My Last Days In Crossville

Chapter 1

    On Halloween night my brother and I were out trick or treating. We ran around the streets trying to not get hit by a car. It was a normal Halloween in Crossville. I went as Bloody Mary and as for my brother, he went as Chucky. I'm Tarica and I'm sixteen as well as a freshmen in high school. My brother Alfonzo is thirteen being the youngest and a grade below me.

    I sighed, "After this next house we're going home." He looked at me with pleading eyes, "Oh, come on sis! Just a few more! Please! Please! Please! Please! " Then he jumped in front of me. Then he did the puppy eyes....Curse you Al! I chuckled a bit while shaking my head before looking at him, "Fine just a few more." He then literally jumped in the air smiling like an idiot. When he calmed down a bit we started our way toward the next house. I walked in front of Al to ring the door bell. It opened to reveal a guy with blonde hair, brown eyes, and a party has on. Daaaang he's tall! What is he, big foot!?!? My eyes widened a bit then went back to normal. That's when I smelled the alcohol. Well this won't end well. He looked us up and down and said, “Come on in and join the 'hick' party!" He swayed back and forth a little then leaned on the door frame. Aaaand he's drunk out of his mind....peachy. I sighed, “I'm sorry sir. I think we're at the wrong house. We'll leave you alone now." I turned around and we started walking. "Were do you think your going?" I was then grabbed by the arm and pulled into the house.

    My brother spun around and kicked the door open as the guy holding me was trying to shut it. I was then yanked out of the blondes grasp and pushed out of reach. The next thing I saw was Alfonzo kicking him in the gut. Catching my balance I kicked his knee. SNAP! He then tumbled over. Alfonzo then started walking towards the door again. As he reached for the handle the boy got up and tried to get my brother. Realize I said tried. Before he could get to steps in I round house kicked him in the head. K.O! I win! I then walked out the door with Alfonzo. When he realized what happened he looked at me wide eyed them looked at the person on the ground then back at me.  Once we got out the door we bolted down the street. We only stopped when we were six houses down.

    Alfonzo looks at me and says, "You could have killed him you know?" I chuckled bitterly before responding, "Yeah, I could've but I didn't. Besides it was self defense." We continued walking for a little bit until Alfonzo said,  "Let's hit a few more houses before we go home! Come on!" I was smiling so much I just couldn't bring myself to say no. Sighing I nodded. He then ran to the next house red hair flapping around looking like fire. Though it's usually brown, like mine, but he wanted to look more like Chucky so we got him some wash out hair dye. Right before he left I saw his blue eyes light up with excitement and his tall figure was gone. I did there and waited for him not feeling like going to this one. Before I  came out of my one thoughts he was running toward me.  Shaking my head I met him half way. "Why didn't you come? I thought you wanted to keep going." He looked confused and a little worried as he said it. Wait...worried why is he worried? Looking up at him I said, "I'm tired of running around the entire neighborhood. Can we go home? Please?"

    Before he could respond I saw someone trying to sneak up behind him. The guy didn't get very far before I held up m my hand, twirled my finger in a circle, and made a fist. Al saw this and spun around and grabbed the person by their color and said, "What do yo-...." He didn't finish and dropped him. "Is Andrew..." While I Al walked to stand beside me Andrew was catching his balance. Did Al pick him off the ground? Blinking a bit I looked between both boys and smirked inwardly. Three years younger then him but still stronger! Now that, that's funny! Ha! On the outside I was as stoic as stone but on the inside I was dying of laughter. It didn't take long for Andrew to catch his balance and he walked closer to us. As he walked closer Al whispered in my ear, "Hit and run, or talk?" Whispering back I said, "Talk, if we hit him and run you know he will just come back later." He sighed knowing it was true. Once Andrew was in front of us I raised an eyebrow, "Now what is it you want? I haven't seen you since we broke up a few months back." It's true I did date this no good for nothing jerk, but he ditched me at a diner.... three times and he said it was a family issue. I found out the next day that he was cheating on my with a bimbo of a cheer leader. He then started to fiddle how thumbs, "Well I kinda need a favor..." I didn't hear another word because right then I grabbed Alfonzo and started walking.

    We got about two yards away before I felt someone grab my wrist. This is the second time tonight! Ugh! Why me!? I was then turned around only to be met with the green eyes of Andrew. I looked at my brother. If looks could kill this guy would be dead teen times over. Well this should be interesting at the least...
