Running Away

Chapter 12: Diesel Frye is Gone

"Diesel!" I heard a deep voice cry.

"How do you know my name?" I asked. After looking a bit closer, I started to panic.

That was my old foster dad.

"Delilah Rose Frye you get back here this instant!" he said.

"My name's not Delilah Frye." I laughed as he started to reach for my arm. "It's Diesel Deetz."

"No it's not. Let's go, you're going home." he said.

"That's where I was heading anyways." I said, running as fast as I could. My foster dad caught up to me and aggressively threw me in his car, throwing my backpack on the streets.

"Wait! My phone's in there! Can you let me call my family?" I cried.

"You don't have a family anymore." he laughed.

"I-I have the Deetzes!" I said.

I suddenly remembered my nightmare from not long ago. Someone else told me I didn't have a family.

But this wasn't a nightmare. This was real life. I was kidnapped by my foster father and thrown in his truck.

He got in his truck and drove away. There were no windows in the backseat, so I didn't know where I was going.

Then I remembered.

"Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Bee-" I started to say, before I was cut off.

"Stop talking! You're gonna give me away." he said sharply.

"Oh, do you think I wanted to be kidnapped?" I said.

As soon as I felt the car roar to a stop, I jumped out of the car and started running.

I ended up at a Walmart. There were no public phones here.

I checked the license plates in the parking lot and realized, I was in Rhode Island. There is no way the Deetzes are gonna find me now.

I walked up to an employee and said, "Hi, I'm Diesel, I just escaped from a kidnapping and I need somewhere to hide and call my family."

The employee said, "Follow me to the back."

I walked to the back with the employee and he led me to a phone on the wall. I dug in my pockets for anything that could help me, then a piece of paper fell out.

Clover's number.

I quickly dialed the number and Clover picked up.

"Hello?"

"Hi. It's Diesel. I'm in Rhode Island. I need help."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Lydia's POV

"Lydia, honey, have you seen your sister?" Barbara asked as I entered the house.

"No. I saw her walking home." I said, which was true.

"It's been 3 hours since school ended. I'm getting worried." Adam said.

"Wait. Do you think Diesel would've spawned Beetlejuice if she was in trouble? Maybe we can ask him!" I said.

"Ooh, good idea! Lydia, you spawn him."

"Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice." I said, and Beetlejuice popped up in no time.

"Hi Lyds." he said. "What's going on?"

"Diesel's missing." Barbara said. "Have you seen her?"

"I think French Fry tried to summon me earlier, but she got cut off by someone." Beetlejuice said.

Suddenly, my cell phone rang.

"Hello?" I said.

"Hi. It's Clover Casanova. Diesel called me from a Walmart."

"Walmart?" Dad asked. "Lydia, hand me the phone."

"Hello?" Dad said. "Mmm-hmm, I see...wait, what?...Rhode Island?...I'll be right there." He handed my phone back to me and hung up.

"Everyone. Diesel got kidnapped by her old foster father. She's hiding in a Walmart in Rhode Island. I'm going to go pick her up. Everyone else stay here in case she comes home."

Everyone nodded, and Dad bolted out of the house.
