I remember being awoken by a loud buzzard.

Then the feeling of air rushing past me. I began to flail around when realizing that I was sliding down inside some kind of black tube. It was to dark to really know what I was in but knew that it was leading me one way. Down. Where to? Who knows.

   A light at the end of the tube was getting closer and closer, brighter and brighter. I began to prepare for whatever was going to come at the end.

   Hopefully nothing is as bad as what I've been through already. Maybe it won't be bad.

I finally reached the end of the tube and landed with a hard thump! I grunted when landing on the cold metal surface.

Gosh dang it! What's up with people and metal cages? A swoosh sound came from behind and I turned to see the tube I came from was now blocked off. Great. A loud laughing cane from around the corner but couldn't see a thing with the wall.

My eyes averted to the rest of my surroundings outside the cage. Was I in some kind of under ground lab bunker?

On the other side of the room was another person in a cage. She looked familiar. Blonde hair. Empty brown eyes. Worn down doctor sort of clothes.

   Wait...it's the woman from my dream! So that means...

   I turned to see that I wasn't the only one in the cage. There was someone laying down with their back facing me, sleeping. I got a closer look to see...

   "Sabine!" I rejoiced seeing the tempered girl. I woke her up accidentally when shouting her name. Oops.

   "Sabine, am I so glad to see-"

   A sudden force collided with my face, making me fall back against the bars hard. I held my nose and felt a liquid running down from it. Blood. Looking up, Sabine's teeth were clenched in anger and her hand was tightly in a fist. Her face flushed red and boiled with rage.

   She walked over to me and grabbed a handful of my sweatshirt, pushing me harder against the bars. Eyes filled with a burning hatred.

   "YOU MONSTER! FREAK!" She yelled, pulling and pushing me hard against the metal bars. My head collided with the bars repeatedly and started to pound with a headache.

   "Sabine! What are you doing?" I asked, anger filling me.

   "YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DID, PARASITE!" She snapped, "WHY WOULD YOU BLOODY DO THAT! YOU ALMOST KILLED US ALL!"

   I was taken back by her words. What was she talking about?

   She punch me again and I clattered to the floor.

   "I don't know what you're talking about!" I shouted back.

   She laughed but there was nothing funny about it. "I thought we could trust you. I THOUGHT I COULD TRUST YOU!"

   My mind was scrambled and trying to comprehend what she was saying. I was confused and my head having been hit against the hard metal did not help.

   She continued, "I was right the whole time. You are an untrustworthy, PARASITE THAT JUST CAUSES MORE TROUBLE LIKE EVERY OTHER TEENAGE BOY ON THIS EARTH!"

   She huffed before kicking me in the side hard. I held onto my side and gasped for air as the pain throbbed through my head and down to my side.

   She looked down at me neutrally and coldly. Her words stung horribly but the last thing she said finally got to me.

   "And I thought the Infected were the worst monsters that were created," she scoffed, "My mistake. Though you're the walking and talking definition of one." Sabine turned and walked back to her spot in a huff, sitting in the farthest corner of the cage.

   My heart broke. My soul shatter. My very being was crushed. I rolled over onto my back and stared at the top of the cage.

What happened to make her hate me even more? Did I really try to do something to kill them?

Thinking back to the RV tipped to its side...

My eyes widened when realization struck. Was that me? Did I do that? But...how? I don't remember anything after...after getting mad.

   I'm such an idiot.

What have I done? What have I done? What have I done?

The question kept repeating in my head. This was all my fault. I was the one that crashed us. Separated us in this horrible forest. The Whispering Woods. The place where it all started and a magnet for all things evil. So wherever this place is can't be good like the...last place.

Everything's my fault.

   I released my anger, my hate. I released the Fury. The one thing that will not hesitate or think what it's doing. It just releases its power. Its lust for destruction. And I couldn't control it.

"I'm sorry," I said, quietly. I don't deserve to apologize. Truly, I'm a monster. I'm worse than the Infected, at least they have an excuse. They're brain is scrambled and mine was from getting angry.

I sat up carefully and looked over at Sabine.

"I don't know what happened but that wasn't me," I added and tried to stand. Sabine flinched.

She glared, "You are the biggest idiot out there."

I frowned and sighed, "You're right. I am the biggest idiot out there. I almost killed my friends and was forced under pressure to kill three other innocent people. You're right, this is all my fault. I'm surprised you're not burning me to a crisp yet."

She stayed silent and didn't look over at me. I couldn't blame her.

Footsteps clattered around the corner to reveal and small, wrinkly, old man with little pieces of hair on top of his head. Large googles were incased over his eyes.

"Ooo looks like you have a new friend, Subject Hothead," the old man smiled joyfully. I raised an eyebrow at him. He seemed like one of those crazy old scientists.

"How about we call you Subject Pipsqueak?" he said, smiling. I scrunched my nose.

"Hey," I said, annoyed. Great, it's one of those weirdo scientists that are annoyingly smart and dumb. The old man laughed, "The name suits you."

   "Now," he said, clearing his voice, "My name is Doctor Oswald Cornelius, what is your power?" He smiled again. What is up with him smiling?

   "That's none of your business," I replied. Dr. Crazy hummed in a acknowledgement, "Interesting, Subject Hothead didn't mind showing me her power. Do you have one of the inadequate powers."

I raised an eyebrow in confusion, "What?"

"Icky, bad, horrible, some may even say a curse," Dr. Crazy listed, walking closer to the cage. I didn't answer. He smiled and laughed, "I like you, Subject Pipsqueak."

He slid his arm into the cage, a cracker in hand, "Here, have a cracker."

This guy is nuts.

   I didn't take the cracker. Who knows what he put in it. Sleeping stuff? Poison? Some sort of weird serum?

He pulled his arm back, "No, ok. More for me." He ate the cracker and walked off disappearing around the corner. Or maybe it was just a regular cracker. I glanced over to see Sabine had not moved.

My eyes averted to the woman in the cage on the other side. I crawled over to the other side of the cage and sat in front of the bars. My hands clenched the bars and tried fitting my head between two of them.

"Hey, do you know where we are?" I asked. The woman just blinked with the same neutral look on her face. Eyes empty, consciousness in a different world, and hasn't shown any sign of life. Like some sort of zombie or something.

   I glanced back over at Sabine and asked, "Do you know where we are?" She didn't answer or even acknowledge me at all. She seemed distant. Distracted. I grabbed my bag that had pieces of what used to be Chopper.

  I bit down on my lip and held back the tears, sitting on the ground. I took out a couple of pieces and tried to put them together. It didn't work so I kept trying but nothing was working.

"I'm sorry, Chop. I can't do anything right. I'm sorry, Zeb. I'm sorry, Kanan. I'm sorry, Hera. I'm so sorry, Sabine. For whatever I did to hurt you guys," I apologized to no one. Why do I hate myself so much? Answer: I mess up everything.

   A tear fell onto the disassembled Chopper in my hands. More fell after the first.

   It hurt. I broke down.

   I cried silently and held Chopper close. I didn't look back at Sabine, knowing that she wouldn't look back. Couldn't blame her.

   Only myself.
