1 Part 2
Amber and Trudy set off into the forest on their way back to the city. They hadn't been walking long when they heard the hooting of an owl. Trudy didn't know what it was, but Amber did. "Trudy it's a warning, the eco's have seen something, it's their warning sign, we have to hide, quickly." Amber whispered. Trudy was baffled but she followed Amber behind a bush and hoped that neither of the children would make a sound. After five minutes nothing had happened and their legs began to ache from crouching. Amber knew it would be safer for her and Trudy to take the babies back to the eco's but she had to find Bray.
"Am…" Trudy was about to ask Amber what was going on but Amber mouthed at her to be quiet. She had heard a rustling in the trees and sure enough three Techno's came into a small clearing.
"They've got to be around here somewhere. Two women with children was what those weird people said," One of them said to the other two. Amber couldn't believe it. She knew she wasn't on best terms with the eco's but she didn't think they'd betray her like that. Suddenly, Little Bray awoke and started to grizzle, Amber rocked him like crazy to try and keep him quiet but it was no use. He started to wail and as soon as the Techno's heard they headed straight for them.
"We've got them, all four of them" called the tallest Techno. He grabbed the screaming bundle away from his mother and handed it to the Techno that had spoken before. "You're coming with us, up you get." He said as the third Techno took Brady off of Trudy.
"What are you doing? Give us back our children," Cried Trudy. Amber began to cry, why was nothing going right for her? She had lost everything, her home, her lover and now her son. Two more Technos appeared and took them, they blindfolded them and bound their hands and carried them away. Before they knew what was going on the two girls were being led into a truck. They felt the tightness in their wrists released and what was darkness was filled with light. The rest of the eco's were sitting in there. An unfamiliar Techno came round to the back weighed down with two screaming children.
"Whose do these belong to?" he called above the howling.
"Me!" both Trudy and Amber called at the same time. The Techno climbed aboard and handed the correct baby to its mother. Amber held Little Bray tight. The Techno jumped off, secured the back and gave a signal to the driver to go.

"Amber where are you?" the figure continued calling his lost lover but he knew it was hopeless, he gave up and began to weep, not that crying was a usual thing for him. He sighed but the flap on his tent moved and a black shape walked in with some medicine. "How are you feeling?" a male voice asked. "You are certainly looking a lot better than when we found you! I don't know what you'd been doing but somebody had left you for dead." He said gently.
"Huh?" the injured man didn't know where he was. "Where am I? Where's Amber?" he asked.
"Amber? I don't know any Amber but I can tell you where you are. You are in a Techno Camp; we are a new tribe in the city. And we found you and now we're going to help you. You were in a bad way," he explained. "Now this might hurt a little." He added pouring a sweet smelling ointment onto the man's wounds. The man flinched as the lotion being poured onto his skin stung. "Have you got a name?" said the Techno trying to make conversation. He finished dressing the wounds and put the lid on the ointment.
"Bray, my name is Bray and I've got to find Amber…my baby" He got up but pain struck him and he was forced to lie back down.
"Your baby? Well you look like a guy!" he joked, "And I'm Den by the way. What do you mean your baby? You have a daughter named Amber? How old is she?"
"No…Amber, my girl and…" he was trying to remember. He inhaled and began again "I left her to find help. She was in labour in a barn and in pain. Please I have to find her." A tear ran down his cut face and made it sting but he couldn't stop them.
"Look, I'll find her and your baby, I'm sure they're fine." Den promised kindly. "Now rest." And he left Bray sleeping.
