The Last Hybrids

~:2:~

 Domino POV-

     I took a few steps forward, tilting my head downwards and smiling at the ground. "What are you going to do? Shoot me?" I chuckled a bit as I lifted my head and looked at him. At this point, the gun was just inches away from my face, yet still pointing directly between my eyes. "And you think I would be scared of that?" I took my hand out of my jacket pocket and ran it through my hair. "Well, if you were normal, then you would be!" He shouted at me, hoping to get a more shocked or scared expression from me. I just continued to stare into his eyes until I smirked at him and punched him in the stomach. He winced in pain as he dropped the gun and gradually backed up towards the other men. "Zed, get up. She probably didn't even punch you that hard," The man on the motorcycle mumbled before getting off his bike, walked over to Autumn and Caleb, and reached out to grab their wrists. "Don't," Caleb stated bluntly, "Get away from us."

     "Aww, is the little boy protecting his girlfriend?" The man teased. "I am not his girlfriend!" Autumn yelled as she kicked him between his legs and crossed her arms. "Ah shoot now, Axel is out," Said the man standing next to the bike as he watched the man fall down onto the pavement. "Stop giving away our names Zane!"

"Well, thanks now you gave mine away you dumb idiot!"

"Why are you yelling at me!?"

     "Because you are yelling at me!" They just continued to yell and make hand gestures at each other for some time until I walked up to them and pushed their heads together. Their foreheads collided and they both fell over and passed out. "Let's go guys," I said to Autumn and Caleb, "I'm really hungry anyway."

     "Ok, I'll make ramen for you, let's go," said Autumn. "I want Kimchi Fried Rice!" Caleb shouted as he began running toward my house. Autumn and I walked up to my house after Caleb and hung out there for a while.

     About a week passed of people getting in trouble and other normal things that happen in my school. Once the school day ended, I caught up with Caleb and Autumn, I noticed that today they looked more nervous than how they would normally seem if they were nervous about something. "Hey guys," I asked them, "Are you ok? You look a bit...um...worried." They stopped walking and turned to look at me. I felt their stares burning holes into my head once I stopped walking and ended up between them, but I just continued to look down because I thought they might be mad at me for asking. "Did they not get to you?" Autumn asked, the sound of fright clear in her voice. Caleb's breath hitched, "Or maybe didn't notice them? Or the other way around," He stated, his voice cracking a bit. "This is bad... We don't know who they are... and Domino hasn't even seen them so she obviously doesn't know," Autumn said, looking worriedly at Caleb and then pointing to me when she said my name. "Let's just go back to my house and we can talk in my room so that we aren't, oh I don't know... in the middle of the school courtyard!" I said raising my voice a bit. I noticed the few groups of kids walking by looking over at me. I could tell they were a bit shocked because I didn't normally yell."Sorry, I didn't mean to yell," I said in a calmer voice, looking to the other kids around us. "Yeah!" Caleb shouted. He had told me before that he loves staying at my house because I got my Uncle Christopher to put a small area in my room for games like pool, pinball, and a few other games. Although those were the only things he mentioned, I could tell he really liked that I had a microwave and three mini fridges that I kept some kimchi, ramen, sodas, and other foods and drinks in. I knew he liked kimchi, so I stocked up a bit on that before he came over last week, and I have some left over for him today.

     We got home after a bit of walking, but as we were walking up to my steps, Caleb grabs my hand and intertwines our fingers. I look at him and smile back when I see him smiling at me. Autumn stops walking and turns around to look at us—she was a bit ahead of us as we neared my house—and grins. "Awwww!" Autumn teased, making me jump and disconnect our gaze. Caleb and I let go at the same time and glared at her. We caught up with Autumn and almost got to the steps, but stepped as we heard a motorcycle revving, just like before.
