Chapter 3: A Day in the Vault

When I got into the chair it got really cold, I could not see anything, except frost on the window. I think I passed out from the cold but I didn't know for sure. After what I think was a while it got clearer in the window that was placed firmly on the pod. Some people, one bald the other with a hazmat suit came down the hall, and opened Mom's pod. They were trying to take Shawn away from her! Mom wouldn't let go of him easily, so the bald guy pointed his gun at her. I screamed hoping someone would open my pod. The pod seemed to be sealed so tightly that nothing could come out. Mom still wouldn't cooperate so the man shot Mom in the head and took my brother! It made me mad to see Mom go and Shawn taken away so easily. I was yelling just hoping that he would take me too so I could escape but he didn't seem to notice. Or he just didn't care. I just wanted to leave this place with Dad, but I got frozen again, but before I got frozen completely, I saw the people leave the Vault, so it must be safe to go outside but I couldn't move. I wonder if I will ever see Shawn again or if he is gone just like Mom? Will Dad and I die too, is everyone going die will we ever get out of here? I just wanted this nightmare of a reality to be over as quickly as it could be, but I knew it wouldn't be that easy, for whoever these people were, all I knew was that they were hiding something, and whatever it is, they don't what me knowing. The minute I am able to get out I plan to find them and make them pay. As the contraption started to freeze my body again all you could hear was my muffled sobs and the sight of tears freezing on my face. The cold was painful and started to give me a headache so I closed my eyes and passed out.
