{we run through debris, hidden as we sneak past guards and isis army men. and we make it through the town} "omg that was so intense" i said. "no kidding.." said willow. "so, now what...?" justice said. "i wonder where we even are" said molly. "well, i know one thing, we haven't left kansas. maybe there's a working train station nearby" patti says, limping. "we should look" says grace. A whistle sounds in the distance. Patti smiles, " I think we found one." We start walking towards the sound.

We make it to the station just as the train pulls up, Patti quickly hands the rest of her money to the guy with the tickets and we hurry on board. "i wonder how far this train will take us" says molly. "yeah." i say, clutching the golden hatchet. " Only one way to find out, we wait until we get to the next train station." Patti says, sitting down.  "but what then after we get to the next station?"  willow questions. " I think I might have a map in my pack." Patti starts digging through her backpack, " Here it is. Okay so, we're in Kansas, and the tracks lead to the west, so we're still heading the right way back to California.". "ok, that's good" i say. charlie mass with approval.

"i look like a freak.........." says justice, looking at a little pocket mirror " Does anyone want to read or hear a story or something? I have the book I wrote." Patti says. "okay" we all say. "i don't think you look like a freak" says molly sitting next to justice. "really?" . "yeah, i think it makes you look cute a little". "hehh.....thanks.." justice says, blushing. Patti snickers and pulls out her book, " A Five Nights At Freddy's Story - How It All Began.  {" What did you guys think of the movie?" I ask as we're walking back to Molly's apartment complex, we had just watched Scott Cawthon's new horror movie Five Nights At Freddy's, we've been waiting for a year for it to come out in 2017." }

{the train drives, and the sky outside the windows turn dark} *yawns* "well, i'm tired.." says christina. "ditto." i say. "we should get sleep" says molly. laying back in the chair. " I'll take first watch." Says Patti. " You always take first watch, are you sure you don't want to rest?" Justice asks. " I'm fine, you guys rest." she replies. "well, ok, night patti" Justice says, laying back and goes to sleep, the bear ears twitching. {in the morning everyone starts to wake up.  "uncomfortable, but, ok" i say. " You guys sleep okay?" Patti asks. "yeah, wasn't the best sleep, but at least we got some" says justice. "you should sleep patti, just to make up for last night" molly says.

" Okay." Patti replies, yawning, then lies down to sleep."i wonder where we are now" says willow. "i don't know, but maybe we should ask the conductor" i say . "alright" says christina. " also check the map." Patti mumbles sleepily. :i go up to the conductor: "hey where is this train located?" the conductor replies. "just entering new york state". "NEW YORK!?!??!?!"i  screech. and runs back. "GUYS!!! WE HAVE A MAJOR PROBLEM!!!!" I screech.  Patti jolts awake, " What! What is it!" she sits up."THIS TRAIN WAS HEADED TO CALIFORNIA!!! WE'RE IN NEW YORK STATE!!!" i screech

" But the compass was pointing to the west!"   "let me see the compass" says justice.  Patti hands him the compass. justice looks at it and opens it up and looks around inside. "this compass is broken, and it looks like it has been broken for a while"  he says  " It must've happened when I fell through that floor, it was in my pocket at the time." "so now what are we going to do!?" says christina. " Don't any of you have a compass?" Patti asks. they all reply. "no.".  Patti sighs and says, " We need to figure this out, does anyone know where we could get another compass?". "no." we all say. "we're gonna die! this train is probably hijacked! and new york is the mother load state of isis!" molly says Dx . " Calm down, first of all, we need to get off the train, and quick." the train jolts, " Right now."

"well what are we waiting for!?" justice says as he gets up :the train comes to a stop and we all run to the exit and jump out, then when everyone is out molly jumps out as well but someone grabs her hair. "AHH! HELP"  DX " MOLLY!" patti screeches and quickly limps after her. justice follows patti over. "LET GO PLEASE!!!" screeches molly holding to the sides of the train door. "Patti try to make the person let go!the train's starting to move!" Patti pulls out her pistol and shoots the guy's leg. the guy lets go of molly and molly jumps out and falls, then justice catches her   " thanks for catching me..." "no..problem".  " Wait!" Patti says, sounding panicked, " I think we should run, that gunfire probably got people's' attention!" "ok" i say, and we all run, ( Well, Patti limped fast rather than run)   "over here!' i screech, lifting up an abandoned cellar and hop in. and everyone else goes in. " I'm probably gonna end up hating cellars, whether or not they save my life." Patti says. "lol" christina and molly says.

{we stay down there for a while} "maybe it's safe to go up" i say. " Shh! I hear something!" Patti whispers. Someone opens the cellar. " We meet once again." Vanessa says. "You!" justice screeches. "OH NO." molly screeches as well. "why did you drug patti with that bullet?!" christina screeches. More people come up behind Vanessa and we back up a little. A man walks up beside her, " Drop your weapons!" he says, Patti's eyes widen, " Dad?"

"wait. what!?" christina says. Then 3 kids walk up next to them. " How could you?" Patti whispers. "we're trapped..." says molly. "we're gonna die!! i was right!!" DX molly says . Suddenly gunshots go off and we dive to the floor. " LET THEM GO!" someone shouts, one of the voices sound familiar. Molly notices it too because then she's screeching, " MOM! MOM I'M DOWN HERE!" Then two people come into view, one is Jill, and the other is a woman I don't recognize, holding Vanessa and her family at gunpoint. Jill's eyes widen, " Molly?"

"MOM!!!" molly screeches again. and runs out of the cellar and hugs her mom. "MOM ! i thought i'd never see you again!". "arent.you supposed to be at the safety camp."
"it wasn't safe there..so we escaped.'
