School finally ended for Ms. Underwood’s class, “Woohoo!” Ronnie exclaimed “Wait, since Ms. Underwood said… does that mean…?” “Yup! Loffor check what we have, you too Ronnie! LET’S GO PEOPLE!” Hail said excitedly, she was ready to plan because she was sick of this place. The 4 ran to their cabin and with Loffor in the lead she opened the door for Chance and Hail. When Ronnie got to their front steps Loffor slammed the door on him and walked away into the kitchen “Thanks Loffor, your so polite.” Ronnie said sarcastically “Welcome,” Loffor shouted from the kitchen, meaning it. Chance and Hail walked into the start of the boys room which they called the ‘dining room’ because it is big enough for a small table where 4 plates or bowls and 4 cups could sit upon, barely. Hail and Chance continued walking into the room to sit on Chance’s bed and plan. Loffor and Ronnie however were in the kitchen and the door to the boys bedroom was closed so they went to talking. “I’m quite positive that Chance has a crush on Hail” Loffor said “You think? That boy has been smiling at her any chance he can get!” Ronnie exclaimed “ I know right? It’s kind of weird actually, it’s just that Hail is a person that thinks she doesn’t have time for anything particular. You know what I’m talking about, right?” “Yeah, poor Hail, at least fun is on her list of stuff that she has time to do!” Ronnie said, then changed the subject, “This morning I got up early and went to see what I could get at the school market and they had fresh cuts of elk! I thought about me acing our class called ‘Surviving in the woods’ and I remembered that If you hunted down an elk, your meat is fat free! and I know that tastes good.” “Good thinking Ronnie! Getting us some Elk cuts was a great idea! Although I’m sorry that there was no assembly tonight I know you really wanted that sandwich.” “It’s fine, and plus this is so much better for you!” Chance and Hail were sitting on the bed, “ I think it would be better to leave early in the morning taking whatever we can from the pantries of our kitchen, in Loffor’s backpack because she is strong and she moves fast so that might slow her down to our pace.” “That’s good, we also need blankets though, do we have any big ones? Dang, well probably need a pot to, probably a pan also, do we have matches? Are there any first aid kits in the house? What if we can’t fit everything? Oh god-” “Calm down Hail, It’s fine” Chance said trying to calm things down. “But what if It’s not Chance? What if we get hurt what will we do?” With as calming of an aura Chance could create he said “We’ll fix it. We all have our talents, even if none of us has a special skill in being a medic.” Hail toppled over on Chance’s bed, blowing the tangled hair out of her eyes, she then said,”You’re right I’m overreacting, So early in the morning in 3 days we’ll leave through Loffor and I’s window. Then we should go straight until we hit the fence of the ‘Untamed Forest.’ follow to the left a bit and there should be an animal crossing, where we can hop over and then lift Ronnie over.” Chance nodded and then continued the escape plan further, after plopping down on his back next to Hail. “After we get into the Untamed Forest, we march further right, leading farther away from here and other people or civilizations. Then we should find a tree we could sleep under,” Hail stared at him her eyes looked almost scary, the blue was there and then at the bottom the gray came over all bumpy like fog, hiding something. Chance sat up, releasing himself of the odd trance Hail accidently set on him, “Dinner’s ready!” Ronnie shouted from the kitchen in his most girly voice. Ronnie pulled out the table from against the wall and started putting plates and cups down, Chance and Hail went to get pillows for them to sit upon at their little table, and Loffor quickly placed a heap of rice with pieces of elk sitting on top. They all sat down at the table except for Loffor who was questioning everyone if they wanted water or milk. “Everybody should be drinking milk for the next 3 days, it strengthens your bones” Hail said, Loffor then poured the milk into each of the glasses, “We’re going to need this guys, so don’t be mad at Hail.” Chance demanded. Chance and Hail then explained their plan of escape and what they’d bring. Once they finished their favored dish it was 6 30, “Ok everybody wash your dishes! Put the table away! we have 2 ½ hours of exercise to accomplish!” Loffor shouted. “great” Ronnie mumbled, and then the training began.
