Clau
We all walked slowly into the woods not knowing what we were getting into. It was so dark and there was a full moon. I've always heard about the moon but I've never actually seen it before since the sky is invisible from where Kamp Kaeger is and our homes.
Clau: There's the moon
Texcean Gacy: Wow
Clau: I can't believe we've never seen it before.
Texcean Gacy: Same
Sabastian Saw: Are we seriously gonna walk this whole time?
Clau: Of course not, I found a map in Lady Carmine's office.
Clau: There's a train that comes at 12
Benjamin Donovan: Well it's 11:30
Clau: That's why we need to hurry, but It's dark and I can't see anything.
Brielle Bassett: Oh I forgot to tell you all I brought flashlights.
Sabastian Saw: How are you not prepared and you're the one that planned this?
Clau: Some of the stuff that we needed I didn't have access to.
Brielle Bassett: Just grab a flashlight.
Clau: Well I guess we're ready now.
Clau
We all continued walking through the woods for about 20 minutes then we stopped at the train tracks.
Clau: Finally
Clau: Benjamin, what time is it now?
Benjamin: 11:50
Clau: So we have a few minutes to rest.
Sabastian Saw: I'm full of energy
Benjamin Donovan: It's the snake part of you.
Sabastian Saw: I'm quite aware
Clau: Look, the trains coming.
Clau: Everybody, get ready.
Clau: We have to run and jump the train.
Pam Shawcross: After walking through the woods for 20 minutes, we're gonna jump a train!?
Clau: That's the only thing we can do if we don't want to be walking for like 3 more hours.
Clau: Everyone, get up.
Clau: Brielle Bassett: Ugh
Clau: Ok when it comes everyone jumps.
Clau: Ready?
Sabastian Saw: Yes Clau we're ready.
Clau: On a count of three if that's ok with you, your highness Sabastian.
Sabastian Saw: I'll allow it
Clau: Not even gonna entertain your ego.
Clau: It's coming
Clau: 1...2...3! JUMP!
Clau: Pam! Why didn't you jump!?
Pam Shawcross: I don't know, I'm nervous!
Clau: You have to jump!
Pam Shawcross: The trains to fast!
Clau: We have to help her!
Sabastian Saw: C'mon are we really gonna sit here and forget that she literally has super speed, we all do!
Clau: She's a siren. She only has super speed in water!
Benjamin Donovan: I'll get her.
Clau
When Benjamin jumped out of the train and grabbed Pam, I don't think he thought about how he would need super strength too.
Benjamin Donovan: I need a little help.
Brielle Bassett: I'll help you
Sabastian Saw: What!
Brielle Bassett: Benjamin, you run and I'll pull her on the train.
Pam Shawcross: pull me!?
Brielle Bassett: There's no other way.
Brielle Bassett: You ready?
Benjamin Donovan: Yeah
Brielle Bassett: Ok, come on.
Clau: Hurry!
Brielle Bassett: We're trying!
Benjamin Donovan: I'm ready for you to grab her!
Brielle Bassett: Ok!
Pam Shawcross: Aaaah!
Clau: Jump on, Benjamin.
Benjamin Donovan: Ok
Clau
Benjamin and Brielle jumped on the train and they were panting hard.
Sabastian Saw: You ok?
Brielle Bassett: Yeah
Clau: I was worried y'all wouldn't make it.
Benjamin Donovan: Same, honestly.
Clau: Now we just wait till sunrise.
Brielle Basset: I'm taking a nap, did anyone bring a blanket?
Sabastian Saw: I did, we can share if you like?
Brielle Bassett: Sure
Clau
I was sleepy but I couldn't sleep so I just stared outside the train thinking about how it's finally happening and how I might actually find out why I'm so different from my family.
Clau: Benjamin?
Benjamin Donovan: Huh?
Clau: Thank you for coming with me.
Benjamin Donovan: I should be thanking you. I wouldn't have ever done this by myself but you're allowing me to possibly find my parents.
Clau: What happened to your parents.
Benjamin Donovan: They went on a trip to the outside world a few months ago and they never came back.
Clau: I'm basically invisible to my parents.
Benjamin Donovan: Well they're missing out.
Clau: (Laughs)
Benjamin Donovan: Good night.
Clau: Good Night
