The Darkest Minds (my way)

5~ The Slip Kid

I woke up the next day to... LIAM FUCKING PUTTING HIS ARM AROUND MY WAIST?! ABORT ABORT!  Was I drunk or something? How did this happen? 

"Um, Liam?" I said nudging his arm. He awoke and immediately took his arm off of my waist... like thanks.... 

"Oh! Um sorry.." I just laughed. 

"Its ok." He smiled back at me, the feeling in my chest came back........ GO AWAY I HATE YOUUUUU! 

"Um y/n are you ok?" I looked in his pretty eyes, i mean, ugly eyes. 

"Y-yea of course...." I replied, just then the door to the tent was ripped open by char- by chubs.

"COME ON LOVERS TIME TO GET UP!" MY face turned a bright shade of TOMATO.  

"Ah god." I said getting up, once me and Liam were out of the tent we talked to the people there. 

"Yes, sir Grumpy we will leave today." I said rolling my eyes. He grunted again at me. 

"Just be careful." He told us.

"Careful is my middle name." I laughed but stopped when I tripped over an empty can. 

"Next to clumsy I  guess." Liam said smirking, I went up to him and whisper into his ear, 

"You really wanna play that way Mr. Liam?" I looked at him, he nodded at me still smirking and crossed his arms over his chest. 

"TIME TO GO FIND THE SLIP KID!!!" I screamed running away from Liam. We all got in the damn van. Damn van. Tehe that rhymes. This time Liam drove and I was in the passenger seat, we drove for a while but then stopped at a VERY familiar place.  I looked at Liam with wide eyes.

"L-liam what are we doing here?" I stuttered. 

"If you want you can go see your family, we will wait here just in case." He told me, I smiled, leaned over, quickly kissed his cheek than ran away to my old house, I looked back slightly, seeing Liam touching his cheek, smiling, while Chubs was talking to him, laughing. I ran until I reached the house, peering inside the front door I saw my mom cooking, I looked at the  pictures on the wall and a specific one caught my eye. The one my dad took on the day of my tenth birthday. Were I was sitting in my bed, leaning my head on my moms shoulder while my dad was laughing. Only one problem. 

I wasn't in the picture 

Tears burned in my eyes as I ran back to the van only to see Chubs and Zu tied up to the side of the van, I ran to the  front to see Liam pinned down by a woman, Lady Jane. 

"WHERE IS THE GIRL?!" She screamed at him. He clenched his jaw not wanting to tell her.

"I'm right here, let Liam go." I called. She looked over at me and got off of Liam, walking to me. 

"No! Y/n!" I sent a small smile to him.

"Its alright Liam." I told him crossing my arms over my chest. Lady Jane walks closer to me but I stop her, with my mind. 

"You will walk." I said, "You will walk forever, no matter how tired, hungry, or thirsty you are, you wont stop." She begins to walk away, while Liam gets up, I help Zu and Chubs out, the thought of losing them now is killing me on the inside. Tears still stinging my eyes I started to walk back to the van when Liam said, 

"No, we have to leave her, that's why Lady Jane found us." I nodded and walked to the others. Liam and we walked side to side as we talked about the SHFK and who the slip kid was. We kept laughing with each other walking until we saw the words on the ground, SHFK, a whole group of people in armor, with guns surrounded us, 

"HANDS UP, STATE WHO YOU ARE!" They yelled. I just rolled my eyes and crossed my hands over my chest, but still I said,

"Y/n, Y/n King." They squinted their eyes at my name then someone said, 

"Stand down they are kids, The slip kid will want to see them." I narrowed my eyes, too bad for them, I don't want to see someone who wants to see me.   Still I walked with them, i'm not stupid. We walked in a hut like house, to the back of a guy with blonde hair, he turned around and smiled at us, we all gasped, minus the kids that took us to him. It was none other than
