In Town

I nodded. "Alright. Well we're all meeting in there right now," I said, nodding at the Mess Hall. "We have quite a few people missing. You wouldn't happen to know anything about that would any of you?" 



"We haven't heard anything, I assure you. I'd be glad to help you find them though."

"I'm sorry, I don't know anything either."

"I'll help too, anything you need."

"Thanks. For now we're just meeting in the Mess Hall, figuring out how to condense everyone into bigger numbers until we find the others, keep a better eye on everyone." 

"That's understandable."

"If you guys are hungry there should be food in there. For now though, just sit tight until we get everyone situated." 



"Thank you. We appreciate it." 

"Thank you. And I'm Sheridan or you can call me Sherri, it's nice to officially meet you."

"Nice to meet you too. This is my brother Brayden. And Chad there is my son. Come on inside, I'll introduce you to my wife and daughter." 

I nodded and we followed him inside the Mess Hall.

I went up to them and kissed Dove, then Winter's cheek. "I'll do the official introductions. Baby this is Sheridan, or Sherri. Sherri this is my wife Dove, and my daughter Winter." 

"It's nice to meet you, Sherri." I smiled. "Sorry, about barging into your house not long ago."


"Oh, nonsense. I told him he deserved it." I told her and then looked to Winter "You must be the girl that has Lane all flustered."

I blushed a little. "It's nice to meet you. Is he... okay? I haven't been able to see him in awhile." 

"He's doing fine, I promise."

"I'm glad. Thank you for telling me." 



"What brings all of you out here?" I asked as Bella came over.



"Oh you brought Emily," I said, smiling when I got over to them. "Can I hold her?" 

"My husband isn't running the camp like he should, he isn't the same since Diego's death. But we can't stay there and deal with him any longer. Especially, myself."

"Of course." I smiled and laid Emily in Bella's arms.

"What happened? What has he done?" 



"She's gotten so big," I said, smiling down at her when she grabbed my finger.

"He's turned into a dictator and has some of his more loyal followers watching others, it's just a mess."


"We came here so you could see Emily, safely. Hopefully, we'll be staying."

I shook my head. "That's terrible. Well you're more than welcome to stay here. Aren't they Brayden." 



"Really? Oh that would be so great." 

"Yeah, sure. I have no problem with that."


"We thought so too."

I went over to Chad and Cody "Cody, you're welcome to stay with us if you want."

"You look tired. Are you hungry or anything?" 



"We're gonna stay in groups until we find everyone. Do you want to stay with us? I'll ask Asher but I'm sure he wouldn't mind." 



"Thanks Mom. I already offered to let her stay with me and Owen though. We'll be fine out in our cabin." 

"Thank you, I'll grab something soon."

"Alright, that will be fine.Thank you, Bella."

"Oh, alright. Are you heading back there now?"

"Just let me know when you want something, I'll show you where everything is." 



"You're welcome," I said and sat down with Emily.



"Unless you need our help with anything here." 

"Thank you, so much."

I think everything is under control, here. Your Father is helping to oversee everything."

"You're welcome," I said as Faye spotted us and hurried over. 



"Sherri! What's going on? Are you okay?" I asked, hugging her gently so I wouldn't wake Gabi.



I nodded. "Alright. I'm gonna go help Cody get settled then." 

"I'm fine, I just had to leave Carlisle. I told you it was coming and it...finally did."


"If you need anything, let us know. I love you." I said and gave him a hug.

"Oh no... Honey what happened?" I asked, sitting down with her.



"I love you too Mom." I kissed her cheek and said bye to Dad and Winter then left with her to the cabin.
