When we walked back downstairs we seen an empty kitchen. thinking he 's in his room or something. I could feel the guilt in the pit of my stomach about the fight with Cade. He was only trying to protect me and I lashed out on him but I'm not gonna be the one to apologize even though I should. Then I started thinking something.

I kept thinking it. Thinking about the pros and cons. There was too many cons to count but the pros overruled the cons by a lot. It was the most dangerous thing I have ever thought of doing but I knew it had to be done.

"Dannie... Can I ask you something?" I looked at her still lost in thought.

"Sure. What's wrong?" She asked.

"In private?" I looked at Blake.

He nodded and went to the living room. Dannie and I walked onto the back porch and sat on the porch swing.

"I've been thinking about something... And yo might not like it," I started.

"Ashley your not leaving again," She darted her eyes to mine.

I shook my head "No. Not that," I told her. I looked out at the forest. "Ok so-" I was cut off when I heard her gasp and I turned to her.

"What's wrong?" I put my hand on her shoulder. Her eyes were closed and she was shaking. Soon she just stopped completely. She opened her eyes slowly and looked around.

"What's the matter?" I asked her still looking at her.

"Uh...I... Don't know... I'll tell you after you tell me what you were gonna say," She told me.

"You sure?" I asked. She nodded and I started. "So. The only way we can guarantee our survival is what?" I asked her seeing if she would understand.

"If Michael was gone duh," She shrugged then urged me to continue.

"Exactly. So I've made a list of pros and cons and there are way to many cons but the pros are the advantage of safety," I told her. She nodded wanting me to continue. "So only me and you cant take on all twelve of them by ourselves. But if we set up cameras everywhere that can send us live videos of where the rogues are positioned then we can take them out one by one. One each night," I told her. She looked very intrigued by my plan.

"I don't think we'll be allowed to do this though," She said then thought about it "We don't tell them do we?" She asked and I nodded.

"I'm sorry I'm making you lie to Blake all the time. You know what, this was stupid you wont have to do anything. I'll do this," She shook her head and laughed a little.

"I want to do it. I don't care if I lie to him if it means no danger anymore I'll lie about anything," She told me and I nodded.

"Ok. Tomorrow we need to go get the cameras and we can link them to our laptops," I told her.

"And our phones?" She asked.

"Good thinking. Incase we cant get to our laptops in time," I said agreeing.

The next morning we woke up super early and went to check the kitchen. Cade and I haven't spoke once since the fight and I can feel the pain in my chest from it. We planned to make a grocery list to let us go to the store to get the cameras.

We just finished making the list and were heading up to the office right now. When we walked in no one was in there.

"Wow. I thought they'd be up by now," Dannie said as we shut the door again. "Lets split up. You go to Cade's room and i'll go to Blake's," She said.
