Runaway Thoughts

Emerald

I had no time to explain, they were coming. I could just feel it. The atmosphere had thickened and it was harder to breath all of a sudden. We could just make out small voices. At least two men, and to my surprise a woman's voice, high pitched and a little hoarse. It was a gang, no woman has ever been an officer. I don't know why but they never accepted any woman's application. It was like they thought men were the strongest and smartest. But that was not the case, that one cop I faced outside was indeed very stupid. As we ran it felt like old times, when my sister and I would run our little hearts out going to school. If we could survive back then with just each other, then we could survive now. So we ran our hearts out again. My sister and I got outside the house when about four people blocked our way, three of which I had heard from above us.

"Well....looky here, we got ourselves a couple of runaways!"Growled one of the men. They had a small western punkish accent. While looking at their clothing, I observed their clothing, they had many holes, and their jeans....well...they were riding low on them. My mother would hurt my brother if he ever went in public wearing clothing like that.

"Where are your mother's boys? Do they not know how much trouble you're making." I asked, very confident.

"What about yours?" The lady snarked. She was the shortest of them all, but I would bet she was their alpha. She picked up a piece of colored paper, " There's a family looking for you," She spat out.

I looked at the paper, it had some information on us including our names, birthday,age, and our picture. The picture had two girls sitting side by side. They had very thick and dark brown hair, tanish skin, and rosy cheeks. The girls were both wearing christmas sweaters and small smiles. "So what?" I spat back, looking away from the paper.

"Soo....there's a big reward for whoever brings you back to the government." A tall blonde guy piped up. Though I wouldn't be surprised if he was actually a girl, since his voice was so high pitched.

" What kind of reward?" Garnet commanded.

"500 big ones." Replied the tall guy again.

I would have snorted up a glass of milk if I had one, "Really? That's all? I thought we would of been worth more. Oh well, I guess you can't have everything." I blabbered, distracting them. In case you haven't noticed, I like to escape, more or less. Escaping would be my superpower if I didn't have one already. If you have any ideas please share them now! I screamed inside my head.

No need to yell! Obviously I haven't, if I had I would have told you. She muttered. Yay! I have no plan yet and they were coming closer.

"Get em!" The girl hissed. They two guys on the left grabbed me, the other grabbed my sister. When they got us in the van, the vehicle started and we were off. The people in the front were conversing.

What now! I questioned.

Oh....I know, maybe I could fake getting car sick and you and I could get away when they let us out!

"Brilliant!" I exclaimed .

Before I realised I said that aloud, the girl in front piped up, "What's Brilliant?"

"Nothing!" We both muttered.
