D: Not mine, boo-hoo, but they're not mine..okay!?
A/N: Thanks for all the reviews! You guys are the BEST!!! Love all the reviews, so here's the next chappy, guaranteed to be longer. It gets more into the juicy climax stuff, so hold on to the edge of your seats! Gosh, I need to stop watching so much TV!! Enjoy, and review perty please!?! A/N: By the way, I wrote this with the impression that Shelby lived only about 12 hours from Horizon, I did not know it was different on the show, so keep that in mind. {#}
Jess drove well into the early, early morning when she started yawning. And the truck did as well.
"What WAS that?!" Shelby said waking up when she'd unwillingly fell asleep a few hours back.
"I don't know, the trucks acting funny." Jess said in a scared whine. She gripped the wheel harder as the noise seemed to get louder.
"How long has it been making that noise? We don't need gas!" Shelby said worried now.
"About an hour ago, I think." Jess said shrugging.
"An HOUR AGO!! Jessabell Christy Merrick! HOW come you didn't TELL me!!?" Shelby yelled, her head pounding even more.
" I'm SORRY Shelby Breelyn Merrick, YOU wouldn't wake up completely, you just kept mumbling stuff. You have a CONCUSSION..remember!!" Jess yelled defensively.
"Okay.I'm sorry.It's just my head hurts. Okay.. Pull over and we'll see what's wrong." Shelby said holding her head in her only good hand. Her injured right wrist wasn't helping either. She felt helpless. She wanted Scott. She NEEDED Scott.
Jess pulled over and they climbed out onto a small dirt path along the highway. Shelby popped the hood so Jess could open it then came to look herself. It smoked.
A LOT.
"Um..cough.wellcough.it's..cough."Jess sputtered eyeballing the engine while cocking her head to the side with a confused bewildered look on her face.
"cough, cough.ughh..SCOTT!!!" Shelby sputtered than screamed when she had no clue what to do now. It was freezing. She needed a doctor, mechanic, a heater, and a hug all at once. And on top of that their flash light batteries were already low. She didn't think it could possibly get any worse.
"Uh.sorry to bring up more bad news, Shell-bell, but the police are out looking for you. They say you kidnapped me and assaulted Walt. They want to arrest you and told people to consider you dangerous." Jess piped up unsuringly. Shelby almost fell apart then and there. They sat on a low rock together, huddled together for warmth.
"Wonderful." Was all she said as she teared up finally, her whole face crumpling up making her gash hurt worse. Jess looked at her with pity.
"I know. Scott." Jess said softly, laying her head on her big sister's shoulder.

At Horizon, Scott was awake to at 3:00am in the morning. "She needs me." He whispered into the air by the outside fireplace. He didn't know how he knew, but he just did. He could just feel her desperate, afraid, and lost. Boy, was she ever.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
By light, Shelby was weak. Jess was only a little better but the freezing from the night before had gotten to her also.
"Sh-Shelby? Are we gonna die?" Jess asked with a very small voice.
"No! W-we are n-not! Just hang in th-there J-Jess!" Shelby said, still trying to perfect the plan B she'd been working on. They had spent the rest of the night/early morning in the truck getting some warmth snuggled up together with a blanket Shelby had brought.
"At least it's light out and the cops haven't found us yet. How close do you think we are to that school of yours?" Jess asked as Shelby tried once again to try to start the truck.
"About a 2 hour drive..I don't know how far it is to walk. But we're walking. It won't start, and now that it's light the cops will find us for sure." Shelby said defeated, pounding the wheel with her only good hand. Jess frowned at this and looked scared.
"Well,.go through the bags, take only the bare minimums and put it in the lightest most adequate bag. Something that won't slow you down. I'll use rope from under the seat to roll two blankets up. And make sure to have room for the water bottles and the granola bars you got. We have to start walking before the cops find us. Hurry." Shelby stated, remembering from some of the things she learned with Peter and Sophie on all their hikes.
Twenty minutes later they were packed, all except.
"Snoozie! I HAVE to bring him, Shel!"Jess pouted.
"Okay, I'll tie him to the outside of your pack." Shelby said rolling her eyes but smiling softly. She had her own stuffed elephant baby from Scott. So they set their packs firmly on their backs and started out at 7:00am on the dot after a granola bar and cold coffee breakfast. They headed straight into the forest with only Shelby's sort-of knowledge on direction. She just followed her heart.
