It was around one in the morning when I woke to the sound of shattering glass. I bolted up right in my bed. I couldn't see anything, but I knew what I heard was gun shots.

I scrambled out of my bed falling off in process and hitting the ground with a thud. I froze as I heard footsteps approaching my room. They're here!

I decided to play dead because I knew I couldn't escape and I didn't know where the safe room was.

I watched through the little slits my eyes made as I saw a man enter my room. I heard him grunt when he saw me.

"Found one!" He yells out of the open door. He approaches me and I almost squirm when he takes a rope and ties my hands around my back tight, but I stop myself just in time still pretending to be knocked out.

He picked me up and carried me out of the room bridal style.

I watch as we pass lots of other rebels. People in dirty, brown, grey and black clothing with ropes and guns tied onto their belt around their waists.

"Nice find, Chex!" I hear someone congratulation the guy holding me. "She's a keeper! You should go show boss," the guy said again.

"Ya," Chex says walking down the hall and heading out into the garden.

"Hey! Is that Lady Ivy?" A man's voice says this time. I can already tell that these are southern rebels not northern.

"Ya," Chex says. I see people walk up to him patting him on his back for finding me.

"Nice job, Chex. Time to bag her and bring her back to camp," a female voice says.

"Will do, boss." Chex says Pickering me up and throwing me head first into a bag with little holes in it, so I could still breath. So their leader is a female!

I feel us walking again and I have to struggle to stay awake, but I end up passing out from all the blood going to my head and from it being the middle of the night anyway.
