I steadied myself on the uneven roof. The sky was a dark orange, and I had to decide what I wanted to do.

I could run if I wanted to, but the team would probably catch me. On top of all of that, they were being nice to me. My mind raced through all the different scenarios that would happen if I stayed, or if I jumped off this roof right now. What if the group called the police? What would happen to my parents?

"dammit" I said, peaking over the edge. It was good 10-foot jump, and if I landed right, I could start running before they notice I'm gone. Very coincidently, I started mumbling the words to a song floating in my head.

Darling, you got to let me know
Should I stay, or should I go?
If you say that you are mine
I'll be here 'till the end of time
So you got to let me know
Should I stay or should I go?
It's always tease, tease, tease
You're happy when I'm on my knees
One day it's fine and next it's black
So if you want me off your back
Well, come on and let me know
Should I stay or should I go?

I sighed, still trying to decide. I was running out of time, I had to do it now, they were going to have to check up on me soon anyway. Before I could overthink any longer, I held onto the gutter sturdily, and leapt off.

If I hadn't alerted wilbur, we would have taken off without Schlatt, knocking on the window rapidly.
"hello? We're trying to save Moll—" I said,

"I have a gun, now lemme in" Schlatt boomed. I opened the door in half a second,

"wait you actually have a gun?"

"yes of course I have a gun tommy, who do you think I am?" Jschlatt scoffed as wilbur put all his weight onto the pedal, basically launching us out of the driveway.

"woah wilbur" Dream almost got choked by his seatbelt.

"I know she's not my real sister, but if I am able to save my sister, I'm going to save my goddam sister" Wilbur said through gritted teeth, gripping the wheel with both hands.

"ok pop off I guess" Dream said, turning the radio on full blast. The eagles song "Witchy Woman" was on.

a/n: I usually don't listen to the eagles, but this song is just *chefs kiss*

Raven hair and ruby lips
Sparks fly from her fingertips
Echoed voices in the night
She's a restless spirit on an endless flight

I couldn't tell if I was nervous or excited, because there was a good chance Molly could've been dead.

Woohoo, witchy woman
See how high she flies
Woohoo, witchy woman
She got the moon in her eye

But then again, I could get her back. It was 50/50

She held me spellbound in the night
Dancing shadows and firelight
Crazy laughter in another room
And she drove herself to madness with a silver spoon

Wilbur was driving so fast, I almost felt it in slow-motion as cars on the opposite lane honked at us.

Woohoo, witchy woman
See how high she flies
Woohoo, witchy woman
She got the moon in her eye
