I wake up to the sound of car doors slamming shut. My door opens and Travis is there, shaking me awake.

"Let's go." Is all he says before walking away.

I get out and follow him inside a rundown building. Broken windows, weeds almost as tall as me, and just dirt  everywhere make it obvious no one has been here for a while.

"Um....why are we here?" I ask looking around.

"Jay will explain everything.....if he doesn't kill you first. Just keep your mouth shut and stay close to one of us." Travis said looking back at me.

"Okay?" I answer unsure of what else to say. We reach the dented doors and walk inside. Travis leads us down many hallways, and I don't think I would have been able to find my way back with all the turns we took.

A scream of pure agony echoes through the air and I jump.

"W-what was that?"

"The reason you should stay close to us." He murmurs.

I take a step closer to him.

This place is seriously freaking me out.

He leads us down another hall, and stops outside a door.

"Hazel, when we go in there, you are to keep your mouth shut. Don't ask anything during the meeting. Silence okay?"

"Um okay?" I say not able to come up wth some witty or sarcastic reply.

He opens the door and we walk in. Sitting around a large wood table, several large men with tattoos chat but fall silent as we enter. I notice one girl, also with tattoos sitting at the end. Jay is the only one without a visible tattoo, although I'm starting to think he probably has one. Travis tugs on my arm, pulling me to a seat next to Jay. He sits on my other side.

"Alright everyone is here. Kale, this room is clean correct?" Jay begins.

One man with dirty blonde hair nods and says "Yes sir. I double checked. No bugs or cameras."

"Good. I called this netting to discuss a few things. First, I've heard that the X-Ender gang is planning to attack us from some trustworthy people. We should be prepared to attack back, and defeat them. As of now, they are not a major threat. But I am aware they are recruiting more people everyday." Jay continues on in a deep voice, taking leadership.

"I was thinking that maybe we should relocate. If the X-Enders are going to attack us, if we aren't even here it would throw them off. We could find somewhere with more space."

"Also once I start assigning positions, you will be living at my house. We will come up with some sort of schedule for cleaning and food. And that brings me to out next subject."

"This is Hazel, my fiancée. She and Travis live with me. If she misbehaves, tell me immediately and I will deal with her. She doesn't seem to understand that rules apply to her. That is all for today. Any questions?" He finishes.

I open my mouth to ask a question, but he cuts me off saying,

"Anyone that's not Hazel." Nobody speaks. "Alright, you are dismissed."  I
sigh and say
   "Am I allowed to ask a question now!" Jay stares at me not answering, so I take that as a yes and continue,
            "What in the Hades did I just witness?!"  Trevor stifles a laugh by coughing, and Jay answer with a question.
     "Do you know how to shoot a gun?"
     "That's not an answer," I sing. He grunts and says,
     "Just answer the da-"
     "-rn"
     "Question." He rolls his eyes.
    "I don't know how to shoot, nor do I intend to learn to or fire a gun."
  "Well you will learn, if you want to stay alive. What's your favorite color by the way? I need to know so my mom can plan the wedding." I choked on the water Trevor had handed me as we argued. He still thinks that's happening?!
    "What wedding?" I ask innocently.

If looks could kill, I'd be six feet under already.

    "Cut the bull sh- crap Hazel, and just answer the freaking question." I smirked a little noticing he stopped himself and answered "Fine, blue. Any blue at all. When's this wedding? And will anyone I know be there?"
   "I'll be there!" Trevor chimed in. I rolled my eyes and glared at him. He smirked at me.
   "Enough about the wedding. I'll teach you to shoot tomorrow. Trevor will take you home, listen to him of I swear on your life, you will regret it. People are gonna start moving in with us. I'll go over the rules with you later. Now, go." He said looking me dead in the eye.
     I frowned at the swearing on my life part, and spoke up, "Uh, don't go around assessing in my-" the door banged open. A deep voice said
   "Jay, long time no see."
