Falling Stars

6- Snake Eyes

Chapter 6

                After talking to the police Jason and I hopped on the bus and headed to City Park. Not really all that smart, walk City Park at night, with all the creepy mossy trees and stuff, by our selves, but at this point we don't really care. The Police wasn't really all that helpful, they said that they'd start the investigation once they talked to Eve's parents. If her parents didn't call in the first place what makes them think they give a shit?

        "The only friends that showed up today was Maddi and Josh. Where's the rest of the gang? Mickey's sick, but where's Mike, Cassie? Where are they? I don't understand why but my friends are disappearing. Maybe I'm just over reacting but it's scaring the hell outta me and I don't know what to do," I said defeated.

        We walked among the tall mossy(and did I mention creepy) trees in silence for a moment before the silence got too much for me. I was about to say something when I was quickly silenced by that voice from earlier. This time it was yelling frantically, but I don't know what. What ever's going happening, it's scaring the hell outta my inner friend. My heart is now beating a bit faster and my brain buddy it telling my internal systems to run but I fought it. This is just too weird. I'm going crazy.

        "Mimi there's something I have to-" but Jason didn't finish what he was saying because something had reached out of the darkness of the trees and grabbed me. It was now pulling me away so fast the trees blurred past. Jason was calling after me and I was screaming bloody murder.

        My heart is pounding, and I can't breath. The air whipping past me is pulling all the air out of my lungs and by now my body is numb and my lungs are burning. This thing is gonna kill me.

        The last thing I saw before I blacked out was something with scales wrapped around my torso squeezing the life outta me.

        When I woke up I was being carried in someone's arms, looking at a bruised, battered, and scratched, up-side-down, and soaking wet/burned Jason limping next to me. I moaned as a huge headache hit me full force when I tried to lift my head.

        I just laid there limp and lifeless as I was placed in the back seat of Leo's car. "What the hell were you two thinking?!?" he yelled as he drove us home.

        I moaned again, that loud noise made my head hurt worse. Jason looked pissed but tired, beyond all.

        "We were just walking when someone grabbed Naomi and ran off. I chased them and got my ass kicked trying to get her back with out killing the bastard that took her. When I saw we couldn't walk home or take the bus like this I called you," he closed his eyes and put his head on the window.

        "I see that Jackass, I was asking why you were out there in the first place," Leo sneered trying to keep his cool.

        He knew why we were out there he just doesn't want to believe it.

        "We went to the police to tell them about Eve," I groaned out.

        Leo pounded his hand on the steering wheel, "Dammit, I knew it. I knew it but I didn't want to think it. Why? Why would you go for a late night stroll by yourselves?"

        "We'er not little kids you know? We can take care of ourselves. That just caught us by surprise," Jason said now fully pissed.

        Leo pulled the car over to the side and jumped out. He closed his door, walked over to Jason and opened the door. He pulled Jason out closed his door and slammed him against it.
