°••••○••••°••••○••••°

Ceaser and his son Blue Eye's took turns in making sure the human child didn't wander off again for two days in a row. Both held different shift times; Ceaser in day time and Blue Eyes at night. Swapping has occurred, but not much were said nor needed.

'Blue Eyes, my son, how was it?' Ceaser, food in hand for his son, signs before he sat down.

Blue Eyes points at your sleeping form. Your sketch book and stuff animal in your tiny arms. Asleep under the blanket of many leafes.

'Wishes to leave. Asked the nurse to leave as well. They do not wish to stay.' Blue Eyes signs, enjoying his charred fish, just to sign more after stuffing his face 'Can't communicate good like you do. Did my best to tire the human child out. This is the result.'

The leader nods his head. Taking in all the information from his son. Allowing him to stuff his face as Ceaser thought about the reason of the child wanting to leave so bad. Family was gone, was this human child afraid of them? No. You would have reacted differently...

Hooting was what made both males, son and father, turn towards the new member coming in. Turns out is was Buck. The one from four days ago. In his hand was an item.

'Buck? Why are you here, old friend?'

Buck signs with one hand 'To repay the human who shared food with me.' His gift was sack of marbles, human made ones, to sign further after 'Roam for idea. Found on my way back, no one nor human harmed.'

Ceaser played with those back when he was younger. In the care of Will and his grandpa too. Memory's flood his mind, good ones, as his son lack any knowledge of this little gift. Blue Eyes was more unsure about it because he lacked the memories of his father childhood. The two were by blood but different by age and generation.

'When did nurse say they can walk again?'

'In a few more days. Maybe less.' Blue Eyes signs as Buck set the marbles into your bag of belongs, just to sign more 'Human wishes to leave. Tried many times but failed.'

'Do you know why Buck?'

Buck shook his head. He, too, sat down and remained in the room. The sun is not fully up yet. All they see is darkness and shadows of sign language.

Ceaser sighs. He stood up, took a second to think of any reason of your need to leave, before turning his attention to his laboring wife.

Small hooting was sent towards Ceaser, turning around to find his son signing away 'Tell mother I'm next door. If she needs someone or something, I will retrieve it!'

Ceaser smiles 'I will.' before he walks his way into Cornelia's room.

The two remaining stayed silent. Blue Eyes staying up all night, eyes closing for how heavy they are, only to leave Buck to stand in his place. Allowing the young heir to their future to sleep. Now, Buck was now watching over the human who keeps on escaping without any issues.

All was fine till he too closed his eyes. And when they awoke by a panicking Blue Eye's and a baffled Ceaser. His eyes avert to the empty bed.

The human child was gone.

Again.

They fixed their wall but seem to forgotten the spot that you keep slipping through to escape.

It's been five hours. Walking with a slight limp down a rocky hiking trail path. Seeing this you knew it meant either to a national park or perhaps closer to civilization. Whatever or whom was still there.

Your stuff animal kept your hands warm as the air felt rather cold today. Meaning winter was around the corner. You had nothing to wear or survive throughout that time. This will be your chance to go grab what would keep you afloat. Maybe find a wagon to haul everything to wherever you plan to stay. Hopefully a nice house. With people or not. Anything to survive.

The trail indeed leads the small child to a national park, old rusted playground seen in the distance, as a red oak sign old by age and covered with vines with red and blue flowers says the name of this park; Red Oak Trails.

Passing it, for a few more steps in, stopped once you spot a fox poke it's head out from behind the trash can faded by age. It spots you yet sense no harm. So, step by step, it turns out it was a mama fox with her fox pups. Three of them following her to the opposite side of where you stood. A good distance away.

You dearly want to draw and sketch the fox family into your sketch book. Yet, knowing it takes up time, always seem to bring in unwanted trouble or be found by apes too soon.

So this opportunity was tossed aside. The small water bender child walking faster into the direction of what used to be a thriving city. To get there, you need to hike up many slopes and long roads. Once done got to cross the plant infested bridge. Run down cars and trucks still there. Rotting away from inside and out.

The hiking wasn't an issue once you found another electric scooter that works. Hoping on it just to overcome miles of walking. Sadly, the batteries dies the moment the entrance to the big red bridge was in sight. It would of have been nice if it could took you further...

"..Wooaah..."

The sea below and in the horizon was the most coolest and bluest thing you have seen for some time. You would have leaned in but chose not to for the rail might break under your small weight. It was pretty. Maybe when your in the city, you should find a camera that works and take pictures with it? Yeah. Nice memories can be made with it.

It was a good thing you didn't zoom out on that scooter over this bridge. Walking around you spot several large holes that could have sent you to into a coma or possibly death. So walking will be the better idea..

Once off the bridge, officially in the city, walk like limp to where you would like to go. Your gonna need some sort of vehicle with wheels to carry what you need. Your bag can't hold everything. Just a little.

°•○•°Two and a half hours later°•○•°

"How do I keep finding so many electric bicycles? I must be lucky.."

Your wagon, yes a mini wagon, held three blankets, pillow, overly large hoodie, boots, gloves, and fluffy ear muffs. Not many places had what you needed so this is something. Sadly, no camera was found.

Hoping onto the bicycle, looking around for where to go, chose a random direction in order to find a place worth staying in.

And yeah, most of them held a family and strangers of opposite or same sex in it. None you found just for you to hide away in.

That was till you went into from the inner city life to the urban area closer to red oak forest, across the river too, just to drive up to a cabin. Old and seems to be abandoned by life.

It was perfect.

Grabbing everything, one by one, take everything inside. Setting it all on the one single loft chair in there. It had a little chimney too. Which means warmth if it gets too cold out.

"Oh..." You spy no logs, just bushes and everything green, slipping on your shoes again "Okay! Fire wood here I come!"

Your backpack held your stuff animal as you rode the electric bicycle, wagon attached, to find what would be good enough for a decent fire.

So far, you had everything under control.

Peachy.

Yet, like several times before, instantly run into trouble along the way. That trouble was humans. Ones who will take whatever you have to survive.
