Thorns tore into Madison's back and she screamed as the pain shot up her spine. The sound of ripping startled her and her shirt ripped in half. She didn't have time for this! She kept running, dodging limbs and bushes as she went along.

"Stop her!" she heard the voice behind her called.

The sound of gunshots filled the air. Madison kept running. She wasn't going to give up. She spun around, trying to see how close they were. A sudden pain struck through her body. She halted and jerked. She placed a hand on her stomach and held it to her face. Through the moon's light, she could see the blood.

"I'm going to die. This is it. I'm dead." she murmed as she fell to the ground. There was no hope left. She let out a loud scream as the pain filled her body. She saw a bright light and forced a smile. She was going to meet her Heavenly father soon, and nothing was going to stop her. She closed her eyes and took a last breath, screaming as she let it out. She was dead.

**IN PRISON HOSPITAL**

"Madison? Madison! Wake up! It's okay. It was just a dream."

Madison flew up and looked around. She was in another room. It was filled with beds and windows. On the left, there were machines and tools, as well as a door, leading to the foyer. On her right, there was a boy. To her surprise, he looked beaten as well. She looked up and saw Sarah.

"Wha..what's going on? I..I was dead."

"No honey. It was just a dream. It's all okay, you're here now."

"Where?" Madison shrilled. She was scared and nervous, especially after thinking she was dead.

"At the medical room. A young man asked me to help you heal."

Madison laid back down with a confused expression on her face. She had no idea who this "young man" was, and she wanted to know. Suddenly, the boy beside her groaned.

"I better go check on him," Sarah said, "You can go in the foyer, the young man is there."

Madison got up and left, crouching over as she limped. The pain was almost unbearable. She struggled to open the door, but managed it quite well. She looked up and saw a young man standing there.

**IN PRISON LOBBY**

"Who are you?" Madison asked quickly, before the boy could say anything.

"I'm Luke. I.."

"Why did you "save" me?"

"I am a missionary kid as well. But, techonically, I didn't save you. You're still in prison, but I just asked for you to be cared for a little better."

"What was the price of that?" Madison asked as her blue eyes twinkled.

"No need to worry about that. As long as your safe, that's all that matters." the boy smiled and turned to leave.

"How old are you?" Madison shouted as he walked away.

"Seventeen. I'll be here to check on you tomorrow."

He turned around and the door closed. Madison smiled and walked back to the room.

"I wonder who exactly he is?" she thought in her head, "And why would he be so nice?"
