Sadie   “How did you manage?” That is what Liam asked me when I got out of the bathroom. I forgot the clothes that Austin has prepared for me. He let me borrow the clothes that are quite big enough for him, mainly from online that he accidentally bought in the wrong size. Liam was the one who volunteered to give them to me. Once I put the clothes on and get out, he suddenly pulled me down the stairs to ask this question. “I wanna know.” “Know what?” “About you and Anya.” I scoffed. “What about us? What’s in the garbage will stay in the garbage.” “Yeah, but what’s the deal? What happened? Tell me honestly.”

Anya   This must be my dream.  I must be sleeping with my eyes open right now. I try to feel things like the Converse on my feet stomping on a familiar road, the leaves on the trees beside the sidewalk, the soft hair of the person beside me. She turned around, a bit tense. “Sorry!” I whisper a squeal. “No no, it’s fine!” She whispered as well. “I was just surprised, that's all.”  I continue to giggle and turn around. Finally a heist! A run-away! Something so exciting to ever happen in my life! I look back, too happy that I sometimes forget that I’m with Sadie. I ran back to join my partner-in-crime, just wrapping my arms on her shoulders and

  Sadie   This must be a dream... Or something. I don’t know. At this point, I am just surprised that my ‘speech’ saved me and Anya and I didn't get beaten up! After that, The maid, aunt Beth as Anya likes to call her, agreed. The guards were still suspicious about it but seeing how Anya was begging for it, they let it go, but they are still onto me. Although the walk to the back of Anya’s home is short, it felt almost like forever because of the guards. They shoot glares down at me, and I'm like a puppy who’s called a bad dog. It’s a shame I called them small when I am literally smaller than them. Anyways, it's still a dream because after Aunt Beth agreed, Anya turned to me and hugged me.&

  Anya   Finally, I’m free Sadie and I are leaning on a hill, both the backpacks down. I’m looking straight at the forest and starting to remember all my memories with my mom, Kade, Aunt Beth, and my sisters. My sisters… “Anya, I know you’re not like them. You’re smart. You may not understand us now but soon you’ll figure it out.” I get it now, what they meant. I caught myself in a cave, but I found myself in a forest to go to--along with someone. I look at Sadie, and I can see her looking at the forest as well, maybe thinking about something like I did. Was she once stuck in a cave as well and escaped through it? Have I helped h

  Anya   Every twigs and rock that I pass by I tend to pick it up. It wasn’t that hard finding them on the ground. Some sticks are long, some thick, and some have a fresh leaf sticking out from the stem connected to it, while some rocks I found are round and some are flat. I only grab ones that I can pocket in Sadie’s shorts while some sticks I found that can’t fit but are needed are on the ground, being kicked around by me. When I think that I have enough sticks and stones, I proceed to go back to our camping ground, which is not that far here. “Hey,” I said when I’m close to the tent. "I found some sticks stones laying around here. It was quite a lot but I think it's best we are sure we got what we need." Then I noticed that Sadie was nowhere to be found. I kick the sticks forward with me and stop when they are right in front of our green
