Chapter 9

--------------------The Next Day-----------------

I only get three hours of sleep that night, with all the panic about Avery. Shes nowhere to be seen and we are all very worried about her.

I sit up in my cot and look around the room. Most everyone is getting ready or is already up.

Eventually I just go down stairs and see that no one has made breakfast yet, no one has done anything yet.

" What's for breakfast?" I ask as I sit down with the rest if the group. Almost everyone looks at me, big eyes full of tears and death glares.

" Alrighty then " I get up and hop my way into the kitchen. Grabbing a bottle of water I look back at the group of kids who just yesterday where happy and healthy. What happened? It looks like they all went into a war zone. Shes out there somewhere! We just have to look.

I take a big swig of my water. I feel the cold rush spread throughout my body. I shake my head. A few tears stroll down my face. Who am I trying to kid? She could never survive out there on her own, even with equipment. I throw the bottle to the floor and smash it with the heel of my boot. Water gushes everywhere making puddles throughout the room, but I don't care.

I decide to just make my own food, everyone is to busy sulking to even care anyway. I grab the only open box of cereal, Cheerios. I hate cheerios. I put the dry food into my mouth but instantly spit it out. " Ya no Im hungry but not that hungry."

" You shouldn't eat those" A small voice says.

" Good morning sweetie " I say to Evan as he gives me a big hug.

" Those are Avery's cereal " He says

" Yes THEY are " I say " She won't mind.

"Evan" Mia calls " Come on Stella is gonna baby sit you while we go get some things"

"Ok! Can we watch Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?" Evan asks

" Race ya there!" Stella yells as they run up the stairs.

" Where we heading?"

" North, into the woods" Mia says

"She couldn't have gotten that far its only been a few hours." I say.

" Thats not what I'm worried about" She says " Lets go."
