Chapter 3: New Day, New Life
Alexis wakes up the next day in her room.
Alexis: "(depressed) The news and the doctors wouldn't shut up yesterday."
Samuel: "(puzzled) Why you so glum about that? I thought it was great."
Alexis: "(getting dressed) When you begin to question why you are alive, you just don't want to deal with it."
Alexis finishes getting dressed.
Samuel: "Just who did I bond with?"
Alexis: "(depressed) Even I don't know."
Samuel: "Let's just get ourselves to school."
Alexis meets up with Amanda at the usual place.
Amanda: "Yesterday was pretty crazy huh?"
Alexis: "Yep."
Samuel: "That's going to be the least of your concerns. Soldiers will be after us now."
Alexis: "(in head) At least there will finally have change."
The two enter their first period as the bell rings.
Teacher: "Now for attendance, Adams..."
Samuel: "I'll have to shut up today, don't I?"
Alexis: "(in head) Yep."
The teacher has gotten to Alexis as she was talking to Samuel.
Teacher: "(irritated) Heartfield!!"
Alexis: "(startled) Here!"
Teacher: "(calmly) Thank you. Irestone?"
Amanda: "Present."
Classes pass by in a flash until lunch.
Amanda: "(puzzled) Why were you spacing out first period?"
Alexis thinks for a moment.
Alexis: "I'm just tired."
Amanda: "(in head) There is something there that wasn't there until yesterday. I feel it."
Samuel: "Looks like she's onto us."
Alexis: "(in head) She is a straight A student like me, she's not dumb."
The days move on for a week, until school finishes next Tuesday as Amanda meets Alexis in the main hallway.
Amanda: "Alex, you're hiding something from me."
Alexis: "Why do you think that?"
Amanda: "You're spacing out, as if you're talking to someone.."
Samuel: "Because you are."
Amanda: "(crying) Not knowing hurts."
Amanda attempts to put a piece to a different puzzle in her head on this mystery.
Amanda: "(crying) Is it suicide?"
Amanda grabs Alexis's shirt.
Amanda: "(crying) Is it?!"
Alexis: "You can't understand."
Amanda walks outside.
Amanda: "(crying) I'm going!"
Alexis rushes out the door.
Alexis: "(frozen with fear) Amanda."
A Soldier, thinking Amanda is Alexis, rushes at Amanda with it's sword.
Alexis: "(screaming) Amanda run!!!!"
The Soldier stabs through Amanda's heart.
Samuel: "(grossed out) Jesus!"
Amanda falls to the ground, not knowing the cause of the giant hole in her chest.
Amanda: "(shedding a final tear) Is god choosing me to die now?"
Amanda's eyes fade as Alexis rushes to her body.
Alexis: "(pissed) Bastards..."
Samuel: "I'm with you. Even if I really didn't know her, I can tell she was your friend. No one deserves to lose everything!"
Alexis stands up and walks away from the blood pool.
Alexis: "(crying) Zero Fiction!"
Time stops as the spear enters Alexis's hand.
Alexis: "(crying) I'll kill you bastards!"
