If I Could Run

Chapter 6

I watched everyone eat as I started into space. I excused myself and went to my familiar guest room. I opened the window and walked out onto the balcony. I looked in the sky and found that big shining star that I always look at. I sighed. "Star light, star bright, grant my wish I make tonight, I wish for my father to come home and for us to find him and be a normal happy family again." A wiped a tear off my face and crawled into bed and cried to sleep. I woke up in the same bed I fell asleep in but everything was fuzzy. I rubbed my eyes and stepped on the floor. My feet were so cold. Suddenly I realized I wasn't in my guest room I was in a cave with weird red light ubove me. The light was coming from lava hovering above me. I reached up expecting my hand to burn off but it went through the lava without hurting at all. I looked around and saw a projector shining an illusion of the lava above me. I figured I was in the valcono on valcano road. I saw a man sitting in a chair in the corner of the room.

"Katie is that you? It's me your dad!" He cried of happiness. I cried as I realized it was him! MY DAD!!!

"Dad what are you doing here?" I cried out while sobbing on his shoulder, "Where have you been?"

"Calm down its ok!" He hugged me. I took some time to look around. It looked the a den almost. The walls and ground were stone. It had a damp feeling. I turned around to see the bed I woke up on was gone. The only bed in there was a old creaky one in the corner of the room. There was computer stuff on one wall with a impressively cushiony chair. There was a old iron cell looking door with a lot of locks on the outside.
"Dad, where are we?" I asked. Before he could respond there was yelling of many men running to our room.
My dad grabbed me and stared in my eyes and said,"Hunny, I haven't much time to explain anything all I can say is remember that you are different than anyone else. Your mother doesn't even know..." He was cut off by the sounds of the men getting closer.
"Hunny don't forget this!" He yelled. The technology was cutting off and on and so were the lights. "r-l-w-o!" The men bursted through the door and two grabbed him and the others searched around his room.
"Dad wait! I don't understand!" I yelled, "Get off him!" I screamed jumping on one of the men. The man threw me off and onto to floor. Then my dad yelled back,
"Number and backwards!" He was then pushed to the hall way. Then one of the men kneeled down and started shaking me,"Wake up Katie, Wake up Katie, Wake up Katie!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I jerked up from my bed to the early sun peeking through the balcony. I heard the familliar voice of my mom knocking on my door and saying,"Wake up Katie!" I stood up and drowzily walked to the door. I opened my door and saw my mom. She was wearing a blue soft robe with matching slippers and her hair was down.
"Breakfast is ready downstairs." She said smiling.
"Ok thanks." I said back. Then she went back downstairs. I closed the door and walked to the box the police man gave to me last night. I pulled out my favorite white, laced, shortsleeved shirt and some white shorts. Then I put on the slightly too big dark blue jacket I always usually wear. It was my dads after all. I walked to the bathroom in my room and brushed through my bird nest of hair. Then I slipped on some short white socks and left the room. I walked down that long light yellow hallway that was full of pictures and expensive paintings. I walked to the banister and looked down to see what was on the breakfast table. FRENCH TOAST! How sweet it was of them to make my mom and I's favorite breakfast food. I walked a little bit faster down the stairs and quickly took a seat and pilled my plate. I put on about 4 french toasts and 2 bacons and Then coated my French Toast with powdered sugar. The sugar could've been an inch thick by the time I finally stopped and dug my face in it. Then Mrs. Johnson walked in and stopped to look and me.
"Enjoying your breakfast?" She laughed. I nodded.
"Thank you so much for making this today. I can never get enough of this.' I smiled.
"Well your welcome." She turned to start leaving but jerked to a stop and turned around again. "Oh and Micheal is going to the mall to get a new skate board. He said he'd take you with him if you needed something."
"Alright thanks." Oh did I mention Ameilia has a brother? He's 17. I finished eating and decided I should go to the mall with him. I didn't have many clothes and I only had one pair of shoes. Amelia wouldn't be coming though because she was at soccer practice. And Becky was probably doing family stuff. I walked up stairs and to my room. I walked to the bathroom again and brushed my teeth and put my makeup on. I kept my hair down. I liked it wen my hair does whatever it wants to. I then walked down the hallway and up the other stairs to his room. I knocked on his door and shortly it opened. Once it opened I swear there was gold light shinning behind him and a choir singing haleijluya.
He gets cuter everyday. His brown messy hair and bangs that cover part of one eye, his dark blue eyes, his little freckles on his cheekes.
"yes?" He said smiling.
"huh?" I said snapping out of my daze. "Oh sorry, I was just saying that I will e coming to the mall with you."
"Oh cool." He said smiling and brushing back those bangs.
Then I laughed and said, "Your going to a mall!" I walked through his door laughing still.
"Hey, hey! I'm just getting a skateboard and then I'm outta there." He laughed back as he closed the door and walked over to me.
"Well my friend your also gonna be helping me find cute clothes to wear."
"Why do you need "cute" clothes?" He questioned back.
"Because this," I gestured to my outfit, "ain't cute at all."
We then sat down on his bed that was right behind us.
"But I like your clothes, He said starting to blush," I think they're cute."
I turned bright red and pulled back my hair. Then i turned to him and our eyes locked
"Thanks Mikey." I smiled.
"Your welcome Katie." He smiled back. Then he then pulled my hood up and onto my head. And before I knew it, He pulled the strings on my jacket and then the hood on my jacket was covering my face. Then we both burst out laughing till our stomachs hurt.
