AN: Hi again! Sorry, I feel like I haven't updated in a long time, when in reality it hasn't been long. So, I'm really sorry that this chapter is kinda short. (Sorry!) But I promise to update soon, with maybe a longer chapter. This is dedicated to all my reviewers for chapter two, so that is for Okami-G, Curlylocks4232, Lexifiedxo and independantwriter-137!

Important: I don't exactly know where this is set yet, somewhere between the second and third book. So the erasers aren't all dead.

Recap:

"Um, hello? What are you doing?"

A voice called from around me. My head shot up. "Who's there?" I said briefly, looking around at my surroundings. A girl about my age or a year older stepped out of the underbrush. She had blonde hair and piercing blue eyes. "I was here first." She muttered. I put my head in my hands. "Not this again." I groaned softly.


Liselle POV

The girl's head tilted to the side ever so slightly as I raised mine. "What was that?" She asked me quietly, almost dangerous, like daring me to tell her what I said. Wearily, I stood up and held my hands in the universal sign of surrender. "I'll leave." I informed her, my eyes looking at the ground. "I just need somewhere to sleep." I whispered, so soft that I barely heard myself as I trudged off into the forest once again. If this happens one more time, I swear I'm going to-

"Hey, wait!" The girl called, running after me. I wasn't that far into the forest, and she was able to catch up to me quickly. "Sorry about that. I'm just ... worried, I guess." I gave her a half smile. She jerked her thumb back towards the clearing. "Wanna stay with me for the night? It'll be easier with two of us, and I'll take the first watch.

I had to admit, this sounded pretty good. But, since she has first watch, she could kill you or something. A small, dark piece of my mind argued. I was too tired to argue back, and I just needed sleep. I walked back with the girl, where we found a soft spot, which was a mixture of moss and grass. Definitely better then the dog crates at the school.

She sat on a tree stump as I laid down. "The name's Tegan, by the way." She informed me. "Liselle." I murmured wearily, my eyes struggling to stay open. Finally, they gave up the fight and I sighed inaudibly in content.

Tegan POV

I looked at Liselle in amusement. Her body was still tense, like she expected me to attack her or something. She shouldn't be worried. I thought, taking out a pocket-knife in my pocket...

Haha, no. I'm not going to attack her. Don't assume things.

I grabbed a bit of wood at my left, and began an attempt at whittling. It didn't turn out as good as I wanted it to be. I mean, I'm a bit of a perfectionist. I could of done better. I thought as I looked at the crude bat I had tried to whittle. I had thought it would be easy to whittle an animal that I was part mutation with. I mean, how hard could it be?

A wolf howled in the distance, and my body tensed up. I hadn't seen an eraser since I was at the school. Thank goodness. They were horrible. However, I found it strange that they didn't really target me that often. Mostly, or so I've heard, they targeted kids that could fly. Interesting.

Caydence POV

"Come here, Pup." I whispered softly to the boy next to me, who was holding my hand. He took one last look at the three teenagers that were surrounding us and we turned towards the forest. "Come back here!" I heard someone shout, but I was never one to obey orders. We trailed through the forest until Pup looked up at me and pointed. There was a very pretty waterfall near a stream.

"Nice job!" I congratulated him as we moved towards the lake and sat down. "Want me to try and get the collar off of you again?" I motioned towards the heavy metal thing around his neck. I had managed last time to somehow get the tracker-thing out, but I couldn't get it off. He nodded, and looked away from me.

Pup didn't talk much. I don't know why. It was fun to talk. You could say a whole bunch of things that people didn't know unless you talked. Maybe it was because of his past. I guess he had a tough past too. Thank goodness I met him at the School. I can talk for him, and no one understands him like I do. He's got me to look out for him.

Tier POV

"Why you let her get away?" I turned towards Max, who was staring in the path where the girl had left. At the same time, the two kids, left us too. "Come back here!" I shouted, but they ignored me.

Now, I was pretty mad. Ice noticed that too. I hoped she wouldn't try and calm me down, I didn't want to get angry at her.

So it's kinda the same length of the other one. But I promise to update soon! Thanks for reading!
