I rolled out if bed and shook Derek awake.

"dude its six, we gotta keep moving." I stated as he got up.

"alright okay."he rolled out of his bed and we got on our packs, I put out the fire and we started towards the next plots, we got through seven, leaving the last one. The sky was pitch black, not even the stars could tell you where you were going, cold tore at my cheeks and my hands felt like popsicle sticks. Our bodies were barley strong enough to continue through the now waist-deep snow that soaked everything, we trudged further and got to the porch of the last house, the brown wood was stained with the cold wet snow making it darker than it actually was, we headed inside, darkness flowed throughout the building, we used the walls to direct us around the eye-burning darkness that would give you a head. I felt a hole in the wall and went into regretting it immediately. I tumbled down the old wooden stairs finally slamming into a wall.

"dammit." I whispered under my breath.

"hey Derek watch out for-" I couldn't finish my statement before I heard derek tumble down the stairs after me slamming into me he groaned.

"dude you coulda warned ne." which only caused me to roll my eyes in annoyance.

" and you coulda listened now get the hell off me." i demanded as he did, we both got up and used the walls further to lead us to the fuse box. Turning it on lights turned on around the house as though a UFO had landed.

We started our search. The floorboards creaked beneath my footing as I headed up the stairs reaching the top I found myself standing in a house that felt bigger than any of the others, because this house had been the last one and they weren't here.

Something inside of me twisted and squirmed, they were dead. My sister was dead, and I walked for 3 days to get nothing, she wasn't here, and she wasn't alive. I felt as though I couldn't breathe, I couldn't move, I collapsed to my knees unable to believe the truth. The floor beneath me made a thud and Derek raced up the stairs, likely curious to where the sound came from. Spotting me he knew exactly what it was and he fell beside me, our sisters were gone. Suddenly a rapid banging came from downstairs, we looked at each other wiping our tears, getting up we pelted down the stairs to the front door, we opened it to a man about or age, he had jet black hair that hung at every direction, he was tall, and had ocean blue eyes that made you question if they were even real, or were just contacts, blood stained his forehead and some of his clothing.

"Are you from Oak Valley?" He asked trying to catch his breath.

"Yeah, why do you ask?" I questioned. Relief drown out his features.

"Becca Cooper and Alex Goodwell are alive, but I'm not sure for how much longer." He said when my heart did a messed-up dance inside of me Becca was alive, but she could die soon.
"Where, are they?" Derek demanded.
"They're with these people, but they need our help." He pleaded.
"Get in, get warm and we'll get ready we're heading out in five." I instructed as he did so, Derek threw him an extra jacket and some jerky, we all got ready and left the house following the guy through the woods.
"What's your name pal?" I asked, he didn't turn around and he just continued walking.
"Michael Woods, what about you guys?" he questioned.
"I'm Brad Cooper, and he's Derek Goodwell." I stated and this time he instantly turned to look at us, stopping in his tracks.
"Wait as in Becca Cooper, and Alex Goodwell?" He asked stunned.
"They're our sisters." Derek admitted. Michael's face dropped as he looked at us.
"Oh my god, I'm so sorry, its okay though, we will get them, I owe my life to one of them." He announced.
"What happened?" Derek questioned intrigued.

" They had me in this cage, I overheard this creep going off about how his sister was coming to skin me alive and they were going to eat me in their Pa's famous stew. Next thing I knew some girl was in my cage cleaning my wound, I grabbed her thinking she was going to kill me, but she let me go, I guess she wasn't their sister, I owe my life to her, she saved me so I have to get her out of there." He stated, and my stomach fell, the thought My sister was kidnapped by cannibals.
