_ jolted up from her seat.

"Elizabeta what just happened?!"

"What do you mean we've been on this boat for hours aren't you excited about the dance on the first night of our field trip?"

"Yea it will be fun i guess" _ said *But you already asked me this! We already went… what is going on?!*

""You know I don't enjoy going to dances." Elizabeta rolled her eyes.

"Is this because no one has asked you yet?"

"No I just don't want to go." Elizabeta nodded knowing she wouldn't be changing _'s mind and started thinking about who was going to ask her, _ continued to look out the window. *Why doesn't she remember we were almost safe and

then that bubble surrounded us? did it send us back in time, did Gilbert do this?* the boat finally boarded _ stood up and looked for Gilbert, with no sign of him. Elizabeta was already off the boat and talking to some of her friends, she waved to _.

"_ lets go get ready for the dance." she rolled her eyes as Elizabeta grabbed her had and ran into the hotel. *where is Gilbert?*

"Elizabeta I've gotta pee, I'll get the key from the front desk meet you up in our room ok?"

"Ok see you soon." Elizabeta quickly turned and ran with the rest of the girls to their rooms, *tap tap* _ quickly turned it was Gilbert.

"I've been looking all over for you _!"

"do you know what's going on?"

"No how did we get back to yesterday."

"That's what I want to know, everyone else doesn't seem to remember, but I don't know why they don't."

"I guess our powers protected us."

"I thought you did it."

"No, I think it was him..." _'s eyes widened.

"You mean the crazy killer bus driver!" _ said in a harsh hushed tone, he nodded "We've gotta get out of here before it starts."

"What about the dance and Elizabeta and Roderich..."

"We go to the dance act like everything's normal, you have to tell Elizabeta some kind of excuse and I'll tell Roderich the same we leave and hopefully they make it out alive."

"hopefully! We have to help them." he looked down

"There is no guarantee that we can save them too."

"I'm not leaving without them."

"If all four of us go missing before everything goes down the teachers will become suspicious" _ was trying to hold back the tears, Gilbert pulled her close.

"It's going to be ok." He whispered in her ear.

"What am I supposed to tell Elizabeta?"

"Just tell her you have a date with the awesome Gilbert and your going to skip the entire bus ride tomorrow." _ took a deep breath.

"Ok, so I tell her that were going out and that were going to skip the entire

trip tomorrow."

"And I tell Roderich that im going on a date with you tomorrow and that he should hang out with Elizabeta?"

"Alright that sounds good. I better get my key and go to my room. I told Elizabeta I had to go to the bathroom so I could and find you." he nodded

"Just tell her we met up and I asked you out."

"Ok." _ hugged Gilbert and walked to the front desk grabbed the key and went up to her room.

"Hey Elizabeta, sorry I took so long, I have amazing news."

"What took you, I don't care tell me the great news!"

"So I met up with this guy named Gilbert, he goes to our school he's really cute, were going to hang out at the dance and then tomorrow were going to skip the bus ride and hang out as our first official date." *I hope that was convincing enough…* Elizabeta burst in to the air, oh my gosh im so happy for you! I hope I get to meet him at the dance."

"oh you will and he told me he has a hot friend..." Elizabeta smiled

"You are so my best friend." she said with a half hug half jump.

"Well then lets get ready to go." she smiled.

They walked into the ballroom and just like before people were dancing and having fun. They walked over to their friends and began dancing, when she felt a tap on her shoulder, she turned to see Gilbert.

"Hey" she said with a half hug.

"Elizabeta this is Gilbert, Gilbert Elizabeta." Elizabeta turned toward _.

"You were right he is cute." he smiled

"Elizabeta this is Roderich." A boy with brown hair about the same height as Gilbert's stepped out from behind him.

"Hello Elizabeta I'm Roderich." _ could tell Elizabeta was blushing. She looked at _ and gave me the thank you hes adorable your my best friend for life look. _ smiled, then followed Gilbert to the dance floor.

"Well that went better than i thought." he smiled

"Do you wanna dance... again." _ nodded a smile tugging at the corners of her mouth. He grabbed her hand and led her to the middle of the dance floor.

"Well we are dancing better than we were the first time." he chuckled

"So does this mean i get more than one dance?"

"Only if you want to." _ said with a grin, he smiled.

They danced the rest of the night wishing they it would never end.

Gilbert and _ slowly walked to her door.

"Meet me in the lobby so we can get on a boat and get the hell out of here before anything bad happens."

"Do you think they'll be alright?" he looked at her

"Honestly I don't know for sure. I want to hope that they are going be alright, since they made it out the first time." she looked down.

"Get some sleep and I'll see you in the morning." she nodded as he cupped chin stroked her bottom lip. he leaned and kissed her delicate lips. The kiss over much quicker than either of them wanted by the stampede of tired dancer's. "Goodnight Gilbert."

"Goodnight _." she smiled and stepped inside her room, he walked to his and did

the same.

last day: _ got up early and left the room being sure not to wake up Elizabeta on her way out. _ walked down the stairs and looked for Gilbert in the lobby, she quickly found him sitting on one of the couches. _ silently walked

up behind him and tapped him on the shoulder, he almost leapt out of his skin. "Why so jumpy?" she said with smile.

"Are you ready to go?"

"You know it?" _ was scared and Gilbert could see it written all over her face.

"Its going to be ok." As he gave her hand a gentle squeeze.

"I know im just a little scared."

"I am too, but as long as were in this together we will be fine." She took a deep breath and smiled a weak smile.

"Two for the next boat please."

"That will be $30 please." Gilbert handed the lady the money and they quickly boarded the boat.

"Tickets please. Hey are you two a little young to be riding this boat alone? I just had a whole bunch of kids on here yesterday." Gilbert looked at _ who was starting to crack.

"Its the weekend, can't we just start our early date in peace?" he looked at Gilbert

Surprised.

"I'm so sorry right this way." he walked them to their seats.

"That was good persuading skills Gilbert." He smiled

"Well that is just of my many awesome talents." He said and kissed her forehead.

"They are all getting on the bus." Gilbert shot her a confused glance.

"How do you know that?"

"My telepathy's range is quite strong, especially with people I am close to. I can see what Elizabeta sees."

"That's amazing." she turned away.

"I don't see how. Hearing what people think about you or anything in general. I hear their voices all the time and once the gun fire starts its only going to get worse."

"What do you mean by worse?" she looked at him

"The screams… All at once, if I will be able to handle it… again." Gilbert but his arm around her pulling her close.

"When that time just give my hand a squeeze." _ forced a weak smile.

_'s eyes widened and glossed over, Gilbert waved his hand in front of her face

"_ what's wrong are you ok?" she blinked back into focus trying to fight back the tears.

"The first shot… has been fired." He looked at her and then looked down.

"Was it the same person that was shot as last time." _ nodded. _ buried her face into Gilberts chest.

"The screams are getting louder" _ mumbled into his shirt. Gilbert wrapped his arms around her. _ picked her head up a light was starting to form in the darkness.

"Elizabeta and Roderich made it out!" Gilbert smiled.

"I knew they could do it." _ shot Gilbert a worried look.

"Do you think time is going to start over again?"

"Well this was about the time when it did but I don't see any blue mist hovering over us."

"Why do you think it started over the first time?" _ asked.

"Maybe last time the killer screwed up and he needed to start over, but this time he either got what he wanted or never found it because he never knew it existed..."

"You don't think he was looking for us."

"Well I guess will never know that will we." _ smiled.

"Nope and I think that's a good thing." Gilbert pointed toward the horizon.

"Look we can almost see land." _ smiled.

"we are going make it this time, were finally going to make it." Gilbert pulled her in for a light kiss.

"They are on the other boat." _ said turning red from the kiss.

"Elizabeta and Roderich?" Gilbert said in a hopeful tone, she nodded.

"LAND HO!"

Once they touched the other side Gilbert scooped _ up in a hug twirling them in a circle.

"Now for our next big issue how do you get from how do we get home?"

"Well, we can call a transit bus to take us to a half way point and then I can call my brother and have him pick us up.

"Sounds like a plan to me."

"I will call the transit company and my brothers to tell them that we are still... alive." he nodded and gave _'s hand a squeeze.

_ pulled out her phone a began to dial

"Hello transit bus..." Gilbert was pacing when _ finally got off the phone with the transit company.

"So the bus should be here in about 20 to 30 minutes giving Elizabeta

and Roderich enough time right?"

"I'm sure that will be plenty of time."

"I'm going to call my parents, do you want to call yours?"

"No, not till we get back."

"Alright" _ dialed her brother. *ring... ring... ring...

"hello?"

"Feliks, It's me _."

"_,is that really you." His voice cracked.

"Yes, Feliks its me."

"Where have you been we've been so worried about you, especially Toris..."

"We have been trying to escape. Can you put Toris on the phone?"

"After you answer some questions, how did you survive and is anyone else

with you."

"Well right now Gilbert is with me and Elizabeta and Roderich are on the next boat off the island. We are going to take a bus up to Roseburg, can you pick us all up?"

"Your my sister the one that I thought could of possibly died of course I'm coming to get you. Here is Toris he has been so worried after he heard about what happened."

"How did he find out?"

"The news, I tried to keep it from him, but he found out."

"Put him on."

"Hello? Sissy?" _ tried to hold back the tears.

"Hey Toris its your sissy"

"Sissy is that really you!"

"Yes, Toris it is really me I'm coming home soon."

"I-i thought you were... dead."

"And what would give you a crazy idea like that?"

"The news..."

"Well nobody is going keep me away from you I promise." _

"I'm going to have to go soon can you hand the phone back to Feliks please?" "Yes, see you soon sissy!"

"The other boats is coming and the bus should be here soon I will tell you everything when you come pick us up."

"Ok, see you soon."

"Bye" *click* _ placed her phone back into her pocket and turned toward Gilbert.

"So how did i go?" Gilbert asked. As soon as _ tried to speak but the words were caught in her throat.

"What's wrong _? You did talk to them right, your brother is coming." Gilbert asked as he wiped a few stray tears from _'s face.

"Yes. I got that all taken care of its just what my little brother said that really got me."

"What did he say?"

"He heard about the killer on the news and he thought I was dead." he looked down

"I'm so sorry."

"We he knows that I am alive and well and that is all that truly matters." _ looked out at the horizon.

"Hey, the boat is here!"

"Elizabeta!" _ yelled with joy, Elizabeta turned

"_!" she ran off the boat as quickly as possible

"I thought you were dead! what happened to you?"

"They caught us trying to leave and put us back on one of the buses. We snuck off anyway but i forgot my bag so we had to go back on we heard the gun shots and screams and ran for the boats."

"How did you get here." _ asked even though she already knew.

"We were on the other bus the one he shot first, So Roderich and I ran off into the forest and kept running until we found a campground and a couple where from France and England that was nice enough to take us to the docks, because they heard about what had happened and then we boarded which took forever because of everything that was going on. The police where getting off the

boat as we were getting on so I hope that ass hole is taken care of soon." "there is the bus let's go, do you have any money?"

"How much do we need?"

"10 a piece."

"Yea we've got that." they walked toward the bus.

"Are you the ones who asked to be picked up at the roading docks?" The diver asked in a thick Japanese accent. "Yes, that's us" _ replied.

"That will be 10 a piece."

"Sir, can you turn on the news please?"

"You want to know about the killer on that isrand don't you?" they all looked at _, who turned to the driver.

"We were on that bus, we just escaped with our lives." he looked this with a twinge of disbelief. After a moment his eyes softened a bit.

"I'm sorry to hear that. I will turn it on for you and don't worry about the fair as much as you've been through its free."

"Thank you so much sir."

"It's no problem." they all turned and sat in the back two rows of the bus, finally relaxing for the first time. The bus stopped again a short while later

"Hi Kiku, can you turn on the news please."

"Its already on Daisy."

"Have you heard anything new..."

he glanced back at the group, who all looked down.

"A lot of brood shed and they still haven't caught him yet." Elizabeta started

crying silently on Roderich's shoulder. Gilbert squeezed _'s hand.

The bus stopped again and the old woman was gone just as fast as she gotten on.

"I'm sorry about Daisy, she's old and doesn't know when to keep her mouth shut."

"its ok we all wanted to know but we were too afraid to asked." Gilbert replied. "Well this is your stop, I hope they catch him soon." they nodded and exited

the bus.

"There's my brothers car." The group walked over to it. Feliks jumped out of the car, Toris on his heels, scooping _ up into a tight hug

"I told you I would be back soon Toris." he smiled and they all hopped into the car.

_ was so tired that she fell asleep in the car and before she knew it Gilbert was tapping her on the shoulder to tell her that she was home.

_ turned to the gang "what next?" "I want to express my emotions of our trip into a song for the ones that died." Roderich said. They all took a moment of silence for the classmates they lost.

**"This is Carly Carleton with the 10:00 p.m. news. Our story today is about the tragedy that happen just a few days ago, which they are now calling The Field Trip Massacre.
