The Mute Woods

Chapter 5

At every rest area on the way to the small city we stopped and switched cars, them all looking different, but all tinted windows. I think the police people are making this to dramatic it was probably just a coincidence. My arm hit ms Margret that was sitting int the front seat."Autumn wants to know if this could be a coincidence?"

"No, we highly doubt that, plus Autumn you are only thirteen, you don't need to die!" He added fearsley.

I sat back wide-eyed and relaxed until we jerked to a stop. I saw them all get out and there was a hotel thing infront of us, I sighed leaping out of the car. My mother was standing out front of the house, she was wearing a pink shirt and brown pants, I hated brown but she loved to match it with pink. Then her hair was all curly and she had a smidge of make-up on. After all she is a pretty women. I slipped my way to her and sighed. Before I knew her arms were wrapped around my shoulders as she lifted me up.

"Autumn doesn't like this Idea Mrs. Latin!" John mumbled away taking my mothers hand and into the building. "You'll be staying on the third floor," he added.

He was absolutely right, I hate this idea, how would the 'guy' even know where I lived, even less who I was. It didn't matter though I am supposed to be safe now right? I wobbled after them and up  into the elevator and too the room. The room was practically all white but the Television and a few paintings in the room. It was nice but it didn't feel right to me, I wanted to go back home!

All my stuff was on the bed and my mothers on the floor. I had to share a room with her, this is going to literally sucks. She is very picky and it doesn't help that she is going to walk to talk to me. I can't talk for one and my arms get tired fast, even though I have been signing for years. Actually to be exact nine years!

My mom was sitting on the bed staring at me, until finally she spoke, "Baby Are you alright?" A tear fell down her face I didn't understand!

'I am fine, it was just a coincidence nothing else calm down mother!' I sighed moving across the room to the tiny fridge. There were diet seven ups and disguisting root beer, I hated diet drinks but I grabbed the seven up anyways. Clicking the top I jugged half the can down before my mother blabbed her mouth again.

"No it is not, you found someone and he is dead, now the person is angry and trying to kill you!" Wait, he is dead?

I jugged another drink and set it on a small table in front of the T.V,'He is not dead!' I argued then letting my arm set.

"Yes he died I am sorry, I need to go out text me if anything is wrong alright or call!" She mumbled walking out.

I don't understand, if she was so worried why does she keep leaving. It didn't matter I should be safe now so I sat on the bed throughing my belongings onto the stained white floor. Grabbing a silver remote I turned the black Television on to the HBO channel that had my Law and Order on. I saw this episode before, a girl keeps having kids and throwing them away, the father is her father. Really gross.

A new episode flarred on the Television and I sat up from my so called nap. Light seeped through the blinds and I went for another soda. I drink a lot of stuff, my mom says I might be an alcoholic. I jugged that soda down while eating a small pizza thing they had too. I was starving from not eating anything but the half spilled ramen. It was hard to believe everything happened in just one day!
