Slowly I let it sink in. Nothing had been making sense. It had been about six months since everyone paused but this had been the weirdest thing yet. Well other than the massive rat but that was just weird. "Well, what we gonna do now your highness?!" It was Arnold. I sighed, I thought he'd stopped this stupidity. Suddenly I felt surged by some kind of insane powerful anger. "WHY DO YOU INSIST ON HATING ME? ARE YOU JEALOUS OR SOMETHING, EH?" "WHY WOULD I BE JEALOUS OF YOU? WOW, PEOPLE LOOK UP AT YOU! BIG DEAL! ONLY IT'S JUST US LOT WHO DO ALL THE WORK WHILE YOU LAY ABOUT DOING NOTHING!" "OH, I DO NOTHING, DO I? THAT COMPLETELY EXPLAINS HOW EERYONES STILL ALIVE AND NOT DEAD DUE TO ALL OF THOSE FIGHTS! YOU JUST RAN OFF WHEN STUFF GOT TOO HARD FOR YOU! I'M SURPRISED THE BABIES STILL BREATHING WITHOUT KATIE'S HELP, OH WAIT, IT NEARLY WASN'T 'CAUSE YOU DIDN'T WANT TO BE RESCUED BY ME, LET ME STRESS THAT YET AGAIN I SAVED YOU AND WHAT THANKS DO I GET, YOU SAYING I DO NOTHING!" "OH, I DON'T KNOW WHY I EVEN GOT IN THE CAR, DEATH WOULD BE BETTER THAN THE ENTERNAL PAIN OF STAYING WITH YOU LOT, I HOPE YOU DIE!" "BRAKE! IT! UP!" Henry yelled. We both turned our glares to him. Usually this would be enough to make him back down but he wouldn't. "Oh give it up. If you're done messing around we'd like to move and find the others." We both looked at the floor sheepishly. Before long we had to set up a place to stay and almost instantly Théo and Scarlet were asleep. I, on the other hand, couldn't. I sat, cross legged, B-B on my lap and scanning for anything, good or bad.

The next day we set off again. With me in shotgun, Arnold driving and Scarlet and Théo looking after the baby. Henry and the others were in another car we found near a Tesco. We checked for people but there was no one.

After driving for a few hours we saw something odd. A hut. A new one. We dived out, ready for anything. But this. Hundreds of pre-schoolers charged out with poles. All went black.
