Preston and Amelia: The Future

He stopped immediately and spun around, looking blindly through the trees searching for her. “Who’s there? I-I-I have a bow, you know. S-stay

“It’s okay, Bee.” Anna wrapped her arms around her brother. They all sat together for a time, but after a while the Ben and Anna wandered up the stairs, and found each other again at the landing.

"I don't have time for this… I should be back at the Camp anyway, it is getting close to Night…" She sighed, her tail lashing slightly as she padded away. Lea padded in the middle of the golden trees, she turned around as if to expect that her sisters were catching up with her, but they weren't. Lea shrugged and continued on, her paws crunching the leaves as they fell slowly to the ground.

"I think we need to go back now." Stella replied, as her her eyes continued to dart from tree to tree.

"Aww, hush Chrisy..." Tyla said. "It's alright." She put her little brother carefully in his playpen and looked over at her dad. Her other younger brother, Eddy, had overheard the conversation and was looking sorrowfully at his dad.

“I’m sure it’s safe,” she said, walking ahead. Isalia hesitantly followed her, her heart beating loudly with fear.

“I did something horrible...” she paused and tears began to roll from her eyes as she continued. “....a few days ago when I told you I couldn’t hang out I was at Aaron’s house....” before she could continue I said, “Did you guys do anything?” She began to cry even harder.

“I told you there was a jump scare!” Sarah shouts while laughing at my reaction.

“Just so you know,” Angela uttered sounding exhausted, “I won’t let you take him. I will never let you kill my son.”

Amelia was sleeping comfortably in her bed. She was tired of all the moving that was done to move into her new home. Her mother told her on more than one occasion that her Dad’s job had him traveling in all kinds of places that would require several days by train, which means days away from the family.

He watched as she moved swiftly, like deer running through a forest. When she reached the edge of the street, she stopped to give him one last glance causing him

Amy who looked worried for her big brother started crying. Josie gave her, her pacifier which seemed to calm her down.

Crystal carefully tending her brother's injuries. "Stop your whining, you know we got no choice. Now look away, this going to sting a little." She pour rubbing alcohol on her brother's chest and John grunt out painfully. "Ugh, god dam that hurts."

‘’I was busy saving innocent people, I thought you'd be impressed.’' Katherine teased, with her cheeky smile still on show. A disapproving tone of voice was something she was used to and even though she could tell that the hunter was a little annoyed at her, the doppleganger couldn't help but find it cute that he cared. ‘’Almost, but theres something you need to see first.’’ Katherine nodded over towards the old barn, she made her way over and looked inside.

The boy was crying. Garth with haste sprints and hops over the rubble of a small village to the boy, reaching out his hand he yells “What happened here- are you all alone?” The boy turns slowly turns around, curiosity hits Garth hard. Garth looking over the boy's head sees a familiar face, Thelma. He does not move, for the young man is frozen in fear and shock. How could this be possible?

The other of the two adventurers runs to Garth, finally getting hit by reality, the forest is the one they entered not to long ago.
