——Eleanor Lincoln's P.O.V.——
I smiled at Kenneth and Mitchell as I passed by them while I made my way to my car. My neighbors may be loud but at least they aren't jerks. I check my hair in the mirror, making sure my hair is parted over where I had half of it buzzed off. Just to play it safe I put on a dark blue beanie as well, I think it went well with my cream colored sweater and my denim jeans as well as my hiking boots. I turn on my radio and put a Panic At The Disco disk in before I take off. After thirty minutes I make it to my destination and unlock the doors, but the minute I do two people rush into the back and slam the doors.
A man and a woman by the looks of it, their faces are hidden by ski masks before the woman pulls hers down to scream, "Hey, we just met you, and this is crazy, but we just robbed a jewelry store and you were the closest car so freaking drive!" The man had aimed his gun at me meaning that they were serious so with no other choice I stepped on it out of there!

——Veronica Smith's P.O.V.——
(Back track)
Gregory and I bust the doors in yelling, "This is a stick up!" and, "Nobody move!" At once everyone froze, and one woman fainted. We made our way to the counters and started shoving the jewelry into our bags, once we emptied out the first two rows the alarm rang out.

Gregory turned to me and said, "Crap! We gotta go!" We ran out the back to find Jimmy but he wasn't there, I grab my phone out to grab call him but Gregory grabs my hand and drags me over to point at something, making me drop the burner.

I turn to look at him, "What, what is it?" He points over to a woman unlocking her car, her short blonde hair framing her face and neck. She looked vaguely familiar.

"I say we hitch a ride with her!"

"What, no! There is no way in Trealain that we're doing that!"

"Got any better ideas?"

"Fine!"

We rush over and open her doors before slamming them closed, she looks back at us startled as I pull my mask down to shout, "Hey, we just met you, and this is crazy, but we just robbed a jewelry store and you were the closest car so freaking drive!" She looks confused and then scared before stepping on it out of there.

I turn back to Gregory to see he has his gun out, well looks like we now have a hostage, great.

——Gregory Laufey's P.O.V.——
I can see the look Veronica is giving me but there was no way of knowing if this woman would cooperate if we hadn't taken her hostage, but at least she has good taste in music.
"So," a feminine somewhat high voice says, it's the hostage, "Do you have a destination in mind or what? Because it'd probably be weird if I took you to my house, I mean my neighbors Kenneth and Mitchel probably wouldn't mind but they are pretty loud at night and then we can't go to your house because then people would know where you live, speaking of which you should probably take your masks off if you don't want get caught-"

"Just drive us somewhere remote." Veronica said, her voice sounding chilly.

She elbows me and I glare at her before I noticed that her mask was now off, so following suit I did the same.
"Okay, cottage in the woods it is." The woman said again.

"Hey should you guys also like change out of those black sweaters? I mean you're obviously wearing tank tops or t-shirts underneath so it'd be safe just in case we got pulled over or something, I mean ma'am you could take my sweater if I take yours and sir you could just put your sweater in the back, you could even take my beanie if you want just so you don't get spotted easily with that ginger hair of yours." She was pointing out a lot of things, I wonder why.

Veronica must've thought the same because she spoke up, "Why are you trying to help us?"

"Well I thought it was obvious? You guys could kill me at any time and I'm not ready to die yet."

"Alright, well then, hand over the beanie and sweater." I say motioning to her.

Veronica gives me a look and takes off her own sweater as do I. The lady pulls over to the side and swaps sweaters with Veronica as I put on the beanie.
The woman starts driving again, "So, tell us about this cabin in the woods?" Veronica says while casually slipping on a pair of sunglasses that were on the ground to cover her violet eyes.

"It's no where special, just a place I used to hang out with my friends at, now I use it more for when I need a break from life. Oh wow, I should probably call my boss to let him now I won't be in today." She says picking up her phone, interesting.

We drive for three hours straight till we make it to the state Graymoore, a place Veronica and I haven't been back to in ages.

——Eleanor's P.O.V.——
As we ride down the road to my childhood town of Greever, it was named after the founder Adeline Greever, I see the two hostage holders tense up, I wonder why. I drive along the road till I come across the trail to Widow's Park, it's called that because it's said to be haunted by the town founder who hung herself on the hangman's tree after her husband had perished, in fact that very tree is where you mark the entrance to the park, you can always tell because it has the initials of all the people hung there carved into the tree.

As I drive deep into the woods I decide to focus rather on the surrounding then my passengers, as I pass the rock tagged with an arrow through a heart I pull a sharp left into a curtain of leaves that hang down from an upside down Serenity tree that was growing from the roots of a cliff. Heading down the path I come across a sign saying, "Biohazard up head! Do not enter!" In bold red print, something that my friend Gregory and I had made with the help of Veronica back in high school, I wonder what they're up to these days. Their both probably famous, Veronica as an actor on Brovell in Las Dellion and Gregory an inventor probably somewhere in Roedarr, while I'm just where I said I'd be, an elementary school teacher in Denrah.

As I pull to a stop at the cabin I hear a gasp behind me, I see that the man had dropped the gun and the woman was looking at me with wide eyes and says something that makes time stop, "Eleanor?"
