"Is anyone hungry?"
Rubin shouts from the front door to the two teens, whom of which went to find Fang some more friends.
"Yes, I actually am hungry, did you make something Mr. Robertson?"
Fang asks, teleporting next to him.
"Yes I did make something. I made steak, mashed potatoes, and veggies,''
Rubin responds.
"That sounds good unless you suck at cooking,"
Blade says walking up to the two.
"I'm actually quite good at cooking, thank you very much,"
Rubin says unamused.
"Are you sure you're good?"
Blade asks sarcastically. Rubin only rolls his eyes and while giving a little chuckle he says
"If you're hungry come inside and eat. I'll let you determine my cooking skills."
Blade and Fang took off quicker than lightning to the table, sat down, and the four ate their food in silence.

"You're actually not bad at cooking old man, not bad at all,"
Blade says, turning his head towards Rubin. With an accomplished tone Rubin answers Blade's statement with
"I know and if you had said otherwise I would have told you, your taste buds are broken."
With a faint giggle Fang responds to Rubin comment saying
 "Well, it looks like Blade's taste buds are fine."
After the four had finished cleaning the dishes they all decided on going out to find Fang more friends to talk to.

"Hey, Mr. Robertson, what's that"
Fang asks, pointing into the distance.
"That's a good question Fang, that wasn't there before"
Rubin says, going ahead of the group to investigate. As Rubin approaches the strange motionless thing in front of them,  the barrier surrounding the forest collapses. Before the group could realize what had happened the order rang out
"Charge!"
Fang was the first to react, realizing what the order ment.
"Rubin run!"
Fang exclaimed as she started towards the forest, the two others of the group following not far behind. Shocked, Rubin could only turn to the forest, hear the screams of terror from all around him, and feel his heart race faster than he thought possible. Then finally he looked at the army of scientists and soldiers. A few more seconds went by before he finally took Fang’s words in
‘Rubin Run!’
 Suddenly, charging toward the forest he cried out over and over
"Evacuate! Everyone run for your lives, the barrier has been broken!"

The rest of the group could only get as far as Rubin's home before the troops blocked off the entire forest with an anti-magic barrier. Once they realize Rubin was nowhere around, panic sets its seeds deep within Fang.
‘What if he got caught? What if he got hurt? What if…’
Just as Fang was about to run out the door a mop of brown hair bulleted in closing the door fast as lightning behind him
“Oh thank Racldel! Mr. Robertson you're okay”
Fang exclaimed, running up and hugging the man
“Yes, forgive me for the fright. It took a while to run through the forest and help those I could”
Rubin said hugging Fang back with a warm saddened smile
"What are we going to do?"
Blade whispers after checking for troops outside.
"I don't know. I mean there's no way this should have happened…unless"
Rubin goes silent for a few moments.
"Unless that thing we saw somehow drains the barrier's energy. But that would mean that they figured out where the entrance was."
Rubin looks down piecing together what he already knew up to that point in time. Just then Rubin remembered something, looked up at Blade and asked
"Blade, when you came into the getaway forest this time...were you being followed?"
Blade and Fang look at each other nervously before
"Yes, we were being followed...by a scientist"
Fang admits in a quiet and apologetic tone.
"It's okay Fang, I just needed to know how they found the entrance, I'm not mad,"
Rubin says, closing the curtains of the last window in the house.
"Okay"
Fang says with a small smile.
"What's the plan to get out of here? Do we even have a plan?"
Blade asks, opening the curtains slightly, checking for troops again.
"No, I never made an emergency exit. We're trapped" Rubin states.
‘Trapped...trapped...trapped’
Rang through Fang's head till…
"The power to the barrier went out! Hurry grab them, don't let them escape!"
Once the realization hit the group they looked at eachother, when the groups eyes landed on Fang they unanimously gasped, her eyes glowing a royal blue.
"Fang, did- did you shut off the power"
Rubin asks, astonished.
"I- I think I did…We should go before it comes back online"
Fang says standing up.
"Agreed"
Blade says opening the door slightly
"but it may be a bit difficult"
He continues. Fang confused looked through the crack of the door seeing what Blade meant.
"Troops...I got it, you guys just run, I will protect us"
Fang says determination clear in her eyes.

As Fang swung the door open her eyes turned from their new color to a burning red. The troops, not even having time to comprehend they were leaving the house, stood still as Fang used her magic to knock them out. The four escapees go on their way, quick as lightning. As they approached the edge of the forest, Fang tripped causing the others to stop.
"Are you okay Fang"
Blade asks, helping her up
"yea I am, thanks, I just tripped"
Fang responds, getting to her feet.
"Let's get going then before they notice us"
Harry says looking into the distance.
"Right"
the others respond simultaneously. As the group passes by a land rover defender Harry stops, looks into the drivers side window, and jumps in.
"Guys the keys are in here lets drive instead"
Harry says, turning the key.
"Way to go Harry come on you two he knows how to drive don't worry"
Rubin says hopping into the passengers side. When everyone was in the vehicle Harry drove them out of the forest and to a gas station.

"What is this concoction? It's both cold and delicious"
Fang states surprised after taking a sip of the drink Blade bought her.
"It's called a slushie and every color is an entirely different flavor. When we need gas I'll get you a different flavor to try"
Blade says, handing Rubin and Harry a coffee each.
"Thank you for paying for everything even though we are the adults here"
Harry says, filling up the gas tank of the vehicle.
"No problem old fart, but once I run out of money we need to stop someplace for a while to accumulate enough money to continue on"
Blade says, pulling out his phone, checking his balance.
"No, we won't have to because I have enough money for twelve lifetimes. The only times we will stop are when we need to buy essentials, refill the gas tank, at night to rest, and at most a day a week to take a break from the road"
Rubin says, pushing Blades' phone away from his face.
"Wow, twelve lifetimes. Does that mean you're rich, or did you steal the money"
Blade asks, throwing away his now empty slushie cup.
"Both, the money does rightfully belong to me, but the death records say otherwise. I would have had enough to have a hundred lifetimes but the man who ended up inheriting the money took a lot of it out. Since I had to buy a lot of expensive stuff to create the getaway forest I was left with the amount I have now"
Rubin says, finishing his coffee.
"I see, so you're legally dead but you're still alive, how"
Fang asks, confused, setting down her drink in the car.
"My death was faked, but I need to go get some clothes for us all from the mall close by, I will let Harry explain how it happened if you wish to know that bad"
Rubin said walking away.
