The Truth About Erica

chapter 7

   Lily lead us to a cave and told Liam, Jake, Danny, and Scot to get as far away from us as they could. "Run!" She yelled after them as they ran off.

   Zoe turned to Lily and I, "Who was that?"

   Lily looked at me and said, "You haven't told them I assume?"

   "Why would I?" I asked.

   "Because I assume they are your friends."

   Coldly I stated, "I dont do friends"

   "what abou-"

   "Please dont. Mason will come back. And you shouldn't call him Mase. You don't know what he said he was going to do. And what he was going to do."

   She ignored this and looked at Mike, Zoe, and Ben. "That guys was our older brother, Mason. We also have a younger sister named Trixie."

   "You have a bother and two sisters?" Mike asked me.

   "Yes"

   "Awesome!"

   "Not awesome. Mason, well, Mason changed when Lily turned ten. He became cold and turned to crime. Mother said to avoid capturing him because he was our brother. He tried..." I trailed off and started tearing up.

   "C'mon. Nothing else is needed to be said" Lily also finds this subject saddening and always tries to avoid it. She walked out of the cave and we all followed.

   Lily took us to an alley and knocked on the wall. Three knocks and it opened. She started humming star wars softly to herself. She walks in and there is a small car on one side of a large rectangular room. A man with a long gray beard and yellow hat open the diver side door and says, "Will we see you in these parts again?"

   "I don't know yet Groun."Lily replied,"My brother found me here so most likely not. You can come with us if you want. I am sure Emily will be happy to see you."

   "Emily will be mad at me. At least here I can think of the happy memories with her and not have her yelling at me for walking into the sunset" Groun and Lily laughed.

   Lily slid into the drivers seat. Mike, Zoe, and Ben sat in the back. "Lily, shouldn't I drive?" I asked. "I am older after all"

   "Yeah you are older but this car has been hyped up with new materials. Groun gave me lessons on how to drive it if something like this every happened." She made a fair point, so I slide into the passenger seat and Lily drove to the other side of the room. Then we crashed.

Sorry for the cliffhanger. I have some extra time so I will update this story a little more often so enjoy and  please give feedback.
