Scorpion

Chapter 2

Kaleb P.O.V

"Derek!", I yelled as I ran to his lifeless body."What happened?!?".

"I *grunt* came b-back to w-warn you", he barley managed to say.

"Did you get shot?!", I asked frantically. I look down to see him clutching his chest. He was spitting up a little but of blood. He was grunting from the pain and not being able to breath.

" Go! Just go! *grunt* more are coming!*, he managed to whisper \scream.

"What?! Where they all ready know where we were heading!", I yelled frustrated.

"G-go to The Stones", he told me. He started to grunt even harder, and his breathing got weaker.

"But father told me not to for a while!", I said.

"The Alacran already sent Chiefs and Bloods all over the ground", he said as he began to close his eyes.

"Wait!", I yelled frantically.

"Take the girl with you...you will need her", he said very weakly.

"Why??!", I said holding his face.

"She will c-come in h-handy... You have to protect her.... Take her w-with you..... Keep her s-safe..... Sh-e i-is *grunt*, a-a ", and with that he left us. Damn! What was he gonna say?!?

I looked over to her. She had been there. She just stood there in complete shock.

**BANG BANG BANG!!*

More gunshots were heard. I looked around to see bloods running towards us. I grabbed her by the hand and started running.

"What is going on!?!", she yelled.

I looked back at her. I saw Chiefs running behind her. I then remembered about the gun Derek had given me. I pull her aside behind me , and started firing at them. I shot down all four of them.

"Listen I don't have time to explain. Just follow me. I promise you I will keep you safe. Just come with me", I said grabbing her hand and pulling her and started running.

"Well can you at least tell me where we are going!", she yelled frustrated and freaked out.

"We are going to a friends house to hide out", I said while running.

"What! What do you mean we?! I don't even know your name!", she yelled and stopped

"Look! Its the best thing right now! Do you wanna get shot?! Or do you wanna be safe with me?", I said strongly and passionately.

All she did was nod. I left her speechless. I grabbed her by the hand again to run. But this time she grabbed it back.

We ran through a ton of alleys, and finally I found the back of the apartment that my dad told me to go to.

"Wait here", I told her

"Okay", she said slightly frightened. I opened the window. I slowly crept inside.

The moment I looked around, my heart started to feel heavy with emotions. There were pictures of my mom, my dad before he went crazy, and my brother.

He was only one year younger than me when he died in the accident with my mom. I snapped out if it. I pulled my gun out and decide to inspect the area.

I heard no movement. I went for the living room. Everything was trashed. They were here before. I made my way to the kitchen.

The cupboards we destroyed, table ware everywhere. I headed for upstairs. It was clear. I went for the biggest window and jumped out.

I landed right next to her. She was stunned at how I was able to jump for so high up.

"Its clear, we can go inside", I said.
I helped her get through a window that was downstairs. I opened the window.

I sat her on the pain. For that split second our eyes caught. It was hard not to look away. I felt flustered, and I don't mean to sound gay but,I felt butterflies.

She then just hopped right in. She looked around.

"What was all that?! Who are you?! Why did you bring me with you!? Can I leave!? Wh-", I cut off all her questions by getting close to her. There was on about 2-3 inches of space between us.

"First let me introduce myself. My name is Kaleb", I said

"Well,I'm Adeline", she said back shyly."Can you explain things to me?", she asked

"Well, ADELINE, it would be best if we talked about it later", I said.

"No! In case you haven't noticed I'm am in a house with a complete stranger! I am rreally freaked out and scared and the least you could do is tell me what the hell is going on!!", she yelled at me on the verge of tears.

I ran up to her and stood a few inches from her. I felt the need to touch her, to comfort her. I reached with my right hand to rub a tear that was falling down her cheek.

Our faces were inches, if not centimeters away. Out breaths were were caught in our throats. We were about to kiss, at least that's what I thought.

Until she needed me my junk a and bolted out the window. Only if she would've known who was waiting for us out there..

There an other chapteri know my work sucks but I promise it will be better....

With love,
Lovely Radke
