" Do you hear me? get out of the forest right now, I repeat, all of you right now, over and out!", Oliver commanded his other men over the radio.

Amelia and Kevin heard Oliver's voice and got startled. They looked at each other for a moment but then they widened their eyes.
" If they have to head out of the forest-", said Kevin.
" We need to hide", interrupted Amelia.
" What? No, yeah but first we need to hide the bodies of those who we just ambushed "
" Hide them where no one can find them!", Amelia said with a smirk on her face.
...
Amelia opened the trunk of Mr. Lewis's car, " see it's open, dad always forgets to lock it".
" No wonder why he lost his 3 cars", said Kevin, then both of them held one body and laid it inside the car trunk.
" Do you think, they could both fit in".
" Do you think we are creating a comfy place for them... no! just overlap one on another if they didn't fit together ".
" Heartless"
Amelia chuckled but eventually stopped when she heard sounds of leaves being crushed under someone's feet. Without turning to look at the source of the voice she tapped Kevin and slide under the car. Kevin on the other hand was confused but then saw a man coming out of the woods, so he bent a little and started crawling over the left side of the car trying to hide. His forehead was sweating badly, Amelia could see his hands and legs crawling around the car as the man passes but her breath hitched when Kevin stopped as he found some red boots blocking his way, he slowly raised his head and found a man with his laser gun, the men pointed his gun at Kevin, " Hands up !".
Amelia saw Kevin getting startled and Immediately raising his hand which was supporting him on the ground and then he fell on the ground and got his chin collided with the ground, she wanted to laugh at his behavior but she didn't as she knew what problem she would cause.
" Are you alright ?", Oliver's man asked.
" Y- yeah!", Kevin hesitated not expecting concerns from the men.
" It's late, I mean almost sunset, what are you doing here?", the men asked.
The way he asked seemed like he didn't know Kevin's relationship with Hannah, " I-I was here b-ecause ...".
" Because?"
" Because I was sent here as a punishment", he said in a panic.
" For what?".
" By the chief, I mean, I didn't show up on time for something really important so he just commanded me to run in the forest until I reach the restricted area".
" Alright, then what was the point of hiding?"
" I-uh, I thought that maybe he sent someone to spy over me and to find out that I wasn't running".
After listening to Kevin's information he left there.
Amelia stayed there, observing her views and feeling what she was hearing trying to ensure her safety, she waited long enough and then heard her brother calling her out, she rubbed her back body on the ground to slide out of the car, and then they moved into the woods again.

" Where are you taking us?", asked Mr. Lewis, grabbing the shoulder of the front seat while looking at Oliver whose back was facing him.
" To the COD", he replied simply without looking at Mr. Lewis.
" Why!", both the couple asked furiously.
" Because I want to tell you something... it's about Hannah! now please stop with your questions", He said Loudly yet patiently.
Mr. Lewis and Mrs. Lewis both stared into each other's eyes worriedly and kept silent for the rest of the ride.

Mariah was walking on that rough surface and the surrounding was quite suddenly she felt a hand grabbing hers due to which she flinched.
" Oh drama queen it's just me", said Zoe while looking at Mariah.
" I thought it was a witch".
" A witch?".
" Haven't you heard before...", Mariah said while looking around, while Zoe's grip on her hand got stronger than before, "... this forest is haunted".
" I don't believe that ".
" Then leave my hand", Mariah said smirking.
Zoe looked at her furiously, " I won't, to make it clear to you, I held on to your hand to make sure we don't get lost since the sun has already sat, and it might rain today
" How can you be so sure ?".
" My intuitions ".
They walked more but it was getting darker and they were getting more scared, to lessen the creepiness they took out the torch and turned it on, They suddenly heard footsteps, they looked at each other and whispered " witch!" and eventually started brisk walking, they felt the footsteps increasing their speed and to that they immediately widened their eyes and now were almost running, suddenly they heard a loud sound of something falling from the sky so they eventually stopped
and moved their torch in direction of the voice they heard.
" Kevin?... Amelia!", they said loudly while they were shocked.
It seemed like they fell from a cliff in dark and now were barely able to even stand up. Mariah eventually went up to them to offer help but Zoe heard those footsteps lightly reaching her from backward so she moved her torch around until it lightened up on a figure and immediately screamed then she stopped to take a look and it was an old man who had a shovel in his right hand and left hand covering his face from the light of Zoe's torch which was attacking his eyes heavily.
" Who are you?"
"An f-farmer ", he said in a way that made her doubt him.
" Why were you-", she got cut off in her investigation when she heard Mariah, " Help me, Zoe, they are too strong to be lifted by me ", said Mariah while trying to lift Amelia who was groaning on the ground.
