"Damnit, and we don't know how she changed us in the first place...I mean it couldn't have been food, cuz the last think I ate last night was Oniguri. It might have been airborn, like a mist, or Perfume." Ember said still blushing at what she had seen as Aki tried to pull his pants up.

"I think we should try to figure out what she did to use later and for now focus on getting as far away as possible from this house" Aki said as he motioned for Ember and Celestryn to go out next. He had by now gotten passed the embarrassment of being in front of so many women nude.

(lets wait for unofficial to get back)

k.

(Ok, I don't mind waiting. :))

"There might be a boat or something down by the water, But how are we all going to get down there with out the old lady finding out?" Ember asked staring out the window.

"Yeah thats a good question. We have to hurry. If we lollygag much longer we will get caught." She looked at the others. "Guys we have to come up with somthing fast."

SHe hated having to stand here. The longer they did the longer itwould take to get out of here.

"Okay, Push me threw the window, I'll Climb down to the water and see if I can find a boat." Ember said climbing onto a chair that was infront of the window.

"Alright, just be sure to grab something to help pull you through too" Aki said quickly as he went beside the chair and cupped his hands against the wall to be a foot hold for Ember. He was hoping that she would understand to put her foot in his hands and he would boost her up. Then after he knew Ember made it out alright he would do the same for Celestryn. He figured it would be best if he went out last, since if they were caught he could either provide a fairly good distraction and find an alternate escape if he had to. Now that he was a little taller and his actual age now, he knew it wouldn't be too difficult, since he was now stronger than his eight year old self.

"If there's no boat down by the water then we may have to make something ourselves such as a raft. Since this place is an island we can't go too far, but it should still take a while for the old woman to find us regardless. Hopefully it'll be long enough to let us escape" he said as he worked on hoisting Ember up through the window. Once again his shorter height made things a little bit more difficult for him but he managed to accomplish what he was set on doing regardless.

Alana waited until Ember was out and then climbed out herself ignoring Akis help. She looked around the house from the outside. It was a cute little pink house. It had windows and blue shutters. It had a chimney. It had white trim. It was quite cute minus the pinkness. She looked to the left there was water. SHe looked to the right more water. She walked around the house. Still nothing. She went back to the window.

"Send Cely out now. And then you Aki."

{I missed alot......I'm catching up.}

Holly was sitting in the corner of the dark basment. She had followed everyone down there then his as the old lady came in. She wanted to get out of there. When Holly started to hear them talking about being older and getting out of their cages she jumped up and ran to them. Alana and Ember were out. Aki was helping Cely. They climbed out the window and went to the outside. Holly was tall now and her clothes fit her. She waited till everyone else was out and pulled herself out quietly trying not to scare them. They didn't even know Holly had followed them down to the basement. "You guys, where are we?" Holly asked then covered her mouth not meaning to speak.



{sorry I didn't add that many details}

Celest struggled "I dont like being pushed" She grumbled, she had a thing about certain people. And certain people touching her, she yelped lightly. Smacking her hand over her mouth she blushed "Im sorry" She whimpered

Once Aki was out and was sure everyone else was out he rubbed the back of his head in an apologetic way after hearing Celestryn's words. "Sorry I probably should have asked if you needed assistance getting out first before I actually did it. That was poor thinking on my part" he said apologizing.

He then looked back at the house and winced slightly when he saw the outside of it. It was a complete eyesore for him and he couldn't really imagine anyone wanting to live in a house like that. Although now he knew for a fact that there was one person, a crazy and sadistic old woman. That was when a random thought occurred to him. "Anyone want to burn it down?" he asked half jokingly and half serious.

His dark eyes turned to Holly in surprise when she spoke. He hadn't noticed her at first, although he had met her earlier. "I don't think any of us actually know where we are other than we're obviously on an island. Maybe there's a sign or something around that can tell us, but for now it may be best just to get away from this house as quickly as possible" he said as he looked back towards the house. He wasn't sure how much time they had or how long it would take the old woman to figure out they were no longer in the basement in their cages, or that they were no longer eight.

Alana looked at them and kept quiet. She was going to let them do some thinking for a while. That guy Aki was kind of cute. She knew there was no chance he would chose her she was to young and he already had two girls after him.

"I say we make a run for the ocean." Holly said brainstorming outloud. She didn't even pay attention to the ugly house and turned to face the water. Holly had always loved the ocean and it looked much more inviting then the house. The would all end up dying back in the house so why not take their chances with the ocean.

"That's all good and well though I don't know if we'd be able to make it to any mainland without a boat or a raft" Aki said calmly as he tore his eyes away from the ugly sight of the house. He looked around trying to find something that could be of assistance and was relatively close by, such as a fallen tree or something, but alas such luck was currently not on his side. He gazed over at the ocean. He couldn't see any other land in the distance, so he was fairly sure that swimming would be out of the question. He let out a quiet sigh as he continued to try and think of a different solution.

"I do agree though that we should at least get away from the house so running towards the ocean may not be that bad of idea. However one of the only downsides would be that we would probably leave some sort of trail that, that woman could follow unless..." he said trailing off at the end as he thought. He watched the water lap against the shore, removing, replenishing and bringing more sand with it. It was possible that maybe if they stayed by the water's edge their footprints would be either covered or washed away by the water.

"This may be a long shot and there's a chance it may not work fast enough, but if we do head towards the ocean and walk along the shoreline we may not have to worry about leaving any footprints other than ones heading towards the water" he said as he calmly voiced his idea. He did another glance back towards the house as he couldn't shake a feeling of being watched. He thought it may have just been his imagination running wild, but he didn't really want to chance that and he was sure the others wouldn't want to either.

Ember had dissiapered to a shed she had seen attached to the house. Inside were tons of Gasoline and a boat. She thought it odd that there would be so much of the Gas but ignored it and pulled the Boat out. After she had the boat out of the shed as far as she could she got an idea. She ran back inside the shed and poured out all the Gas, then opening the hill of her boot she pulled out a matchbox, she began to Light match after match untill there was a pretty fair fire blaring inside the shed.

"Okay, we got about five minuets before this place is a pile of sticks." She said pulled the boat towards the waters edge.

Aki looked a little surprised at the fire that Ember had started in the shed. "I was only half joking about setting her house on fire" he said rubbing the back of his head. Despite this he had no intention of putting out the fire. He decided it would be best to move the boat quickly to the water as he was sure the fire would probably attract the attention of the old woman, and if they were caught now...

He didn't really want to think about that right now. He quickly moved to start pushing the boat towards the water. He knew though that once the boat hit the sand it was going to be a bit harder to continue pushing it, but he figured between the five of them they could manage it.

Ember smiled and helped push the boat into the water, taking extra care not to let her hand bump his even though she wanted to grab it and hold on forever. Once they got to the sand the boat got a lot harder to push and she had to lean against to to get to the edge.

Alana rushed over and helped them push the boat into the ocean. She couldnt beilive they set the house on fire. She only hoped there was enough gas to get themselves to safety instead of drifting forever on the ocean.

As he pushed Aki looked back towards the fire creep to the house. Something seemed off about the whole thing. "Does anyone else feel a bit strange about the fact that, that old woman has yet to actually come out despite the fact her house is burning? For some reason this just seems a little...too easy all of a sudden, not that I'm complaining or anything, but considering everything we had to do previously..." he said as he continued to push the boat.

Ember noticed Alana looking at the gas tank on the boat. She opened it and looked inside. "I worked with my uncle over last summer on his fishing boat. We have about two days worth left. And judging by how many seagulls there are over to the north, there's land about 168 miles that way." She said pointing towards the birds.

"Hopefully they're not just flying around there because there's land here" Aki said as he took a quick glance towards the birds and taking his attention away from the currently burning shed and house. He knew that once again they had a time limit, and he was still pushing, but as was expected the sand made it difficult to push the boat out in deep enough water even with the three of them pushing together.

He could feel his muscles starting to tire, which he figured was from the lack of food and hydration, and the boat to him seemed to be moving slower and slower. 'Only a little while longer until we can actually relax a little bit' Aki thought to himself calmly over and over again.

"No, seagulls stay close to land unless they are looking for food. If they were there because of land here, they would be closer." Ember grunted as she pushed the boat. She noticed Aki looking tired and tried to push harder, But her body felt weak and tired. She hadn't ate anything all day or drank anything.....Maybe if they just pushed the boat a little harder.....

Alana pushed with all her strength. She heard a splash as the boat entered the water. She sighed and sat down a moment. She needed to relax her muscles. She looked over at the others they looked just as drained as she felt.
