Run Away

Where Are We Going?

"Uh Mr. Felton where are we going exactly?"
"To my place," He began. "We're taking the long way since we can't go through town."
I was a bit confused, and judging by Zach's reaction, he was too.
"How come we can't go through town?"
"Zach, there's the police looking all over for you two. If we go through town we'll get caught."
"Well how else will we get to your place Mr. Felton?" I asked.
"Through the forest of course."
I was about to ask another question, but instead Zach asked before I could even open my mouth.
"Why can't we just stay at B-Dads? We're safe there. Aren't we?"
Mr. Felton stopped walking, and looked at us.
"Look there's a lot you don't know yet, but right now you only need to understand this. The police have their ways. If they get suspicious of B-Dads store they'll keep at it until they get their answer."
"But the police don't know about the secret room, right?"
"Zach I'm afraid to tell you, but they do."
"But how?" I asked before he could even continue.
"Look you don't need to know that yet, all you need to know is that being at B-Dads place isn't safe for you two anymore. The police will search through the whole store, even the secret rooms. In the meantime you two will have to stick with me until this whole thing gets settled down."
We continued walking, as Mr. Felton added in one more thing.
"Also, I forgot to mention. We will keep moving to different hideouts, so be ready. There won't be any pattern in changing hideouts. We'll go whenever I think it's safe. Do you understand?"
"Yes Mr. Felton." Zach and I said at the same time.
"Good."
We walked silently for the rest of the trip. I thought it would be best if I just kept quiet. Anyways, Mr. Felton was doing Zach and I a favour. He was keeping us safe. Now there's a less chance of the police finding us. I just hope Mr. Felton would be able to hide us for quite a while. At least until this whole thing settles down a bit, and we can go live with B-Dad again. It wasn't much longer until Mr. Felton announced we were here.
"Welcome to your first hideout with me." He gestured to an old, abandoned mansion. The front steps were falling apart, and looked moldy. Windows were shattered, and the front door was just barely standing up. It looked like it would have been a beautiful home at one point, but clearly someone stopped taking care of this place.
Mr. Felton lead us to the front steps. He stopped us when he quickly walked up the three steps. As he stepped on them, they all made a quiet snapping sound. He helped Zach and I safely up the steps, we then continued following Mr. Felton inside.
"Um Mr. Felton, I thought you said this was your home?" Zach asked.
It then reminded me that Mr. Felton did say he would take us to his place.
He held up his pointer finger as if he was saying 'Hold on'. He slowly opened the door, and gestured for us to go in. As we entered, it looked beautiful. The house was very clean, and you could tell someone was looking after the place. I was so shocked. I didn't think it would look so beautiful inside. Mr. Felton closed the door, and put his hand on our shoulders.
"So what do you think?" He asked.
"It's beautiful." I replied. Zach nodded his head in agreement.
"Well I'm glad you two like it. I tried my best to make it look clean. I didn't want you two to think I was a complete slob." He gave a little chuckle. I just gave him a weak smile.
"Well let me show you two your bedrooms, then I'll make lunch while you get settled in."
We once again followed him up the stairs. After we walked up a few steps there was a landing. Beside was a door that lead to a room. Mr. Felton peaked inside, then shook his head, and gestured for us to follow. After we walked up a few more stairs, and stopped at landings, we finally came to a bedroom.
"Zach here is your bedroom." He gestured to the closed door. "Inside there's a bathroom. I'd like you to shower before lunch." Mr. Felton added.
"Okay, thanks." Zach walked inside the bedroom, closing his door once again.
Mr. Felton and I walked up a bit further until we got to my bedroom.
"Here's your bedroom Kendall."
I looked at the closed door then slowly turned the knob.
"Oh Kendall one more thing."
"Yeah?" I turned my head so I was facing Mr. Felton.
"I ask you not to leave this house without me, it's much too dangerous for you to be alone out there."
"What if I go with Zach?"
"No. It's too dangerous for you two to be out there alone. You'll get caught. You'll be in a worse position then."
"Does Zach know this too?"
"He should, but I'll remind him just in case. Now promise me that you'll do as I say no matter what."
"But what if-?" I started but Mr. Felton caught me off.
"What if Zach leaves without me?"
I nodded.
"Then you are to not leave the house, and alert me. We'll find him together." He looked straight into my eyes, and I looked straight into his. "Do we have an agreement?" He put out his hand, waiting for me to shake it.
I took a deep breath. I have to agree, he won't trust me if I don't. I shook his hand, and looked straight into his eyes. "Agreed."
"Good. Now go have a shower, and come down to the living room once you're done."
I nodded. He left to go back downstairs. I assumed he was going to go talk to Zack. I turned around, opening my bedroom door. Inside was white walls, with hardwood floor. To my right was a double bed, with a night stand beside. I also saw double doors which I assumed would be a closet. I looked to my left and saw a door. I walked over, and opened it. Inside was the bathroom. There was a counter with a sink, a toilet beside it, and to my right was a shower. I stepped inside, closing the door behind me. I started the shower water, making sure the water was nice and warm. This was so nice, finally being able to relax, and not worry about anything. At least for a little while...
