Ells' POV
"What's wrong with you guys?" Dimitry asked confusingly, as he looked down at us.

Hunter and Astrid looked like they wanted to be Simon right now, and Violet looked like she wanted to punch some sense into Dimitry's face, which was probably accurate.

"The question is, what's wrong with you? We are laying down on the ground, sweating like crazy from the many many miles we have trudged, and you're not even bothered by it one bit!" I said, finally taking a breath. Phew, that was a mouthful to spit out all at once.

"Wait, we've been walking for that long? I didn't even realize it!" Dimitry asked, smiling proudly.

Now we all wanted to punch the sense into Dimitry's face.

"Of course. You know, we have been walking for 5 hours, 23 minutes, and 10 seconds." Simon said, blankly.

That's when my ears started to listen to where I was at. The sounds of nature were all around us. Orange leaves fell off of the trees, landing into the pale blue lake of water, bouncing like a boat on the ocean. The freshly grown wheat blew in the light autumn breeze.

But, there was another sound in all of this nature. The sound of people talking, and playing.

I sat up and listened more closely, to make sure I wasn't crazy. And, sure enough, the sounds were still there.

So, I finally sat up, and walk a little ways ahead, and saw something that made my eyes widen.

"Oh my gosh. Guys! Look! A village! An actual, old looking, kinda village!" I said, as they looked at the town, their faces completely changing from I wanna punch Dimitry in the face to I wanna punch you in the face.

"This village looks a little rundown, Ells..." Violet said, as everybody (but me) agreed.

"I can't seem to spot any cell phone service anywhere nearby..." Simon says, as we all give him a look.

"You can spot call phone service?"

"I can also be a cell phone hotspot, if I choose to be..." He said, his eyes glowing a little bit as he said that.

"Lucky..." I mumbled, as we made our way into the village.

The village was very different then Sector 14, but yet, there was a good vibe coming from it that I don't normally feel before. It was like the village was calling me in.

"Excuse me?"

Somebody tapped on Astrid's shoulder, as he turned around to see one of the people who lived in the village.

"Yes? What is it?" Astrid asked him politely.

"Do you guys happen to be travelers?" He asked. This guy was probably a lumberjack or something. He had muscles like the people who work at the gyms.

"Um, yes, we are. Is there something I can help you with?" Astrid asked, as the wind blew a light breeze in his hair.

"Well, actually, we do need some help. Come, this way. Oh, and give your maids the cloaks. This will need a lot of strength from strong men like us. Har har har!" He said laughing a laugh straight from his gut.

Oh, this sounds great.
