Brady & Autumn Dove

"Maybe someone could distract them..."


"No way, you aren't risking yourself for that. But...I could."

"No Brayden," I said and tried to speak more, but I was holding Tara and she was close to losing it. 



"You know you aren't leaving me out of that. Distract them how?"

"I've been assholes like them almost my whole life and I haven't been caught yet. They don't know these woods like I do. I can make a run for it, it can give some of you a chance to get away if possible. If not just hold tight until I get to Kampfer."

"Well that just sounds like too much fun to pass up."

"Are you both out of your minds? What if they shoot you?"

"We've always been out of our minds baby. Besides, if they take us back to Kampfer, you think they're just gonna shoot us?" 

I sighed, feeling more distraught than ever "Alright...you two make a run for it."


"I think you should go with them, Dove. I'll take care of Winter...it'll take more than Brayden and Brady to help us."

"Yeah no way in hell am I leaving you behind. I need my other partner in crime baby," I said and kissed her. "We'll make a run for it and then when we get a chance, we'll come back and get you all."

I went over to Adalee "Do you trust me to come back for you and our kids?"

I nodded, tears in my eyes. "I trust you with everything in me baby." 

"I love you all so much and I know you'll take care of each other in the meantime. Don't fight them, alright? It seems like they're being reasonable."

"I promise we will. Be careful alright? As careful as you ever are anyway. I love you Dad," I said and hugged him and Uncle Brady and Aunt Dove before putting my arms back around Selene.

"I love all of you too, more than anything. Anything I've ever done it's been for the four of you. All of you take care of yourselves and we'll be along soon enough." I nodded to Brayden and Dove "Let's go."

I nodded and we went silently out the back door, making a run for it out towards the woods.
