Why did I trust him? The day I met Adrian I promised myself I would never completely trust him. I knew nothing good ever happens when you trust someone.

The universe gave me the warning that I ignored. I trusted Cara, she died. I should have never trusted anyone again. But, I did. I trusted Adrian and it wasn't even really him. Now look at where I am. In a jail cell. At the place where the aliens control every single person.

How do I know that anyone else really remembers life before the aliens? How do I know my whole life hasn't been a lie? What if the aliens are controlling me too? When did my life turn into a science fiction book?

What if everyone else really is being controlled? What if I really am alone by being free? What if every soldier who died in the war against the aliens are really forgotten? What if every historical person is forgotten too? George Washington, Muhammad Ali, Edgar Allen Poe, all forgotten.

My rage is consuming all fear, except for one. Paige. What if she is being controlled too? I don't care, I will still save her. I will find a way to make her free. I will find a way to make everyone free. The second war is beginning, and the aliens won't be able to stop us this time. I realize this means I may die. I will find a way to make sure Paige is safe, then I will die fighting for my home. They messed with the wrong planet, and they will all pay the ultimate price.
