Maisie POV...
We came up on a busy street and had no choice but to run one at a time across it. I'd hope that the honking of when I ran last across the street would tick Ripper off and distract him.
It worked. I ran across the street, and an angry woman stepped out of her car and grabbed my shoulder.
"CHILD I COULD'VE HIT YOU! BE WAY MORE CAREFUL YOU LITTLE BRAT!" The woman said.
"I don't think you should say that..." I said.
"Oh yeah, and why is that?" The woman replied.
"Because this'll happen..." I said before slapping the woman in the face and kneeing her in the stomach three times so she would let me go.
I backed away slowly as she held her stomach in pain, and I looked behind her and saw Ripper as he slowly stomped out of the darkness into a street lamp. The street lamp was about two feet from the woman.
"Lady you might want to run!" I said.
"And why is that?" She asked, gasping after every word.
I replied by pointing over her shoulder. The woman slowly turned around to see the most terrifying sight of her life, It was so terrifying she almost fainted. I watched as she fumbled around for a moment before Ripper grabbed her arm with his hand and threw her into the street lamp above him, breaking it along with the woman's spine.
"HOLY CRAP!" I yelled as I turned around and started running.
Ripper roared behind me as I ran.
"RUN!" Owen yelled.
"CAN'T YOU SEE WE'RE ALREADY RUNNING?!" I snapped.
Ripper jumped over me before trying to grab me as I rolled in between his legs to escape. I saw a tiny shop, made of brick, that the others were running towards. I looked behind me to see Ripper staring at it before running off, smiling.
"Don't go into the shop... It's a trap..." I whispered. "DON'T GO INTO THE SHOP! IT'S A TRAP!" I, then yelled.
"What?!" Rain turned around and said as the others stopped and turned around with him.
I looked on the roof of the tiny shop to see claws grasping the edge.
"RUN!!" I yelled.
Rain turned around to see Ripper, and screamed. Ripper jumped onto Rain before grasping his head in his hand before Kara came along and swooped Ripper off of him. I started running toward Rain before feeling like I was in a video game because of all the chaos.
Suddenly, Ripper slammed into the street lamp I was next to before looking at me. He roared at me and was about to jump on me if Kara hadn't come along and jumped on his back.
"RUN, MAISIE!" Rain yelled as he was getting up from the ground. I ran towards him and was able to help him up before Kara accidentally slammed her tail into our legs, tripping us.
"NO, MAISIE, STAY DOWN!" Rain said.
"NO WAY!" I replied as I stood up and grabbed Rain's hand to help him up.
Suddenly, a man and a woman came out of the shop with guns ablazing.
"Don't shoot the white dinosaur or the velociraptor!" I yelled.
"Will do, kid!" The girl said as she continued to fire her tommy gun.
I knew that Kara, Blue and the guns all at once was weakening Ripper, because he ran back the way we came from.
"Take that you little chicken!" The man said before turning his attention to Rain and I.
"Where'd you guys come from?" He asked.
"I'm so confused I don't even know..." I told him.
"Come into the shop. I'll give you and your friends that are hiding behind that dumpster over there some hot cocoa." The man said.
"What's your name?" Rain asked.
"I'm Carter. This is my girlfriend, Kat!" Carter said.
"Claire, Owen-" I was interrupted.
"Do Claire and Owen happen to be Claire Dearing and Owen Grady?" Carter asked.
"Indeed so! Why?" I answered.
"HOLY CRAP!" Kat and Carter said before immediately running toward the dumpster Owen, Claire, Lexi, and Alli were behind.
Rain and I saw Kat hug Claire, Owen hug Kat, Carter shake hands with Owen and then Claire hug Carter.
Claire, Owen, Alli, Lexi, Carter and Kat went over to the door of the shop and went in, leaving Rain and I outside.
"Well... that was rude of them..." Rain said.
"What was rude?" I asked turning around to face him.
"They just went inside the shop without even inviting us in!"
"They invited us in before they invited Owen, Claire, Lexi and Alli!" I laughed.
"Whatever! Let's just go in!" Rain said.
