After that we decided to go home even though he knew the apartment he had no knowledge of the project center. We all got back home and sat down and thought about what to do. I worried about where we were going to live. The real world isn't safe. We can't really move out without a car or plane and even if we just walked really far we would have no way of going back to the land of time. What to do, what to do I couldn't think of anything.

While I was still thinking Adam grabbed the chart. As he went through all 12 again I tried thinking of some sort of plan to get us out of this situation. We all just sat in silence. I didn't have a single idea. Finally Adam stood up with a grin on his face but I could tell there was fear behind that smile. He started to speak and said "I have an idea let's capture 2 instead if 2 is the gateway between the real world and the land of time. If we capture him it wouldn't matter that everyone knows we're here cause they won't be able to get to us." That could work but how in the world are we going to capture 2. 3 could have probably told him already I mean he can teleport. I spoke my mind then Little Me spoke up "Actually this could work 3 isn't allowed to exit the real world and without 2 the only way here is the time machine and I'm pretty sure you guys can close it." Adam nodded.

I started to get the plan. Still I was kind of worried if we could pull it off after the last plan. Little Me must have seen my doubts help me out. She reminded me the only reason the last plan failed was because we didn't know about 3's resolve. She was right, we don't really need to capture him. It would be nice too but he could die for all we care about were just shutting off everyone from the real world.

I agreed to the plan and we started preparing. We already have the rope knife and chair even though the rope might need replacing. Adam grabbed pencil and paper and started to explain the plan "Tiny Racheal you have to stay behind me in the void and Racheal are not exactly safe but they already identified you and sent you to the white void. As for me and Racheal were Emma Rodgers and James Coolmen we should be ok. If push comes to shove we'll just have to kill 2" Little Me looked up at him with shock and nodded her head even though anyone can tell she didn't want to.

The plan was for me and Adam to look around for a bit when we both confirm no one's around we give Little Me the signal telling her to make our move then we all gang up on him and bring him here. This could work. We have room for error if someone is there we can just head back and if someone were to discover who we really are we can just kill 2 it's not optimal but it gets the job done.

We decided that the signal for ok would be a thumbs up, the signal for retreat would be a thumbs down and the signal for kill would be in the middle. We both got up and grabbed our IDS and Little Me followed behind.

I decided to talk things over with Little Me while we walked there "Are you ready for this." She nodded in agreement. All I could do was nod back. There was nothing to discus. Little me finally spoke up and said "Have you ever killed someone." I nodded in disagreement and she turned around and I could tell she was horrified at the fact there's a chance she might have to kill someone one of the twelve no less. Now that I think about it when we were capturing 3 she didn't say a word once when we trapped him. I didn't even consider how much this must hurt for a child even if that child is me. I lie through my teeth and tell her "You'll be fine you probably won't even have to kill him and even if you did I know you'll get the job done I believe in you." She smiled after that I couldn't tell if that was fake or if I generally made her feel better.

Either way I just wanted to give her confidence because there's a high chance she might have to kill him. 2 is located at the clock where 1 might be if she happens to show up after we're all out she definitely would have to kill him. I can only pray that doesn't happen. I hate to put this on a child but there's no way we could live if they could just walk in here. We saw the exit we closed and told Little Me to stay put. He told me to go first he didn't explain why but I'm assuming he just wants to watch Little Me for a bit.

Fine by me I walk out of the white void and looked around no one yet. I walk a little father then gave Adam the thumbs up to keep moving. I kept walking and 2 was in my sights. I was getting nervous but we already came so far I look behind and Adam is nowhere to be found.

Panic set in and I didn't know what to do was Adam right about Little Me this whole time. Should I kill 2 I'm not risking things just in case Adam could see me I gave him the thumbs to the middle to kill. There wasn't any sign of either of them then it's up to me to finish this. I sprint towards 2 reaching into my pocket for my knife.

Then I saw 1 appear from my peripheral vision. I kept running, stopping would do me no good. I just had to go for the kill. I saw 1 sprinting and she was way faster than I imagined, almost catching up in an instant before I knew it she was right in front of me. I try to stab her with my knife but she dodged it quickly and hit me something I was unable to see then I blacked out

I didn't expect to but I woke up in a chair and a rope tied around me I look around and saw Little Me right next to me I look forward and see 1. We messed up big time the plan fail. I don't see Adam anywhere where is he. I look in front of me and see Adam but something was off maybe it was because I just woke up but he didn't look ok what did they do to him while I was gone I could only wonder. My eyes start to focus and I could take one good look at him. I take another look and I expected to see bruises and cuts maybe even a stab wound but it was so much worst. When I took another look he was shorter than usual. He looked around 8-9 then it hit me. The person right in front of me is Little Adam.
