𝐂𝐋𝐀𝐈𝐑𝐄 𝐖𝐀𝐋𝐊𝐄𝐃 through the woods looking for water. Owen was back at the bunker trying to find where Maisie could have gone. He made a map on a little piece of paper he found in a cabinet and a pen. She was out for about seven minutes when she heard water crashing into rocks.

Claire ran toward the sound. When she arrived, she saw a waterfall that was small but was good enough to survive on. She climbed down the rocks and ran into the water. "Finally!" Claire threw some water around happily. Now that they'd found a water source, she could finally start looking for her daughter.

She walked past the waterfall and saw an old shack. it looked like a radio station of some sort. Claire walked to it, entering and admiring everything she saw. There was a radio, notepad, walkie-talkies, basically everything you could need except food. She grabbed the items and headed back to the bunker.

Claire opened the hatch and threw the stuff down gently so none of it would break and hopped down the hatch. "Look what I found," She picked the items up and placed them on the table.

"Where did you get all of this?" Owen rushed toward the radio and fiddled around with it. He looked like a kid from the 2000s looking at an iPhone.

She looked for an outlet--if the lights were working the power must be. "I found a radio shack next to a waterfall."

"Waterfall?" He put the radio down and widened his eyes. Damn, I missed a lot, I'm never staying in here again.

"Yep, we got water now. We can find Maisie." Claire found an outlet and plugged the radio in. It made a couple of beeps signaling that it was fully functional.

"Hey, you found walkie-talkies," Owen grabbed a pair and spoke into one making his voice echo through the other with feedback.

Claire got up and pushed the antenna down that was on the device, "Yeah I did. We aren't children so no playing around." She took it away which caused Owen to let out a quiet whimper.

"I know, I know, but can't I just-"

"No, Owen." Claire stood her ground. He always acted like a child, but this was time to get serious, their kid's life was on the line. "We can break stuff that we might need for saving Maisie."

"Whatever."

𝐌𝐀𝐈𝐒𝐈𝐄 𝐆𝐑𝐎𝐀𝐍𝐄𝐃, "God will you stop pasting around? that's not going to do anything."

Maya was freaking out, in a good way. She had to plan out the decisions now. She got to decide.

"Besides the point," Maya stopped and sat down next to Maisie who had their head tilted back onto the cave walls.  "How's your side?"

"Hurts like hell," Maisie replied. She didn't dare to look at it in fear that it would turn out worse than she thought it was.

Maya took a deep breath, "can I see it?"

Maisie raised her eyebrows in response. "NO-no No not like that!"

YOU'RE PANICKING MAYA. CALM. DOWN. "I need to check to see if it's bad." She added. Maya's face was completely calm, but on the inside, she was screaming like someone was being murdered in front of her.

"Yeah--sure." Maisie lifted her shirt slightly and revealed purple-coated skin. Maya scrunched her face at the sight, God that looks painful.

"It's not that bad... it could be worse." She got up, rolling on her heels back and forth. She was getting anxious; a lot went down. Now that she has the power to make choices, she has no idea what to do. We need food, and water, Maisie's hurt though maybe we could just-

"Hey... sit." Maisie patted the floor next to her. Maya sat down again staring at the entrance of the cave, tapping her foot up and down. "Will you look at me?"

She turned to Maisie. "We have each other's backs, okay? We're going to be fine." Maisie grabbed Maya's hand and squeezed it tightly.

"Yeah?"

"Yeah." She smiled.

"What the actual hell." Kayla entered the cave scaring the hell out of Maisie and Maya so much they practically leaped into each other's arms. "It's a small world after all.", Maya mumbled.
