The group of girls rushed towards the address, the longer they wait the more chance that the family will be found, and the children taken. They were sure if that girl had told anyone else, the wouldn't be surprised if she did.
It took them a hot minute to run there, Dakota was exhausted by the time they reached the street. Unlike Tamika and Maddie, she didn't have very high stats, so this took quite a toll on her bodies. Not to mention she was rather old, her body doesn't work like it used to before.
Fortunately, once they reached the street they slowed down to a speed walking pace, just so they don't look too suspicious. The walk along the street was rather quiet, aside from the girls heavily breathing there weren't any other noises.
They reached the driveway of the house, the girls understood why the family had managed to keep it a secret for so long. The house was large, and it was surrounded by trees, making it a perfect place to stay hidden while in the city.
They walked up to the gravel driveway towards the old wooden door, once they reached it they knocked hard and a few times. Hard enough that the people inside would even hear them while they're in the shower.
*Knock*Knock*Knock*
Silence, no one answered the door for a couple of minutes, Tamika knocked again. The girls felt hopeless and were about to go around back and try to find another way in, but the door opened.
The one that answered the door was a middle-aged woman, she was gorgeous. She stood roughly 5'3, had long brown hair they reached past her shoulder blades, vibrant green eyes that sparkled with curiosity. All her facial features fit just right, there were almost no imperfections.
"What do you want?" The woman asked. She kept the door relatively closed, only showing half her body and the top of her head. The woman's eyes darted towards each of them, analysing them closely.
The girls were a bit stunned by the appearance of this beauty but quickly resumed normal behaviour. Understanding why the woman was so protective Tamika talked in a calm manner, "It's okay, we're here to help you, you just need to trust us."
The woman had a hard time processing what they said, that was until she realised they knew her secret. She closed the door even more, only showing a quarter of her face which was tilted at an angle. She was so close to slamming the door and running away, but the words intrigued her that she wanted to hear more.
"How do you know that?" She asked, her voice slightly quivering. No one aside from family members should know her secret, if these people knew then it might mean there were plenty others that knew. Maybe the military was coming for her right now.
The woman's brain was overworking, thinking of every possible situation even if they sounded ridiculous.
"Your sister in law said it out loud, purposely making us hear it. She probably wanted us to call authorities, but don't worry, we're only here to help people like you," Tamika calmly explained, her friendly grandma vibes coming into effect as the woman slightly began to trust her words.
The woman opened the door, what she had done was a great risk to her. However, she knew she needed some help. Hiding in the shadows was beginning to get to her. So if these random people that came knocking on her door could help her, she would gladly take the help.
"Oh, my names Michelle, please take a seat," Michelle said kindly as she gestured towards the couch. It was a fairly modern couch, it was large with a coffee table in front of it and a tv in the corner.
The girls walked over and sat down, the couch was comfy, quite soft and the materials felt nice. They waited for a few minutes before Michelle walked around the corner with glasses of water in her hand.
She passed the water onto the girls, who gladly accepted it and drank. They then placed their empty glasses onto the table.
"So how do plan to help me?" Michelle asked.
"We're apart of a group, or organisation you could say. Our main goal is to protect unique children, children that had been cast aside by the world and left for dead. We heard that you have such a child and were wondering if you would like to join us," Tamika said. It was like she was a professional dealing with people, Michelle started to relax around them. Maddie and Dakota decided to let Tamika handle this, from they've seen it seems she's a pro.
"I would love to, but where is it located? How many are already involved?" Michelle started to ask questions.
"Our current base is located at in the ocean on an island 100 kilometres offshoot from Sydney, there are currently 15 of us along with a bunch of children we take care of. We plan to make it big, internationally recognised. This is all to make people accept the unique children," Tamika explained their plans, all while keeping her calm composure.
"Alright, I know others that are in a similar situation to me," Michelle said. This surprised the girls, they had been looking for so long but found nothing, now they got a huge chunk of information.
"Where?" Tamika asked. They were just needed more hands to help out, yet suddenly they get dozens of hands in a few seconds. It was rather pleasing, as maybe some of these mothers might tend the farm.
"All across this neighbourhood, that's the reason the authorities haven't discovered us yet. Since we're all in the same situation we all stay silent," Michelle explained. It was rather ingenious, it was as though they took over this neighbourhood entirely for the reason of protecting their children.
Michelle continued, "Give me a second I'll message for them to come over, my house is the usual meeting spot due to the trees that surround it."
"That'll be great," Tamika said enthusiastically.
Michelle sent the message, so while they waited she turned on the television. On it was just a bunch of news about what's happening across the world, any current events taking place.
But what shocked them was the first thing that popped up was the faces of Lachlan, Dylan, Chloe, Flynn, Georgia, Joe, Zoe, Simon, and Maddie. There were a few more faces now, the authorities probably connected the dots and investigated. Although they still don't seem to have the parents, it was still bad that they discovered Maddie.
This was especially so for the current situation, they were just running around Adelaide to make it here. Plenty of people saw them, most of which probably immediately reported them to the authorities.
The most surprised was Michelle, at first, she still didn't completely believe them, but once she read the news she now believed she could trust them.
"We need to go soon," Tamika said.
"Why?" Michelle was a bit shocked by the abrupt news.
"The military probably knows we're here, if we don't move soon we might be surrounded," Tamika explained, she quickly got out her phone and messaged Simon, telling him they've been compromised and need to get out soon. She sent the address of where they were.
…
Outside the city Lachlan and Simon were starving, they forgot to have breakfast before they left and now that their faces have been posted around the city they can't go in and get food. Their stomachs were gurgling from hunger.
Fortunately, there were a few unsuspecting beasts around, rather small ones. Although they were small, that was in comparison to the size of the normal beast they've seen.
Lachlan went ahead and caught a few, killing them in the process before he set up a little area and started a fire. Then place the meat on some sticks and stuck them into the ground. As the meat cooked its fatty juices dropped onto the fire, the smell filled the air.
A few beasts came over to check what was making such a delicious smell and seeing the cooked meat they immediately went to try and take it. Lachlan and Simon went into defence mode swiftly, this was their food, they aren't going to let some beast just waltz on over and take it from them.
After defeating all the beasts Lachlan and Simon got their beasts to release their auras. Storm and the Rocs' auras worked hand in hand, the surrounded area quickly became electrifying, warding off any beasts that were curious.
Simon suddenly jumped up from his spot by the fire with his phone in his hands, a look of panic was on his face, looking up at Lachlan he shouted, "The girls have been compromised, we need to get them out of there!"
Lachlan also jumped off as soon as he heard the news, he quickly summoned Calamity before jumping up on him. Simon summoned Storm and jumped on. They both shot off, Lachlan followed after Simon as he knew where the girls were.
Flying over the city brought a great amount of attention to them, authorities were quickly informed and set out. They knew who Lachlan and Simon were, they didn't want to mess up. The Land Guardians wanted to revenge, for the stupid reason of honour.
