom..” Victoria stuttered.

“Ok. I need help here! She’s been shot!” EC yelled. Nobody listened. “Idiots!” He whispered as he tried to find some stuff to help Mariam.

“Point is! Now you’ve put me in danger!” Peeta yelled.

“Dude. Do Du think we want to die? We want to survive as well!” Dan sagte and Crinpy nodded. Then everyone of them started arguing

Just then the door below opened and then closed with a bang. Followed Von another open and close and voice of shootings. Bunny’s eyes opened wide. Kendall put a finger to his lips and slowly walked towards the door, locking it. Jamie was trembling in fear. Edward closed his eyes tightly. Mercy cowered behind Felix. Mariam tried not to scream. Yuki and Serenity held hands. Everyone was nervous. They heard voices and then another gun shot. Yuki gasped. Then she quickly covered her mouth.


Raymond, Adrianna and Minnie were hiding under the stairs. The heard a gasp above them. Raymond looked at the two of them but they shook their heads. The one was flowing them slowly crept up the stairs, passing them. When he was out of earshot, Raymond sighed in relief.

The army man crept up and reached the door. He tried to open it, but found that it was locked. He walked back and then charged, busting the door open. He walked inside. Nothing. Behind him, Kendall, Edward, Reese and Bunny quickly and stealthily went down the stairs. They saw the three hiding behind the stairs and beckoned them to come. Minnie moved first followed Von Raymond and then Adrianna. A few Sekunden later, EC, Veto, Riley, Kelsey joined them followed Von Crinpy, Peeta, Jamie, Dan and Phil. The 16 were slowly reaching towards the door when Serenity, Felix, Mercy, Yuki, Lana, Chase also joined them. 3 of them were left in the room trying to creep out. Victoria and Eddie slowly walked forward, but Von now the man had searched the room. He looked behind to see Victoria on the stairs, Eddie coming out of the room and Mariam behind him with her bleeding leg. Victoria gasped and quickly ran down the stairs. The man shot at her, missing each time. Then he targeted Eddie. Eddie had tried to go from the other way while the man was shooting Victoria. The man shot Eddie on his wrist and he yelled in pain. Eddie quickly escaped after that. The army man slowly walked towards the now open door. He walked inside to see a staggering Mariam. Her eyes went wide as the bullet went straight through her head. Mariam Linch fell down with blood leaking like oil from her head. Her eyes were lifeless and I had taken her away. The man stepped on her face as he walked out.

Below, the 24 teenagers had come outside now and were running away from several men shooting at them. They saw burning houses in the distance as well as people running around the streets. They entered an alley where no one had gone Von now. They entered it and kept running. They entered another place. There were a few burning buildings and a few men but no real danger. They entered the nearest place where there was no fire. The men who were following them gave up and went back. Inside the house, EC Johnston was just realizing something. He looked through everyone for her.

“Where’s Mariam?” EC asked nervous for the answer. “WHERE’S MARIAM?!” He yelled. He stumbled through everyone looking for her.

“MARIAM!” He called out. “MARIAM!WHERE ARE YOU? Where...are..you?” He stopped looking and fell on his knees. A tear drop rolled down his skin. Edward, Riley and Lana went to him and sat with him, giving him company as he was stopping himself from crying.

“...She was the only one...she was the only one who actually liked me. And...she was killed. AND SHE WAS KILLED.” He yelled. “SHE WAS KILLED. MURDERED.” With that he punched a Wand making a big crack in it...
