The Curse Of Five

Chapter 5

She asked the witch, "Please oh witch, heal her like you did so to me!" 

Hazel

"You'll never get away we will get you some day you can be sure of that!" I'm running down to streets as the leamer on my shoulder sticks its tongue out at the fat cop huffing and puffing after us his slick back hair looks wet in the light. Probably from all the sweat! I laugh to myself.

When we get to my shelter I divvy up the stuff between spot(My leamer.) and me. I slip on a pair of sunglasses. I get dressed and run to school,Ripping down a poster with my picture on it saying "Most wanted!" Ha so they don't have anyone more dangerous to chase!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I approach a man wrapped in who knows what a rag of some sort. As I approach him I see a woman's car pull up. I can't see her face But her hair is in a tight bun and she is wearing cloths that make her appear to have some sort of authority. "Ah I knew you would be here come Hazel!" She is looking right at me I turn to run but as I do the man speaks. "please I need you" He pleads. Slowly I turn around. My right foot is behind me in case I need to make a break for it. Spot joins me at my side. "I told you to stay back" I hiss at him. He shrugs.

"Who are you and how do you know my name?!" I demand. "Hazel I can't say it here it's dangerous,but let's just say I know who you are,when you were born, I know who your parents are and, I know what you can do." The woman says in a voice like a doctor's,sort of calming,almost hypnotizing. I won't be fooled I turn and run away.

When we returned to shelter I summon a robot to complete my homework. I snuggle up in my warm bed and wrap the covers over my head. I am shivering but not from the cold. Chills run up and down my spine. She said she knew what I could do! I scribble in my diary for about a half hour. The words coming off the pages in beautiful inky black swirls.I stare at them and transpose the letters around to create different words until I drift off to sleep.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When I wake I hear whispers, I shut my eyes and listen. It sounds like someone crying and... that woman. "Are you sure it happened like that?!" A man's voice says under his steadily flowing tears. "It's okay. You can come out now. I know you're awake." The man says wiping away his tears.

Shakin I rise. "That's it come on out." The woman says and the man comes to my side.He investigates my face. I am crying now I want to scream but if I do my cover will be blown.

Who are you?! I can't muster any words.

"She does look a little like me doesn't she." The man says. As he examined me I am also examining the woman and the man. I note my surroundings and that the man is just a boy! I move my hand under my pillow and find my diary and my pen from last night. I click my pen open. "Stop. Don't do it hazel." but it's too late I scribble on my page and bring it to life. Smoke perfect. I take my pen and diary and make a break for it.

I feel a sharp pinch in my arm and my whole body goes numb. "I am sorry but it's for your own good." The woman says as if it's supposed to make me feel safe. I feel the boy pick my limp body up. He uses my hand to draw me tied to a chair. My vision is spotty. Hey spot! I think I whistle as loud as I can,Which isn't very loud since my lips are numb. "He won't come. He works for me." Says the woman. But how is that possible if I am the one who drew him. I try to speak but I can only make out a few words. The rest sounds like gibberish. "What.....want....me.....spot...?!" I muster. But the man says what I have just thought and tried to say. "She says; What do you want with me? Where's spot? How does he work for you I drew him?! Why me..." I am still. "I know. You'll understand soon."She wipes the tears from my cheek.

"Michael I have to go I am not supposed to be making contact with you or any of the others. I will assume you will take care of her and remember the others! Please say their names and locations for me now." She tells him I am in a daze. "Yes ma'am you can count on me. There is Hazel,Location here.Then Amber and gale, in portland,Maine. And finally Katherine in florida at the wildlife reserve." He replies. "Alright you're ready and remember be prepared for anything. As for you don't give him a hard time you'll come to like him. Help him as much as you can for the people he just listed are your only hope" And just as she arrived she is gone.
