Tick tock, tick tock. Seconds ticked by and we were not even close to being ready.

Drop Drop Drop was the weight falling on me.

Squeak Squeak Squeak Squeak was the sound of scurrying feet.

I glanced back at the clock scared of what it might say.

"Time to go" my voice cracked.

I knew that we were no where near ready but I wouldn't have another chance.

We left the house and on the way into the woods we heard Lance.

Knock Knock Knock. "Come on guys I forgot my keys"

"Should we go help him?" Mason asks

"We can't go back now" I said meaning it.

If we went back that meant we would never actually go through with it and I need to. I'm a mother and my child is in danger from my own mother.

"Come on" Mason complained

Knock Knock Knock

"If you want to go back then go, but don't come back"

"You know I want to be here"

Knock Knock Knock

"What is it going to be Mason?"

"Maybe we can leave a key for him?"

"Mason!"

"Fine fine, I'm in"

"Are you 100% sure?"

"Guys come on let me in. This isn't funny anymore" Lance said

"Emma!"

"What?"

"Yes I'm 90% sure"

"Then you can stay here"

"Emma chill down"

"I want to get my sister and unless you are 100% sure then you can stay here"

"Emma I'm not even 100% sure" Tyler pipes in

"I knew I should have gone by myself"

"Emma just take a deep breath. Everything is going to work out, ok"

"Ok" Emma huffed.

"So which way Emma?"

"The opposite way you guys chased me last time"

"Are you kidding me" Tyler wines.

"Nope"
