Ludwig listened quietly.

When Jean finished speaking, his expression relaxed; he didn’t seem the least bit opposed. “If that’s what you want, Jean, then sure.”
He was surprisingly agreeable. Jean blinked-
Then again, he had always been unusually accommodating when it came to her.
He rarely went against her.
Jean patted his arm, her eyes shining. “Just be careful, okay?”
Ludwig gave a proud smirk. “What, you think I can’t handle this?”
In the blink of an eye, the boy had already leapt into the opposite side of the forest with Jean in
tow
Bryson stopped in his tracks, stunned as he watched Ludwig suddenly move in the opposite direction at full speed. What is going on?
The others looked just as confused, uncertainty flickering in their eyes. At that moment, Ludwig burst through the trees with Jean and landed in a wide clearing.
Suddenly, a massive shadow fell over them, pressing down with an overwhelming sense of force
Jean instinctively looked up. A huge aircraft loomed directly above them.
The deafening roar flooded her ears, and all she could hear was an overwhelming buzz.

She blinked in confusion.
Everything around her had changed. Ludwig had brought her beneath a thick, towering tree.
They were no longer under the open sky where the plane had hovered overhead. In its place was a forest of ancient tree
their heavy branches swaying low around them.
“Where are we?”
Jean pressed her lips together, asking without thinking.
Beside her, Ludwig answered plainly, “A temporary safe spot.”
Then his eyes curved slightly, half–smirking. “We’ve done enough acting like bait. We’re not actually going to let ourselves get shot up.”
