Mal,

I sat on my bed looking out the window, i was so thankful that my bed was near a window. I really liked to look out and forget all the worries, the troubles. I turned to look at Rachel who was looking at me.

"I'm getting worried, Val hasn't come home yet" I said it was currently six o'clock four hours after Val stormed out of here. "Look Mal, everything will be okay. Whether she comes home or not, nobody's going to miss her anyway. We are all off better if she never came back."

I looked back outside, 'What has she down to make you hate her Rach? What grudge are you holding onto." I knew Rachel hated Valorine, I just never knew why. You see i really don't hate Val but i don't like her anyway. She thinks that she has it bad but really she has a big house to herself and everything she wants. Yet here i am stuck while she gets to go out. She doesn't have it bad at all.

"What she did was steal our parents. Val gets to live with the people who were supposed to raise us, all of us and guess what they didn't." She started saying her words at a fast past, "If Val weren't here we will be living in that big house with our actual parents. We could have known what it was like, living with someone who were actually your mom and dad. You understand now, right?"

All i did was stay quiet for a period of time and a long one Rachel got of her bed and onto mine. "Who's we," i said, "The biological kids or the adopted ones." Now Rachel was silent, "No Mal you got this all wrong. Look Mal-"

'No you look if you were with your bio parents you probably would not have met me. I'm gonna sleep in Mikes room tonight okay," I grabbed all my stuff and went to mikes room. I dropped all my stuff in his room and grabbed his arm, "Come on we're going on an adventure."

"Mal where are we seriously going," So yeah i was leading my brother somewhere he doesn't even know. "Were going to follow Mal. I mean whatever she's doing must be important or she would have came home, i know she would have." I turned to fully look at Mike, "How do you know where she is anyway."

Mike looked worried like i was going to make us get lost. "All of us has a tracker so it's easy to know where she is. Why do you think grandma is not worried yet."

Val,

"Where exactly are we going." I was following Ronolds, which i don't really know if i should do that considering i barely met the guy. Instead of taking the streets or calling a cab we were going through alleys and on top of roofs (Which we got on top of using the fire escape stair things). "You will see okay, i can't or couldn't exactly tell you until your birthday," He seemed quiet in hurry, i stop walking.

"What do you mean until my birthday, that's in 8 days from now. Way too far away," i didn't want answers later i just wanted them now. "Look kid you will get those answers but for now you'll just have to wait. At least till we get to the place were going."

I stepped closer to him, "And where's that,'

"You sure do ask a lot of questions kid,"

I smiled and crossed my arms, "It one of my specialties. So where is this place, the internet because that's place is not providing me answers." Ronolds seemed pretty annoyed right now. What? i'm not just going to run off with a total stranger that was in my dreams.

He started mumbling just a bit, "I know i shouldn't have... I'll be in trouble...what if she finds out... cage...birthday." He even scratched his neck and the way he did these two things just made me want to laugh. So i just giggled a bit instead.

"Were going to meet your mother." That actually made me laugh, "No stop lying to me she's not here. She's all the way in Washington for business."

Okay maybe this man is crazy...

"No not your fake one your biological one. The one that is here"

"No, no, you're lying my mother is in Washington for business not here." I started backing up, "You're lying."

I could now hear people screaming my name. Like i'm some important person, I would have called back but i just fell onto the pavement. "Look we have to go girl. If you want answers we have to go before those people get here." He looked toward the entrance of the valley the voices were getting very close.

"Look Val you have 5 seconds just come, please." But i didn't i just broke down, my mother's not here, mothers in Washington. My names is still Val Velcap. I don't know why i broke down exactly but i did.

I felt hands wrap around me and two voices a boy and a girls saying, "We're here Val, were here."
