Madeline looks down at what he said. So it wasn't just Alick? At least she has a cousin. Alick only has mom and that rotten man that is his father. She makes a face that looked like she was about to puke at the thought of the man. She needs to get back to Alick, and she will do anything. But she won't let Miles lose either. That would leave a little girl in even more despair than Alick. She wasn't about to push that on a little girl. "Miles. We will both get back. We can't put them through this. I won't let those children have to deal with this!" She yells, a few tears slipping down her cheeks. I don't care if I have to deal with those
people again, I don't care if I have to break this stupid games rules.
I don't care if I have to lose my mask. I won't let them lose us." She looks up and is crying at this point. Her face has a serious look as she just made the decision to lose her mask. "
We will escape. All of us. That is my decision." She looks straight ahead and smiles. If she does escape, well, she won't be wearing a mask.
