Well after maybe a hour or two of running through rough trees and stepping on sharp sticks we find a nice little shrub under a tree that makes for a pretty comfy house. This whole life outside was amazing and I had missed so much.. Every animal you could imagine was here, and watching us with daggers. It was beautiful!
Now the only question that remained was if Cript was still alive? The upstairs was already swallowed up in flames when I came bolting out of my room. Who knows if the nut case got out alive or not. I did what I could to get everyone out, not my fault.
"Thanks.." Iiot says low as he appears from the trees that I wasnt even paying attention to, like a mist actually.
I stutter at my response, feeling as if something here was off. This whole scene is off. Two kids by thereselves almost 10 miles away from their home.. There is 4 of us and we are split now, which never means good. Expecially for kids who can only explain how the tv works let alone how to survive.
"No problem.." I say as I pull a ember from my shirt and set it on a pile of tender that I had rounded up earlier.
Iiot and I never had much of a connection when it comes to family. He is nothing to me, hes just there.
He watches the surroundings with scared eyes, we both do. This is all new to us.. We have no clue what we are doing or even where we are going. Pisces would have us all beat, shes a mainer they have the talent to survive. Call it a born instinct if you want..
We quietly make camp under the shrub, so we have some camoflage from predators. I may have not stepped outside one day in my life but this gives a girl alot of time to read up on what all it holds. I read many survival books by survivalists out in different terrains and personally I think we can do it. We just need weapons and a stable home, which doesnt sound like a good chance.
It keeps coming to me that Cript knew just what was going to happen, thats why he told me. I pull the chain from my jeans pocket to see that it was just the way I put it in there. I stare at its gold reflection. Its hiding something..
Even when my jeans were on fire, not even a mark was left on the precious chain. Why did he give it to me?
It hits me that Im staring and Iiot is staring at me..
"So whats the plan?" he asks as he moves the sticks in the fire , as it sends sparks into the air.
I just shrug and walk to the treeline and gather more sticks, I hate serious moments with people. They make me feel all awkward, not like the awkward you get when your friend fandomly strips in a room, but the awkward you get when someone sees your trying to ignore them. Both are pretty awkward if you ask me..
"You cant do this alone Warren.. Life doesnt work that way," Iiot starts as he comes to join me as I throw the sticks on the fire and sit down on a fallen tree, " Thats why we are here. We may not be your favorite people on Earth but we can protect you. We are a team.. No matter how much you hate that idea. Any of us would risk our life for yours."
Iiot always found ways to just tick me off but made me actually think about what he was saying. He made sense but I didnt want to listen. I roll my eyes and start poking the fire with a long stick I found in the woods, I hate this.. Like with a passion.
"Okay..Okay. I get it. Shut up Iiot." he says as he makes his way to the shrub we were calling home for now, " Warren.. Normals not all its cracked up to be."
Then he disapears into the brush. Normal is all I ever wanted. I didnt ask to live with with a freaky scienctist that creates kids without a wife.. For pete's sake this isnt the Power Puff girls. I hate knowing that I might not have a purpose in life.. Or do I? Something to think about?
