❝  We know the truth of what’s out there, or- or more so what’s inside our childhood utopia. It’s been a secret for- no. That doesn’t sound right. ❞ It had been all that the group had heard for what seemed like nearly forty minutes at this point, Xavier trying to awkwardly recite some semblance of an explanation to as why a group of children would turn up to a group with news of something revolutionary.

Leaves crunched below foot as the kids tread through a densely forested area, the light barely seeping through from the tall canopies overhead in the early hours of the evening. Xavier shrugged his heavy rucksack further up onto his shoulders, craning his neck from side to side in a long stretch. An even longer sigh, and then, ❝ We know the truth of what’s out there, or more so... ❞

It had only been just under twenty four hours since the children made their escape in the night, crawling under the covered chain link fence which had guarded them from the rest of the world for their entire lives. The bad guys would certainly be after them now, and so Xavier had to keep a watchful eye over his brood to make sure no one would be captured by their newly found enemies.

Xavier was wary and ill at ease — if they were captured, what would happen to them then? Would they be killed for treason? Would they be brainwashed back to a state of compliance? He couldn’t let any of these kids go down without a fight — he’d be sure of it — and so they travelled as far away as they could, hoping that someday they could stumble upon a group or settlement willing to hear the truth.

Stepping out into an opening, Xavier slowed to a stop to observe his surroundings. This seemed like the most decent place to settle for the night. Tomorrow they could keep on moving. ❝ How about we set up camp for the night? ❞ Hands resting on his hips, Xavier turned to look at the group with slightly squinted eyes to avoid the sting of sweat from overworking himself.

Finally, he dropped his heavy rucksack onto the ground, detaching the old dusty tent that he’d stolen from the side of his bag before staring at the faded instructions on the front. ❝ Does anyone know how to set up a tent? ❞ He curled his lip before looking up at the group, ❝ Or how to start a fire? ❞

Maybe he should have read up on survival tips before deciding to brave the great unknown.

Each of them had a bag, though Kenny was carrying mainly first aid and medical supplies so Jude carried an extra bag of things for Kenny. He had been listening to Zave's forty-minute reciting of an explanation, Spencer seemed annoyed by it but Jude wasn't allowing him to say anything. So when it was changed to asking about setting up camp, he simply nodded in response.

"Spence and Livvy know how to set up tents" he offered, glancing to the oldest of his little siblings and watch the two just slowly nod. Their dad would take them camping in the backyard to try and have that fun camping trip within the walls of the suburbia. "We're sleeping on the ground?! What if we get bit or something comes and kills us or-" "Kenny, we'll be fine." he assured, resting his hand on his brother's shoulder before looking back to Zave "Didn't our parents have lighters or matches? Did anyone take some?" he asked hopefully because he didn't know otherwise how they'd make fire.

However, Jude preferred to be taking pictures with his camera, he had brought along a book to put the pictures into too so he was excited to get it going. He would help if he was needed but he would definitely prefer to be documenting. "Can we play cards or something?" "Sure Connor, once we set things up I'll play with you, 'kay?" his littlest brother nodded "Okay, guys put your stuff down by me - Spece and Livvy go help with tents, Connor and Kenny you guys can help get sticks for a fire?"

This would work, right? It had to, they couldn't and wouldn't go back.
