Hellooooo I'm backkk!! With Taylor's pov! I MISSED YOU HELLO HELOOO

________

Fifteen minutes - that was how long took Taylor and Ben find Ashlyn and Aiden. Good timing, considering that their group had started the scavenger hunt twenty minutes apart.

Taylor was grateful to herself for coming up with the brilliant idea of switching groups with Ashlyn. She agreed with no hesitation - such a good friend - so Taylor could join Ben in the second group. She felt way safer than with Aiden.

Now they sat on the ground, quietly watching Aiden and Ashlyn chattering about ninety feet away.  Or more precisely - Taylor watched - while Ben rested, leaning against a tree.

"They're so sweet" Taylor chuckled, and Ben sighed.

"I know, Tay." He whispered. He always had whispered, but it didn't bother her. She was just happy he spoke to her. "But seriously, we should go to the-"

"Heck no!" she hissed. "We won't interrupt them."

"We're not interrupting them since ten minutes ago!"

"But look at them! They're so cute."

"You're cuter."

Taylor turned to him in surprise, just as a phantom attacked him from behind.

She screamed when sharp claws dug into Ben's calf and immediately stood up. 

"Get out of my guy, you motherfucker!" she yelled, smashing the creature with her fist. Phantom fell to the ground and a second later Taylor's bovver boot met it's face, followed by Aiden's knife. 

The girl kicked the dead phantom to the side and crouched down next to Ben. 

"You're hurt!"

He winced and nodded. 

"Lemme see", Aiden kneeled and took a piece of bandage from his pocket. "Dang, it's deep. We should go before you lose blood. If we hurry, it'll take like half an hour.

Ben shook his head and signed "boys".

"Do you feel up to waiting?" Taylor frowned, worried. "We don't know how long it will take."

Ben nodded.

"Guys?" they heard Ashlyn's voice. "Did something happen? Are you alright?"

"Almost!" Aiden shouted back and turned back to Taylor and Ben. "Wait here. I'll bring Ash."

"What's with her?" Taylor stood up. "Is she hurt too?"

"She's not hurt, just... well, blind. But she'll get over it."

He smiled and Taylor wasn't sure what to think about him.

"Okayyy... If you want, you can wait and I'll bring her here."

"Do you doubt my skills?" he laughed. "Don't worry, I'll take care."

"Yeah, I believe" she sighed. But she had to admit Aiden was extremely gently with Ashlyn.

It took a few minutes, but they were finally back. After Ashlyn's "I'm sorry, I should be a better leader" and others "it's fine, not your fault", they sat in silence on a ground and waited for Tyler and Logan - Aiden could help Ashlyn with walking, but Ben needed at least two people to help.

"Why do we have to sit here?" Aiden asked after fifteen minutes.

"Because we have two people who can't walk by themselves." Taylor enlightened him.

"I know."

"So why do you ask?"

"Cause I'm bored."

"I'm sorry" Ashlyn chimed in.

"Not your fault" Taylor and Aiden said at the same time.

"You can't take responsibility for everything, you know?" Aiden added.

"But still..."

"Shut up Ash."

"You can't scold a blind."

"You say I can't?" he grinned.

"It's immoral."

"You're not blind tho."

"Too late, you're screwed."

"I'm not afraid of you."

"No? Don't you remember who are my parents?

"But right now I'm safe, cause you're blind."

"Decide, you pregnant woman."

"What the heck", Taylor was shaking with laughter.

"If I'm a pregnant woman, you're my dad."

Ashlyn snorted.

"Don't shit yourself."

"Yo momma."

"You two are ridiculous" Taylor announced.

"You're too kind." Aiden lowered his eyes modestly.

Ashlyn tried to hide her smile.

"You're not kind at all. You scold a blind, inno-"

"LOOK", Aiden interrupted her and pointed towards the trees. "They're coming." 

Taylor followed his sight and her eyes landed on two boys approaching them. 

"Wait, what the..."

"What's wrong?" Ashlyn asked. "Is that Logan and Tyler? Are they hurt?"  

"No." Taylor stifled a giggle. "They're holding hands. " 

"GUYS, WE'RE HERE!" Aiden called and Tyler immediately let go of Logan's hand. 

"Aiden, you idiot!" Taylor whispered. "you ruined the fun!" 

"Sowwy" he smiled cutely. "but wait, let's see what they'll do if I ask them about it." 

Ashlyn rolled her eyes in amusement as she listened to the quiet giggle of her friends.  

"Hey", Tyler approached them, leaving Logan behind. "Were you waiting for us?" 

"No, we're just sitting here for fun, halfwit." Aiden grinned. "By the way, I saw you were holding hands with Logan. Are you a little girl or something?" 

"What?" Tyler tried to pretend he was innocent. 

"We saw it!" 

Taylor nodded, doing her best not to laugh. 

"Why were you holding hands? Hm?"

"Logan was scared." Tyler said quickly, and Logan, who stood behind him, frowned. 

"Excuse me. I thought it was you who got scared?" he asked seriously. "That's why you asked me to hold your hand, right?" 

"I asked cause you looked scared!" Tyler turned red.

Taylor exchanged glances with Ben, struggling to keep the poker face, meanwhile Aiden began to cough. Ashlyn smacked her forehead. 

"What happened to you, Ben?" Tyler found a chance to change the topic. "Was it a phantom?" 

Ben nodded gloomily. 

"Since you're here, we can move on." Ashlyn reminded and got up. "Aiden, can you help me?" 

"And what happened to you again?" Tyler groaned. "Two injured people?!" 

"That's why we had to wait for your lazy ass" she snaped. "Now move and help Ben." 

"Fine, calm down, Carrot Top." 

He and Taylor pulled Ben to his feet. 

"Let's go this way," Logan suggested, pointing in the opposite direction from where they came. "We're close to camp now, it should take about ten minutes to get there." 

"How do you know?" Taylor asked and Logan smiled.  

"I have a compass in my head."
