Charlie's POV
~~~~~~~~~~~
We have been in the car for five hours and we all need to take a break. We pulled into a rest stop on the highway and parked by the woods. We all went to the bathroom and met each other at the only picnic table that wasn't rotted but then we heard screaming in the woods.
We followed the screaming to find a boy about our age being attacked by three wolves. I grabbed a stick,Dani poofed up a gun, and Dan used his laser vision. Together we stopped the dogs before they could do too much damage to the kid. Dan carried him over his shoulder up to our car, and once we got to the car Dan put the kid on top of the trunk and Dani poofed up floss,a sewing needle, and alcohol. She took a med class two years ago and she learned how to stitch someone in an emergency. She stitched the kid up and gave him some ibuprofen from the dash and laid him in the back seat.
"What are we going to do with him?" I asked.
"Let's take him in the car until he wakes up and we can drop him off were he needs to be" Dani suggested.
"Okay let's do it!" Dan said.
Dan sat in the back with the boy and Dani and I sat up front.We drove for a few hours until he woke up.
"He's up" Dan whispered.
"What's your name? Kid" Dani asked him.
"My names Harley".
"How old are you Harley?" I asked.
"I'm twelve"
"What we're you doing in the woods Harley?" Dan asked him.
"My parents went missing, I was looking for them".
"In the woods?" Dani asked.
"No, I was just resting".
"Why were you resting in the woods?" I asked.
"I don't have any money".
"Hey all our parents went missing too, do you want to come stay with us at my God mother's vacation house?" Dani asked.
"Sure".
"I'm Daniel you can call me Dan".
"I'm Daniell you can call me Dani".
"Are you too related?" Harley asked.
"Yeah we are twins" Dan replied
"And I'm Charlie".
After we decided where we were all going we turned on the radio and listened to Dani's station which was classic rock, it wasn't bad Dan liked it but Harley was humming Celine Dion. On the way to the ferry we started playing would you rather and after that time flew by.
