Chapter 2
Carter's POV
I ran down the road in a hurry to get to a store, it would rain like hell soon, and I needed to get there as fast as possible. My headphones were on and blasting my ears with my choice of music, and I was bare footed, wearing shorts and a raggedy t-shirt. I shivered as the wind blew around me, for summer, it gets bitterly cold out when it rains.
'Come on... it's just a little ways more..' I thought to myself.
I signed in relief when I saw lights up ahead, signaling the convenience store and the gas station.
I quickly ran into the store and hunched over, panting heavily with my hands on my knees and. y head down.
"M-Miss..?" the store clerk called out to me.
"Yes?"
"Are you alright?" I heard the worry in her voice,
"Yes ma'am." I stood up straight and gave her a reassuring smile.
She gave me a simple nod and looked at the clock,"Oh six o'clock must you take so long go get here?" she sounded quite irritated.
I giggle and grabbed a basket from a stack of them, and walked towards the food aisle. I grabbed cat food, candy, potato chips, and a small toy for Link.
I out the basket on the counter,"If you don't mind me asking, will you be eating all of this alone?"
"Yeah.. I will be. I tend to eat a lot of food and I never have gained more than 90 pounds." I laughed slightly.
"That is so not fair! All I have to do is look at a potato chip and I gain a pound!" she giggled.
We both burst into a fit of laughter,"I see you also have a cat.." she rang up my food and typed something on a screen,
"More like a pain in my ass.."
She giggled and handed me my bags, "the total is nine dollars and thirty-eight cents."
I handed her a ten dollar bill,"Thanks." I walked towards the door,
"Come back again!" she called as I walked out into the rain.
Great. I spend almost five minutes in the rain and it starts pouring down.
Nature, why do you hate me?
I clutched the plastic bag into my chest and sprinted towards the house.
But not ten minute after I saw the wooden bench that was rotting away with someone sitting on it.
I stopped walking, it was too dark with the rain and the dark sky along with the trees keeping the bench hidden to make out there appearance.
Unlike any other 15 year old, I took out the bag of chips and two Hershey bars and held my hand out to them.
After all, they could be homeless, and poor.
They looked at the food in my hand, and gently took it and examined it, it was as if they were searching for a bomb to be ticking away with only 5 seconds left before it exploded.
I only gave them a small smile, and kept walking.
"Thank you!" I heard a faint yell above the pounding rain,
"You're welcome!" I yelled back at them.
----
I threw the bag on the couch and walked upstairs, I was soaked in water.
Link was curled up and asleep on my pillow, just as the same when I left.
I petted her head and she only purred in her light slumber.
I smiled and grabbed a towel from the bathroom, I dried my now damp hair, which now wasn't dropping raindrops everywhere.
I pulled off all of my clothes, and felt a very uneasy feeling,
I felt as if someone was.. watching.
I pulled the curtains shut in my room, and it made me feel slightly better.
I ran my fingers through the wet tangles in my hair and noticed Link was now awake, stretching her front legs out in front of her. I smiled, and sat on the bed, she rubbed up against my arm and purred, obviously wanting attention.
I patted her back and walked to the bathroom to brush my hair.
I picked up the wooden birch-colored handle, and heard Link hiss loudly and meow at a screeching tone.
She ran to the bathroom and her claws made contact on my my bare skin,"Ow ow ow ow!!" I shrieked.
I picked her up but she jumped down and ran back to my room.
I got this weird feeling to follow the cat, so I did.
Entering the room, I felt that uneasy feeling take over my body, I pulled on a pair of under armor shorts and a tank top,
Link crawled up into my arms and a flash of lightning lit up the sky. Then cane the loud boom of thunder, and the lights flickered off.
Each of my devices in my room showed static or a glitching screen.
I tensed and ran down the steps. Link hid her tiny head in my chest, and I knew that both of us were scared out of our minds.
I watched as the tv turned on, and a pure red screen appeared unlike the usual blue one that dies when the power goes out.
I had a feeling someone was screwing around with the electronics, but who could be doing all of thus at once?
I saw a line on the screen signaling someone was going to type something,
In my horror, I watched it type out slowly...
