Mutant Kids

Ch. 3 Creepier Mall

The Runaways woke up early and started walking towards the mall. And they were all tired and couldn't walk another step. "We've been walking forever. How far is this mall?" Maddie said. "Trust me, it's just over that hill we would be closer if we didn't have to take so many breaks, Roar," said Willa. "Don't get mad at me if I have a weak bladder... and get very thirsty," she said. They made it up the hill, which was very tiring. Then they had to go down the mountain. But one of them tripped and fell and brought everyone down with them. They made it at the bottom, and they were kinda hurt. "Leave it to Swift to be clumsy and hurt us," said Willa. "Hey, at least we got here faster," he responds.

Willa used her wolf strength to open the door slightly so they all could get in. "First, we are not in a zombie apocalypse. Why is this mall abandoned and run down like this?" asked Maddie. "I don't know, but all I know is that we have this place to ourselves," said Roar. They split up to get supplies. Everyone was packing clothes, flashlights, batteries, and foods that don't need cooking. As well as hand sanitizer, tissue, and deodorant. Once they had everything packed, they went to change their clothes to something more appropriate and comfortable. The boys dressed normally wearing solid color long sleeve shirts and black pants. Roar wore black cargo pants that went to her ankles and a gray short sleeve crop shirt. Willa wore a black fitting shirt and some blue baggy jeans. Maddie wore a black hoodie and jeans leggings.

"I swear you women take forever to get ready," said Ferno.

"I'm sorry, just because we're running from society doesn't mean we can't still dress pretty," said Roar.

"I've been stuck with you two for fifteen years. I don't see it," he said.

"Hey guys, come up here. You won't believe what I found," shouted Swift. They ran upstairs only to find an old kid play place. "I don't see what's so amazing," said Willa. "Well, first we spent most of our young lives running and hiding, and there are sweets here. That's what I wanted to show." This moment, the kids took some time to enjoy being kids, even played in the ball pit and having fun and laughing. That's when they heard a very loud bang thinking it was the adults.

They got out the ball pit to look over the rail. They didn't see anyone or hear anything. "We have to get out of here. it's not safe for us." The kids grabbed their stuff and tried to rush out of the mall. That's when a metal can roll in front of them, then stop. The group was confused, and then it came flying straight at them. Then, they started flying into objects and getting thrown all across the mall.

A strange person rises in the shadows and uses his hands to move objects. He pointed Knives at them, and he told them to leave. Everyone except Maddie used their powers to fight back. Once the person saw that they were mutants, they fell to the ground. That's when they saw a boy standing in front of them.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" said Ferno.

"I thought you were adults or just humans. Ok, I'm sorry, I'm Kin, " he said. Right behind him, a thing bent its body into a bridge and started walking. Then squatted on the ground next to Kin. She had long black hair and dressed like she came out of a mental hospital.

"And this is Casper." Everyone looked at her, and Swift said "she don't look friendly." "She looks creepy, but trust me, she's nice. You know it's not safe on this side, "Follow me," he said.

They all followed Kin and Casper upstairs. "Quick question we spent an hour in this mall. How did you know we were here?" said Willa. "Well, this mall is very huge, so I didn't hear anything. But Casper felt a presence other than me and her. It took us awhile because we were on the other side of this mall, " he said. They walked across the mall until they saw a small campsite.

"Ta da, welcome to our lovely establishment," he said.

"Did you have to make it look like you're sleeping in the woods?" said Maddie.
