Another Way Out

Chapter 12

A few days later I was sitting in a tree with Hoodie. We were on a mission. I really disliked being away from(S/N). I left her with ANN, with strict orders to keep her close. "(Y/N)? Are you listening to me?" Hoodie snapped me out of my thoughts. "This is your first mission, you need to pay attention," he sighed, pointing below us. I peered through the pine branches. A family with camping equipment was chatting loudly. Hoodie gave me a single and I leaped into the next tree. The family looked up as the branches rustled. "Musta been a squirrel," the father explained. I pick up a stick and hold it against the tree trunk. I swing back and... CRACK! I drop the branch and it falls to the ground, splintered. The family looked at my tree. "Uh, maybe it's a fat bird?" The father said. Then Hoodie leaped into another tree. The family looked towards him. I jumped down with a muffled thump. The looked at me. I have no idea what the thought. I had short (H/C) hair. The bottom half of my face was covered with a guard. My dark clothes blended in with the shadows. Hoodie land with no noise. My job was just to distract them so Hoodie could work on killing the parents. I decided to try something. Hoodie said my voice was hauntingly sweet and I sounded like a siren from myths. A song popped in to my head. I pull off the mouth guard and sing, "Come little children, I'll Take Thee Away, Into A Land Of Enchantment. Come Little Children The Time's Come To Play Here In My Garden Of Shadows." The children watched me, fear filling there gazes. I held out my hand to the little girl, "Follow Sweet Children, I'll Show Thee the Way Through All The Pain And The Sorrow. Weep Not Poor Children, For Life Is This Way Murdering Beauty And Passions." The little girl took my hand. I started leading her deeper to the woods. The boy and parents called out. Hoodie chose this moment to attack the father. The little girl simply didn't look back.
