“this isnt working” a woman hissed

“of course it isn't working” a man said

“what do you “of course”? we need them now” 

“don't be absurd, he can wait a little longer.  we have until the end of the summer. we don't want them to think that he is the villain” the man said

“but we need to have them here already! we should take them now! the longer we wait the less stupid theyll be!” the woman said

“true but how would they find out?” the man asked

carci frowned. find what out? who was “they”?

“well a little birdy told me they found and took a look around the old cabin”
“oh you’re right, that is a problem” 

“see?”

“the old cabin?” carci whispered so quiet it barely made a sound

“fine then. we’ll act as soon as possable” he said as they left

carci didnt move for a few seconds

“the old cabin, but no one else went to the cabin right? just me catherine and mallory. maybe some other kids went? but if no one else did then who would have tld them? i know it wasn't catherine or joan and mallory- oh” carci says

carci left with great urgency in her step

“carci!” catherine says

“catherine they know” carci says

“what?” she asked confused

“the cabin! they know we went!” carci says

“what how? no one else was around right? you said no one else was around”

“cause no one else was around”

“then how-” catherine stoped

she and carci looked at each other

“mallory” they said 

“why though?”

“i dont know im not Mallory but they said something about getting us i think”

“like the boogie man?” catherine asks

“no like kidnap” carci says

“yeah that makes more sense”

joan froze

“wait hold on go back” joan says

“To which part?” carci asks

“yeah there was no stopping us” catherine says

“no, no. that's not- i don't care about that if anything i'm upset you didn't bring me with you” joan says dismissively

“the bit about being kidnaped. did they say why?”

“yeah something about being on someone else's side?” carci says

“why?” catherine asks

“BECAUSE! bill just sent you straight to the person he’s been trying to shelter you from! from! Fuuuck, I hate oracles! Why do people still use them! they are just bord women with nothing better to do than make people freak out!” joan groans
