Turning to my left I saw Lucy's little face light up. She had a cute little pink and blue polka dress on with a little pair of sandals adorned with many small pink and white flowers on. She revealed the black and yellow walkie talkie from her left hand and clicked the button. I heard that familiar static emit from the strap around my thigh. Quickly taking it out making sure not to reveal too much of my leg, I waited for the message she was yet to deliver.
"You look like a princess." She whispered and giggled.
"Come here you." I ran over to her, picking her up and twirling her around. That's when the ringing begin. It was ear splitting. I couldn't think straight. I dropped Lucy to the ground and gripped my ears, clenching my fists around them with my eyes clamped shut. It wasn't long till my knees gave in and I collapsed to the floor in a heap. People's voices faded in and out between the continuous screech.
"What's...on...she...hurt?" One voice seemed to mumble.
"Lauren...okay?...I'm here." I was able to recognise Ryan's voice through the cacophony. I wrenched my eyes open and stared into Ryan's eyes. Everyone was fine.
"You don't hear that?" I shouted over the noise.
"Hear what Lauren? Tell me!" Ryan was panicking now, holding me tight with his hands on my cheeks. The noise began to fade out but before the relief could wash over me completely it began again, this time followed by the rev of an engine. I screamed out in complete agony before blacking out. The last thing I saw was a flag. A white blood stained with red liquid spelling out the words BLOOD PACT.

*Hours later*
My head pounded and my ears rang causing me to flinch in pain. There was still the pain in my head and ears but no where near as agonising as when is last been conscious. My eyes fluttered open to reveal a dark, broken room. It's white washed walls were covered in bullet holes and the paint was peeling of due to the stagnant water leaking from the pipes in the wall.
