Awakened

Here we go.

We walk down the sidewalk, glancing at the empty houses all around us. They are like a simple shell, incasing a hidden past that one can only dream to have come back to life and pull them back to the simple life that they once held so dearly in their hearts."what are ya lookin at???hmmm?"the sound of curiosity bouncing from jasmine's voice brings me back to reality."uhh,i like the window"i stare at her after saying that as though i'm serious. Then the small giggle of a sweet pixie comes out as though it was the funniest thing she heard,"It's just a window dummy!"she says as she begins to calm down,i just smile at her because i like seeing her laugh.It makes me forget for just a moment that something bad has happend,and all is right in our life.We continue walking about 3 more blocks when i hear it,the sound of an engine,i know this might sound weird but,i know the engine sound and its not a good one.I look at jasemine,which is totally oblivious as usual"Hey lets check inside that house over there,isn't it pretty"i say as i point towards a nice white house with grey roof shingles,what particularly makes it stand out are the flowers planted alonside the house. I knew this would catch her eye,she loves flowers,"ummm how bout yes"she says as she have drags me toward it, the engine is getting louder i have to hurry.

I suddenly pull her up into my arms and rush inside the house(most houses are unlocked due to the law enforcements busting through),she twists and turns a little but soon realizes the concern on my face. She stops frozen like a popsicle just tooken out of a cooler. We crouch under one of the front windows so i could occasionally look too see if the cost was clear,which it was not. One of the governments vehicles slowly turned the corner and drove on by like nothing, which is odd because they usually get out and walk around the houses. I sigh and sit on the floor next to jasemine to calm down,"you just wanted to look at the window didn't you?"a hint of sarcasm comes from her voice and makes me calm,i look at her smilling face and kiss her forehead"it is a nice window is it not?"she laughs hysterically and brings tears to her eyes.

All ove a sudden i hear a rumble comeing from jasmine,"oops"she says innocently. She is already hungry again,what a fatty"well let's find somewhere we can raid for food,you little monster"i watch as her face lights up than suddenly changes to a scowl"HEY!,I'm not a monster!",i smile and hold her hand as we walk out the door. We are just crossing the street when i hear it again and so does jasemine,the sound of an engine,but this time it's coming faster.
