:Jess's POV:

As soon as Tiff has waken up from her nap (and talked to Joey and Stacy about what had happened ,introducing them to Jack ,and agreeing to when we stopped to rest to always have someone on watch.) we set off. The map showed itself again ,miraculously and it was off again. This time it was Lizzie and Joey on a horse, me and Stacy on one, and Jack and Tiff on the last.

Jack's a pretty cool guy. He's funny and cracked jokes the entire time which made me pretty happy there was another puner on this trip. I'm still a bit mad at the bandits for not letting Tiff go ,and forcing her to fight to the death in a arena. Ok when I phrase it like that it makes me even more mad.

I hope my parents are doing okay. Since I left I'm scared there not doing as well without me there to help them out at the farm. And I hope Shelby, Max, Ross, and Cory are doing all right. They're probably wondering what's happened to me and where I've gone. Well except for Shelby. I hope I get home Okay.

We continued on for a long time taking only a few short times ,and everyone was extremely exhausted. It seemed like even buddy was tired even though he was just in Lizzie's bag the entire time, But he didn't really get to move around much.

"There's a small town up ahead that we can stop at for the night." Stacy says's looking at her map. "Sounds good to me." I say.

So we continue on for a little bit until we come across the town. It's a lot smaller than home, but that's what Stacy said. We get off our horses and take the over to the stables where we left our horses. We all took our things and looked around for an inn to stay in for the night.

Soon enough we find an inn to stay in. We get two rooms, one for Joey and Jack ,and one for the four of us. We left wink and buddy with the horses. The inn didn't allow animals

We walk up the narrow staircase to the upstairs are of the inn. Joey and Jack walk into the room right next to us. "Goodnight guys see you in the morning." Joey says.

We walk into our room. There's two beds and another door to what I assume is the bathroom. I run over to the bed and immediately jump onto to it. "This bed is...so...SOFT!" I say. We all laugh. "Well imma go take a show-" Tiff says ,but gets cut off by Stacy and Lizzie dashing past her to get to the bathroom. Lizzie wins and gets into the shower with victory leaving Stacy and Tiff crying at the door.

We all take showers and change into pajamas. Me and Stacy share a bed while Lizzie and Tiff share one. "It feels good to sleep in a bed again." Tiff says. "Yeah it is." Lizzie says. We all fall asleep pretty easily being tired from being on the road for a few days, and being able to sleep in a actual bed.

:Lizzie's POV:

Jess ,Stacy, and Tiff fell asleep way before I did. Well I I really can't sleep ,but that's not the point. Maybe I have too much on my mind ,it's been a few overwhelming days. Between being chosen as the element of air, and Tiff being kidnapped, it's been a lot. Maybe it's just me. I really should get some sleep though. I don't want to be tired in the morning when I wake up. I close my eyes after what feels like for a long time, and drift into sleep.

:Third person POV:

"You have eyes on them right?"

"Yes, I have they are staying in a small town currently " it says, twirling the crystal ball that portrays the four girls sleeping. "Well then what are you waiting for! Go get them my pet. "Yes my lord right away." It says. It walks out of the ,archway into the corridor, out into the dark night to find its next victims

:Lizzie's POV (wow so many POVS):

I woke up in the middle of the night. Nothing was out of the ordinary so why did I feel like something was wrong. I lay back down on my pillow trying to go back to sleep, but I can't shake off this feeling. I sit back up to see if maybe surveying the room will make me feel better. I look around the dark room. I look over at the window and see a dark shadow there before the window breaks open!

That's when, groggily, the others start to wake up. They're wide awake when they see the shadow in the window. The thing scampers through the broken window, stepping on the pieces of class around the window. All of us take a step back as it takes a step forward. We're all so paralyzed with fear we can't say a word.

My eyes start to adjust to the darkness. The thing is like something you'd see in a nightmare. It has huge feet with big sharp claws instead of toenails. It's oddly skinny and bent over. It's like it can't stand up straight. For hands there are huge sharp claws just like the feet. It's wearing a long tan cloth for clothes and has long hair covering its probably ugly face.

"Tiff do the things with the spikes!" Jess whispers. "I'll try." She puts her hands out to try to use the spikes that she used before ,but nothing happens. "I can't do it I think it was just instinct before!" Tiff says. "Then what're we going to do!" Jess says.

Then I take a step forward. I don't know why I just did. "What're you doing !?" Stacy yells. "I don't know! I yell. Then the thing is running at us full speed. I'm scared, but now is not the time to be scared. I have to be brave.

Then a white light flashes in front of my eyes. And I inhale and exhale. The wind around us moves towards me and goes into my mouth. As I do this, the thing starts to choke. Like by me exhaling and inhaling I took the air straight from the things mouth. I stop and it drops to the ground. "Woah..." Jess says. "C'mon we have to go before more show up. I'll go jet jack and Joey ,you guys pack up the things" Stacy says. She walks out the door while me, Jess, and Tiff quickly pack up our things.

We meet up with Stacy, Jack, and ,Joey outside. We're all still in our pajamas as we sprint over to the horses. I pick up buddy and put him in my bag. Stacy wakes up wink ,and we all jump on our horses.

We ride in the dark night sky, our horses at a full gallop. Wink runs after us as we ride away from whatever that was.
