One.. two.. three.. Three people down! (Wanderer, Open)

"I..I..I" I bit my tongue. I could say it, what was the worst that could happen. "I..I don't think.." I couldn't I trailed off.

I took another deep breath and when I spoke, my voice was soft again. "You don't think what?" I asked, smiling.

"They are.." I was trying to think how to put it. "I don't think they will be.. around. I don't think you will find them"

I got what she was saying instantly. "You think they've been. . erased?" I asked, cringing a little. All three of them were like family. The last of the human race.

"I dont know. If they are anything like- um.. They my still be there." I said, cringing at my slip up.

"Anything like. . ." I said, urging her to carry on.

"Nothing" I said a little too fast. I shook my head.

I sighed and flashed a glance at the exit, incase anyone was coming. I looked at Wanderer again. "Look, Wanderer, you can tell me. I'm not going to kick off." I smiled. It was only a little lie, but hopefully, her secret wouldn't be anything bad.

"I don't know anything" I said, frowning and pulling myself tighter.

I sighed, straightened up and wandered off towards the end of the corridor. I wasn't going to leave, but it seemed that this was the only place I was going to get any peace.

I relaxed a little when she left. I loosened myself and crawled to the hole. They needed to go on another raid so the hole was empty. I crawled in and laid down.

I sighed quietly when she went inside. I heard footsteps, but I couldn't tell if they were coming this way. Probably not.

I closed my eyes and tried to forget everything that has happened.

I stayed where I was. I hadn't even noticed I'd been crying until the crying got louder. I didn't know why I was crying. Was it because Becca, Ever and Abbi were missing? Was it because I didn't know what had happened to the? Was it because I knew it could happen to Liam? Or.. was it because I knew I'd been horrible to Wanderer, and really she didn't do anything wrong?
To none of these questions I had the answers.

I heard tami crying but I stayed quiet though. I stayed curled up in the corner until I realised I actually need to talk to someone

When I remembered Wanderer in the hole, I stood up and left. Maybe she would come out now, instead of being cramped in the ball. I ran to my room and curled up in a ball on the mattress.

After a while. I got out and went into the big cavern. Big mistake with my eyes all red and puffy. I rubbed at them to get rid of the tears but that just made it worse. I sighed and carried on walking, trying to ignore the stares.

I wandered over to Wanderer. haha like what I did there? And saw her red eyes. She's been crying. "Wanderer, beth sy'n bod?" I asked, not wanting to speak English to the rest of them.

My face said it all when Cerdd walked up to me. I just looked at her, completly confused.

"What's wrong?" I whispered, so quiet only Wanderer would hear.

My eyes widened as she spoke english. "Umm.. yes" I said.

I frowned and tried again. Did she speak English? "Wanderer, what's the matter?" I asked, still in my whisper.

I sighed, I knew she wouldn't tell anyone anything. "Its the others, the ones that are missing" I explained.

"Beth am-" I stopped and sighed. "What about them?" I asked, worried that she would be this cut up.

"I..I.. I don't know, I think they may have been.. um.. ca..captured. Snowie is begging me to save them.. But.. But.. I can't I..I just can't" I explained and then after I said it, realizing I had said too much.
