A/N I don't own PJATO…blah, blah, blah…..

Book of the update: Seekers series by Erin Hunter

Chapter 4

"Thank you so much, Tristan. Is there any way that I could pay you back? Without money, cause I'm broke." I say as we part at the gas station to some town in Arizona (A/N I think that's where the junkyard was…I'm too lazy to go get my book, all the way in the other room and look it up.)Tristan looks sad for a moment, and then covers it up. "You could go on a date with me."

He smiles. I don't. "Um…no. any other way?"

His face falls. "oh, no. it's fine. See you around, Bianca." I wave as he drives off, feeling kind of sad.

I am perfectly fine, walking along, until the earth starts moving underneath me. I catch myself before I fall over, and cling to the streetlight nearest me.

This wasn't an earthquake or anything, I'd been through those; the earth was literally grabbing my ankles and pulling me down. I climb the streetlight pole and hang there, watching the earth creep up towards my feet.

I reach back for my Hunter's bow, which always appears when I needed it, but it isn't there. Not thinking too much of it, I take out my hunting knife and hack away at the dirt and grass. I probably look dumb, hanging halfway up a streetlight, attacking dirt. this is an all-time low for me.

A/N sorry for the short chapter.
