On The Run

Chapter 7

Omg I can't believe this is so damn late Frick. Anyway here you go

My sister and I leaned on each other as we walked behind the counter of the pharmacy, it was the only place I could think of to hide. "You have your knife?" I asked Caroline once we had made it behind the counter. She nodded and pulled it out of its holster. "Good, you need to be ready to fight." god knows I couldn't, not now anyway but I would if it came to it. I peared out from behind the dusty white counter and was blinded by the light of a flashlight and I threw myself back and behind the counter once more. My sister looked at me worried, I put my finger up to my lips; she nodded and gripped the knife tighter in her fist.

I could hear voices now, I could tell they were guys, they were laughing and gawking about the motherload they had just found; they didn't know that this 'motherload' was being guarded. I looked at my sister and signaled for her to stay put, she nodded though I could tell she was worried as I walked out from behind the counter. "Hello?" I called out trying to sound inoccent so they didn't know I was planning on an attack. I heard them a few isles down and called out again but louder and that's when the flashlights shone back in my face and the boys ran toward me. "Who the hell are you?" One of them yelled as they aproached. "You shouldn't be here girl!" another of them said soon after the first one spoke. There were four boys as far as I could see, and that wasn't much thanks to them blinding me with flashlights. The four of them stopped right in front of me and thankfully shone there lights down at my body and the floor and I could actually look at them. They were all skinny, probably due to lack of food and they all had dark hair except for one who was a blonde. "You better answer us." one of the dark haired boys said and stepped forward a bit. "Oh... um" I started but I didn't know what to say to them, I couldn't give them my real name. "I-i'm... er my name is... Megan." I finally answered them hopefully sounding convincing. They nodded and seemed somewhat pleased I had spoken. "Ok what are you doing here then, Megan?" They same dark haired boy asked, I guessed he was the 'leader'. "I've been staying here for a while." I said. The boy nodded and looked at the others "well I guess your not anymore." he said and him and the others began to laugh. "And may I ask why?" I asked raising my voice. "Well this place is ours now." he shoved his face toward mine as he answered my question and the boys behind him chuckled once again. I was getting really enoyed with these stupid boys 'so cocky, I hate it.' I thought to myself and clenched my fists, I guess I had my second wind and I was ready to fight. I stood up straight, it wasn't intimidating to them as I was a few inches shorter than them but I didn't care. "No, it's not." I said plainly, staring at them. They stopped laughing "the hell did you just say?" Leader boy asked and took a step forward. "Oh sorry didn't hear me? I said it's. Not. Yours." I furrowed my brows and scowled at them. They were all instantly taken aback, clearly no one had said 'no' to them before now. "You lookin for a fight then?" Blondie asked punching his fist into the palm of his hand. "I guess I am" I answered and held out my hand in a snapping position ready to get started.

Blondie quickly tried taking a swipe at me but I had jumped back just in time; he stared at me, angry, I just smiled. Leader boy was next aiming for my shin and landed the hit and sent me backwards a bit. I was really angry now, I snapped my fingers and the small flame a peared almoast imidiatly; they boys jumped a bit at the sight and heard one of the boys at the back mutter "she's a red". I let the flame grown in my hand and take over half my arm "I swear if you come any closer I will burn you" I warned and stepped forward just to emphasis that I meant it. Three of the boys stepped back but Blondie still remained, he was the only one really looking to fight someone I guess. "I warned you" I said blankly and ran towards him, he was dead. I was just a second away from burning his ugly mug when I stopped 'no I don't want to stop, what the hell is this?' I tried to move forward but it was imposible I was stuck in place. The boy smiled and seconds after I flew across the isle 'blue... he's a blue' I knew it at that moment, it meant I couldn't hit him 'shit!" I didn't know what I could do. The boy moved closer to me, ready to make me fly again; I got up as quick as I could and ran in the opposite direction I wasn't ready to do that again I had to think. "Are you to scared to fight?" The boy yelled "what was all that big talk back there then hmm?" He taunted me. I ran back around the other isle toward the pharmacy 'the pharmacy... my sister!" I had an idea, I jumped the counter and met my sisters terrified face "I need your help." She nodded "what do you need?".

I ran back out from behind the counter "Hey fuck-face!" I yelled "ya still going to fight me?". The boy instantly ran out from behind a shelf three rows down "the hell did you just call me?" He yelled back. Perfect I had gotten him angry "you heard me fuck-face" I taunted him with his new nickname. He said nothing, just charged right at me; I snapped my fingers once again and let the fire engulf my arm and singe my clothes and ran right back at him and landed a fiery punch to the gut. He doubled over in pain for a moment then instantly sent me flying back behind pharmacy counter, extinguishing my fire. "I was just going to throw you few times" he said "but now..." he laughed "I'm going to kill you" he jumped up on the counter, ready to kill me here and now. I stared at him and for the last time snapped my fingers.
