Charter Two: The Group

As it turns out the eldest boy name was Louis Sinclair. He was cocky (but I was cockier), and spoke fluent french. He had a younger sister in the group named Gabrielle Sinclair. She was sweet for an underground, too sweet. It would get her hurt. Then there was Miguel Sanchez. He had dark skin with baggy oily black hair. He was quiet, but seemed cool enough. Lastly, there was Grace Becker. She was kinda rude and untrusting, but that keeps you alive.

"So, where is your family?", Louis asked me. "That's none of your concern.", I said my voice stern and steady, "Yours?". "Gabby and I were the results of a military officer 'arresting' a hooker. I'm 13, she's 7. Our mother kicked us out", he said laughing. It doesn't seem to bother him in the slightest., I thought to myself. "When did she kick y'all out?", I asked. If they get mad they can get over it. They didn't have to tell me, I thought to myself. "A little over a year ago.", Gabrielle answered. "What about you?", I asked Miguel. "Ran away a couple months back.", he answered quietly. I like Miguel, I decided. "How old are you?", I asked. "I'm 13 same as Louis, but I'm about 6 months younger.", He answered. I looked at Grace. "My story is none of your concern.", She said flatly.

"So, you live on your own huh? Must be pretty scary...", Gabrielle asked me. "I never said that.", I said sternly. I have become a pretty good liar, if I can lie to them and make them think I have a group then I might can get out of this situation without friends, I thought to myself. "So, you do have a group?", Louis asked me cocking an eyebrow. "Yes.", I said staring him in the eye. "And they are probably getting worried about me as we speak. So I'm leaving.", I said grabbing my share of the money I blackmailed them into giving me.

The walk home was short and quiet. I wonder if Nathaniel is home... Probably not, I thought to myself. It's stupid to keep hoping he's alive, when I know he's not. I can take care of myself. I don't need anyone. When, I arrived home, I took a bath and went to sleep.

"YOU FUCKING BITCH! HOW MANY GUYS HAVE YOU SLEPT WITH THESE WEEK? 10? 20? I BRING AN INCOME INTO THIS HOUSE AND THIS IS THE RESPECT I GET?!", Father yelled. He grabbed my mother and slammed her into the ground. He grabbed a knife and stabbed her. Nathaniel pulled me and we ran far away. Until, he turned to me and said "Oh... (Y/N)... I hope you won't miss me...". Then black blood began to pour from his eyes and his skin turned gray. I turned and ran from the grotesque sight. I stopped in my tracks. My mother began to crawl to me. "(Y/N) why didn't you save me?".

I woke up screaming. Sweat was running from my forehead and I kicked the covers off of me. "It's morning anyways.", I said slowly getting out of bed. I went to get something to eat, but sighed as nothing was there. "I guess it's time to spend that money I got.", I counted the money. I had 22$ (idk the currency they use TwT. I'm sorry) to spend on food and rent. Rent is 200$ a month, so I'll have to get a job. Up until now, I've been stealing but that can only go so far., I thought to myself, wondering how I'm gonna pay for everything this month. Oh well, I might as well go get some food for now. Then I'll look for a job that doesn't involve selling my body, I planned for they day.

I decided to walk to the market. There, I can buy some bread, milk, and some vegetables. "(N/N)! Great to see ya!", Louis said smiling, as he ran up to me. Great... "My name is (Y/N). Not (N/N).", I said cringing at the nickname. "Where's your family?", He asked me, completely ignoring what I said. "I prefer to come here alone.", I said to him, while turning to walk away. "Awwee.. (N/N) don't leave. We can walk together!", He said happily. He's too happy. It's fucking annoying., I thought to myself. "You and I, we aren't friends. Stop acting like we are.", I said staring him in the eye, daring him to say something. "Whatever...", He said looking hurt. I don't care.
At the end of the day, I found 3 job opportunities that I could do. The first one being a nanny for 4 young kids. I'm not exactly the patient type though.. The second one being a hired pianist. I remember how Mom taught Nathaniel and I how to play. He sucked and gave up, but I got very good at it. The memory made smile. Lastly, the third being a baker at a bakery. I could work part time at the bakery, and be a pianist to hire too. That way I could bring in more money. Of course, I'm still going to have to steal on the side. At least this way, I won't be solely relying on thieving., I thought. To be honest, I was quite proud of myself for creating this plan. I mean I'm still only 11 years old. I'm still a kid.

Due to the fact that I was still out, and not in my apartment, I took advantage of the situation and decided to go on a walk. This is kind of a dumb idea since I'm a little girl living in the Underground, I thought to myself. I kept my chin up and walked confidently with my bag of food close to my side. This was a trick I learned from Nathaniel, people are less likely to attack if you seem powerful and strong. I suddenly heard some yelling from the Military Police. Since when do they get involved?. I thought to myself taking note of the fact they were chasing somebody. I'd better hurry home, so I don't get involved. I thought, quickening my steps. "They stole our ODM gear!", One yelled. That's when I noticed a group of teens zipping through the air. "Crazy fuckers.", I said quietly laughing.

After I arrived home, I concluded that tomorrow I would go try to get these jobs. As of right now though, I need sleep. And probably an attitude adjustment so I don't make my employer mad, I thought to myself. I giggled at the thought of me getting in trouble. Mom would find it hilarious. I tried to fight sleep, but eventually I drifted off into a deep slumber.

Yo! Hi guys.. It's me. I want to apologise for ya know not posting for over a month. But I know this chapter was sort of a filler, and I promise it's getting somewhere UwU. I'm also gonna try starting a set update schedule for every Saturday or every other Saturday. Libra is gonna keep me in check, so don't worry about that XD. Have a great day or night y'all!!
