Who's Laughing Now?

     They were glad they had their backpack on them when they randomly fell through a portal in their sleep. When they opened their eyes, They knew they were still in Camden because their duplicates range was not that far. But the neighborhood was very different and they've never been at such a place. Thankfully, they made sure to put snacks and clothing inside from everyone else's bags incase they would need anything. However Ainsley was too hurt to reach anything, so stayed on the ground a for a bit trying to process everything that was happening. They were going to rest their eyes until a car honked at them. Ainsley slowly rolled to their side, attempting to get up, but their body just couldn't do it. Their eyes opened slightly to observe the vehicle in front of them. The car was blue and larger than the vehicle Tori drove. That was the last thing they saw before closing their eyes again, still exhausted. When Ainsley didn't get up immediately, a man and a woman got out of the car together and walked up to them.

      "Is she dead?" The woman asked.

      "No, she just moved Tyson." The man knelt down and stared at Ainsley. "She's hurt really badly, should we take her?"

       "I don't know, but she does look like a kid." The woman replied. "Gosh, they're crazy out here."

       "Okay, let's get her into the car and we can get her back to safety." The man shook Ainsley gently, causing them to open their eyes. "Hey, we're here to help you, can you get up?" Ainsley scratched their head, so lost in everything that was happening right now.

      "Who are you people?"

       "My name is Tyson and this is Clyde. We're here to help you because it looks like you need help. You're very hurt, and our moms a nurse." Ainsley sighed at those words. they knew Tori would kill them for even thinking about going with the two, but they were badly hurt at this point and needed some sort of medical care or assistance. At this point, they were desperate for any sort of help. That's when they made the decision to start picking themselves up. Tyson and Clyde were there to help them and walked them over to their car. When they got Ainsley into the back seat, they noticed that the car had four more available seats which would fit the rest of the group.

      "Hey um...I have a question."

      "What's up?" Clyde responded.

      "Is it possible if we pick up my four friends as well? I know that's a huge favor but, we're all in this mess and I want to make sure they're safe too."

     Clyde and Tyson gave each other a look.

     "We understand, of course. Where are they now?" Tyson asked.

      "I have to call them but my phone broke." Tyson typed in the password on her phone and handed it over to Ainsley. Ainsley dialed Tori's number first because that was the only number they knew from heart. Tori picked up in almost an instant.

     "Hello?"

      "Tori, it's me Ainsley. Where are you guys?"

      "Oh my god, Ainsley you're okay! I was so worried about you!" Tori said in relief. "But, I don't know the answer to your question. I was just with everyone and your parents and then-"

       "Wait, my parents are back?"

      "Yeah, they gave me their gun and everything-"

       "My parents have a gun?" Ainsley was even more confused now, but that was the last thing they should be worrying about.

      "Yes. There's only one bullet in it though. But what I was telling you was that I was just with them and then I fell through this green portal and teleported somewhere else. I have no clue where I am." Ainsley sighed.
