(Chapter 11!! Yay i'm so proud! Thank you so much for the support. I really have nothing to bore you with my normal life, except I'm almost invisible. Hehe anyways so we'll get right into story!)

The air was heavy as the sun sunk to horizon. They'd been climbing for an hour.

"There it is." Haley pointed. There was a dark hole right ahead of them. Haley ran forward, tripping on a rock as she ran.

When the others met her there they saw he kneeled on the floor.

"My little girl." she gently stroked the coloring book that lay open on the stone floor. Melanie held Jared's hand securely in her own, biting her lip.

"She wrote me a note." Haley smiled, shaking her head.

Kira.

"Why did she call you Winnie?" Jamie was at Haley's side.

"Because, I love to eat honey, she always said it was like Winnie the Pooh, so she called me Winnie." Haley explained, distracted.

"What does it say?" Melanie asked. Haley smiled.

"Winnie, I love you. I don't know where you are but I hope you find this and know I listened. I want to find you but I'm scared. I don't want you to be like mommy and daddy. If you find this find me back home. I'm running as fast as I can away from here. Please find me. Love, Kira." Haley's voice broke.

"My little girl is trying to get back to Angel Fire." Haley shook her head.

"She believed if she put her mind to something, she could do it. No one had to tell her, she was just stubborn enough to know."

"What next?" Ian asked.

"Do you know where she's gone?" Jared asked. "Which way she might have taken?"

"There was a rule I taught her, always go right. If you were unsure, go right." Haley smiled. It was about the happiest Jamie had seen Haley, she was almost floating.

"Haley, we aren't sure if she's alive."

"I know, but there is hope." She said in a hushed tone. She gently put the coloring book in her bag. Her hand caressed the top of the bag as if it were made of fragile glass. Jamie tucked his arm around her shoulders as she glanced longingly at the bag. Her smile was sad.

"It'll work out Haley." Jamie's voice was soft. Haley smiled up at him. She gently rested her head against his shoulder as she stared out at the desert night. She let out a sigh and closed her tired eyes.

Melanie cleared her throat. Haley quickly moved herself so she was crouched over her bag. She rose to her feet, slinging the bag over her shoulder. Suddenly she froze.

"Do...you hear that?" she asked. Everyone was frozen. The small pebble could be heard as it bounced across the rocks outside the cave.

"Damn it, Greg." someone scolded.

"Shh." A girls voice responded.

"They came up here, I know it." the first voice said, a strong southern accent could be heard as he spoke.

There was no where to hide. Melanie glanced at Jared, and pulled Jamie toward her protectively. Jamie glanced at Haley, crouched over her bag, in the middle of Melanie and Ian. Ian grabbed Wanda's hand, his eyes narrowed as the voices echoed closer to the front of the cave.

"Who's there?" the girl called out. She appeared first, dirty blonde hair pulled into a pony tale. She wore ripped jeans and a loose t-shirt. Her hand rested on a gun at her waist. The two men were right behind her. Both were tall, brawny, one had dirty blonde hair like the girl, the other had dark brown hair. They were also dressed in t-shirts and dirty jeans.

"Look, they're all human." the one with dirty blonde hair called over.

"Shut up, Greg." The girl snapped. Greg looked at her with narrowed eyes.

"Lacey." His tone was a warning.

"Look there, yonder." the last man pointed at Wanda.

"So they are keepin' one." Lacey stared at Wanda.

"She's no harm." Ian warned.

"To hell she 'aint!" Greg shot. "My own wife was killed by her kind." Wanda looked at the dusty ground as the accusations flew at her.

"Our little sister." Lacey added. Her eyes narrowed.

"Look, Wanda isn't like that." Jared defended.

"She's in a human body." Greg growled.

"That was already empty." Ian finished.

"What should we do?" The brown haired one asked. He was the youngest, barely sixteen.

"We take 'em back. They know we're out here now." Lacey shrugged.

"You're a little outnumbered." Jared said.

"Not really." Lacey smiled. "There's more of us at the bottom of the hill."

"How many of you are there?" Melanie asked.

"Altogether about twenty." the quiet brunette finally spoke up.

"Caleb." Lacey's voice was complaining.

Haley's face snapped up.

"Caleb...?" she asked.

"Oh my Go...Haley...?" Caleb snapped.

"Is... is Josh with you?" Haley asked. Jamie's forehead creased the slightest bit with the familiarity between them.

"Yeah." Caleb said.

"Caleb... you know her?" Greg this time

"Josh and Haley go way back." Caleb explained.

Haley blushed, her eyes watching her feet.

"That was a long time ago." She defended. "Caleb, have you seen Kira?" She blurted.

"No, I'm sorry Hay, I haven't." Caleb sighed. He looked up at Greg and Lacey

"Let them come back with us, as guests." Caleb said.

"Are you crazy, they have one of them!" Lacey spat. Wanda grimaced.

"Lacey." Caleb soothed. "At least for the night."

"Fine." Lacey glared. "But Jim and the rest of 'em aint gonna be happy bout it."

"I promise you, nothing will happen to any of you."

"Haley, you know him. We trust you." Jared sighed. Everyone trusted Jared to keep the rest safe.

Haley glanced at Caleb. Her eyes hard. After moments ticked away in silence she nodded.

"I've trusted Caleb with my life."

"I can't believe we're letting the life sucking son of a bi..." Lacey elbowed Greg hard in the stomach.

"Shut UP Greg." She groweled.

They climbed down the side of the mountain, and sure enough a fair sized group of humans stood there, surrounding them. There was shouting and swearing.

"What the hell!"

"There's a soul!"

"I knew I saw someone climbing up there."

"Well, it seems we have visitors tonight. The rest of you shut up!"

Jamie saw Haley's eyes widen.

"Josh."

(Umm i probably have like way too many new characters but don't worry, they won't be in the story too long. I'm also really sorry this chapter took such a long time! I didn't mean it! Please forgive me! I will write as much as I can but the next few chapters will be a little slower. Then they will probably be on time again! Have a great week.
