Tundra (contains errors)

Part 3

What about my dad? {Andrew's POV} I set Sadie's mom down where I was laying before. I start bawling. I sit down next to Sadie and hand her the note. She reads it quickly and covers her mouth with her hand to stifle a sob. "What about dad!" She screams. "Sadie, stop. We were both meant to die." Her mom says firmly. "Leave him and you two come talk to me now."Chapter 21||

{Sadie's POV} My wonderful, loving mom has been put into this unsettled world as part of a plot. I can not look at her in the same way. I listen to what she is saying. "My time is passing quickly." She says in a frantic voice and pulls out a watch with a timer counting down by the seconds. "But, Andrew", she cups his face. "You need to take care of Sadie no matter what. You two cannot be separated. Here." She pulls out a yellowing piece of paper, a map. "You two need to work as a team to solve this ancient puzzle. Sadie darling, be brave and never doubt your instincts. Be strong. You two can conquer obstacles that you don't even know of yet. I believe in you." She takes off her watch and puts it around Andrew's wrist. She also takes out two survival bracelet and puts one around each of our wrists. Finally, she takes out two drawstring bags. Each one has our name embroidered on it. "You will need everything in these bags. There is a notebook that explains everything for the most part. My time is near, I love you both." She stands up, hugs me and Andrew, and then the strangest thing happened. My dad stood up and hugged me. He walked over to Andrew and said, take care of my girl you have done well. Then, he whispers something in his ear that causes Andrew to blush. {Andrew's POV} Sadie's dad whispers "You have my blessing." I involuntarily blush. He shakes my hand and gives me a bro hug. I peck Sadie's mother on the cheek and she says "The spirits picked you for a reason." Then, Mr. and Mrs. Hayes walk hand in hand toward the forest and fade like a ghost.||Chapter 22||

{Sadie's POV} Andrew and I just stare at each other expecting our questions to be answered. Then, I realize what my mom was saying. "Andrew, sitting here staring at each other is not going to do anything." "But,Sadie you are mesmerizing to look at." He says with a goofy grin. I roll my eyes and punch him playfully. He always knew how to lighten the mood. "Owwww!" He kids. I run away and he chases me. He catches up to me and grabs my hips,then swings me around. We both collapse in the snow laughing. Then, our eyes meet. We are face to face. He reaches out and strokes my cheek. "Sadie, you are amazing. I love you to the moon and back. Gosh, your hair looks amazing with snow in it!" I run my fingers through his dark brown hair. "I love you Andrew. At first I want sure about us but, you make me feel safe and I'm in love." "Sadie, I have waited so long for you. But, I was willing to wait forever." "You are perfect. You helped me love again and I can never repay you for that." Then,I kiss him because I want to. Not because I had to. He smiles, I smile it's perfect. Suddenly we both scream,eyes wide. Andrew grips his head. I squeeze my eyes shut. We both wince in pain.Chapter 23||

{Andrew's POV} "Sadie!" "Andrew!" We both pop and run towards each other, Sadie skids to a stop right before crashing into me. "Sadie, your dad!" "My dad? I heard my mom. What did he say?" "He said that this is not goodbye forever. There is no time to loose, open the bags." "Same here. I think there is a note or something in them." "Geeze. Your mom and writing notes." I shake my head and chuckle. Sadie hits my arm and grabs my hand. "Let's go." She takes off and yanks me behind her. I start jogging at her pace.

{Sadie's POV} When Andrew and I get to the cave it is completely rearranged. Then, I hear my mom's voice in my head again and I cringe. I can tell Andrew can hear my dad again because he cringes too. It is a little less unbearable as before but, it still hurts my head. My mom says, "Only read the note in your bag." Andrew and I sit on opposite ends of the cave as instructed. I carefully open my bag and find and envelope with my name across the front in cursive, my mother's handwriting. I carefully rip open the envelope. {Andrew's POV} I obediently open my own bag. I come across the envelope. My name is printed across the front in Mr. Hayes' handwriting. I open the envelope with my Swiss army knife. I feel the anticipation in the air as Sadie and I simultaneously unfold our letters. I am ready for some of our questions to be answered.
