Hey guys, thank you so much for the reviews, they really help me improve and it's great to know what you think.

Okalanae POV

My heart thrummed at abnormal speeds in my chest. My breathing was shallow and ragged. Terror gripped at every inch of me.

She was following me. I could hear her steady footsteps from far behind, but this was my home ground. I knew every inch of these woods, having lived in them for the past 8 years. She'll never find me, I assured myself. But that didn't prevent the panic constantly throwing me off course.

After what felt like hours of running- though was probably minutes- I found what I was searching for: a small waterfall concealing an almost invisible hidden cave behind it. They would never find me here.

Sky POV

After I had ran after the girl, I heard the others chasing after her as well. Coincidentally, the other two cars had pulled up at that exact moment to help.

I couldn't explain my irrational need to chase after her. It was like some gut instinct egging me on of its own accord.

With the assistance of the entire Benedict clan, we managed to track her down to a clearing containing a lake and small waterfall.

"Where could she be hiding?" Enquirers Trace, peering around as though he expected her to jump out at him.

"Let's split up, we'll cover more ground that way," Victor commanded in his no-nonsense voice.

Thankfully, no one questioned my desire to find her. They seemed all seemed to share the same instinct that drove me to do so, meaning no questions were asked. Suddenly, I heard Atoosa yell:

"Hey! I think I found her!"

Okalanae POV

I stood, shivering in fear, in a damp corner of the claustrophobic cave. They had somehow managed to locate the clearing, which I had deemed impossible for anyone besides me. How they had done it, I didn't know.

"Hey! I think I found her!" Yelled a girl's voice triumphantly. Oh no. That was not part of the plan. The forest was supposed to be safe! That was the reason I came here- to stay hidden from other people! Especially large groups, like they appeared to be!

A dark shadow strode towards the edge of the waterfall. Closer. And closer. They were about to come in-

A violent shockwave ran through the ground, causing the person to stumble and fall. Sighing in relief, I took this as my only opportunity to escape, I ran. The tremor had lasted barely seconds, yet it managed to give me enough time to escape the clearing and sprint into the sanctuary of the trees. As I ran past, I noted that all 16 of them (I counted) had been knocked over, yet none had suffered serious injurys. For some reason, this pleased me. I didn't want anyone else hurt because of me.

Victor POV

"Everyone okay?" I called, hurrying towards Atoosa, who had been standing by the entrance to the hidden cave before the abrupt earthquake.

"Fine, I think," Atoosa replied as she accepted my hand extended towards her.

I heard a few other grumbles as the others began to pick themselves up. Sky remained sat on a rock, looking thoroughly disappointed. Zed walked over to try and comfort her. Dad wandered towards me, accompanied by Trace, and we began to discuss what he'd just happened. Noticing what was happening, Uriel and Will trotted over to try and shed light upon the situation.

"-and Sky noticed her laying by the duke of the road, fast asleep. We pulled over to check she was okay, but she woke up and ran away, so we all followed, and, well, you know the rest." Uriel was filling us in on what had happened when a piece fell into place.

"Guys, that earthquake was no coincidence. I think that girl's as Savant."

Llamacorn:

It's so great to hear your feedback! Your always the first one to review, and that's amazing. No worries, I would never consider splitting Zed and Sky up. They're too perfect together! :-)

Prettyweirdgirl:

It's so amazing to know you're enjoying this, I put a lot of effort into this. I try to update as soon as I can while still producing decent sized chapters, so you'll just have to wait to see what happens

next!;-)
