"I have to say, this tarp system only really proves I'm the real genius in the family."

Tarps where set up in the important areas of camp for the spring rain. It's nothing too impressive but it keeps the supplies dry. It wasn't quite designed for people though, the shack was made more for that.

"Careful mom, your starting to sound like uncle Will." His snicker could almost be heard. He's defiantly gotten a bit bolder. Though it's good he keeps home in mind.

"Perish the thought," she said with a laugh. "Though, if asked I am the smarter sibling. It's a proven fact."

She careful pulls the blanket over the sleeping Webber. He was curled up in the corner with one of his spiders. It wasn't harming anything. It was best to wait out the rain like this.

I can't believe it's been two years. Two years and still no new clues.

"I wonder what uncle Will is doing right now?" he asked. That was a question she thinks about often.

I'll have to make a whole lot of pancakes to apologize for being gone so long.

She shrugs. "Well Vincent, knowing your uncle he's probably working on something. Who knows, he might even have figured out where we are. Though most likely something has exploded by now."

Wilson sneezes abruptly on the trail.

His current traveling companion laughs. "Spring allergies Wilson, or is someone talking about you?"

"Ha ha very funny Willow," he said with a sniffle. "At least there is some science to allergies then that superstition."

She just shrugs. "Whatever you say, Wilson. Now come on, we're supposed to be checking out the new area."

Funny, Why did I think about Roni then?

"Hey Wilson, take a look at this."

"What is it Willow," he asked after catching up with her. She was holding a rock she found. Normally that wouldn't peak anyone's interest, but this one had some writing on it. It said camp left.

"Do you think theirs someone in this new area?" she asked. If they could find a new survivor all the more reason to look. If she hadn't found Wilson when she did who knows where she'd be right now.

"It's possible, we didn't think of actually using the wormholes until now. Still..." He was still looking at the stone.

Willow peaks over the shoulder. "Do you know what that is Wilson?" she asked.

He sighed and put the rock in his backpack. "It's called a landmark stone. It's one of the first things I made when I was a kid. Only my sister really used it though but..."

This is Roni's handwriting. Could she have been here this whole time?

Now Willow was really confused. "Wait, you have a sister?" she asked. She could only imagine what it was like to have family trapped here in this world.

He sighed. "She disappeared two years ago. I honestly thought she was dead but this world seems to have proven me otherwise."

She just smiled and put her hand on his shoulder. "If she's here we're going to find her." It just adds more reason for her plan to put Maxwell in a bonfire for putting them all here.

He just smiled at her gesture. "Well, if she is here she'll turn up, she always does." Looks like it was about to rain again too.

This is going to be my first spring. Really don't want things to be like winter. Though if Ronni is here, then...I just don't know. I shouldn't be so nervous about this.

"Hey Wilson look!" yelled Willow. She got a bit ahead of him as he was lost in his thoughts. She seems to be pointing at the current brush fire with her usual excitement.

At least she's enjoying herself. Wait, is that a giant egg there too?!

"Wait, Willow! Let me examine the egg first before you make more fire!"

"I have to admit, this is indeed a faster way to travel."

It was Webber's idea to use his spider queen Nibby to go places. I was best to get to their next destination before it rains again.

"You think we're gonna get the egg this time, Miss Veronica?" asked Webber. They had caught sight of the moosegoose earlier and it was in everyone's best interest to find an egg to take care of it. Lest the babies are let loose.

The pendant glowed. "Yeah, we're gonna blow it up!" The boy sounded a little too excited about the upcoming explosion.

Your uncle would be so proud Vin.

"Well, that's either the usual lightning or we finally found the egg. I do believe our chances are good." Webber nodded at that and directed the queen towards the strike.

So much stuff we can get if this works. I could feed Webber something other than monster meat.

"Wilson!"

That imminently snapped her out of her thoughts of food. That wasn't what she expected to hear in this world. Any feeling she had before was replaced with a sense of worry.

"Mom, did you hear that?" asked Vincent. "Why would he be here?!"

That's a good question, Vin. One I intend to get out of Maxwell personally.

The scene finally came into view. The egg was cracked and looking like it was about to hatch. What she was really seeing what was down on the ground. Wilson was knocked out, most likely from that lightning strike, and was being dragged away from the egg by the woman that was with him.

"Webber, stop the spider and get into position!" she yelled. The spider boy nodded and directed the queen into the safe position.

The girl holding Wilson was a little startled when she saw the queen. She was trying to use a lighter as a defense while trying to protect Wilson. She was really confused when she saw Veronica jump off it.

"I'll set up a barrier just in case."

"I'll be quick Vin." The rain already started again. It was time to move.

She looked at the girl who was holding Wilson. "Keep hold of him, this is going to be big!" she yelled. At least the girl knows who's the threat here as she began to drag Wilson away from the egg.

She sets the gunpowder around and goes the right distance. One good hit on the egg would be all it takes to trigger another strike and light everything up.

Vincent is using his own power right now but I can still have a trick up my sleeve.

The pendant glowed as she made her own weapon of choice. The bow would only last for one shot but that's all it will take. It's a better option than hitting it with a hammer.

Sure I'll be a little drained after this but with Will right there, it's better not to take chances.

"Light this you Moose egg!"

She watched as the newly hatched mooselings burned, leaving behind all their resources. Webber came in as soon as it looked safe and began to gather things.

She turned to the girl who was holding Wilson. She looked a little bit on the weary side. "Who are you?" asked the girl.

She smiled, despite being all wet at this point. "My name is Veronica Higgsbury. Thanks for protecting my brother there." She extended her hand to help her out.

"My name is Willow," she said grabbing the hand. "I guess someone really was living here then."

"I'm Webber!" Webber was peaking out from behind her when he saw that Willow was ok to talk to.

Veronica just laughed a bit at Webber's usual antics. "Webber is harmless. Though I think this might be better back at camp. We can treat Will there."

Webber saluted. "I can take us back to camp right away then Miss Veronica."

"Wait, don't you know where your camp is?" asked Willow.

She sighed. "It's a long explanation. For now, help me get Will on the spider queen."

Now there is a sentence Willows probably never heard before. Now to get my nerves ready for when Will wakes up.
