"So what do you do for living?" Faye asked Robert.
"I'm actually a geology major." He answered.
As Robert and Faye had a conversation, Adam and Jake spoke in a low voice in the kitchen. "You should go and get some firewood. I'll stay back and protect the girls." Adam suggested. Even though it was summer, it still got chilly at night.
"No, I'm not doing that. You know your way around here. I'll stay back and protect them." Jake protested.
"Whatever. Just don't let him do anything to them." Adam got his jacket. "I'm gonna go get some firewood. I'll be back soon." He yelled out and shut the front door.
Faye was talking to Robert, Diana and Melissa were playing a board game, but Cassie was no where in sight. This made Jake a little worried. "Where'd Cassie go?"
"I don't know," Melissa said. "Check the bedrooms or outside."
Jake checked the bedrooms and bathroom, but she wasn't there. Suddenly, Cassie's scream was heard from outside. Jake frantically ran outside, thinking the worst. The rest followed behind him; even the new guy.
When Cassie came into Jakes view, she wasn't hurt nor kidnapped by the witch hunters. She was laughing...with Adam.
"Sorry for screaming, guys. He scared the hell out of me," she laughed along with Adam, grabbing his shoulder to hold herself up.
"Why were you out here, then?" Jake asked, confused.
"I was going to help him with the wood. But when I went looking for him, he came out of nowhere."

Each bedroom had two beds, but one was smaller than the other. All of the girls slept in the bigger room, Adam and Jake slept in the smaller room, and Robert slept on the couch.
As morning crept in, Robert stayed for breakfast, which consisted of pancakes and sausage. "Thank you, guys. I really appreciate everything you've done for me." he stepped outside. The circle surrounded the door.
"No problem and just remember, down the main road, turn left, then right. Be careful." Jake closed the door behind Robert.
