Everyone stares at each other. There is a long period of silence.

"How long were you behind us?" I ask.

"Long enough." She said.

Me and Star look at each other then look back at Luna.

"You can come out now!" Said Luna.

I look up. But before I can see the trees I see a rope. It sweeps up both me and Star and before we know it we are fifty feet in the air.

"I told you this was a bad idea." I mutter to Star.

"Whats a bad idea? I told you she will never think to make a trap for us." She said sarcastically.

I groan. And look at the trees and see Luna's minions (crew) jump out of the trees.

"There has to be a way out of here, do you have anything sharp?" I ask looking through my pockets, I have nothing.

Star, still going through her pockets has a seashell in her pocket that is a little sharp. I take it from her hands and use it to try to cut the rope. It doesn't work.

I look down at Luna, I see that she and her crew members are talking. I try to listen in but its to high up. I can't hear their conversation.

"Do you have any other ideas of how to get down?" I ask, desperately to Star.

"Well... we could always run when they release us from here." She said.

"Its the only plan we've got." I say.
