This passage here is absolutely fabulous. I feel like this is a passage to some mysterious place: "After their little dance, from being off the smelly flats with mud traps, they began shaking the darkness off everything. " Thank you for sharing and good luck with your writings.

What a conversation the girls had among themselves. They being in a foggy weather, not sure where they are, I'm surprised one of them didn't start crying. Being in a dark cave with several passage ways, not knowing where they led to, is a very scary ordeal - I personally know as I once found myself in such a situation. It's hard to not panic in such circumstances. Well, I hope the girls find the house they were looking for,

    Thank you for your supportive review. If you are interested in the incidences they are referring to are in the beginning chapters. If you want to read the most meaningful chapters. ch 2,3,6,7,10, 12,13. There is no need for a review. Just enjoy it.

The writing flows nicely and I liked the bit about the headlights ripping through the fog. There was a slight air of suspense which made me want to read further. Best wishes for your ongoing creative efforts.

She rested on hand on Linda's shoulder - She rested one hand, I believe the e is missing.

they had not noticed the tiny light ahead. maybe, they had noticed the dim-light ahead.

Linda smiled and moved her hand fondly along its bark./Linda smiled, moving her hand. along its bark.

Apart from my thoughts and suggestions, I enjoyed it!

I like that Linda speaks to her backpack. I've spoken to my backpack once or twice when travelling and only having it as a companion. I would've liked some stronger imagery about sounds around them and the track they're walking. Maybe even the colour of the vehicle which passes them.
Thanks for writing this, it sounds interesting!

First I do have to compliment you on the chapter title, Liz, it was a great idea, very creative. Second, it was a wonderful continuation chapter. Poor Linda and Liz are definitely having an adventure, as does those they come across. Great job. Looking forward to the next chapter. Oh, I finally got in touch with Anne, thank you so much.

    Thank you for your loyal supportive review. I'm glad you finally were able to connect with Anne. I think she's feeling isolated because she can't seem to get back on Fan Story. I've given her an idea how to get her password. I hope she can figure it out.

    You are so welcome Liz, your writing is always enjoyable. It will be nice if she can figure it out and get back on. Time will tell I'll keep my fingers crossed. :>)

I hope they make the right choice and that things work for them for once instead of having to fight their way through another problem. The poor girls have been through so much already. The part about the shoes was funny. It also lets us see their mental state. What the adventures has done to them. Your chapter is well-written, very interesting. You have a great hook at the end. I look forward to reading more.

I thought this was an enjoyable read. You do a great job of building up the suspense about them being followed. You may want to hold onto events like that a little more and let them play out a little more. But overall this was a strong chapter and an enjoyable read.

>> "Dive, dive, dive." This was one of Liz's favorite exclamations.

Perhaps this isn't needed: This was one of Liz's favorite exclamations.

Kinda takes away from a rather big event. And also let's the air out of the tire for me - everything is going to be fine.

Great job overall - an enjoyable read.

    Good point. thank you for your supportive review. The van actually is the one that appears in Ch 3. It is the reason they felt weakened in Ch. 14. So you are right, I shouldn't minimize it with trivia.

The two girls do have some adventures and I like the way you use descriptive sentences to show what they are doing. This seems like it is written for teens. That is how I feel the theme is directed. Nice chapter and well written.

    Thank you for your involved review. I hadn't thought of my target audience but you are right, the fact it involves rescuing teen, would make it germane to teen issues and interests. Who better to learn the facts of trafficking and injustices toward the Native American Indians than teens?

    Too many adults still see them as savages all but obliterated by the soldiers and wagon train occupants. Maybe it's not too late for teens.

    A few reviewers on here while reading the facts in Ch 1-13 said they didn't know there were still many Indians left. I think this book I'm writing is informing and bringing awareness to many writers on here.

    Thank you for your support.
