"Guys, where are we going?" Izzy yelled clearly out of breath from running and carrying Peter.
"Where can we go?" Luke yelled back, while holding my hand leading me
"Guys, where are we going? Alex asked, She didn't know we were already discussing that
~We're talking through that now Alex.~ Izzy signed
"Can you do it a little faster?" She yelled back
~Be quiet and we will~ Izzy signed
The tornado had died down now, but snow began to fall vigorously.
"Can we stop for a minute?" I asked pleadingly
"I guess we are due for a break" Luke replied "You guys sit here, I'll go stop Alex"
Luke chased after Alex who was still jogging away.And Peter fell asleep in Meghans arms.
"Its getting really cold out here, isnt it?" I asked Izzy who was sitting on the small layer of snow next to me
She clapped once.
It was a system we had worked out a long time ago. Most of the time someone was around to translate for us, but on the very rare chance Izzy and I were left alone we couldnt comunicate. I can't see her signs, and she can't answer me. So we decided 1 clap was yes, and 2 claps was no.
We sat for a moment in silence, then a huge gust of wind hit us. It nearly knocked me down! I laughed at myself, but I heard Izzy gasp.
"Whats wrong?" I asked her
She slapped the ground reapeatedly. That was our signal from Hide and Seek, and Tag that we needed to run. I was confused why she would be doing this now. But I guessed I needed to run when she grabbed my hand and pulled me and Peter with her. We stopped abrubtly, and I felt snow hitting me. But not from the sky, it felt like someone was throwing snow at me.

I dragged Meghan with me to a wall of snow that had just fallen from the sky. I knew it was from Tunay and he just wanted to seperate me and Meghan from Luke and Alex. I started digging at the wall, and snow was flying everywhere.
"Whats going on?" Meghan asked "Who's throwing snow at me? Stop it! Where's Luke? She demanded
She kept asking questions know I couldn't answer them. I clapped repeatedly until she stopped talking. Then I grabbed her hand and covered her mouth. This was an obvious symbol that I wanted her to stop yelling. I heard a faint yell in the distance, it sounded like it came form the other side of this huge wall of snow. I stepped back to try and identify it, but the the snow started glowing red! I was horryfyied at what was going to happen, so I grabbed Meghan and we jumped to the ground. I covered her with my body until I heard Alex talking.
"Are you okay?" Alex asked us
~Just perfect~ I signed back with a sarcastic look on my face ~how did you get through that wall of snow? I asked
"I believe everyone but me forgot that fire comes out of my hands and its can easily melt snow" Luke said looking proud of himself
"Luke. You are a genious" Meghan said
"But I did find something out." Alex stated
~What?~
"We have gone in a full circle. We are right back at the cabins."
"How long have we been out hear, guys?" Meghan asked
"A few days, why?" Alex asked
"Grandma and Grandpa are coming back to pick us up from their family reunion on Monday."
"Today is Sunday" Luke stated "We have to meet them back at the place near the cabins that they dropped us off!"
Peter woke up. "Where are we going?" He asked
Alex knelt down beside him. "We're getting out of the woods and going home"
"To my mommy and dad?" He said with a smile on his face
"Well. ummm... Yes. We'll try and get you there"
We all began walking around the lake, we were back tracking all the stops we had made along the way. when we reached the cabins Alex and I began arguing about whether to go left or right.
"The supplies were right here" She pointed to the spot where we found the pile of supplies "Which mean we need to go that way" She points right.
~But this is where we met Sensei. Which means we came from over there!~ I pointed to the right
"Guys we have one whole day, lets just go to the right, and if its wrong we have time" Meghan stated
We walked past the broken tree, and the pile of left over supplies. Until we saw in the distance Grandma and Grandpas old hatch back car. We all let out a celebratory jump and smile. And Luke explained to Meghan what we saw. But then Alex became very quiet.
"Why so quiet Alex?" Luke asked
"They're a day early" Alex trailed off
