Phoenix's POV:
I can't believe there making me do this. It's infuriating. I have to go live with another family, and act like nothing is wrong. They'll know I'm in witness protection, and they're trained on how to deal with this kind of stuff, but I don't care.
I want to stay home with my Mom and Dad, can't they just put a body guard outside our door or something?
I also learned I'm 'under no circumstances to contact anyone from my life back in New York' and that includes my parents.
So let's get this straight, I'm supposed to go live with a bunch of strangers for god know how long, till they catch the people that wanted to take me, even if it was just a coincidence.
After we got out of the elevator, which took a really long time, we went to a hotel near the edge of town. Once Mom got there I told them the whole story, from getting off the phone with Dad and seeing that creepy guy, to getting in the elevator with Dad.
My parents seemed to stiffen up when I mentioned the brownish blonde haired guy with a scar on his eye. I asked them about it, but they denied it. Now I know something's up with that guy, they must know him from somewhere.
"Phoenix are you ready?" My Mom asks, bringing me out of my thoughts.
I scoff," ready as I'll ever be," then angrily zip up my suite case, grab it, and stomp out of the room. I want them to know I'm one hundred percent against this.
I heard Mom sigh behind me, her soft footfalls close behind me, this was the last time I was going to see them, till all of this crap was sorted out.
There was a lady I've never seen before standing at the doorway, she looked like an ordinary person, chestnut hair up in a bun, and lively blue eyes. She was dressed in a simple red turtle neck shirt, and blue jeans that had a rip in the knee.
"Looks like we're all ready to go" she chirps, as if this is an everyday thing.
My resolve almost crumbles when I look at my parents, but I manage to keep the tears at bay, for now.
I run into my Moms open arms, and I can feel Dad wrapping his arms around the both of us," I don't wanna leave" I whisper in a last ditch effort to stay.
It didn't work. Five minutes later and I'm on the road to the airport, with miss happy driving, right beside me.
"Your going to a place in Florida, you'll find out what town when we get there" she informed me, being oh so secretive about where I'm going.
"Why can't you tell me where I'm going?" I snapped, not wanting to deal with this right now.
She ignored my rude tone and continued on, as if nothing was wrong, " Its the rules."
Of course it was the rules, why wouldn't it be, I thought bitterly.
"The family you'll be living with has a young boy about your age, he's seventeen? If I remember correctly. He lives with his Mother, his father passed away a couple of years ago, I think you two will get along really well..." she continued her rambling, seriously reminding me of Nudge.
I didn't even get to tell her goodbye... or Iggy, Angel, and Gazzy. I'm going to miss everyone. What's Dianna going to think? That I'm so heartless to just up and leave her without saying goodbye? I'm her best friend, I should have been able to say goodbye. All of this is just so stupid.
"We're here," the to happy voice of Rose chirped, and yes, her name is Rose.
"Oh joy.." I sarcastically mumbled under my breath, taking in the scenery of the small airport I was brought too. My flight would take almost two hours, so I'd arrive around 8:00 pm, plus however far my new 'family' house is.
I say family, because I'm supposed to tell that to anyone who asks me, the Mother is supposed to be my auntie , meaning the boy is my cousin. Not like I care, but I'll follow the rules so I don't cause anyone to get hurt.
Rose said she'd be on the flight with me, and take me to their house, but after that we'll part ways. I won't see her until it's time to go back home.
Home... I'm still extremely pissed at Mom and Dad for making me do this. There FBI agents for crying out loud. Why do they have to send me away to be protected? Can't they pay someone to guard the house, or have Iggy stay with me?
They're going to get a piece of my mind when I get back. Which I hope is soon.
Rose finally quieted down, she hasn't said anything to me since we entered the airport except handing me my passport and telling me what I had to do with it. Not like I didn't know how to use a passport....
I was a little nervous when we first took off, this was the first time in a long time that I've been in a plane, but it was the very first time I've traveled without my Mom or Dad. That's what scared me most.
What if I never see them again? What if I get found and taken? No that's ridiculous, it was just a coincidence. Right? Something told me it wasn't, but I pushed those thoughts out of my mind, and decided to get some rest while I could.
~~~~
Someone was shaking me, ugh I don't want to go to school," five more minutes..." I mumble, swatting at the person shaking me.
I was shoved out of my... chair? What? Then everything came rushing back to me, the creepy scar faced man, the guy in my room, me being forced to leave my family.
I glared daggers at an apologetic looking Rose, but sighed when I realized she's only doing her job, I don't need to take my anger out on her.
Grabbing my backpack from the luggage compartment, we made our way out of the plane. I was surprised to find that Rose had a car waiting for us there. How it got there, will forever be a mystery to me.
Taking a deep breath, I got in the little red car. Time to start my new life.
