Risk for the truth

chapter 8 From One To Another

It's hard being away from everything you know. I live in a shelter with my older brother. This was because my parents abandoned us when we needed them most. My brother is working at a boat shop, and brings home the money for us to survive.After meeting Abby I felt like I a had a chance to start over my whole life. So I made up a new name just incase. My real name is Catherine Zoe Burnwell. I am a 14 year old citizen of Canada that went on a camping trip by myself and got lost.

After thinking to myself I heard a noise coming from the kitchen. "Hello! Is anybody there. Abby are you back" I called out but there was no answer. I grab a hard book and slowly walk to the kitchen. It sounds like light foot steeps, but strange enough it seems to be in the same place. I go into the kitchen slowly, being observent and with my guard up. But then I realized the noise I heard was the faucet dripping from when I washed my hand this morning.

I am not you average girl and no I don't have powers. I am a rejected member of the burnwell family one of the richest family's in canada. But I was rejected because I have health problems. I don't know what they are but I know what they have caused for my family. Just looking at a picture of my family hurts, how we where vs how we are now. I have a feeling the health problems are the reason I passed out so long in the tunnels yesterday, but I can't be certain.

After looking at this cabin and how we got here I don't think this is your average cabin either. I think this is a safe house that's the only explanation I can think of. But why are we here to get away from old man Vincent the hobo or is it something else?

My older brother should be on a trip for work and be back in 2 weeks. It's hard being alone in a strange place with a stranger but there is something I couldn't turn down about her. The deal she made with me was a huge one but I have to repay her for saving my life I can just leave her like that. But in the end I have nothing to lose other then my brother and my life.

At that moment I heard something fall in her room so I went to see what happened. One step at a time up the stairs I started feeling strange. Going through the hallway I felt like I was going through the desert it was way to hot. Each step I got hotter and hotter by the time I got to her room I was really week that I was practicly crawling so I used all the strength I had left to open the door. But it was so strange when I opened the door I got cooled down almost in an instant and all my stamana came back. When I looked around I saw a picture fram fell so I went and put it back on the dresser. Looking at the picture I realized it was her family a mom and dad, an older brother and sister that look like there twins , lastly her, so happy with them but now she doesn't even smile. As I walk out the room I hear something down the stairs. Walking back down the stairs I didn't feel week, hot or anything. When I got back down the stairs, I found a little cat just standing there. I walked up to it slowly and it didn't move so I picked it up and looked at the tag it was my cat that I had to sell to help with financial problems but ran away from the new owners. A couple hours later Abby came home to a new team member.
