( She just has a normal phone.)

Deanna heard her phone ring and saw that it was Tracy. She hoped Carly was alright, since she hadn't heard from her sister in a while.

(alright. was jms)

Tracy hoped that Deanna was alright as she waited for her to pick up the phone. Thinking of what she wanted to say, she thought it would be a good idea to suggest her moving into the gym so that she could keep an eye on Dea. (I think that was the nickname we gave her)

( it was. )

" Hey Trace. Is everything okay?" Deanna asked her friend. She had just got off work and was walking toward the apartment she had just moved into.

"Not really. I just got a message from Ark," Tracy said, calling Alex by his nickname to show the seriousness of it as she explained what was going on with her sister.

" What sort of message? " Deanna asked feeling worried. She hoped Carly was safe.

"Did your sister ever tell you about how she met Max?" Tracy asked, hoping that she had. If not, she would have to explain to the best of her ability about why Carly and Max were in trouble right now.

" She did. Is The School after Carly and Max again?" Deanna said in an alarmed voice.

"Unfortunately, yes. I know that Carly and Max can take care of themselves, but I'm worried about you." Tracy said over the phone, hoping that Dea wasn't offended by that statement.

" You are? Do you think the school might be after me?" Deanna asked.

"I am. You're one of my friends after all," Tracy said before continuing. "I'm not entirely sure if the School will come after you or not, but I wanted you to know, just in case."

" All right. Is it okay if I stay in the gym until things cool down?" Deanna asked hoping she could.

"Of course you can. Actually, I was going to ask you if you wanted to stay here," Tracy said, a small grin on her face.

" Okay. I'll be at the gym in an hour. I need to pack a few things. " Deanna said. " Thank you for letting me stay. " She added.

"Don't mention it, you're a friend. I'll see you in an hour or so," Tracy said before ending the call, hoping that Dea was safe. She headed back inside to finish watching the match with Eragon.

Deanna hung up and quickly hurried to her apartment. She hoped she wasn't being followed . Deanna unlocked the door and grabbed a duffel bag. She put in a few things she would need while she was with Tracy.

(would the Erasers hunt Deanna to get at Carly and Max?)

(They would)

(alright)

"The sister is here, right?" one of the members asked as another Eraser nodded.

"What's even better is unlike her sister, she isn't a trainer. We can get her easily," his partner said with a small smirk on his face. Both had heard about how Max escaped from the School with the help of Carly.

Deanna finshed up and locked her apartment. She clung to her bag tightly hoping she would make it to the gym safely. She was glad she could use the main streets to get to the gym, not wanting to be alone on the less traveled streets.

The wolf-like humanoids walked through the streets of the village while drawing little attention to themselves as they hunted for Deanna. They had a small picture of her, so they knew what she looked like, but didn't know exactly where she was.

Deanna was feeling uncomfortable as she got closer to the gym. She hoped there were no Erasers looking for her. She knew a little about them but didn't know what they looked like.

'Interesting...where is she going I wonder?' one of the wolf humanoids thought as she saw a raven-haired female with a dufflebag hanging off of her shoulder. He couldn't see her face, but he had a feeling that this female in front of her was Carly's sister.

Deanna was glad to see gym in the distance and picked up the pace. She wanted to be someplace safe in case she was being followed.

The Eraser kept to the shadows as he watched the girl head to the gym. However, once she started to pick up the pace, he cursed lightly and started running after the girl now knowing that this was Carly's sister.

Deanna knocked on the door and hoped there was someone close. She was getting nervous the longer she was out here.
