They took her. I can't believe that after it all, Mom stopped. I need to talk to my great grandma, Eleadora. I call her Gran. She knows a lot about before so maybe she can help. Calm down, I tell myself. Think. Who could be behind this? The Immortal.

   The exercises are every three hours now.You can't be caught snooping around.You need to wait until the next exercise is over so you won't get stuck doing them while you talk to Gran, the rational part of my mind says. The waiting is unbearable.

   I eat a snack, painfully gulping it down. I'm so worried. Then I get a list in my head of the questions I'm going to ask.

#1 How did the Immortal come to power?

#2 Why doesn't anyone know who he is?

#3 What happened to the presidents from before?

   I need to know what happens to the people that get taken. Then I get an idea. What if I stopped doing my exercises? I could find out what is going on. But there is a reason no one ever comes out of there. 

  I push the idea aside. No it's too dangerous.

   I go to get my oxygen mask." Gran? You home?" I ask, calling out. My blood runs cold when she doesn't answer immediately. What if she was taken too? Then she answers. She says she's in the kitchen. My gran is a tiny woman, but still strong and quick on her feet, despite being my great grandmother.

" Ever! Did you need something, dear?" Seeing her face made me break down. Gran immediately rushed over and brought me over to the couch. She tells me to tell her everything. And I do. Mom's kidnapping, the note, and my questions. She answers all the questions. I feel a little better. But still, I can't help but wonder; would I have a better chance of finding her if I stopped doing the exercises?

XXXXXX.

These letters haunt my dreams. It's been a week since I came home and found the note. All I can think about is the letters. 

   Why would they cross out their name? What do they have to hide? Why can't they just come clean? I lie awake every night and day. 

   There is no sleeping. The day's drag on and on. There is no eating except what Kaye Ann, Chloe, or Rowan force down my throat. All I do is my exercises because I fear for myself if I don't.

   I miss her so much. I miss Saturday morning pancakes. I miss her making something new for dinner every night. I miss her laugh. How hard she tries. She does so much

  I never knew how much I counted on her until she was gone. I need to find the strength in myself to go on to avenge her. I swear I will kill who ever is keeping her away from me. 

  When I manage to sleep all I can think about is them taking her. I can hear her scream. I hear her beg them not to take her. I see her plead that she has a daughter. That I need her. That she will do them if they only let her stay. I see them take her anyway. 

   I dream that she is cooking Mac and cheese for lunch then they come. They take the pot and put everything up. Then they take her. Then I see the leader smile evilly in my direction like he knows I there and write the note. With one chilly last smile he leaves.

   I wake up in a cold sweat. I'm more determined than ever to avenge her now.

   " Guys?" I call.They are sitting in the dining room whispering. They look up and see me on the stairs. 

   " Yes?" Rowan asks. 

   I take a deep breath and sigh. " I'm ready." 

   " Are you sure? You haven't been doing well lately," Kaye Ann asks.

   " Yes she wouldn't want me like this," I say. " I need to live my life."

   Ding. "Do 7 jumping jacks 3 crunches 12 push ups and 35 sit ups," we read simultaneously.You will join your mother, Ever if you don't.
