On The Run

(Chapter 2) Jinx

             "CRASH!" A loud noise came from downstairs. As  Lavender flinched and opened her eyes she saw that Rose was missing. "Where's Rose? And did you hear that 'CRASH'?" Lavender said trying to hide the panic in her voice. "Rose went downstairs to investigate the 'CRASH!'" The boy named Axel replied. "I'm gonna go with her." Lavender stated as she pushed the door open leaving the room and walking down the hallway.

                    Lavender eventually found the area with broken glass and her best friend Rose. "Oh hey Lavender!" Rose spoke as she saw Lavender walking into the room. "What happened?" Lavender asked. "Oh I think it was just a rock thrown or something.". "Dummy, who would wanna smash open the window with a rock?" Roses face started to light up and she smiled "MAYBE I HAVE A SECRET ADMIRER!". Rose started freaking out about maybe she got to popular. The she had a mood swing and suddenly became happy about the situation. "We should head back upstairs." Lavender interrupted Roses squealing session. "Oh yeah! I forgot about them.." Rose said as she touched he pointer fingers and tapped them. 

              They made their way upstairs but Lavender had the same feeling as she did when she was in school. She absolutely hated the feeling. She suddenly had a sudden urge to change into work out clothes so she did. "Oh are we playing dress up now?" Oliver asked playfully with a smirk on his face. "OOOH I HAVE THE PERFECT OUTFIT FOR THIS LEMME GO" Alice yelled with joy as she pushed her way into the bathroom. Lavender was to embarrassed to explain why she changed. Only Lavender, Alice, Oliver, Evan and Rose changed. "Hey I just noticed something" Liam said in a blunt tone. "What is it?" Evan said as he got closer to Liam. "Rose and Lavender are both named after flowers. But why? Are you guys close or something? Or is it a coincidence?" Liam finished his sentence in a breath. "Oh. Our parents are really close. So close that we can go over to each others houses and they won't even bother asking us anything." Rose responded not letting Lavender talk. "CRASH!". 'Another one!?!?' Lavender thought to herself. Rose got up and opened the door with Lavender following behind her. 

              As they passed the kitchen, Lavender felt a sudden urge to pick up a knife. Lavender hid it behind her back since she didn't want Rose to suspect anything. As they got to the room where the window had been broken before, nothing has changed. Until they heard a scream come from upstairs. As they slowly went up the stairs, Lavender noticed Rose was shaking. Why was she shaking? It was weird seeing her like that for Lavender but she just left that fact alone. As they went into Roses bedroom everyone was staring at the two. "Why did you scream? Is something wrong?" Evan asked with worry. "W-we weren't the ones screaming... we thought you guys did.." Lavender said with her hands becoming clammy and goosebumps climbed up her back.

                After a long silence Rose spoke up. "Where do you think the scream came from?" Rose asked. "It certainly was loud and it sounded like it was next to us..." Oliver said shaking a bit. "Wait......."

        "Mom and dad.......?"
