Chapter 2: Search and Help
The other members of the Shane gang were searching for Eli and asking around.
"Excuse me miss," Trixie said to an old woman watering her garden. "Have you seen this teen around?" She held up a picture of Eli.
"Hmm.. Why yes I have. He went north down towards Glowstone cavern," the woman told them. They smiled, glad to have a lead.
"Thank you!" Trixie quickly said and they rode off in the direction the woman said. On their way there they heard the group Eli had been chased by.
"We scared that Shane kid!" One laughed.
"Yeah, his face was pretty funny," another agreed.
"Hey!" Trixie yelled. They looked at them. "What did you do with Eli?!"
"Uh-oh," one said, knowing they had less of a chance because there was more. They ran. The gang chances after them.
Meanwhile...
A girl about 14 years of age with blonde hair and blue eyes, wearing a pink shirt and white pants and a boy about 17 years of age wearing a dark green shirt and brown paints but has brown hair and green eyes were looking at Eli and arguing.
"He's hurt! We should help him!" The girl argued.
"He'll just be a burden Zoe!" The boy shot back.
"I don't care, Tommy! He's hurt! Dad always said-"
"You never turn down a friend in need, I know," Tommy interrupted with a sigh.
"Exactly," Zoe said.
"But this is different! He's a stranger! Not a friend!" Tommy came back. Zoe screamed in frustration.
"You are impossible! I'm helping him and that's final!" Zoe said and went to move Eli to a bed. Tommy growled angrily and left to his room. Zoe sighed. "Sometimes I just wish he'd understand." She whispered and got back to helping Eli.
