"What? Why?" ray asked with some of the kids behind him

"I want to become friends with everyone and I saw how you lot were having so much fun playing that I wanted to join in on the fun!" sister krone said with a fake smile

As some of the kids started surrounding her, emma norman ray and I started whispering to each other

"Did she come just to get in our way? Or to investigate us?" ray whispered

"No worries she wont be able to find anything. Were just playing a abother game of tag, albeit a complex one. She cant do anything to stop our fun so there's nothing to be scared." norman whispered with a fake smile on his face

"Your wrong about her not finding anything." I whispered

The other three looked at me curiously

"She's going to assess our abilities. How smart we are. How physically fit we are and the works. She must be doing this to gather intel." I continued

"What should we do then?" emma asked

"I want her to underestimate us but at the same time I want to know how far we've gotten with our training." I said making the two boys nod in agreement

"What to do? What to do? What to do?" I asked sarcastically in a thinking pose

"You got an idea?" ray asked knowing I wont talk until someone asked

"Hehehe... Nope..." I said popping the p with a smile

"What?!" the trio looking shocked

"You guys think what the best option we should take but if you wanna know my opinion... I think you should find out how our training worked out. While you guys do that Imma go and rest, Peace!" I said walking away holding a piece sign

Sister krone saw me leaving and asked "Where are you going? We were about to start the game."

I turned around and looked at her direction then said "Oh! I dont wanna play, I'm tired so I'm heading back first."

The kids started begging me to come and join the game

"Come on dont be like that just one game is all, cant you see the others want to play with you as well." sister krone said

"Yeah! We wanna play with harley!" the kids started to say with "Please" and "Yeah" in the mix

I sighed, smiled and said with a smile "Okay! Okay! Okay! I'll play but I wanna be it with sister krone! Its that or I wont play."

The kids accepted my request instantly while sister krone looked shocked as well as the trio

"Dont you wanna go run and hide with your siblings?" sister krone asked

"Dont get me wrong I love my family but I'm tired and cant run so most of the time I'm just going to be walking." I said

"Its okay you can just hide." sister krone tried to reason but she doesnt know I'm stubborn as hell

"Nope!" I said popping the p

"Its either I'm it with you or I'm not playing!" I said acring like a spoilt child

The kids started to beg sister to accept my terms and conditions

She sighed and said "If harley is it with me, it wouldnt be fair and dont you want to hide with her as well?"

The kids looked like they were thinking it over

I looked at the trio with the look that I asking for help

Ray saw this and said "If harley is tired shouldnt she rest? She might get sick as well? And you know harley doesnt play when she knows she's going to lose."

The kids all had a look of sadness on their face, making my heart ache in the process

I sighed and said "Alright I'll hide with you guys." making the kids smile brightly as well as sister krone

"All right then! The time limit will be 20 minutes. I will be it so you all better get away from me. Since harley is tired and cant run I'll count to a hundred, sound fair?" sister krone asked looking at me

"Yeah! Thats fair." I said nodding my head

"Well then on your mark, get set, go! 1. 2. 3..." sister krone started counting making all the kids run as fast into the forest as they can leaving me behind

As I was walking counting down in my head, when I knew I was far away enough for sister krone to see me l, I climbed a tree and started jumping from tree to tree until I heard emma talking

"Hi!" I said jumping down from the tree scarkng them in the process

"Tired she say." ray said with a smirk

"Well atleast I tried." I said with a giggle

"It was a nice effort but right now we should think of a plan. She'll probably look for us first and go find the rest of our siblings." norman said

"I wouldnt count on that. She'll probably find our siblings first then find us later." I said

"Then what should we do?" emma asked

Ray and norman were thinking it over

I looked at them and sighed "Go find our siblings and go as a group, you guys think of how many are there in the group and think of a way to hide and escape when she see's you. I'll go and stall her for as long as I can. You in?" I asked

"Sounds like a plan." norman said

"Yeah!" emma exclaimed

Ray just nodded his head

"But we dont know hiw much time we got left to find them or she already caught them." emma said

I smiled and started counting "67. 68. 69. 70. 71..." as I walked off to where I think sister krone was

The three immediately knew what I was doing and dashed off to find our siblings

I stopped counting when I knew they werent in earshot anymore and said to myself "Well isnt this a wonderful day to do some water bending." cracking my knuckles and neck and with a smile on my face
