"Talin...Talin, get up."
"Nyaaaaa......go away..."
WHACK!

Talin jolted to her feet, tensed and dropping into a fighting position.
"SHH!" Daj hissed, grabbing her arm tightly before she could attack.
Talin froze, her heart pounding in her ears. Far off, they could hear the whir of a helicopter.
"They're looking for us. We should go." Yaz breathed.
"They have ground units. They'll hear the bikes."
"Then what do we do?!"
"I assume they have heat-tracking devices, so we need to get under something, quick."
The group gathered their blankets and gathered in a corner, and then buried themselves under them. Talin was uncomfortably wedged between big bulking Loz and boney Yazz, with Daj's leg somehow wrapped around hers. But when the helicopter came closer, she stopped trying to shift into a comfier position.

"Ground Unit to air, anything? over." A voice said, unexpectedly and terrifyingly close.
"Nothing, just some animals. Wait... picking up large heat deposits in sector five. Over."
"Copy that. Move out!"

THe sound of many marching feet roared past them, and then it was quiet.
"Now's our chance." Daj breathed.
"Wait!" Talin hissed, grabbing at them as they went to move. But when they gave her a questioning look, she was just as confused as they were.
"Seph, did you do that?!" Talin thought angrily.
"Valentine's here." Seph replied, as if it were an acceptable excuse.
"Valentine." Talin whispered. She discovered a small hole over her head, and looked around. THen, aty the beam she had earlier been lying on, she saw the waving red cape. Vincent was crouched down, placing his ungloved human hand on the cold metal, eyes clsoed. Then, his eyes flashed around. He suddenly pulled out a cell phone.
"Cloud. They were here not too long ago. It looks like they just left when they heard the copter.... No, I can't trace them past here....Right."
Vincent jumped down from the beam, and then disappeared. After a few more minutes, the group finally dispered from the crammed corner.

"We have to go fast, they'll catch on. We need to move full speed. THink you can handle it?" Daj asked, looking directly at Talin. She nodded, smirking slightly at the silly question.
"Right. Ok, let's move."

I'm sorry it's such a short chapter, but I don't have a lot of time, I'm taking exams like crazy here! TTYL
