The fight

Abbie's pov

Amy told me that mom and dad are dead. That this gang that is hunting us killed them. They can't be dead, but Amy would never lie to me like that.

"I know this is scary." Mark said as he gave me a bag of food.

"It is, why do they want us dead?"

"Because they are scared."

"Of what?"

He sat down next to me.

"They are scared because of your parents and your sister."

"Why Amy?"

"Your parents trained Amy to protect you and her and you from these people. They know that Amy can take them down. They are scared that you both will get away from everyone."

"But why do they want us?"

"That I do not know."

"Will they ever leave us alone? Or are we going to be running from them for the rest of our lives?"

"Soon they will give up, but right now we just have to play the cards right."

"I don't like these cards."

"Okay." Amy said walking into the room, "I found a few places that have the treehouses, since they know about those we should stay away from there."

"I am tired of moving." I said.

"I know, I am too. But we need to keep going."

"Now where are we going?"

"I have some family up north. They have a vacation house that I told them that I will be using." Mark said.

"What about your job?" I asked him.

"I told them that I am taking some time off."

"Oh."

"Everything is going to be okay. After you are done eating, we will head out."

I nodded my head, then opened the bag. As I was eating Mark was giving Amy some papers going over them with her.

"Abbie, you will need this." Mark said, handing me a card.

"What is this?"

"If someone asks for some identification, show them this. This is so the bad guys don't know who you really are."

I looked at the card, it's an Id.

"Mommy and Daddy had one like this." I looked up at him.

"Yep, and so does Amy."

I looked up at her and she showed me hers smiling.

"You need to keep that on you at all times." Mark said.

I nodded my head yes then took a bite of my chicken nuggets.

"I was going to keep it as a surprise but I think you can use a pick me up."

I looked at him confused.

"The vacation house that we are going to, is a beach house. Right smack down in the middle of the sand."

I felt my lips curl into a smile. "I can go swimming?"

"Only with another person with you but yes." He laughed.

I started to shove the rest of my food in my mouth.

"Abbie no." Amy said, "Don't do that. You can choke."

I spit out the food into my hand, then put it on my plate.

"Classy." Amy said laughing.

I ate the food normally, then we got into Mark's car and left.
