Trapped (Book 2 of Seaweed Brain and Ghost Girl)

Run and Prologue (BTS songs)

Emery's P.O.V

It all started with Lynn falling back into water.

Then it was Angelina. She opened a fridge with a lollipop in her mouth. A cup in her hand as she walked outside and looked at the sun.

She walked along railroad tracks and stopped at one of the doors. She knocked and then opened it.

It turned into a different atmosphere. The eight of us were there, dancing, partying. I was video taping everything. And the settings switched to Lynn in the water. Then back again.

They brought out spray paint and prayed me with it. Creating an X over my white t-shirt.

Then it switched to Lynn and Angelina, tagging a wall. More of Lynn than the Jupiter girl but nonetheless. Angelina was looking out and nudged the daughter of Ares, warning her of the cops coming.

The daughter of Jupiter picked up the spray cans and ran, Lynn following close behind.

I stacked up playing cards into a house. I was almost done until Lynn knocked it down, a card in her mouth. I laughed nervously and rubbed the back of my neck.

Something is wrong. Really wrong. I thought and turned my head.

Lynn was floating back in the water. What did it mean? Why was she there?

The eight of us ran into a feild. Laughing so hard, we couldn't breathe. I felt free, like there was something keeping me from ever wanting to leave.

Stop this.

I looked up.

Lynn was fighting herself. Like she had to face something, her demons? No, there was more to it.

It was like time was going faster now. Individually we screamed, in isolation. Then ran together, like we were stuck with eachother so we had to face it. It? What were we facing?

Lynn and Angelina were caught by the cops. But it seemed like they could care less. Lynn smiled and let it happen. They we so...carefree. They knew it was bound to happen.

Jordan was lying down on a bed in a mental hospital, but she wasn't alone, Josh was there. He was always there for his best friend. Jordan hit Josh with a pillow.

It was all of us in the same room. Having a pillow fight. Feathers were everywhere, we were all laughing and smiling, and dancing.

Angelina picked up a card off the floor. Why did it feel like I wasn't there, I clearly am here with them. This doesn't feel right.

Cammy pushed all of the drinks and whatever was on a nearby table off. Kyle freaked out and got her attention but grabbing her shoulder. She turned and cried, she leaned down but got back up. Kyle hugged her tightly, trying to convince her. But of what?

She pushed him against a door and stumbled back, clearly intoxicated. Something that she would never do. Kyle slapped Cammy to get her to her senses but Cammy shoved him again but to the floor, against a couch.

Kyle looked off in the distance, replaying the events that had happened earlier. Remembering his friends and I drinking and dancing like there was no tomorrow. It came back and he was sitting alone.

Lynn was still drowning.

Cammy threw a chair, hitting a mirror. And it felt like something snapped inside me, calling me, telling me something. Because I knew, I just couldn't tell what it was at the moment.

We were running again. From all our problems, just being like kids, because we never had that chance. We ate and ran, everywhere. A place where there was no monsters.
