Reg. POV

Once they were deep into the forest, Brianna stopped. Jack once again fell off her back, and his body seriously wanted nothing but to puke his lungs out. It's not like he had much in his stomach to come up anyway.

Luckily he didn't, but instead just lay on the floor, holding his head. Brianna winced from the stabbing pain in her stomach for burning so many calories, but she ignored it.

"Jack, get up!" She whined. Did she have any idea what this felt like?

"We have to go!"

"Then why did you stop in the first place?" Jack grumbled.

"To let you rest. And now you're rested."

"You know, at this rate June will sense our presence or they'll hear us coming." He said.

"But… we can just go for a bit more, right? And then at night when they're asleep, we'll catch up just to know where they are, then make camp around a mile away." Brianna said

"…Can't we just walk? We have to have covered at least half the distance they have." He asked.

"…Fine. You're so boring!"

The only reason she had agreed was another pang in her gut.

After walking about a mile, Jack told Brianna to have a small snack that she had packed (she stopped at home before going into the forest) while he walked ahead a little to see if they were close.

As Brianna was finishing a small portion of cold fish from Quinn, Jack was running towards her and tackled her. They tumbled back into the bushes.

"J-Jack!" She exclaimed, her face turning a pale pink.

"Shh!"

Through the bushes' leaves, Brianna could spot Kaya walking around their area.

"Hm… I could have sworn I heard a sort of rustling sound or something… Maybe June's right. Maybe I am going crazy. It is the FAYZ, right?" She said to herself.

Then she suddenly inhaled sharply, and she held her head. It looked like her eyes were vacant, although the two couldn't tell from the distance.

Then she snapped back to reality, almost literally, her neck tilting backwards slightly.

"Oh no…. I have to tell June!" Kaya said, and she rushed off in the opposite direction.

Each of them relaxed instantly and let out a breath of relief.

"Jack…" Brianna sang. He turned his head towards her and blinked, only to notice him pinning her down, and under his strength there was no way she could get up. He blushed and scrambled up.

"Oh… sorry." He muttered. She just laughed.

"So what was that with Kaya? Why did she just like, have a spasm?"

"A spasm? I think that's a bit overreacting, Brianna."

"Still."

"I really don't know. Sam said her power was teleporting more than one person, right? But her hands… they were turned upward. As if she was using them. So she must have been lying about her power."

"Huh. I guess so. But June probably knew that. So why did they lie to Sam? Are they double crossing us, do you think? Kaya did come from Coates, but they're not going in that direction."

"Yeah… I don't really know. I guess we'll just go ahead and see where they are going." Jack answered.

"Yep. Well, it's evening already; we'll just go and see if they're moving on. If so, we obviously follow, if not, we'll make camp here. Oh, and I might have forgotten to mention something."

"What would that be?"

"…I only own one sleeping bag."

Kaya's POV

I rushed back over to June, trying to avoid tripping over logs and tree roots and whatnot. Once I was there, I took a second to catch my breath.

"Oh hey Kaya. Long time no see."

"I...had.. A.. vision..." I said in between pants. Unfortunately, it sounded like I was slurring drunken words.

She looked at me like I had just threatened to stab her with a spoon.

"I had a vision." I said once I had caught my breath. Her eyes glinted and I could feel her in my head.

"You had it again? What does that mean?"

"Well, to be honest, this has never happened to me before. The same vision so many times. It could mean the chances of it not happening are becoming slimmer, or worse, that it's set in stone. But I refuse to admit that, because we'll get there.

"Having it twice in the same day probably means it will happen around tomorrow night, maybe? So I say we keep moving until late at night, rest a little, and then keep moving so we get there in time." I finished.

June raised an eyebrow. "Determined, are we?"

"I think you can figure that one out." I said.

Yeah, I was determined. I was kind of like a shark. Keep moving forward, don't look back. I had to just keep going, going, going. I would get to Drake in time.

-Break-

It was nighttime, and we were beyond tired. No matter how many short naps we took turns having, it wasn't enough.

But I was going to deal with it. I also had to deal with a cranky June. She snapped at everything I said, and complained when she stumbled over various things lying on the forest floor.

Not to mention the red marks I had on my arms and legs from waking her up from her naps.

"Stop thinking so loudly…" June whined.

"I'm not! I'm thinking normally! Just don't read my mind if it annoys you so much!"

"But it's the only thing keeping me awake..."

"You're impossible."

"Shut up." She barked.

"So how close are we?"

"Close enough."

"Really, June?" She heaved a dramatic sigh, as if answering my question took as much effort as picking up an elephant.

"We'll probably make it there in time if we sleep."

"….Fine."

As soon as the words left my mouth, she was setting up our tent, and once that was done, opened her sleeping bag, crawled inside, and fell asleep right as the zipper closed.

Funny how she was only following my cues. I knew she was an independent person, but she knew how much this meant to me, so she let me map out our movements. I respected that.

I sighed and shook my head, taking my place in my sleeping bag next to her.

Reg. POV

Only once Kaya and June had for sure fallen asleep, did Brianna and Jack set up their tent.

"You can sleep in it. I'll just, stay awake or something." Jack mumbled.

"No way! That's so unfair! Can you just suck it up and come in here?" Brianna said in a hushed tone from her spot in the sleeping bag.

"Look, no. That'd be so…. Never mind."

"Oh… well if I'm not a person you'd prefer sleeping next to…"

"What? No! That's not what I- God Brianna! How do you twist everything up like that?"

"You know, there's a bit of a draft. I'm so cold." She said dramatically.

"…There's not even any wind." Brianna narrowed her eyes, and then changed her expression to a pout.

"Please Jack? I'm really tired and I know you are too, and we have to wake up at the same time they do, so just c'mon. You want to go to sleep as much as I do. Which is a lot. Plus, it's only for a few times."

Jack seemed to be waning in his argument. She was right, and he was tired, and he did feel bad, and…

Oh, what the hell.

"Fine." He sighed. She smiled and scooted over a bit. Once the tent was zipped, he walked over to the sleeping bag, took off his glasses, and crawled inside.

He noticed the increase in warmth immediately. It was so comfortable that he relaxed. A little. But he couldn't stop the ever increasing blush on his face.

Just as he was falling asleep, he felt someone leaning into him.

A fifth grade tech savvy should not have to deal with these things.

Kaya's POV

I woke up at dawn, just like I always did, and shook June awake, who groaned and mumbled something incomprehensible. I was already rolling up my sleeping bag and hurling the backpack over my shoulder.

"June, get up."

"Go to hell."

I sighed and unzipped her sleeping bag, grabbing her wrists and tugging. The jerky movement forced her eyes open and she glared.

"Fine!"

Once we were all ready to go, we did. We traveled all day, resting only a few times and only ate about ten saltine crackers each.

June said we were getting closer. I was extremely afraid that I would have the vision again. If I did, then it could happen in a matter of moments or minutes.

"What do you think Drake will do if we do save his life?" June asked suddenly.

"…I don't know. Whatever he wants to. He can go live alone or maybe create some sort of alliance or maybe gather his soldiers or something."

"So you're assuming he won't want to come back?"

"I guess I am." I said.

"Well, all we can do is wait and see, rather than make assumptions, right?" She asked.

"Sure." I said with a smile.

"I think we should get there in about an hour without resting." June said.

"But the sun's already setting. I hope we make it. How do you know the way to this place so well anyway?"

"The detail is hard to forget. I've been here twice. Luckily, I never actually went into the mine. But a few kids did, and they can't erase what they saw. I know because I read their minds."

We didn't talk much after that.

Reg. POV

Jack and Brianna traveled at a healthy distance away from June and Kaya. Their morning having been a bit awkward, they traveled in silence, neither complaining, and neither maintaining an optimistic atmosphere.

It was getting dark, and flashlights would give away their position, so the only light was the thin white crescent hanging in the night sky.

Exhaustion was creeping up on them, and they mindlessly pushed forward, their instinct the only thing keeping them quiet.

They weren't being particularly good spies. They hadn't heard any conversations between the two subjects, and all of the data they had gathered so far was incomplete, and there was nothing to prove it.

They just hoped the outcome would piece everything together.

Soon they noticed that they had arrived at an old fashioned western town that looked run down and abandoned.

Having no bushes or trees to hide behind anymore, Jack and Brianna crept along behind buildings and whatever they could find. When they saw Kaya and June stop at the mouth of a mine, they hid behind a small shack a short distance away.

Drake, Caine, and Diana were standing at the mine, and suddenly Drake lashed out and whipped Diana straight across the head. She went flying backwards, her skull landing directly onto a boulder nearby.

"Diana!" Caine wailed.

Jack and Brianna exchanged glances, then intertwined their fingers, and watched the scene unfold before their eyes.
