I couldn't see how Andy could stand up here and not get scared at the sheer number of people that rushed into the auditorium when the bells were rung. I saw Ashley, Jinxx, and Zain walk in at once followed shortly by a pissed off Andy. I tried not to make eye contact with him and looked over the people as Jinxx shut the huge doors. The crowd was silent, confused about who was up on the podium.

I took a breath to consider what I was going to say to them. "I'm not normally up here. My name is Catherine, I came to this camp with my friend Esther." I paused waiting for inspiration to come to my head about exactly what it was I was going to tell them to get them ready for a revolution. "As you know Esther has gone missing, she has been taken by F.E.A.R. I want her back. We have all had our confrontations with him. Some distant, others it felt like he was in your own home. I want to take back what he has stolen from us! He has taken our homes, our friends, my parents!" The people mumbled words I couldn't understand. "What he has done is no longer stories that parents tell their children to be good and eat their vegetables, it's personal now. We need to rise up and reclaim what is ours. Not by giving food to the ones who need it, but by storming F.E.A.R.s gates! I want a revolution. Who's with me?" The people roared with agreement. I smiled and rested my hands on the edges of the podium. "Let's give 'em hell."


F.E.A.R. POV


"The rebels claim their brave new world is upon us. Do not be fooled by the chicanery in which they lay their claim. It is false, and their uprising will not succeed. You will place your trust in F.E.A.R. You must!"
