Charlotte POV

I looked at my friends. "What do we do now?"

"I don't know Charlie. I just don't know" Jaz replied. As she said that we were placed back down on the ground. Morgan seemed to have forgotten about us. So we did the sensible thing and ran for it.

it took us ages to get back to the castle. We had to keep stopping to avoid being spotted by villains, but when we got there the school had already fallen.

"what now?" Shadow asked. None of us knew the answer to that.

"isn't it obvious?" Hector asked "we fight back!"

"how?" That was Carlos

"we are the runners, master thieves and burglars. We are the children of the shadows. There is no lock that can keep us in or out. I say we head to the museum and get the wand"

"so the villains can't get it" Shadow butted in

"I know where it is"

"Then let's go get it!"

The Runners were on the run again, only this time Carlos was with us.

We made it to the museum, after nearly getting seen five times. Well Carlos was.

"careful, there's a forcefield around it"

"how do we get rid of the forcefield?"

"I have no idea" well that was helpful wasn't it?

"ok. Jaz, Shadow you two go through the museum. Grab anything we could use. Hector, you keep watch, shout out if you see anything. And Carlos you and I can work on getting rid of this stupid forcefield."

After five minutes we were getting nowhere. Jaz and Shadow came back with loads of stuff including five bags. I helped them put everything in bags whilst Carlos went to do something. When he came back the force field was down. I grabbed the wand and shoved it in my bag.

"Hector come on" Hector grabbed a bag and we set off "what now?" Shadow asked.

"now we find somewhere to hide. We need somewhere to train, after all we are skilled at running not fighting and if we want to escape from our parents of good we need to fight back" Hector has been talking more and more since we came to auradon.

"I know somewhere" I looked at my brother "this way" we headed off towards the woods. "I found this place by accident when I was taking dude for a walk"

"Dude?" "my dog" "oh"

"anyway, Here it is" He pulled some bushes away from a rock wall to reveal a hole in the wall. We followed the tunnel down where it opened up into a giant cavern.

"Cool. Does anyone else know about this?" Shadow asked

"How is it still light in here?" Jaz questioned

"One, no and two, no idea"

"ok we're gonna need supplies. Shadow, Jaz you two go out see what you can find. Hector, Carlos search the caverns, see what's in here."

"and what are you going to be doing, Charlie?"

"What I do best Jaz, what I do best" Jaz smiled and shook her head

"only you Charlie. Only you"

"wait, What are you going to do Charlotte?"

"I am going to wind them up Carlos. Make them mad. Rub it in their faces that we got away"

"How? I only just got you back Charlotte. I don't want to lose you again"

"you wont. I know what I'm doing, anyway last time they caught me unaware. They wont get me again"

"How are you going to do it?"

"The Charlie way" I walked back out before he could say anything else.

Jaz POV

I watched Charlie leave. "you really pushed her. I get it Carlos, she's your little sister. You feel like you need to protect her, but Charlie doesn't need protecting. She can look after herself. I don't pretend to know her history. She spent six months on her own, what happened during that time. I don't know. I don't think I ever will know. But I trust her with my life. I said it before and I say it again. I trust her with my life and I will stand behind her every step of the way. If you can't handle her looking after herself, then maybe, maybe you shouldn't interfere with what we do" I turned away

"come on Shadow, lets go" I walked out the cavern, Shadow close behind.

the local village was deserted so we broke into a store and started raiding, shoving everything into bags.

"how are we going to carry all this?" Shadow asked. I looked around.

"the cart. Fill it and we can drag it back to base"

"on it" I left shadow filling the cart and ran to the sports section. There were lots of arrows at the back along with a couple of bows. I grabbed them all running back to the cart.

"lets go" Shadow nodded and changed into a wolf. I fixed the harness on him and we set off.

we got back to the cavern. The others still weren't back.

"grabbed some weapons whilst we were out. we can always make more arrows"

"True. I grabbed some knives as well Jaz"

We had just finished unloading the cart when Hector and carlos came in.

"How much did you two grab?" Carlos asked

"when you live on the streets you learn to get things whilst you can. We may not get another chance to grab things like food for a while. Eat the fresh things first. Wast nothing and leave the tinned food for last." hector took charge

"any sign of Charlie?"

"nothing yet. But no sign of villains either. I think her distraction worked"

"I just hope she comes back"

"We all do Carlos. We all do"
