Into the Edge

Gathering supplies

"I think their fine, they'll probably wake up in a couple minutes. So when they wake up, we're going to clean them and feed them, oh, and give them some water. But we can't let Nick, or Rose see. And if any of them ask where you were, say the cafeteria, okay because if they find out, they will most likely kill you, so keep your eyes and ears open." I say.

"Well, we all know that, but where are we going to hide them? We obviously can't hide them here on the ground, someone will see them." James says.

"We can put them in the tree, just on the first big branch, it's high, but not too high, and we can easily sneak them food." I say.

"How do we get them up?" Liam asks.

"Isn't it obvious? Put them in the tree!" Lauren says.

"Alright, me and James will lift Jerry and Lauren, you and Liam can lift Ellie." I say.

"Okay." everyone says. As we lift Ellie and Jerry into the tree.

"Hey Sheila, where were you? I've been looking for you everywhere!" Rose says.

"Oh, you know, the cafeteria. I was just getting some supper." I say.

"But I already checked there, you weren't there." Rose says.

"Well I was probably just in the bathroom then." I say.

"Oh, good. Because I was so worried, I thought you got in trouble again or something.
Imagine if I actually did, Ni...Alex would have killed me that time. I'm probably going robe way more careful about the way I act from now on." I say.

"Cool." Rose says.

"I'm sorry that you just found me, and that you wanna keep talking but, I have to go work a late shift at the Salon, cause I'm kinda low on money right now. So yeah." I say.

"Okay bye." Rose says. As I head over to the cafeteria.

Does she actually believe me? That I'll stay out of trouble? That I'll be a good girl, from now on? Yeah right, I'm already devising an escape plan, if I'm right, and that manhole leads to the outside, we could escape, with no effort at all.

I walk into the storage area of the cafeteria, and see James standing in the middle, with a back pack.

"What's in there James?" I ask.

"Oh you know, healthy foods, stuff that have lots of calories. For Ellie and Jerry to eat." James responds.

"Okay, can I see it then?" I say.

"Go ahead." James says as he passes me the backpack. I zip it open, there is so much food in here, he's got everything, fruits, veggies, bread, granola bars, milk, and some candy.

"Alright James, I think this will last them two days, so in other words, it's enough." I say as I give the backpack back to James.

"So, what now? Clothes for the night? Blankets? A first aid kit maybe?" James says.

"I guess we'll get some first aid stuff. Where do we get it?" I say.

"The pharmacy, they have first aid things, bandages, cough medicine, cream." James says.

"Okay let's go." I say.

* * * *

"What should we get?" I ask.

"Everything, grab anything you can find, well everything you can find that will help with Jerry's injury." James says.

So that what I do, I grab anything I can find, Tylenol, different sizes of bandages, cough medicine, gauze, tape. James gets stuff to, but most of it is the same things that I got. We walk out but an alarm goes off.

"Hey you need to pay for that! If you don't I'll tell Alex about this!" The cashier says.

"Alright, fine David, you can have your money!" James says as he throws some money at David.

"That, was awesome James, you should do that more often!" I say.

"Thanks Sheila." James says.

"What next?" I ask.

"Clothes." James says just as Lauren and Liam walk by.

"Hey guys!" I yell.

"Oh hi Sheila!" Lauren says,

"Oh yeah, we got these sleeping bags and blankets for Ellie and Jerry. What did you get." Liam says.

"We got first aid supplies and food. So we only need to get clothes." James says.

"We can ask people for used clothes?" I ask.

"That's a great idea Sheila!" Lauren says.

"Yeah." Liam says.

"So, how about we all scatter, Liam, you go to our cabin, Lauren, you go to the cafeteria, Sheila, you go near the fountain, and I'll go near the pharmacy." James says.

"How about we meet back here in, say, ten minutes?" James says.

"Sure." I say.

* * * *

"So, what kind of stuff did you guys get?" I ask.

"I got two coats and two pairs of socks." Liam says.

"I have three shirts and one pair of jeans." James says.

"I have one pair of shoes and a sweater." Lauren says.

"So, I guess all of this should be enough right?" James says.

"It should be." I say.

"Then what are we waiting for, let's help Ellie and Jerry get better." Lauren says.

As we start walking over to the tree. Hopefully we can get Ellie and Jerry to wake up, and maybe, just maybe, we can get them to talk and maybe that manhole can get us out of here.

"Finally! What took you so long?" Ellie says.
