Mercury ran with the Crowd and once they reached the door the masked man Unlocked it with a key and stood there. A stench reached her nose and it sent her stomach jolting. Her eyes began to water, but she wouldn't cry. Mercy thought about how she hasn't cried since the day her sister was killed. At that thought a few tears spilled down her face.<span style="font-style: italic">My sister is probably in here somewhere. No Burial! Just tossed out. Left here to rot.</span>While stuck in those thoughts Mercy ran out into the sunlight. She didn't stop to think and she just ran behind the people in front of her. Her vision blurred by the tears she fought against.<br/><br/>They made it to the fence and the masked wonder spoke, "Here we are, I don't know what to do about the gate..... I don't have enough power to bring it down and it is too high to climb.... any of you got something up their sleeves?" He seemed to be really upset with himself for not having  thought about this previously. Jo, or Mercy seemed to think that was her name -she said it previously but it was too difficult to hear at that moment- came up with a good idea. "We dig under! I'm sure the fence doesn't go that deep and..." Mercy's thoughts drew her away from what was happening, besides what was left to hear was just pointless babble.<span style="font-style: italic">Vampire.</span>it ran through her mind in one quick whisper.<span style="font-style: italic">Shouldn't I be dying right now?! the sun is coming up. Maybe all those vampire stories were wrong. Maybe I was just-</span>"Ok that should be big enough. Hurry and crawl through, I'll watch" Mercy looked at James as he spoke. Then after the masked man and the lady she thought to be called Jo, Mercy got down and crawled through the opening. Wiggling her way to freedom.<br/><br/>Once Mercy was standing on the other side she dusted herself off. She then looked up to the vast forest. "Well now what? I can't help much more from here, I don't know the boundaries very well, only seen a few maps and the forest just goes on and on and then the beach of course leads into the ocean. So.... I don't know where the real world is from here." The masked man seemed to be feeling more and more helpless. Mercy tasted something in her mouth. she closely related it to a stale potato chip. She didn't know why she had this taste in her mouth but she stood there and realized that they carried on the conversation without her. James was speaking and she focused in trying to gather what he was talking about<br/><br/>"Well the easiest way to get a large shipment of supplies is by boat. So where there's a beach, there has to be a dock, and where there's a dock there should be some type of boat or ship we can sneak on or take over. Worst case scenario, we have to build a series of rafts or something." He stopped there and began pacing. She watched him for what seemed like only a second before he spoke again, "The hardest part right now would be getting to the beach. But like Jo said, if we stick together we'll be fine. We're already lost so I doubt that could get any worse. So anyone have an idea as to a general direction we can start running off to?"<br/><br/>A light bulb went off in Mercy's head. "Well I might have an idea if someone could tell me which general direction the storage room was. What I mean is that it would make sense to put the storage room closest to where the supplies would be coming from so that there wouldn't be too mush hassle with going around." Mercy stopped abruptly and began doubting her thoughts.<span style="font-style: italic">Maybe I should have stayed quiet and in the background.</span>She looked at them expecting someone to tell her she was being stupid.
