Chapter 15

After that we sat and talked a little about our powers and if we have noticed anything else weird lately. Izzie said she had been hearing more clearly. Then cory said he had to and so had I

"so that is probably another power that we have" I announced.

"Can we stop calling them powers that sounds really stupid" Cory complanded.

"Well what would you like to call them?" I replied.

"how about skills it doesn't sound so alien and superheroish."

"ok fine" I agreed.

Then we got back to talking about things that have been different and Izzie says that she thinks so one followed us here. then she said and I think they are right outside. we got really quiet when she said that.

"do you know if they are good or bad Izzie?" Cory asks

"Well I don't think they are here to sell us cookies" I reply sarcastically.

"sorry I just wanted to know if they were someone we need to worry about, or not."

right then the doorbell rang, we jumped my gosh the doorbell is loud

"Should we get the door, or not?"Cory frantically asks.

" I guess we do because they saw us come in and know we did not leave" I replied.

" we could leave... follow me"

We all ran down the stairs to a basement like space. Right then we heard the doorbell again and then the door brake and foot steps. after that yelling

"Come out, Come out wherever you are"chills ran down my spin all the way to my toes

"we know you are in here fine if you won't come out we will find you." voices shout from above.

"Search every room don't stop until you find them"

"Yes sir", Many voices reply but not human voices they sounded almost robot like.

Then foot steps run around the house like a bunch of mice scurrying looking for cheese in old abandoned house.we followed Cory to a door with 3 looks on it all locked each needs a key.

"Are you kidding, we need to pick them, here I will get this one Izzie you do this one and Emerald you do this one, ok. Do you guys remember what we Learned from that class in 6th grade?"

"yep" Izzie and I reply at the same time

"Ok get working"

we all are working when all of a sudden we hear, "Did you guys see this door before? Has anyone gone through it?"

"No, take a troup and go down there, if you see them yell and we will all come down"

"Ok" the same robot like voice replies

"HURRY!" We all whisper to each other as we frantically try to pick all the locks. we can hear the footsteps coming down the stairs. Then yelling they see us. We finally got the door open and before we closed and locked the door we looked at therobot/human things chasing us. Then we shut the door.

"what was that!" Izzie shreakes

"we can find out later this door won't hold them for long we need to go, NOW!" I reply

"your right lets go" Cory agrees

"now, where does this lead?" I ask

"well... umm..." Cory stubbles

"DON'T TELL ME YOU DON'T KNOW!" I scream

"well... I know it leads out of the house I just don't know where" he replies nerviously

"ok, how do you know it leads out and is not just a dead end?" I question

"My parents and I had to use it when I was young some thing came into our house and it tried to kill me so they grabbed me and ran through here we ended up outside but I was to young to recognize where we were"

"ok we need to go they are probably close to getting through that door"

"You're right. This way"

we all ran down the long dark under ground hall. then there was a fork in the path either left or right.

"which way should we go?" I ask Cory.

"Lets try the left way and if it is a dead end then the other" cory says

"genius Inever thought of tring on then if it does not work to try the other oh my gosh",I said sarcasticly.

At the end of the left hall there was a ladder up to a hatch. We all climbed up the ladder to the small landing between the ladder and the hatch. when we all got up, we slowly lifted the hatch a crack to see where we were we looked through the small opening and saw the living room around us. the living room of our house most of the robot/human things were still down stairs trying to get the door open. but the others are still up here keeping an eye on everything above ground. we made a mental note that the hatch was there and closed it. one at a time we went back down the ladder and back down the hall to the fork in the road. we took the right side this time. as we are walking down the hall Izzie asks, what the robot things were. which of course I didn't really have an answer to. all I knew was they were part robot and it would not be good to let them catch us. but as the leader it is weakness to show that I don't know what they are and where they came from. but i need to say something.

"They looked part robot and they were trying to hurt us so... Lets call them destroyers" I reply without giving away that i didn't know what they were.

"Ok" Izzie replies happily satisfied

which was gladly the end of that discussion if it would have kept going I don't know what I would have said.
