[Y/N]

I GROANED IN PAIN AS I ROLLED DOWN THE HILL. I sat up on the ground trying to catch my breath. "You do make an awful lot of noise, don't you?" the girl asked. I looked at the both of them. The boy way trying to get the dirt off his clothes and the girl's hat had fell off. Just like mine. "Well turns out been thrown off a train hurts consideably more than you might think" they boy snapped. "And I've lost a button."

I laughed a bit which turned into a fit of caughing quickly. The two turned to look at me worriedly. "I'm fine" I said as I finally calmed down.

Looking around I realised there was no sign of people living somewhere near. Which meant my plan had to be postponed for a while.

"YOU DO REALISE YOU'VE ENTIRELY RUINED PHASE THREE OF MY PLAN?" the girl said. "Phase what?" Tewkesbury asked confused. "Who even the hell are you two?"

"Look I believe our recent brush with death deserves me at least a name" he said when none of us answered. "Y/n L/n" I sighed. "Enola Holmes" the girl, now known as Enola said. The name sounds familiar. There is Sherlock Holmes of course but I don't think it's that. I faintly remember mother writting letters to someone with the same last name.

"Holmes? Like Sherlock?" Tewkesbury asked. "And I am undercover so forget I told you that piece of information" the gilr added. "Undercover working for him?" he asked excitedly. "Undercover from him" she corected him.

"Hence why you are dressed as a boy" he said with realisation written all over his face. "Hence why you are to say nothing" she shouted at him and stopped walking. "So?"

"What?" he asked confused. "Thank you? You are supposed to say thank you" the girl said. "For what?" Is this boy for real right now. The girl huffed and turned to look at me before walking away.

"So why are you dressed as a boy" ge asked looking at me. "I am also undercover" I said not wanting to get into details. "Undercover from who?" he questioned. "Undercover from my family. Undercover from my sister and her awful husband. And pretty much everyone else."

"WE SHOULD THINK ABOUT SLEEPING SOON" Enola said breaking the silence. "We should think about eating soon" Tewkesbury corrected. "What would we eat anyway?" I asked. "We have nothing to eat" Enola added as if it wasn't obvious. "Of course we do" the boy argued.

"Arctium lappa, which you know as burdock" he said pointing to a plant. "Very tasty" he added. "Um, and then there's Trifolium. Clover. And is that...Yes! I knew it. Mushrooms" he excalimed crouching to the ground and picking two of them up.

"Agaricus lanipes. The princess" he said handing one to me and one to the girl besides me. "If you could get a fire started I can make us a feast" he asked hopefully. "Okay" I said before turning to the girl besides me. "Fine" she gave in.
