          WHILE EMMA WAS TEACHING THE KIDS TO PUSH THEIR BODIES. Lannion went over to Juliet for help, she sat beside Ray underneath the tree and she gave him a few tips. Ray had some other comments to help as well.

"Thanks Juliet!" He exclaims as the next round started and the kids ran away once again.

Juliet sighed, leaning her head on Ray's shoulder while closing her eyes. He looks down at her with a smile. "What's wrong? You tired from running all day?"

"You know it." She breathes out, wanting to rest for a moment. There was a moment of silence and a breeze flew past them, tangling in Juliet's hair perfectly.

"Hey Ray." She started.

He hummed in response. "Hm?"

"Do you really think we'll escape from here?" Juliet asked him with a low, soft tone to her voice. He stayed silent for a moment before answering, flipping the page in his book.

"I think so." He nodded his head. "We're smart Juliet, have some faith in us."

"I do, it's just—" She paused, thinking back to when Emma and Norman inspected the wall beyond the forest. All she smelt was dirt, no trees, no nothing. Only she knew that beyond that wall, was a cliff that none of them could ever jump.

"What?"

"Nothing. I'm just scared." She covered up.

"Well don't be because I'll be your side to protect you, okay?" Ray reassured her, brushing her bangs out of her eyes. Juliet gave him a smile.

Suddenly, while Ray was giving Thoma some tips, some kids giggled. Juliet lifts her head up from Ray's shoulder and looks over to Sister Krone who had a smile on her face.

She gave Yvette a piggyback as she walked over. "Outside playing tag, looks like fun. It's important that I get to know all of you better. So let me join in!"

When Juliette breathes in, she smelt a familiar scent she smelt yesterday. Her eyes widen in response. Was it her who was listening to us?

"Sounds fun!" Juliet exclaims, standing up and wiping the grass off her skirt. Ray furrowed his eyebrows at her words. "You can play with us, as along as you're the one who's it!"

"Sounds like a deal!" Sister Krone exclaimed, shaking Juliet's hand. "Now, run and hide!"

          WHILE SISTER KRONE COUNTED, Juliet watches from a nearby tree. She furrowed her eyebrows watching as the woman started dancing. Sister Krone then started sprinting down to the forest.

Juliet sighed and jumps down from the tree, landing in between Norman and Ray. "She's gone. She will probably try to find us first and then take out the younger ones."

"Yeah." Both boys nodded their head before they all ran to find Emma. After minutes of running around, Emma whispered to them from on top of a tree.
