All of us, now waiting impatiently on edge, sitting in silence on the stairs we wait for Natalia and Charlie to return. Within a few minutes of Finn constantly tapping his knee he abruptly stands up and runs out of the gym, as he burst out urge the door you can hear a faint Natalia! Charlie! Finn comes back inside and stomps back inside.

"They're gone."

"What?" Caleb asks.

"Natalia and Charlie. His car's gone."

"They're probably just sucking face somewhere."Gaten jokes.

"Gross." Caleb scoffs.

"No. No way!" Finn says.

"Did they go with the chief?" Gaten asks, trying to make sense of the situation.

"I don't know."

"No." Millie says quietly.

"What? Did you see them? Do you know where they went?" All eyes currently on Millie.

"Yes."

"Where, where did they go?" After a long wait Millie responds.

"Demogorgon." She coldly states. Sending worry full looks to everyone, everyone but Millie and I stand up.

"Guys, guys! This is crazy. We can't just wait around." Finn states.

"Finn, incase you forgot, we're still fugitives. The bad men are still looking for us." Caleb points out.

"Yeah," Gaten agrees. "and we don't even know where your sister is."

"Millie can find them." Finn says confidently.

"Finn, look at her." Gaten says, all heads turning towards Millie and me as her head is laying on my shoulder.

"I still think we should stick to the chief's plan." Gaten continues.

"Exactly." Caleb starts. "We stay here, keep Millie and Alexis out of sight and keep them safe. That's the most important thing, remember? Besides, she's ok. She's with Charlie."

"Yeah, and she's kind of a badass now, so..." Gaten says and starts waking off.

"Well, where are you going. You just said stick to the plan!" Finn shouts.

"I am. I'm just gonna go get some chocolate pudding. I'm telling you, lunch lady Phyllis hoards that shit."

"Are you serious?" Finn scoffs.

"Millie needs to be recharged!" Gaten says as Caleb walks straight behind him, he seems keen to get some too.

"Mills, I'm going to go get some and bring it back here, ok? You gonna be fine with Finn?"

"Yeah, I'll be fine, love you."

"Love you too." We give each other a warm smile as I jog to go catch up with Gaten and Caleb as we start to walk to the canteen."

"Are you sure she hoards it, cause if it's not there I am gonna be pissed." Caleb says as we walk through the doors to the canteen.

"Trust me. I've seen it, there's loads. You know. Maybe when this is all over and Noah is back Alexis, you and Millie could come to school. You know, and you can officially join the party."

"Yeah, that would be so cool." Caleb agrees.

"You sure? I mean, Millie and I have no where to live or even money to go to school. But I'd love to join the party."

"I can't wait." Gaten says smiling as we walk up to the fridge and Gaten opens the door to reveal around 50 cans of chocolate pudding.

"I knew she was hoarding it. I knew it."

"Yeah." Caleb says as we all grab as many as we can.

"Always lying, saying she's out. Bald-faced liar." Gaten says making me giggle.

"Finn! I found the chocolate pudding!" Gaten yells.

"Ok!" Finn yells back. We all crack open a can of chocolate pudding and dig in.

"Mmmm the last time I had chocolate pudding was 11'" I say without thinking.

"11'? Jeeze I'm sorry." He says changing the whole mood.

"No, no, it's ok. I meant it as a joke."

"It's all good." Gaten smiles. Millie then walks in the room.

"This will charge your battery right up. I'm telling you." Gaten says handing Millie a chocolate pudding.

"Guys! Guys!" Finn screams.

"What is it?" Caleb responds as Finn comes panting around the corner.

"They found us."

a/n oh shit, sorry for a short chapter. the next one is longer and I thought splitting it up would be easier to read. also I like the idea of a whole chapter being dedicated to food. however if I was gonna dedicate a whole chapter to food it would definitely be choc chip cookie dough tbh.
