Shiloh felt like just moments ago Judah had been asking to rename the beacon to “The Baconator”. But now with all of them kneeling around the black vest with a carrot stitched in, that felt like centuries ago.
She watched strange man with them, as stood behind them. Josiah looked back at his siblings, “It’s Judahs…”.She didn’t say anything, nobody did. Then they helped each other get off and ran off to try and find Judah.
”where is he?” “JUDAHHH” “quiet they’ll hear us!” Shiloh watched Elijah and Josiah exchanged words with each other.
She hoped they would find Judah so she could get her artifact and get out of here. She winced as Josiah helped her run.

Judah and Rosco ran to there right, “wait…How do you know Shakespeare?” Judah asked Rosco. Then vines reached out yanking them to the wall, they tied their arms to their bodies as their legs hovered above the ground.
Judah and Rosco struggled but the vines got tighter, “It’s okay my family will save us!” Judah exclaimed, but hearing the noise, the vines wrapped around Judahs mouth.
”HmHphm!” Judah tried to make words out but only his grunts came out. It’s okay he thought they’ll find me it’ll be okay.
The he heard Rosco say he smelled three in on shampoo, Micha! He knew he needed to yell out for his brother but the vines over his mouth tightened allowing no noise to make its way out.

Micha had never been so worried in his life, his little brother’s carrot vest…all scratched up. His sister limping from a possibly sprained ankle. Not to mention he had almost forgotten about his girlfriend very close family friend Michelle.
They rounded the corner with the strange man, a scarecrow stared back at them, Micha barely listened as the man explained the strange scarecrow. All he got was “bad blah blah blah can’t move if someone’s looking at it blah blah blah”
They all ran across Elijah had his eyes on the scarecrow they were all waiting on Shiloh to cross. She hobbled over grabbed a necklace. Everyone was yelling at her to hurry.
she got across then it hit them Shiloh was the one stealing the artifacts and brining them back! “Your trying to find mom..” Micha heard the words come from his older brother’s mouth as he spoke to Shiloh, “Shiloh she’s gone”
”You don’t know that!” Their youngest sibling shot back, “she went on a mission and never came back” it came from Elijah’s mouth that time, Micha blocks it out.
Shiloh is lying, Judah is missing, and he can’t tell Michelle he likes her! How long can he keep it together.

Judah and Rosco struggle to get out but the vines continue tightening, any second Judah thought, any second until my family shows up and they save me.
He could only breath through his nose and he couldn’t feel his left arm. Where were they?!
His head started coming up with doubts, what if they forgot about him, or leave him here to die? No! They wouldn’t they would never give up on him. They never have before!
Right?

Shiloh watched the man put Elijah’s hand on the door and she limped after him, she offered him freedom he had pushed her away.
Now she was running from the green monster chased her through the maze. She was almost there she ducked around losing the monster to the vines and seeing the man again. “You don’t have to do that” she offered.
”You knew you needed an innocent person so you took Elijah!” She knew it couldn’t be her as she ran as the man was eaten. She knew she was guilty, she lied, she stole, she had risked her siblings safety.
The portal opened it would only stay open so long, she saw Micha start to sprint away Elijah yanked him back “Come on Micha we have to go!”
“No! We need to find Judah we need to get him!” Micha tried to yank away. “We found his vest Micha, he’s gone” Shiloh saw the tears in their eyes, she felt her own. They didn’t have time to get Judah, they really didn’t.
Elijah dragged Micha through the portal and Shiloh, and the rest of her brothers followed before it closed.
The only one left was Judah.
