I jump off of my comfy bed and take my phone off the charger. I shove it in my right pocket and put on my neon green tennis shoes. I rush to my parent's room and the door slams against the wall.

"I need to go check on Avery and Cayley I'll be back soon," I say to my mom. She tells me to be careful and I hurry out the door. I run as fast as I can and I get there in ten seconds. I arrive at their door and ring the doorbell.  I give them thirty seconds.

30... 29... 28... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1...

Without thinking, I kick the door with all my strength and it flings open. Luckily, Dylan, their one of many dogs, wasn't there under it. I then remember there was a key under one of the rocks. Oops.

This is very odd because most of the time he is there peeking through one of the squares of the windows where there was wallpaper torn off. I scream at the top of my lungs, "Avery, Cayley!" No answer. I examine the living room and everything was out of place from earlier.

I walk and check for possible hiding spots where they could be. I walk into the kitchen and my gaze immediately turns to their Den. Couches were flipped over, games were all on the floor, The barbie doll house was on another one of their dog's cage. The back door was wide open. I open Sadie's cage and say, "Go get her." She runs out the door and sprints after her.

I surprisingly keep up with the dog and about fifteen seconds of running later, Cayley is in my eye sight. She trips over a branch and falls down. I run and pick her up off the ground and put her on her feet. Blood is all around her mouth. Busted lip. Tears are streaming down her face.

"Cayley, are you okay?" She nods. "Where is Avery?" She points the way she was running and looks back at me. "Cayley you go back inside right now. You shut the door and you lock it. The only people you open it to is my family and your family. No neighbors."

I pick her up and turn her towards the house. I make sure she starts heading back before I go find Avery. I start running again and see Avery sitting on a rock looking down at something. Dylan is there sitting right next to her, panting like he was out of breath. "Avery," I yell. She looks up and pushes off the rock. "Are you okay?" She sighs and nods.

"Where is Cayley?" she asks, her face filling with worry. I point my thumb behind me and respond, "I sent her back to your house." right after I say that I hear breathing behind me. I spin around and see Cayley. My mouth drops and Avery bursts out laughing. I scowl at them and say, "I told you to go back to the house." She shrugs her shoulders and responds, "I was scared to go back alone."

I sighed and motioned them to walk ahead of me that way I can make sure they get back safely. Cayley walks but Avery just stands there. I grab her arm and pull her. She falls, but I catch her and she stands straight again. "What happened?" I ask Avery. She responds, "I'll tell you when we are away from Cayley." We walk in silence the rest of the way. The main reason is because I was on my phone the whole time.

Cayley asks, "Who was that?" Avery gives me a look that I know means to make up something to tell Cayley. I don't even need to read her mind to know what she's thinking.  I reply,"It was one of our friends. You know, we got you, it was just a prank? We are going to clean it up so don't tell your mom. Okay?"

She shrugs her shoulders and turns to go upstairs. I roll my eyes and run after her to find something to occupy her. When I show up at her door, I am out of breath. She lays down on her bed to take a nap.

I walk over to the bookcase and search for a movie to put in. I find Aladdin and pushed the dvd in. I picked up the remote and skipped through all the boring commercials. Who even invented commercials anyways? Everyone hates them. When I finally get to the menu page I press play and set the remote down on her desk that is always pulled out from her bed.

I leave their room and skip downstairs. When I get there I see Avery cleaning up. "Are you going to explain what happened?" I ask while helping to clean up. "Well I heard this loud banging noise from downstairs and I came to investigate. I saw this guy and when he noticed I was there he ran out. I chased the person to figure out who it was," she answered.

"Are you crazy? You don't know who that could have been. For all you know he could've had powers," I react. Her eyes lit up, "He did have powers!" My eyes widened and I yelled, "That gives you more of a reason not to go after him!" She rolled her eyes, "You would have done the exact same thing." I sigh, "Touche."

"But look, he dropped something while fleeting away. Very much like a coward may I add." She reaches into her pocket and pulls out a card of some sort. She hands it to me and I examine it. It's an ID card with the name, "Trevor Moore." He is from a place that is the "Edison Facility." I hand it back to her and ask, "So, what do you want to do with this?" She simply replies, "Look it up," Then she gives a devilish look, "Investigate maybe." I nod and she uses her powers to set the couch back the way it was.
