Runaway

Cleo's POV

We all look to see what he's stairing at; a big bear.

"Cleo says moron needs to stop being a scardy cat." I walked up to the bear, and pet it. It looks at me, snarling at first, but then it calms down, and purrs, plopping its but on the ground playful. "See, its a friendly bear, it won't hurt the moron." the others looked at me, as Riza, who was still weak from energy loss fell unconscious again. It would take a while for her to get back to normal.

"So, you know we can't keep it, right? The bear isn't a pet" Alagretto told me, lifting Riza off the snow covered ground.

"Cleo doesn't wanna keep it. Cleo wants it to go back to the bears family."

I hugged the bear before we all continued walking on, finally making it to the airport.

Alagretto's POV

Going through airport traffic is hard, but while carrying someone who has multiple passports, and not conscious is another story.

"Aly, can you find the right passport for Riza?" I asked, tossing her the bundle of passports that Riza carried, "could you also get a flight to somewhere that's leaving right now? I hate to ask this much of you,"

"sure, anything to get us outta this place" He voice seemed clouded with indecision. She runs off, leaving Cleo, and the rest of us guys together.

"Cleo wants to leave. Cleo doesn't like it here. Cleo wants Riza to drive the plane."

"Riza isn't awake, so how can Riza drive a plane?" Damien says, getting in her way.

"I got a nonstop flight to Alaska. It should take us outta here, but it leaves in five minutes, sonwe have to run." Aly says, as we take off following her, barely making it.

Hours later

We land saftly, and are finally free of whatever is after us. It feels nice to know we can relax, and discuss what the next step could be, without finding it out as we're running from it.

We walk into a hotel, and Riza wakes up momentarily, speaking, with a soothing mellow, groggy tone, "Where are we, and how did we-"

"Alaska, plane" Aly says, as Riza jumps down from my arms. She isn't guaranteed to be conscious for long, but was going to try.

As we walk to the check in desk, Dimitri stops, and freezes, dead like a statue.

"What?" Aly asks, before seeing what we all saw; his parents.

They headed right twords us, noticing their son, calling out, "Dimitri?!" as Riza mudders some swears, and about how they weren't after us, because the AOU disintegrates if they set even one toe in Alaska.

"Hi" Dimitri replies, putting on a scared look, like he was about to cry.
