So the kids weren't entirely hopeless but still Audre looked at each pair carefully, her eyes remaining on Thomas and Emma. Both kids fidgety under her stare until she looked up at the sky in thought. Where was she going to start?<br/><br/>Her eyes turning back to the kids she announced, "We're going to play a game."<br/><br/>There were obvious sounds of disappointment, Thomas and Emma ready to argue. Most of the voices silenced by the slight reminder that Jack was there. Audre looked at Jack with no appreciation in her eyes. She didn't want his help if his presence will interrupt her observation of the kids but having another player in the game would make things easier. So she continued. "There is an easy two miles of land between us and your guys home. Your objective, make it home before dinner time. You have 4 hours."<br/><br/>Some of the kids started to exchanges knowing glances of an easy victory, Audre smirked her eyes glancing at those who knew that there was more to come. "You must achieve this on foot," Audre said with a smile. "That's right, no flying."<br/><br/>The kids started to become uneasy, mainly the little ones. Audre watched as Zara cooed words of encouragement and ease to Sparrow. While Benjamin placed a firm hand on Falcon's shoulder. The rest of the older kids looked disappointed and annoyed at Audre, but kept quiet overall.<br/><br/>Walking over to Jack, she handed him a fold of paper, it was a map she borrowed from the house, pencil marks showing a route for Jack to take to circle around the area. "Jack and I are your obstacles. We'll be flying around or on foot to search the woods for you guys. If we find you and tag you, you lose. And you won't have dinner."<br/><br/>"That's not fair!" Adam shouted out, his turquoise eyes sparking in anger. "Why do you guys get to fly and we can't?"<br/><br/>"What about the younger kids?" Zara spoke up. "They won't be given dinner too?"<br/><br/>Audre looked between Adam and Zara, before her eyes remained with Zara. "Exactly," Audre answered and when the girl was ready to argue Audre cut her off. "They are following your lead, your choices effect them too." The girl closed her mouth then, understanding the responsibility she was given completely. However Adam, Thomas, and Emma are still too young to understand but they at least followed both Zara and Benjamin's lead and remained quiet.<br/><br/>As she looked over the kids, there was barely a hint of sympathy towards them in Audre's eyes. They may even have a cold edge to them for she's never treated kids like this before. But this was a serious matter and her eyes showed the experience she gained living on her own for what felt like so many years for her.<br/><br/>Shifting her bag off, she produced two stop watches, tossing one to Jack, it was set at four hours. "If we do tag you, you are free to fly back home. But as long as you are not tagged, do whatever you can to make it back home<span style="font-style: italic">with your partner</span>." Audre looked at every kid to show that this last statement was important. "Any questions?"
