Hybrid Of The End

~Act Two - Chapter Two~

The forest wasn't all that bad; not as it seemed to be anyway, that's only if you ignored the strange bugs and frost of the night, as well as the bad sleeping places and constant need to be quite just incase you get found or even heard by something lurking around you, that is.

Mr Hyde had taken the bag off Ranboo once they all made it outside, already taking control of the situation and leading everyone away.
It had turned out the bag was more or less what Ranboo had packed before, yet more food and water had been stored inside.
Still to this night Ranboo wonders how the bee boy managed to slip into his room and steal the things from under his bed without anyone, or even himself, knowing.

  No one had even a real amount of time to grieve, not before they had been rushing through the sloped edges and twines of branches; though I guess it was for best that they didn't try to recall a trauma so fresh in their brains.

Mr Hyde pushed it away and called that tragedy 'just another day at the facility'.

   Michael didn't speak after leaving the area.

Tommy never spoke about what happened to the twins and his eyes, only that he couldn't have helped them.

And Ranboo never cried.

The four would survive. It was their goal.
It was their hope, not just to live but to survive it all and be free.

Tommy wished to see his old family once more and Ranboo wished to remember all that he had once forgot, the others wouldn't say what it was they wished for; yet it was enough to cause tears in their eyes.

"This way," Mr Hyde waved a hand to his left, causing the others to duck slightly and follow his direction.

Michael walked in-between Tommy and Ranboo; holding their hands to avoid any slips or shards in the mud. Occasionally the group would pause for a small rest; though those rests had started to grow smaller and more distant from eachother, they changed after each sip of water and each bite of food they all took.

"Where are we heading?" Tommy would sigh, "I know we've got a map but how do we actually know where we are?"

Mr Hyde only paused and turned aroun to face the three. "Quite simple, you'd match what's on the map to what's infront of you" the map straightened out the folded up map slightly, bringing it over for all them to see.

"We've just went passed that fork!" Ranboo said happily, causing Mr Hyde to nod as he pointed up to the left and followed the road upwards.

"Wait, what's that place?" Tommy interrupted, pointing to a group of boxes on the map. "Why we going there?"

"It's a town, I'll be going in to get us some more food and all that: you'll stay out of sight" He grumbled, shaking his head at the little Knowledge they held. "We're almost there anyway"

Time sped by, the three walking in a sort of uncomfortable yet somewhat comfortable silence.
Michael walked in-between Tommy and Ranboo, holding their hands for their sake as much as his.
On occasion Tommy would almost stumble, or continue walk forwards when the others turned: causing both Ranboo and Michael to try pull him out the way as much as they could. Didn't stop him from walking into trees though.

Smoke could be seen over the top of trees, as well as white stone inbetween them.
Sounds of voices, bells and even an unusual sound of rocks moving with no cause cascaded over their ears.

"Almost there" Mr Hyde folded up the map and slipped it into what seemed to be a pocket inside his waistline. The three boys looked at eachother, Ranboo full of anxiety whilst the other two seemed full of bliss. "You lot stay crouched down"

He walked over towards an area where the roads broke off into small paths that guided between large patches of flowered and tree-filled land. 
  Hyde pushed their shoulders, causing them to kneel on the other side of a large bush.

"Don't move" he almost seemed to growl as he stood back up and walked away with the bag still over his back.

"Well now I'm bored" Tommy huffed, turning to  face the other two and leaning himself on a tree.
  Micheal tried to copy him, yet ended up just falling on Ranboos lap.

"Isn't this to dangerous?" Ranboo bit his bottom lip, looking back through the bush to see strangers running about or walking strollers with children inside them: all minding their own business.

"We're in a bush, no one's going to see us" He rolled his eyes and crossed his arms, Micheal coping and doing the same against Ranboos legs.

"I guess your right,"

"Duh, I'm always right" He gave a smirk at him.
