*Chapter 2: Forest's Heart*
Max nearly screeched but again covered her mouth and controlled herself.
They both made a hasty turn to look upon the face of the stranger.
Luckily relief danced across their frightened faces.
"Hold up!" Zane said taking a step back to calm them.
"Zane!" Max yelled grasping him into a tight hug. Zane realized Max was
in bad shape and was also falling over, quickly, he pulled her back up.
"Maxie, now is not the time to be taking a rest." Zane informed her, meaning
to be a bit comical to brighten their moods but still taken seriously.
"Sorry, just a little dizzy. And maybe tired." She said standing on her own
again.
"Max your eyes are bloodshot and Zack, you look terrible...and both of
you are kinda...blue." Zane said looking at Zack and Max.
"We knew that much." Zack said, irritated.
"Have you seen the others?" Max asked anxiously, ignoring her other brothers.
"That's what I ment to tell you, a lot of us managed to regroup without notice.
The others are in a cabin several miles up the road and down into the heart
of the forest. I left them to look for more of us." Zane answered reassuringly
to his weak comrades.
"Well lead us there." Zack said breaking the silence that formed after
Zane's answer.
"Yes. Follow me." Zane led them through the bushy forest shrubs that
grew close to the road.
~

After about three hours that seemed like forever, they reached Zane's
stopping point.
"Okay, now from this point of the road all we need to do is head straight
into the forest around some fallen tree logs and a few bushes, then
we're safe, at least for now." Zane said sighing.
"How do you know this is the right place?" Max asked with childish
curiosity.
"Because Max, look." Zane pointed to a small stick figure of a happy
face with rocks dotting the eyes.
"Impressive." Zack stated sarcastically.
"I know, I'm the greatest artist ever. Come along now." Zane said, well more
like stated. He sounded like he really ment it which made Zack and Max
exchange looks.
"Zany, huh?" Max said after Zane had already started into the forest.
"That's what he's named for." Zack replied slipping a short smile.
~~~
"So, Maxie, what happened to you?" Zane asked crossing over an iced over
pond.
"Long story. Involved freezing water and the fabulous wonders of resurrection
normal people would call 'system shut-down rebooting."
"That would be 'normal' computer people," He corrected her and continuing,
"What about you?" Zane asked Zack.
Zane looked uneasy at first, even a little bit sick. I'd rather not discuss it."
Zack replied looking away. Max immediately grabbed his hand. He didn't resist.
There was a short pause, broken by Zane this time," Mine was strange.
It involved a dog, Tinga, a few tree branches and something I couldn't
identify." Zack raised his eyebrow, and Max smiled. Then she stopped, halting them.
"Thorn bushes, lots of them, right there." She pointed to a few brown thorned bushes.
"Thanks, I wasn't so lucky the last time I passed here." Zane responded looking down to his
arm and then stepping closer to Max and her insanely enhanced eyesight she managed to
keep in the freezing painful conditions.
"'Wonder how it grows in the this weather." Max said but it was more of a question.
"I dunno. You'd have to ask Ben." Zane said taking Max's vacant hand.
Max smiled, she missed Ben very bad. His stories and arms kept her warm at night
alot. Now she needed them more then ever. At least she got to hold hands with both
of her big brothers.
"So how did you find this place?" Zack asked for protection reasons.
"Tinga found me and brought me there. She said something about Krit's stomach
enhancing his smell 'cause he was hungry, instead he found the cabin, it had completely
different wood then the type in the forest." Zane explained.
"Makes sense. Remember the escape and evade game last week?" She got
two nods from her friends and continued," Well Krit was hungry and he could smell Cin's
scent and escaped her before she even knew he was in the area." Max added.
Zack listened quietly to his brother and sister converse.
They didn't have to be to quiet because Zack's high alert was secretly up
fully and he still managed to pay attention.
"Cool, sounds like it would come in handy. I wonder if that works
for all of us." Zane stated.
"Probably, but I wouldn't ever want to be that hungry." Max said smiling,
"It would be cool though."
Seeing Max smile raised Zack's spirit. He quickly smiled but nobody saw it.
~~~
"We there yet?" Max asked Zane awhile later.
"Not yet."
"How about now?"
"Not quite."
"Now?"
"Yes." Zane said and the group stopped.
"Really?" Max asked.
"Yep." Zane said pulling back a few pine tree branches and revealing
view of a cabin.
"Good." Zack said stepping forward and looking back to his younger siblings.
He quickly did a scan of the cabin and it's terra to check for the enemy.
"Clear."
