All of a sudden, it felt i like was being pulled out by an unseen force into light, and that's when I opened my eyes.* White Walls *That was the felt thing I took note of. " Where am I? " I thought to myself as I became conscious of my surrounding. Just then... I noticed that my nose was obstructed... " What's that? " I strained my eyes and realized that I had an oxygen mask connected to my olfactory organ." Wow. How long was I out? Where are the others? " " What happened? Are we free already? " I questioned.

>* It's going to be okay. *****---- Mia ----After the nurse left.I lied back there in silence as I thought deeply on her words... Only two others survived? What about the others? Does that mean out of over a hundred girls... Only three was able to escape? Not unscathed though... And definitely not in the most easy way ever. Why? Why does this have to happen? The girl's surely don't deserve that death penalty... We all deserve to live... Study hard, go to college, graduate... Start working, get married have children. We all deserve to be happy." But what if God took them all away so they could get the happiness they deserve? What if their time is up already and they just needed to be taken home? " This thought dropped in my mind. Indeed...

>* Half bread is better than none. *****----- Angelina ----The next time I woke up after that blast, I was told that a whole week had passed and I was left perplexed by what exactly happened. I got some informations that it was some fleeing terrorists that caused it. It was actually a big clash between the land forces and the terrorists. Sometimes I wonder if it was just a coincidence or if it was planned. As I still found it a bit difficult to comprehend why it had to happen then. Did it all happen just to make sure only three of us survived that blast? I wondered. There are a lot of questions in my mind that I desperately need an answer to... Yet I have got one. It sucks to even imagine that out of over hundred of school girl's that were kidnapped... Only three escaped... Not totally unscathed though. I will never forget all the experiences we had, especially in the thick forest... I would not be able to forget the longing... For freedom. We all had dreams of the

"" That's what becomes of babies who were formed out of wedlock. " " Oh wow... A result of Highschool relationships? "
