Ch. 8
“What do you want!, Jared!.” I yell.
“This isn’t Jared.” He says.
And I can tell it isn’t Jared cause this man has a deeper voice than Jared.
I open the door and he has a gun in his hand. I start to scream.
“Scream any louder or move farther away you’ll both be dead.” He says.
I slowly move back and I do this on purpose so that the other men will hear the gun shot even if it means i’m dead.
“I told you not to move!” He demanded. As he points the gun towards Char but then I scream “No!, your a ...” I got interrupted. I heard a gun shot. I wondered if I was dead, but I felt my arm and I wasn’t. “You’ll pay.” he said. Then he fell to the ground.
And behind him was Jared. I run up to him jumping over the dead man’s body. “Thank you, for saving us!” I say. Jumping up to hug him.
“We have been looking for that man forever, and you finally caught him.” He thanks me. “I’ve never used a gun before, I’m new at this.” He says laughing.
Char starts to laugh back at him. “Go on Char get you stuff.” I say laughing and joking.
Char runs out. I’m still in his arms. I start to move away but then he kisses me as if he can’t help himself. But, I realize that i’m only 15 and I can’t date until i’m 16. I was a light kiss. And I brush away moving toward Nick’s room as I peak back in my room door. “Sorry, I got to go.” I say and walk out of the room to Nick's room.
“Hey Nick got everything packed?” I ask.
“No not yet.” He replies. “ I’m only 7 ya know, I could use some help.”
“Okay I’ll help you.” I say.
We finish packing his things. Everything he has in his room that is left is his bed. Nick has lots of things cause ya know 7 year olds love toys.
I see Jared come through the hall with my other bags. “Thanks” I yell to him as he walks down the hall and he just nods his head. I watch Jared put my things in the mini bus vehicle.
“It looks really small from the outside Nick, but I bet you its bigger on the inside.” I say poking him on the arm.x0
“Yah!” He says jokingly.
Another man comes up to Nick’s room and he takes Nick’s 4 bags.
“Man Nick, how much stuff do you need!” I asked shocked.
“Oh just all my important stuff like toys. Who needs clothes?” He says jokingly.
“Did you really?” I ask.
“Yep!” He replied.
“Did you pack your clothes?” I say.
“Yes!” He says.
“Every last thing?” I ask.
“Yes Mom!, every last thing!” He say sarcastically.
“Ok let’s go see how the twins are doing!” I say as I punch him playfully.
We run down the hall swerving the men. Then I see Jared.
“We have to go soon.” He says.
I turn around and say “Okay we’ll be right there.”
“How are you guys doing?” I ask.
“Good!” they said in unison.
“Ok good get your things and let’s go!” I say.
I collect my phone and other personal things into my bag along with my computer in its case. We all pack into the mini bus vehicle. It’s huge like a private jet, huge. Jared sat next to me.
“Sorry about what I said to you.” He said.
“ ‘bout what?” I ask.
“Calling you an orphan.” he says.
“It’s fine i’m sorry too.” I say.
“For what?” he asks.
“ Yelling at you and I never knew you were an orphan.” I say. “How old were you?”
“I was 5.” he said.
He stands up and walks away leaving me by myself, all alone.
My brother Nick comes in and asks me “ Where are we going?”
“I don’t know?” I reply.
It’s been 4 hours now. Where could we possibly be going. We stand up and walk around. I see Jared in his own room. “Happy Early Birthday.” He said.
“Thanks.” I say questioning him. “ How’d you know?”
“This,” he said holding up a paper.
“Nick go see where the twins are.” I say.
I walk in. He holds out the paper. I take it from him. I see all my info on the paper.
“Where did you get all these?” I ask seeing all my siblings papers.
“The orphanage, I took them.” he said.
“Okay, awkward?” I say.
I give them back to him. But, before I do that I take a pen out of my pocket and write my number on it.
“Here.” I say.
As I walk away I go to my sisters’ room. I ask them if they are ok. They tell me “ Yah this is the best day of my life well besides moving but yah.”
I go to check on my brother, but people are in his room. I push my way through the crowd and yell “WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON!?!?!?” I’m glad I took the gun from the guy before I left. I shot at the ceiling. “Move!, I wanna see my brother.”
I see him and one of the men fighting. He pushes my brother onto the ground. I go to punch the guy but he barely misses to punch me then Jared probably heard the gun fire and came running in. He punches the man in the stomach and pushes Nick towards me.
Then I see this nasty looking creature evolving from the man, green, slimy, almost unreal like, but real. I grab Nick and he gets on my back and I run back to my room with Nick and I slam the door behind me locking it.
