The Forbidden Children

2: The Fight Begins

November 8th, 8018

Fiona POV

No one moved, no one breathed, and no one wanted to see who was on the other side of that door. Everyone was already on edge from not being safely hidden for the first time in their life. Now with everyone being here but Dylan, the odds are not in our favor.  

I got up slowly and quietly while scanning the faces that surrounded me.

Ralph was also getting up using the wall as support so he wouldn't put pressure on the creaking floor.

Kadyn was sitting up with his arms crossed. His squinting eyes were directed towards the window that was covered with blinds and blankets for extra precaution. 

Jaanai and Jack were laying down, but doing everything but sleeping.

Simon was looking at Ralph intently to see what our next course of action was.

Alex was playing with her nails while fidgeting like crazy, Hunter was across from her trying to remain calm for everyones sake. 

Tate was staring at the ceiling, probably thinking of a good story for whoever was waiting for us on the other side. 

Boom Boom 

I walked towards the lethal object that forbidden children view with such fear that their blood runs cold as if their bones could break with a simple snap. 

"No Fiona. If it's Dylan allow him to reveal himself." Ralph whispered.

Time seemed to stop as the oxygen around the room appeared to be limited since everyone was focused on breathing. The only sound that could be heard was the soft chimes from Ralph's grandfather's clock that hung over the front door. 

Boom Boom

"It's not Dylan." Jaanai said sternly but her body showed her true emotion from the obvious shaking while hanging on to Jack. 

"Ralph..." I whispered wide eyed.

Who is it.

"I am going to move, okay guys? I need to wake up Grandpa." Ralph said rather urgently while taking soft steps towards the hallway to his Grandfathers bedroom.

"Fiona get over here." I heard Hunter plead while pointing to Alex.

She seemed like she was about to go in complete panic mode.

WOOF

"Oh my god Twix!? Where is he!?" I spun around the room violently. 

"Shut him up!" Kadyn whispered shouted.

"Chill Kadyn whoever it is, they won't question a dog." Tate stated bluntly.

"That's what you think." Kadyn retaliated.

"Arguing will increase the noise in here. You both should know that. Be quiet." Jaanai snapped. 

I finally found Twix as I looked into the kitchen doorway. 

"Thank God Tw--" 

AUGH

I gasped as I crouched down as quickly as possible behind the kitchen Island. 

"Fiona...?" I heard Simon whisper even quieter than usual.

"People, in black uniforms, they are circling the house." I tried to breathe.

"Are you sure?" I heard Kaydn's raspy voice respond from the living room.

"I don't know but it sure as hell didn't look like Dylan." I snarled. My heart was now in my throat as I tried to take deep breaths.
