 **  LINDA'S POV **

I make sure to text him before I leave the map room:

*When do they move on?*

The answer comes in seconds *move them tonight... start tomorrow first thing in the morning...*

*I don't think they're ready*

*Have it your way, two days from now. Exactly*

Fair enough. 

** VAL'S POV **

"Here?" 

"No."

"What about here?"

"No."

"I want to sleep already!"

"Well do you want to sleep somewhere unsafe and die? Or do you want to walk to a safe place and not die even though it means you'll have to walk more?" Kelly asked, rolling her eyes.

"Who's going to kill us? Those two bitches are in the ravine and Parker and Nicole are who knows where and you didn't even tell us why we had to leave and it's nighttime and I want to SLEEP." I said, rubbing my eyes.

"What about we make a deal?"

"I don't think your deals are the best..." Eli says, and Kelly shoots him a warning glare, "Ok.. ok just sayin..." Don't take it... he mouths to me and Kelly rolls her eyes.

"Go ahead." I say, gaining a face-palm from Eli.

"If we find a good--and by good I mean safe-- place to sleep, I will tell you why I told you guys to leave when we were down in the ravine." she gives me funny look and I nod, fighting a laugh, "Fair." 

"What about me? Do I get to vote?" Eli complains.

"Yes, of course!" Kelly says, but I know there's a mocking tone behind the niceness in it.

"Well I vote we sleep and shut up." he smiles and Kelly keeps walking, "Hey! I voted!" he called out.

"I know, but I never said we would take or consider your vote.. but you voted, huh?" she smiled her satisfied smile and I grinned.

"You're too clever..." Eli says.

"Well I never claimed otherwise..." and we walked into the night.

 ** JORDYN'S POV **

After I explained every step of my plan to Chris, I asked, "So.. you think they're dead yet?"  I grinned, this sure had been an awesome day, "Dead like a zombie..." I glanced over at him with a raised eyebrow, a clear sign of disapproval. 

"That was one horrible joke... where's your sense of humor?" I chuckled.

"Along with your inner beauty..." he murmured.

"Excuse you?" I sounded like a rich brat, but I didn't care. 

"I said your beauty is pure..." he faked a smile and I rolled my eyes, "Not--"

I shot him a glare, "Not-- uh-- Not a witch... you're not a witch..." he laughed nervously and I gave him the most annoyed look I could manage to pull off.

Almost two hours later we reached an advanced and very new in technology door-frame that had nothing but a simple wall behind it. No rooms or secret hallways. I smiled. "We're here."

 ** VAL'S POV **

"Can we seriously sleep now?" I ask, rubbing my eyes. She looks around.
