Whole World of Wishes

Chapter 10 (Max)

"Wait why would you want to give us your dogs" I ask.
"Because I don't have any time to take care of them", "and besides they could be really helpfully to y'all, they know how to fight of crocodiles." Says Johnny.
"Thanks" Jinx and I say at the same time.
We'll why don't y'all get settled and if you need me I'll be in the kitchen making lunch."
"Come on" I said to Jinx who was still petting Noodles and Gigi. Goldy had gone with Johnny into the kitchen. So he was letting us stay with him. I wonder why. But he was being so generous how could we not accept. I mean it's not like we can just be wandering around the woods,since Terance and his men would be looking for us. So Jinx and I start to climb up the ladder to get to the tree house, when we get to the top we se that the dogs had goten there before us. That's when we realized that we could have just used the staires. The tree house was huge, on one side was a couch with a bunch of fluffy frilly pillows that covered it, I walks over to it and throw my backpack on to the ground and then lay down on the couch, I was so tired that I fell asleep in the next few secounds.

When I wake up its already morning, I see Jinx slepping on the top bunk of the bunk beds, I wonder how long I was asleep. I had missed lunch, and dinner. Now I wish that I had more than some toast for breakfast yesterday. I can hear the wind outside, rustling the leaves on the tree house.
" Hey Max" someone says. At first I thought it was Jinx but Jinx was still sleeping. And it couldn't have been Johnny because his voice wasn't as high pitched. I jump our of bed and that's when I see Noodles, she was the only other person in the room(besides Jinx). It couldn't have been. But then it happens again, but this time I see it happen.
"Rise and shine" says Noodles . I look at her in amazement.
"You can talk".
"Yeah"
"Since when" I ask.
"Forever, I've always been able to talk but Johnny says that I shouldn't talk to strangers, he thinks that they might do experiments on me I find out how to talk."
"So can Goldy and Gigi talk ?" I ask
"Yes ".
" Okay so let's go down stairs and get some breakfast" I say as I head toward the stairs. Their are 19 stairs to get down to the the 2nd story of the log cabin, from their you have to take another set of stairs which has 14 steps. Now your probably thinking why I would count, we'll I was bored. When we reach the bottom and I see Johnny sitting on the couch with Goldy. Then we hear some one knock on the door, I don't think Johnny hears it because he doesn't move. So I start walking towards the door, all of a sudden Johnny get up and heads towards me. He grabs me tightly by the arm and then pulls me into the kitchen.
"Wha..."
"Get upstairs, wake up the girl and get out of here, I have a hunch that it's your step Dad at the door, take the dogs with you" he says in a whisper. That's when we hear another knock.
" Go, and good luck" he says giving me a little push towards the stairs. Then I hear them knock again, but this time it wasn't a knock it was a bang. That's when I run upstairs, I had Noodles in one hand and her tongue was out and she was wagging her tail as if seeing me run was the most exciting thing ever. When I get up to the tree house I look through the window and see Terence. In my mind I make a mental note to thank Johnny if I ever see him again. I look in Jinx's bed but I don't see any thing, where is she. I grab Gigi of the bed, and she looks at me sheepishly. I couldn't just leave Gigi and Noodles here, Johnny says that they would be helpfull. By this time I could hear yelling from the cabin, so I quickly open one of the windows and jump onto the branch. But since I was holding both Noodles and Gigi I lose my balance and I fall.

After falling about 10 feet I see a hand reach out of the tree, it grabs onto to my arm, and I suddenly let go of Noodles, then I see another hand but instead if grabbing me it caught Noodle. I was relived. We start getting pulled back up to a branch, that's when I see who it was, Jinx.
"Where were you" I say in a low voice.
" I'll tell you later".
"How do we get away ?" I ask
"We fly"
