Beth had stood quietly behind the other girls when they were led to stand around the glass house. It was too early for her usual defiance to kick in. She stood still with sleepy eyes and her gooseflesh arms wrapped around her body. Bouncing softly on her heels, she tried to fight the chill that crept through her body.<br/>She hated to be woken up. It was high on the long list of things Beth had been known to bitch about, yet she hadn't said a word this morning. She was far from resigned to her fate, but she judt didn't have the energy to fight with Mr. Blackstone this morning, besides Mattie had plenty for both of them.<br/><br/>When the curtains were drawn and the scene in the glass house was revealed, Beth took an instictive step backward. "What the..." was all her shivering lips could mutter. Panic rose up in her stomach and took control of her mind. This place....this was bad...that could be her. She had seen that girl..the one being..oh no....it was going to be her.<br/><br/>Beth's mind could hardly put two words together, but it was sending one through loud and clear....RUN.<br/>Though her mind was screaming the word over and over, her legs wouldn't move.<br/>Between the different scenes going on, Beth was more than overwhelmed. She warred with her mind and body for what seemed like eternity. Trying to talk her legs into moving, all the while her eyes filled up with tears. Just as she uneasily went to sit on the cold wet ground, she saw Mattie run by, soon followed by their teacher.<br/><em>Now is your only chance Beth, </em>her mind scolded her,<em>Run!</em><br/>With nervous eyes, she assessed the situation and looked from the retreating form of her teacher to the other 'guards' around the cabin. She tried hard to not look at the sickness inside the glass. She'd never seen it before and she didn't want to see it now.
