tried to kill me before’ they heard moaning behind them, was this the end for them? of course it wasn’t I shouldn’t think that he thought. Foster reached into his pocket and pulled out a very sharp stone out he had five in his pocket, he always carried it, just in case.

The Morning

Liam was resting his non sore foot on the ground, he decided that he might just try to put his sore foot on the ground...maybe. Sal was just sitting there, something was obviously troubling her, it might be the fact that Foster or Bob hadn’t came back or just staying in this room for the next week. Maddy was just being Maddy, she was leaning against the wall next to him.

“I wonder when Foster and Bob are coming back, I wonder if they decided to stop to turn the power on or not”? Maddy said randomly. She got up and walked over to the light switch and flicked it, the power turned on…”Wow, thanks lets hope they get here soon”

She walked back to Liam and sat back beside him.

 

Just then the door opened a bit and in stepped Foster, Lilly and Bob they shut the door on a hand, it pulled back instantly. Liam instantly went back against the wall, he was bemused at the fact that Foster had allowed her to come in here. He was about to ask why he had allowed that. He noticed that Foster had a limp, Bob was covered in scratches and Lily was staring at him. He was about to say something when Maddy said something before he could.

“What the hell were you thinking Foster, no afence but, what were you thinking, and what the hell happened to you and Bob, I mean really”.

 

“Well, It’s simple really, I was just with Bob and then Lilly joined us… and I’ll tell the rest later, ok”

“Why, can’t you tell us now”? explained Sal

He didn’t answer Sal, he went to sit down next to Sal, Bob went and sat on the other side of Liam for safety just in case Lilly tried to stab him again. Maddy was trying to calm Liam down, she was whispering in his ear ‘it’s ok I’ll make sure that she won't hurt you, ok’. The next few hours was agonising, just sitting there. With Lilly in the room everyone was keeping their eyes on her so she doesn't do something stupid or try and stab anyone.

 

“This is boring...we should do something, thanks for turning the power back on...to much injury don’t you reckon”? said Maddy, she was bored out of her mind

“Yep it is,and yes”said Sal

“Sooo...why did you to go back there, I mean there was no point, was there”? Foster was hoping that Liam would answer his question

“...,...well, I guess there...was a point, I...a, can’t tell you though”

“Why not”? Foster said

“Because, I...a can’t”

“C'mon Foster stop nagging him” Maddy interrupted

“I’m aloud to, now why can’t you, The De...I mean were you went, what reason for”?

Liam sighed and then said “well…I guess I could...you remember when we got stuck, and went to see the dinosaurs, well once we came back...I thought of something and decided to go to the place…”

“Did you find what you were looking for”

“Yep”

“And what was that”?

“Clues”

“Clues”?

“Well, we've got one here” Liam pointed to Lilly

“Her”? said Maddy and Sal

“Me”? Lilly said

“No, more like the necklace that she is wearing”

“How”? Maddy said

“I’ll tell you later”

 

“Why not now”? said Foster, he’d always get the last remark

“Because I’ve got a headache, and I’ve said too much” he replied

 

Silence

 

“This necklace” he nodded “wow” Lily exclaimed, her blue eyes flashed

“So, whats so special about it”? Foster wanted to know

“Dunno” he replied, he gave Foster ‘I’ll tell you later’ look

“Ok” Foster said

Talking to Lilly

I woke up this morning and only Liam was awake, by the look of him he’d been awake for almost the whole night thought Sal, she was thing about waking up someone to talk to apart from Liam because he was drifting in out of sleep, probably afraid of Lily or a nightmare. Maddy just woke up with a massive yawn

“Good Morning”

“You to” Sal replied, she was about to wake Foster up when he woke up in an instant

“What...oh, goodmorning” he said, he looked over to Liam, Sal did to, Foster could obviously see that he had about roughly one or two hours of sleep.

“Liam, get some sleep, I’m awake now so it’s ok”

“Yes, sir” Liam replied sarcastically

“Go to sleep, or I’ll get Bob” as Foster said his name he walked in “That's helpful” Liam closed his eyes and eventually went to sleep.

“That was fun” Sal said sarcastically

“Really, so what do we do now, or do we have to sit here today”?

“No, we walk about in this room and talk about whatever” said Maddy

“Precisely, Maddy” said Foster

“I was being sarcastic Foster”

While they had been arguing Sal noticed that Lily was awake, and was watching everyone, mostly Liam sleeping. Sal literally punched Maddy in her side, she looked angry and sad that Sal would do that to her. Sal pointed to Lilly, which caught Maddie's attention then she nudge Foster gently in the side and told Foster, than he whispered to Bob who kept a close eye on her for the rest of the day.

 

Liam awoke, he saw that Lily was awake, he suddenly thought that it was stupid to dwell on the fact that she might hurt him, but then again the knife was safely hidden in the safe. He looked around, Sal was talking to Maddy and Foster was talking to Bob, and Lily was staring at him.

 

He moved into a sit passion, then said to Sal that was sitting next to him “Hey… Sal, um...hi” she noticed then said back “Hi how are you today, I’ll fill you in to what we are doing to day, we are just...sitting here, surprise huh” then Maddy said “Good Morning, you should sleep at night it’s not healthy, and that's not a big surprise, good try at trying to sarcastic, but you failed, sorry”. “Right, thanks nice to know, Im better than I was”. he replied, although he wasn’t so sure they, or he believed that was true. “Sure...your better, can you walk, thought not and you said you were better” said Bob, he’d realized that Liam was no awake, so did Foster but he was just listening. “So, Foster how are you this morning” said Liam, hoping that he heard him “I'm good, so you know what we are doing today, do you” “Yes, we are going to go walking about outside and talk to Becks”

“What, no we're…” Foster didn’t finish his sentence because Liam, Sal and Maddy interrupted him “Were going to sit in here for the rest of the week” they all said at the same time. Just then Becks walks in and sits down next to Maddy. “Hi Becks, long time no see” she said

“Hello everyone, what happened to you Liam, hi Sal, Bob and Foster...who is this”? Becks said as she pointed at Lilly

 

“What happened to me is on a need to know basis, and that's Lily” Liam said, with a tone of disgust in his voice.

“So where have you been” he said, as he and Lilly were death looking each other, at this point the ‘if looks could kill’ statement was true. Sal had noticed, and whispered something to Becks

“I have been in…” Liam didn’t let her finished because he knew where she'd been “Ok”

 

Silence

Bob was eyeing Becks trying to figure out how Sal mistaken her for a boy, Liam was talking to Beck's, Foster was supposed to be talking to Maddy and Sal. “How’s your shoulder Sal” said Foster, this snapped Sal out of daze after a second she answered “Good, well better than when ‘she’ stabbed it” she’d emphasized the word ‘she’

“That’s true, hey look” Maddy pointed to Liam “He’s glaring at her with a lot of hate”

“I don’t blame him though” Sal said, what Foster said next stopped all conversation in the room, “Hey, Lilly can you come over here for a second”

Leaving the building

Liam froze, he almost fell off the bed, Sal had noticed Maddy got up, they came over and helped him up, they walked and Liam limped over to where Sal was sitting before. He’d just realized that his bandages were clean, Bob had probably changed them before he went to charge. Bob walked over to make sure Liam was ok, that meant that Foster and Lily were the only ones over the right side of the room.

Then Liam said “What...”

“Foster” Maddy hissed out of her mouth

“Why”? whispered Sal quietly and hoped that she got heard

But Foster had already started to talk quietly to Lily so he didn’t hear any of them, what happened next shocked everyone and stopped all conversation in the room. Mady who was normal kind, yelled out “STOP”!!! “RIGHT NOW, just stop it, why Foster, why”?! she’d said the last six words quietly.

 

Silence

 

Some more silence, what had this world come to? had this to be how people fighted, by yelling, and stabbing people? thought Liam sadly, by the look on Sal’s face she was thinking the same thing. Then Foster spoke up in a quiet and small voice “I had to”

“Sure” snapped Liam in utter disgust

“What’s this all about, I have I missed something”? questioned Becks, as fore she didn’t know what they were yelling and whispering about

 

Liam moved to the edge of the bed, he rested his feet on the ground, he was testing his weight on his sore foot on the ground beside his other foot. Liam decided that his foot could take the weight, he was slowly but surely getting up, his foot killed as he got up. Liam took a steep while the others were
