Sparked (COMPLETED)

Chapter Fourteen

Luke

We walked until our legs burned. Our goal had been to find a payphone and call Vienna's number to figure out where she was. Unfortunately, there wasn't a town in sight.
My wounds still hurt, but apparently Bronwyn had take out the bullets. When I had thanked her, she waved it off like it was nothing. She's too humble for her own good.
Gosh, I love her.
Wait.
What?
"Can we please sit down?" Andrea begged. "My feet hurt." "My leg hurts, too," I said. "I was shot remember? But those people back there... they're probably looking for us right now. Who knows what weapons they have. Plus, we have to find Vienna and the others and make sure they're safe."
Andrea just looked at me. "I know. But my feet really hurt. Can we sit down, just for moment?"
Bronwyn stopped and stared at her. "Andrea, we are literally in the middle of nowhere. We have to keep moving so that we're not spotted and attacked."
Andrea sighed dramatically. "I'm going to die!"
"No, you're not," Bronwyn and I replied in unison. Andrea just kept complaining. She seemed to want to get out of the area, or just stop walking in the direction we were going. Ever since this blue jay started following us around, she's been freaking out. She claims she's afraid of them.
All of the sudden, the exact blue jay I was talking about flew straight at her face, pecking at her eyes, making her drop her gun. After Andrea finally pried the bird off of her face, which was now scarred, I noticed something different about my ex girlfriend.
She had no pupils.
Bronwyn cussed. "She's a wight that was wearing contacts."
Both girls scrambled for the gun. Andrea got to it first and put it to her head. My hands filled with electricity.
"Don't kill me, Lukas," Andrea said, her face twisted into a snarl. "Or I'll kill your girlfriend. And she'd better not struggle or I'll kill you."
Next, the unbelievable happened.
A super long lock of hair twisted itself around Andrea's neck and chocked her.
She went limp and dropped dead as the hair slithered away.
"Oh. My. Bird," Bronwyn said, bewildered. "That was the weirdest thing." I nodded. "You can say that again," I replied, helping her up. "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine. You?"
"Okay. A little weirded out, but okay."
A nine year old girl skipped over to us. She had hair that was the exact same color as the hair that killed Andrea. "You're welcome," She said with a smirk. "I can control my hair. Grow it to whatever length I want and make it do whatever I want. That's how I killed Pinky."
She was Peculiar.
She was dressed in a flapper dress from the twenties. "What's your name?" I asked. "Clarity," She replied, twirling a pigtail around her finger.
"I cannot believe I was dating a wight," I said, shaking my head. Clarity giggled. "You were dating Pinky? I thought she was your girlfriend." She nodded at Bronwyn. I smiled. "Not yet." Another kid also dressed in twenties clothing came over to stand by Clarity. He looked to be about fourteen. "I'm Elliot," He said, holding out his hand. I shook it. "Luke. And this is Bronwyn."
Bronwyn smiled. "What safe house do you come from? Was that Miss Blue Jay?" She asked. Clarity nodded perkily. "Yeah. She's getting dress behind a bush now."
"And she's finished," A voice said. We turned to see a middle aged woman with platinum blonde hair heading towards us. It was twisted up into the a fancy updo. She stopped in front of me. "You're him, aren't you?" She asked. "Lukas Blitz. Caul's son."
I told her I was.
"And your friend?"
"I'm Bronwyn Bruntley."
"Show me your peculiarity."
Bronwyn walked into the woods. She emerged a moment later carrying a boulder that a normal fifteen year old wouldn't have a been able to lift.
Then, she hurled it back into the trees. "Is that enough proof?" She called, heading back towards us. Miss Blue Jay smiled. "Yes, dear. Allow me to introduce myself. I am-"
"We already did that," Clarity interrupted.
Miss Blue Jay ignored her. "I am Miss Catherine Blue Jay, ymbryne of the The Salzburg Safe House For Peculiar Children. If we're to help you, children, we must set off now. We have quite a ways to go."
