The Crazy Mixed-Up Life of Crystal Carson (If that is her real name...)

Chapter 9

KARINA'S POV

As it turns out all the Thunderman's, especially Max, love me! Next week I will be getting the rest of my stuff from the foster home and I will be living with the Thunderman's!

*SKIPPING TO NEXT TUESDAY*

MAX'S POV

As we pulled up to Karina's 'Foster Home', I examined it. It looked old and run down. The outside walls were covered in vines and moss. The roof looked as if it hadn't been repaired in years. The cement stairs were cracking. I looked at Karina.

ME: "Are you sure this is the place Karina?"

KARINA: "Yes. I I'm sure. I don't want to go in alone. They will hurt me! That's why I left in the first place!"

PHEOBE: "That's why Billy, Nora, Max, and I are all going in with you. Mom & Dad are backup if we need them."

KARINA: "No! I need you and Nora to stay here with your parents, Phoebe. Billy can go, but only because he has the speed to get in and get out. Max is going because if I need help he can be there for me."

After me, Billy, and Karina got out of the Thunder Mobile (the family car), Karina told everyone the plan.

ME: "Okay Phoebs, if we aren't back in 30 minutes, bring in back up."

I looked at Karina.

ME: "You ready?"

She nodded.

KARINA: "Let's go boys. And be careful."

KARINA'S POV

I grabbed Max's hand and with Billy right beside us, I knocked on the old door. 2 minutes later the door opened and a middle-aged woman will expensive looking clothes stood in the doorway.

LADY: "What do you wa...CRYSTAL! YOU LITTLE BITCH! I HAVE BEEN LOOKING EVERYWHERE FOR YOU! AND WHO THE F*** ARE THESE UGLY LITTLE BEASTS?!"

ME: "Hello Ms. Virginia. This is..."

MS. VIRGINIA: "NEVER MIND THAT! GET YOU ASSES IN HER RIGHT THIS MINUTE! PETER GET IN HERE AND SHOW THE NEW ORPHANS AROUND! Thank you Crystal for bringing 2 new recruits to help with the cleaning!"

ME: "Ms. Virginia, I am not here to stay and these to are not orphans!"

MS. V: "HOW DARE YOU BACK MOUTH ME!!!"

She grabbed me and threw me across the room. The children that were already in the room froze.

MAX: "Billy find rope. Tie the witch up! I'll help Karina."

???: "And I will gather the kids!"

ME: "Phoebe! Thank you! Max please!"

BILLY: "Tied up the witch."

PHOEBE: "Billy go fill mom and dad in on the situation. I'll gather the girls."

NORA: "And I'll get the boys!"
