It has been two days since Elsa and her friends had been captured. Brianna and Thomas, they learned, are the two teens names. They are now in the Northern Territory. They are apparently heading to an enemy that wants them bad. The three girls have absolutely no idea why.
   "I'm sorry, guys." Elsa tells them. "It was me who got you two mixed up in this." Lily frowns. "Don't say that, Elsa. I'm glad I met you. Just keep positive." Elsa doesn't reply. Then she realizes that if it was her that got into it, then it's up to her to get them out.
   Slowly, Elsa forms a plan in her mind. She whispers it to Aphrodite and Lily when they stop for the night. At first, they just want to wait for the police. Elsa raises her eyebrow. "Of course! We have to wait for the police to search the entire country for one little car that they don't know what it looks like, and get us out." Aphrodite blushes. "Well, now that you've put it that way,. . ." "Then it's settled. Tomorrow, we make our escape." Brianna walks towards them. They quickly shut up as she glares suspiciously at them. Finally deciding that they weren't doing anything bad, she walks away to set up a tent. Lily turns to Elsa. "What if we don't make it and they kill us for trying?" Elsa smiles. "Then we go to be with God. Quick elevator to Heaven." Thomas motions for them to get in the car. The car is where the prisoners sleep. Once the two teens walked into the tent, they continue their conversation. "Great. I would like that, but I wanted to make it to adulthood first. And I don't know about you, but I'm exhausted. I'll see you in the morning," says Aphrodite. She lies down and is fast asleep in seconds. Lily agrees, but before she squeezes into her small sleeping space, she looks at Elsa sadly. "What you said about Heaven before. . . I believe you. I really do. But I've done some horrible things in my life. I don't think I'll make it to Heaven." "But-" "Don't say anything! I know that you're going to try to talk me out of believing it, but nothing you can say will make me think otherwise. Goodnight." She goes to sleep quickly, leaving Elsa with her thoughts. Hearing her friend talk like that is shocking. Slowly, her expression hardens until it may as well be flint. She turns her eyes to the stars sprinkled in the black sky like diamonds. Silently, she makes a solemn vow.  "With God as my witness, I will not let Satan take my friend. Even if it costs me my life." Little does she know that some watching eyes are planning to take her up on her promise.

   "Exactly what are we doing again?" Eunice asks Mordeci. "We're finding Elsa, as that is what that guy called her, and freeing her." Eunice's eyebrows go right up. "WHAT!? Exactly how do you plan to do that? Check every place, car, and vehicle? She's gonna be, by far, hidden by then!" Mordeci withholds a chuckle. "WHAT'S SO FUNNY?! I'M SERIOUS!" Mordeci chuckles a bit. "You should really see your face right now." "I JUST DON'T WANT TO SPEND THE REST OF MY LIFE SEARCHING THE ENTIRE COUNTRY FOR A GIRL WHO COULD BE ANYWHERE IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY!!!!!" Mordeci laughs. "Fine. I had my fun. We're not looking all over the country for her." Eunice glares at him. "Meanie. Where are we going then?" "I have people who keep an eye out for any suspicious activity that looks like the enemy is on the loose. We found some clues that led us to what must be his lair. We're going to Uluru."
