Gabe's POV

We heard the screams all the way from this secret room. Will sounded like he was dying but he won't, right? He's not going to die. Right?

David's still pounding on the shelf but his movements are starting to get slower. Dana had his head in his hands, obviously trying to keep the sound of suffering out. Colton was snuggling. I was just staring at the others, listening to Will's screams of pain. David's hands are starting to bleed now. Better stop him.

"David." I stand up and try to pull him back from the sliding door.

He pulls away easier than I expecting and buries his head in my chest. He's crying. This is breaking us.

Will's in pain, David's crying, Dana's just waiting for it all to be over, Cole's becoming pessimistic and Dalton's becoming overly optimistic. Me? I'm just angry right about now.

The door starts to move again revealing Cody. David doesn't even bother running for the door to escape. Dude hasn't even had two full days in his new school, I can see why he's giving up.

"Morales is next. Then it's Scarzone's turn." The guy says, grabbing me and pushing David away.

The boys don't even bother trying to run for me and the doors close. He forces me into a room and ties me to a chair. A man, I assume he's Rebecca's dad, is there and so is Will. His screams are even louder up close. A weird dome thing is over him and he's bright red, sweat pooling from his forehead and everywhere else for that matter. I want to help him but I know I can't.

Then his head is engulfed in flames. I look away, he's going to be burned alive. He's gonna die a horrible death and I won't even get to tell anybody about it, because Ill be next.

I squeeze my eyes before looking back, I assumed I would see ashes where the kid once was but he's still there. The fire left his head and left no trace of a fire. His underwear looked a little singed but everything else was completely fine. No burn marks, no burned hairs, nothing. He was unconscious though.

"Perfect, see that Mr. Morales? Your friend here is the real life Human Torch." The man spoke as I stared.

Human Torch? Wasn't he that superhero from the Fantastic Four?

The weird scientist dude unstrapped Will from the table after lifting the dome thing off and carried him to Cody. He whispers something inaudible to him and Cody carries him away.

"Why are you doing this?" I grumble

"Science Mr. Morales, science. Now, my wife's favourite superhero is going to be a little trickier than others. This superhero doesn't exactly have powers. This'll hurt less than the others though." He grins, I want to punch him, very badly.

Then I'm untied and before I can start to fight I'm stripped and strapped to the table. A bunch of tubes are moved closer to me and then they dig into my skin.

I scream in pain. I dig my fingernails into the palms of my hands to try and distract myself. It doesn't work. Something is placed around my head, over my eyes and I start seeing things.

The others, the others. I know I'm hallucinating but I see them. It's like I'm in a simulation. It feels all too real.

I'm placed on top of a high building first. I look around and see cars driving below. Why am I here? Then the door leading to the stairs bangs open, out comes Will.
He runs to the edge of the building and stops. What is he doing?

"Will!" I yell, running up to him.

He looks back and gives a small smile. He turns to face me and puts his arms out, reaching out beside him. His legs are pressed together and he's about to tip over the edge.

"I can't take it anymore." He whispers and leans backwards.

"No!" I yell and reach out for him but it's already to late. He tumbles to the streets below and before he reaches the ground I'm in front of Cole and another guy.

Cole looks scared, the person behind him is holding a gun to his head. I want to fight him but my legs don't seem to work.

"I've seen too much, I've seen to much." Cole whimpers and the guy starts to pull the trigger.

I reach out only to be put in another simulation. This time David is there. His eyes are blank and his face is pale.

"I'm sorry." He says suddenly.

"For what?" I ask, a little too afraid to.

He holds out his hands and there are pills. Too many to be safe. Then he puts them in his mouth.

"No! David!" I yell but it's too late, he falls backwards.

I can't even check his pulse before Dalton appears. A knife was sticking out of his stomach. Blood pooling everywhere. He smiles like a madman before fainting before my very eyes. I shut them, too much. This is too much.

"Gabe?" A voice says.

I look up and see Dana. No, not him. Not him too.

"Are you ok?" He asks.

"Y-yeah." No, no I'm not. I watched my friends die in front of my eyes don't let it be real, don't let it be real. I just started calling them my friends, I can't.

He gives me a pat on the back and a smile. But the image soon fades away to reveal a television.

"The following found dead in the giant tsunami are fortunately few. The Vaughns' family and the Morales' family. One of the Morales' stayed home and didn't meet the same fate as his family." The reporter said.

No, this isn't real Gabe. THIS ISN'T REAL!

Then darkness floods in.

Out of no where a voice comes.

"You can do nothing to stop this. Your friends died one by one. You could do nothing." It said.

I scream and feel pain on my knuckles but ignore it. This isn't real Gabe, it's not real.
