My body tensed up and Axel looked down at me with worry in his eyes.

""Are you okay?"" ""Ya I'm fine.

"" I looked up and saw him smirking.

He turned around and walked back in the forest.

I decided to mind-link Carter.

""˜Hey, do you have patrols out?'""˜Ya why?' He answered back sounding worried.

""˜Have them do a sweep of the southwest forest.

'""˜Okay.

Is something wrong?'""˜Ya.

Everything is fine.

'""˜Sky.

Something is obviously wrong if you're asking me to have them look.

'""˜Please just ask them.

I will tell you later, not here.

'""˜Okay.

Promise me you will tell me.

'""˜Promise.

' I said back to him.

I was snapped out of my thoughts when Axel's voice came into my head.

""Skylar!"" ""Ya sorry.

I was talking to Carter.

"" Everyone looked at me with concern but just shrugged it off.

""About what?"" ""Nothing.

"" I mentally slapped myself in the forehead.

I answered that way to quickly.

""You are telling me when we get back inside.

"" ""Do I have a choice?"" ""No.

"" He said with his really serious face.

I sighed and nodded.

About 2 hours later, the last people finally left.
