Long Story Short, I Survived

are you guys in love?

We walked into the woods and I led them on a narrow dirt path that led us through the woods and out onto a brick road. "Not too far from here, it's just down the road." I stated. About 10 minutes later we arrived to the train station. "Three tickets to the country side." I said. We all got our tickets and got on the train, the train was almost my second home, I've been sleeping most my nights on the train and getting my planning done. We found a seat and all sat down, Ian next to me and scarlet sat on my lap so I could re-braid her hair. "So scar would you like the same as yesterday or do you wanna change it up?" I asked while brushing through her hair. "Same as yesterday." She answered. A few hours eventually pass, I braided scarlets hair and we all fell asleep for a while, my head on Ian's shoulder and scarlet spread out across us, I soon was startled awake by the train coming to a stop. "Guys it's time to go." I spoke softly, shaking Ian and picking up scarlet. They eventually got up and we got of the train. "I think I remember the address, it should be 2143 field street." I said as I sat scarlet down. "Follow me!" I said, walking down the road.
About 20 minutes later we arrived, I walked down the sadly familiar dirt road. I walked up to the door with Ian and scarlet behind me, I knocked on the wooden door, praying my father would answer. "Aurora?" He said as he opened the door. "Hi dad." I smiled, walking in. "You have the gold?" He asked. "Yeah here you go." I answered, handing him the bag. "Who are these people?" Alex asked. "My friends Ian and scarlet." I replied. "Very nice to meet you both." He added, They both smiled In return. "Rosetta is in Pine Mountain Lodge it's about 2 hours from here and 4 from your house, she'll be waiting, but not how you expect her to be, she's held captive and we need you to be strong and get her out of there, it's extremely dangerous please stick together. Their is no time for grief you just need to go." He explained. "Here is a 2 gold decoys, one is for if Eleanor gives you more trouble and the other is to get Rosetta out of the lodge." He stated. "Thank you dad, you've been much help." I responded. "Farewell once again Aurora, enjoy the voyage, everything happens for a reason, it's teaching you something!" He shouted as we walked out the door.
"Back to the train station." I sighed as I put the gold decoys in dress. "Hey look on the bright side Ror, we're about to free your aunt!" Ian spoke cheerfully. "Ror?" I chuckled. "Yeah it suits you and is the perfect shortening of Aurora." Ian smiled proudly. "Your so stupid." I laughed as I grabbed scarlets hand while we crossed the street. "Only for you." He said sarcastically. "Whatever." I jokingly rolled my eyes. "Are you guys in love?" Scarlet giggled. "Oh definitely not, God no!" I answered. "Yeah Aurora is totally gross." Ian jokingly added. "Yeah yeah." I sniggered, flicking his forehead. "Hey looks like we're here." I stated, turning my attention towards the train station. Flash forward we got our tickets and got on the train. "I'm hungry!" Scarlet groaned. "We can order some food on the train." I replied, pulling out a stash of money. "Whoa where did you get that!" Ian asked. "Don't worry about it." I responded, just between you and me, it's a mix of the lended money of Rosetta's and money I stole from Eleanor. "Would you children care for a meal?" A man asked. "Yes please that would be very nice." Scarlet eagerly answered. "Very well, here's some menus, just tell me what you'd like and I'll bring it to you." The man said as he handed us menus. A few minutes later we all ordered our food and now we were just waiting on it.
"Here is your food, the total will be around 40 dollars." The man spoke. "Alright." I said, handing him some money. "Yum." Scarlet sighed. I couldn't help but laugh at how real scarlet is, she doesn't let the world get in the way of her life. A few hours later we arrived at Pine Mountain. "are we going to save Rosetta?" Scarlet questioned. "Yeah scar." Ian answered as we exited the train. I followed the directions that my father gave me and we got there in about 40 minutes. "Hey I think you need to stay out here with scarlet, I don't want you guys to be exposed to this, it could be traumatizing on a whole different level, especially for scarlet." I whispered to Ian as we stood outside the holiday lodge. "What no! I can't let you go in there all by yourself, you heard your dad, he said it was dangerous and to stick together!" Ian yelled. "Shh! I don't want you guys getting hurt, your my only friends and I can't risk losing you guys too, I'm not ready." I explained. "I promise we will be just fine, I'll protect scarlet if anything happens, I just can't let you get hurt all on your own, what if something goes wrong? You won't have anyone." Ian defended himself. "Alright fine, but you don't know what your getting yourself into, you need to be prepared." I spoke. "Then prepare us, we're ready." He replied.  "Okay Scar I'm going to need you to stay behind me and Ian at all times unless we direct otherwise and Ian I need you to just not be stupid okay?" I said. "Okay." Scarlet and Ian both said. We all walked up the steps that were built in the mountain and got to the lodge. I opened the wooden log door and I looked around, nobody was there but a lady at the front desk. "Alright I know what we need to do, we're going to pretend to get a room for the night, we need to act as if we're a family, me and you will be the parents of scarlet and I'll know what to do from there." I declared.
