There.In.That.House <a creepypasta survival story>

:-1-:

It is here, my fellow hoomans, enjoy! :D

Shop lifting, it isn't my favorite thing to do, but it's better than letting everyone and myself starve, or eat garbage. I carefully walk down the aisles, mouth almost watering from the grand amounts of food. So close, and so far.

No one was looking, right? So I cautiously took a loaf of bread and put it in the shopping basket I was carrying. Anyone shop lifting would normally hide there prize, but I don't. That's because Cody trusts that I am the fastest and smallest of our group (Besides Penny, but she's a wuss,) and that I could escape a store without paying for anything.

I continued down the aisle, looking for anything else we might need. Maybe I could sneak out with some doughnuts, just because. As I walked I passed a man, with wow, a wallet that sticks halfway out of his pocket. My god, what a retard! Little does he know about magic...

And bam! Now I have a large wallet, and an iPhone too... Not shabby! The retard didn't even notice... If only he knew..

I payed for the goods and walked out, counting what I had left. The idiot had brought along of damn money, and I have a hundred fifty something dollars left. The phone was also good, it just had a cracked screen, but otherwise it turns on with only a 'slide to unlock.' Penny will be so jealous...

Across the crosswalk was a group of teens older than me, and way, way bigger. They spotted me instantly, and as soon as I was across, they pounced down on me.

"And if it isn't Merry..." One of the boys said, using the name they gave me. How I got it is a pretty interesting story..

I am a tiny, red head teen that literally only stands at around the 4' 9" range. It's funny, because almost everyone else around me are tall. Only Penny is shorter than me. My birth name, actually, is Aubrey. So these teens teased me for many reasons. I am a ginger, I'm a hobo, i'm tiny. At first they called me hobbit, but over time called me Merry, and Penny Pippin. That's my story, anyways.

" Hey! One of the girls called out, "isn't it kick the ginger day?"

Oh, no, they're all agreeing, got to run..got to run...

:time travel to 20 minutes in da future:

"Aubrey!" Cody exclaimed when he saw me drag myself through the door. I was bruised all over from that beating, and barely escaped having something worse happen. Also to mention that Cody is the last person on earth who still calls me Aubrey.

"Aw, Aubrey! Were you attacked by those other kids again?? Poor Aubrey..."

"Stop babying me Cody," I growled, and dropped myself onto a dusty, torn couch.

Cody came to pick up the food I bought, but tripped and fell down the remaining half of the stairs. Cody is a clutz, but luckily he has never tooken to much damage. He just got up at the bottom of the stairs, picked up the food, and began to store it away.

Penny and Antonio heard Cody's epic fall, and came running from the other room. Antonio went to go help Cody, while Penny came running to me.

"Penny, don't worry about me, okay? I'm fine." I reasure her. She grins, understanding.

"No, silly! I know your alright!" Penny giggles. " but I hope you can catch up with me, so you can see what Antonio found!"

She runs up the stairs, but I hesitate to say hi to Antonio. He was looking through the stuff I bought with Cody.

"Hi Antonio!" I exclaim.

"Merry, your such a sweet tooth." He replyed, holding the bag of doughnuts. I smirk at him, and run off, up the stairs. Penny was waiting for me by a large box.

I looked inside and saw a turtle about the size of a softball.

"Is this Antonio's new pet?" I asked, and Penny nodded.

"Well, look what I got today."

I pulled out the phone I picpocketed, and turned it on for her. Penny just stared, amazed.

"But, how did you get it?" She asked.

"The normal way."

"Did he notice??"

"Nope."

"Aw, that's so cool, and the newest one too! I wish I could get one.."

We both stopped talking when we heard sirens in the distance. They sounded as if they were coming here. Penny and I silently dessended the stairs to Cody and Antonio, who were also listening.

"These are not nice cops around here," Antonio explained. "Everyone take anything you can carry, and we'd better get our asses out of here."

We listened, and started packing food and what few things we own. For me, it included the iPhone and wallet I snatched, and a few other things I found. Soon everyone was packed.

We left silently out the back door and into the night just as the cops came down our street. We once had a poor conditioned home, but now we have nothing.

Where do we go next??
