 Brynn wakes me, I guess I dozed off. It's freezing cold out here, we shouldn't be sleeping on the ground. "Can you keep watch for awhile, I'm sleepy," Brynn whispers. "Yeah sure," I yawn.

I sit upright and Brynn lays down on my lap, it's warmer with her on me. The wind blows through the trees, it's a quiet night. I would say too quiet, but I've never been in the woods at night.

Crunch, a twig snaps in the woods. "What was that?" Brynn whispers. I don't want to worry Brynn, but it scared me too. "Probably just a rabbit," I whisper back. Brynn soon falls asleep in my lap, I doze off by mistake.

I awake to chaos. "ALEX!" Teagan screams. "Holy shit what happened?" Travis worries. Teagan starts sobbing, and Alex is nowhere to be found. "Th- The T-Tringers took her," Teagan stutters. Rylee holds Teagan, Teagan's sobbing.

"Did they kill her?" Brynn questions. Teagan shakes her head in response. That means that Alex is alive, that means that I can contact her.

"Alex" I call silently. "CANNON HELP!" Alex echos back. "Where are you Boss?" I ask. "The Underground," Alex echos. I can't reach her mind anymore, she's too far away.

I snap my head around to Teagan. "She's Underground," I report. "We must wait for backup, they'll keep her alive because they want us to come," Travis states. Teagans face turns bright red. "We can't wait, she's just a kid," Teagan snaps.

Rylee touches Teagans arm. "I can get in, I promise not to be seen," Rylee speaks. "No you're not going," Teagan hisses. "I am our best option, I'm Alex's only option," Rylee responds. Rylee kisses Teagan. "I love you Teagan," Rylee whispers. "I love you Rylee," Teagan cried.

Rylee stand up and vanishes, just like that she's gone.
