Runaway

My alarm bracelet buzzes, which means it's midnight. I turn off the alarm, step out of my capsule, and grab my things. I leave the room, and building, and head into the woods.

When I get far enough into the woods, I turn on my GPS signal to everyone except for Douglas.

I find a tree and decide to put my sleeping bag on it, so I grab my sleeping bag and some rope, climb to a group of branches close together and tie it there. I try to think of where the idea came from, and I remember: in The Hunger Games, a book I read the main character sleeps in a tree. I think the technique works better for me though, since my bionics allow me to climb without having grips. Plus lets me jump pretty high in the air.

I wake up in the sleeping bag, something isn't right. It's been ten days, and there hasn't been any evidence of Adam, Bree, or Chase, until now. I listen closer.

"It doesn't make any sense, her GPS signal says she should be right in this spot, but she's not here." Comes Bree's voice from directly below.

"Chase, scan the area for her, she could be camouflaged here somewhere" Donald, my uncle, who everyone calls "Mr.Davenport" says. This isn't good, and I know Chase is scanning where I am right now.

"There," Chase says, "up in that tree." I get out of my sleeping bag, grab my things, and start to hop from tree to tree.
