In chapter 13 Sister Tabitha explains that it is a miracle that she was ever born. And then she starts telling her to appreciate her life and that she is being selfish because she only thinks for herself. "I am struck with the knowledge of my own selfishness. That this woman in front of me knows more about my mother than I ever did or ever will" (S) (117). That is when Harry walks in and this will be the last night that they have to call of everything. Travis never came so she has to be with Harry. I don't understand why she finds Harry so repulsive. He bought her a puppy and is trying to make her happy. When she told him what she believed, that she wants to leave because she knows there is more out there, he says "We will find a way to make you happy" (S)(121).
When they wake up the sirens are going off. Mary is kind of on a daze but then she sees Gabrielle in her red vest streak past and she knows that the Unconsecrated are among them. The chapters continue with them trying to escape the Unconsecrated and when they arrive at the Church they see Sister Tabitha being attacked by Gabriella. They cannot believe that. When they run away to the mysterious path, they see Travis coming there way. They all stand, not knowing what to do. The decide to come back to the village in the morning because there are to many of them. Mary still wonders about Travis actually loving her. She still battles with what is right and what she wants. "Every night I drown and every morning I wake up struggling to breathe" (S)(146).
After they decide to stay where they are they see Jed, Mary's brother, and his wife Beth, which is Harry's and Travis's sister. Jed tells them that in this path they have been filling it with food and water for a while because that is what the Sisterhood instructed them to do. Harry gets all weird and gets mad that he was never told because he is a Guardian. But after that Jed secretly tells Mary that Beth has been bitten.
Mary proceeds to tell Jed that it is not safe and he has to kill Beth. But Jed explains that he cannot just shoot someone he loves, and he goes on to say that without love their is no point in living, and that is what Mary believes. So she keeps his secret hoping that she will not turn.
That evening they come across some crate that says XVIII. They do not know what those letters mean. Inside is just more food and water so they rest for the night. During the night Gabrielle and the other Unconsecrated come. They leave immediately and they have all realized that there village is gone, that no one has survived and have stopped fighting. That is hard to comprehend and I do not blame them. Knowing that all your loved ones are lost to the Unconsecrated. They find paths to take and they just have to guess where they should go, but they end up in a dead end.
Mary then starts to lose it. She sees Travis hugging Cass and she gets super jealous so she lashes out on Jed and tells them all about Beth finally. That causes some uproar and Mary runs away. She wanders down the paths and is calling out for Gabrielle. I do not know if that is such a good idea but she does it anyway. Gabrielle comes a little slower this time. Like her body is finally catching up to her. She tells her she's sorry and walks away. Mary then continues to find more roman numeral numbers on the paths. And she knows that they have to have some sort of pattern but she can't figure it out. She finds Cass and Cass tells Mary that they killed Beth and are burying her now. Mary feels the shame and that she never got to say goodbye. She decides not to tell them about the letters because she does not want to get there hopes up. I cannot blame her. I have no idea how they are going to survive.

I wonder what the numbers mean on the traile. Like if there is a pattern or something.
