"There's something we need to tell you. We just don't know how. So, to make you understand, maybe we should start from the end." I say

I open my eyes and quickly sit up. Hope does the same. I look at Hope before looking around at our surroundings. I sense someone behind us so I quickly turn around to see Dr. S and Landon laying behind us. I stand up pulling Hope with me when they come too groaning. "Where the hell are we? What happened?" Landon asked and I turn to look at Hope because I knew I remembered everything. "I don't know. But I don't think we're in Kansas anymore." Dr. S said causing Hope and I to turn and look at them.

"On second thought, we'll just start at the beginning. I knew Landon needed us, and at the time, that's all I needed to know." Hope said

*Three Days Earlier*

Hope and I are quietly sneaking downstairs to get to Dr. S' office to get his keys. I walk in his office grabbing his keys from the drawer that he keeps them in before walking out of his office and start to walk towards the door with Hope beside me. I sense someone behind us but just assume it was the sleeping students so I don't turn around. "Going somewhere?" Dr. S asked making Hope gasp quietly. "Shit." I curse turning to walk towards him with Hope. "Better questions, where the hell do you think you two are going with my keys and without telling me?" Dr. S asked and I go to say something but Hope beats me to it.

"Um, you know, Lia just said some really harsh things to you yesterday, and so we just wanted to get you an oil change as a peace offering." Hope said and I force myself not to face palm. I so could've gotten us out of this if she would've given me the chance. Dr. S scoffs. "At 3 am? Hope, neither you nor Khalia have a drivers license." I smirk slightly knowing I could easily prove him wrong because Uncle Kol forced me to get one the moment I turned 16. "You were gonna commit grand theft auto, which is a felony. You're ditching school right before the midterm exams begin, and Khalia has made it very clear to me that she sees me as an authority figure and nothing more." I roll my eyes. "So tell me, why shouldn't I suspend you both this very second?" Hope and I stare at him before lifting up our arms showing him the glowing bracelets. "And what is that?" Dr. S asked "They're basically supernatural compasses." I say "Well, I hope it's pointing you both to your room cause that's where you both are going." Dr. S said and I step closer to him because I was standing behind Hope a little bit. "We're going after Landon. If both of our bracelets are glowing, it means that he's in trouble." I say glaring at him. "Then we're going, and I'm driving." Dr. S said making me look at Hope and smirk.

"We didn't know it yet, but Landon was in Kansas looking for his mom. He had no idea what he was walking into. None of us did." Hope said

I'm sitting in the backseat of Dr. S' car listening to music looking out the window as we cross the Indiana line. Dr. S has been doing car review for these dumbass midterms and it's starting to make me want to murder him even more than normal. "Indiana. Crossroads of America. What's the capital?" Dr. S asked "We learned that in, like, eighth grade." Hope said "Oh, good, then you should know it." Dr. S said "She didn't say that we absorbed the information." I say "Yeah, well, you two are not saying much of anything. Look, if you can't handle grade school geography... you both are gonna flunk all your exams." Dr. S said "Are Lizzie and Josie studying? Maybe you should focus on them." Hope said "Yeah, well, they're still in Europe with Caroline, thank god. I think that's explains why Khalia is so moody though." Dr. S said and I roll my eyes ignoring his comment about me because he is partly right but I'm never going to admit that to him. I lean up between the seats.
