Chapter 1


Ronnie, Loffor, Chance and Hail are... different than the rest. They knew they were different, no doubt about it, something in them made them different. They didn't belong here with their families coming to visit them. They belonged with each other, they were family. Nobody believes them but they are, you can tell just by looking at them, something shows they were meant for something, not here learning at school. 

Hail showed everyone they were meant for something, her eyes, they showed something, they were blue sometimes and then they turned gray, gray as stone. Everybody in Ms. Underwood's class knew that the coldness in Hails eyes linked to Ronnie, Chance and Loffor. Just what was it? 

The school is located in the woods, everybody lives in cabins nearby no moms and dads live there though. They visit sometimes, but everyone knew they were to 'special' to live with them. Because they weren't like everyone else they had weird, weaknesses and strengths, sooner or later Ms. Underwood's class is going to be 'accidently' pushed into Swallow Canyon. So they won't bother anyone anymore, so they are out of mind. Even their parents didn't care, they were too different from anyone to be allowed in regularplaces so why should they stay here on planet Strom? Just send them to the underworld, those weirdos, people would say, that's why they were locked away from the world.

But Ronnie, Loffor, Chance, and Hail were different than everybody else, they were going to escape before they had to go on a 'field trip' to Swallow Canyon. They were going to leave their cabins and run away to their planets biggest storm, Strom's eye. Extremely dangerous storm and road to get there. So why were they going there? It’s because of what's in their eyes, it's adventure, it’s mischief, it's journey, its acceptance, temptation, war, danger. Its… Strom’s eye.


Chapter 2


Chance and Hail collapsed, “Ughh” Chance moaned while wiping sweat from his forehead, he whispered to Hail, “Why do we have to exercise if they’re going to kill us off anyway?” Hail nodded. They climbed up off the benches to see Loffor and Ronnie standing there. They looked funny in comparison to each other one so tall and the other so short, you’d think Ronnie was a disfigured soccer ball. Hail chuckled loudly at the thought, “You better keep running laps you four or else no dinner tonight!” Ms. Underwood practically screamed across the room. 


The four started jogging again, Ronnie thought he might as well slap chance for being such a wimp even for a middle schooler. He thought twice and decided against it, he really wanted dinner tonight, it was a bologna and pickle sandwich, mmm he thought. “You know Chance, the more you do this the more prepared you are for the E-M-T-S-E ( Escape Mission To Strom’s Eye) “True, I actually think that if were going to do so, we should do so in our cabins knowing we have a conjoined one together. Loffor could train us,” Chance said out of breath “Will you?” “I’ve got nothing better to do” Loffor stated.


It was true, about the cabins, they had the only conjoined one. Hail and Loffor stayed in one side, the boys stayed in the other side, only conjoined by the kitchen. They made their own food in the morning and for lunch, for dinner they usually had assemblies so they would go to cafeteria where they would say whatever they wanted say. 

P.E. finally ended, after an hour, so the 4 headed straight for math, “I’m glad they have P.E. right in the morning it wakes the brain up!” Loffor exclaimed. “I still don’t get it, if everybody knows that were gonna die on a field trip why don’t they just throw us overboard while we’re babies so the money can go to businesses and people's paychecks, so my thinking is that people like Ms. Underwood really like to see kids like us suffer, and cry before we all get pushed one by one.” Chance stated glumly “Way to ruin the mood Chance” Ronnie said “Well guys if you think he is right.” Hail said, Chance smiled at her, almost as if saying thanks for backing me up, but there was something else too. “Also, we need to train as hard as we can ok? So if somehow we don’t have an assembly tonight, Loffor and Ronnie, will you make dinner? It must be nutritious,” “Will do Hail, Ronnie will also,” Loffor said “ Waaah? I never-” Chance elbowed him in the stomach, glaring at him. “Will do Hail,” Ronnie mumbled “What will we do Hail? Chance asked “ we will plan an escape route, and after dinner we will exercise ‘till nine then sleep.” Hail answered “One long night it is going to be” Ronnie said.     

Chapter 3

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.
