Runaways Part 2 (Chapters 3 and 4)
25th February 2016
Running away is one thing, and murder is another..
"The note says Tick tock goes the clock and all the years they fly, Tick tock goes the clock and all of you must die! ~Anon" I said with a bit of fear in my voice. "W-Who would w-write such a thing...?" Summer mumbled while squeezing the life out of Cristal "Summer your killing me!" Cristal gasped. "Oh sorry, I'm just really scared." Summer apologized. "Its fine!" Cristal replied, they both laughed awkwardly. We heard foot steps. "Guys hurry follow me!" I whispered as we all ran behind four large crates and listened to the conversation. "I don't know but somethings wrong about this murder." The first person said, It was a guy. "Ash you think everything's wrong." The other said, I peeked my head above the crate and accidentally dropped a can. "Jesse someones here." Ash whispered to Jesse. "Who's there..?" Jesse yelled, I stepped out of the crate. "Relax, I mean no harm, were here to do the same thing as you, Investigate." I said helping the others up. "Who are you?" Ash asked. "Oh, I'm Mira, shes Summer, that's Cristal and that's Layla, we've come here to look for clues, Our friend, Michelle, was shot here a few days ago, only we thought Sting murdered her but he didn't." I murmur "Who's Sting?" Jesse asked me, he dropped his so called "weapon" which was just a stick. "The man that was also shot" Summer replied "We're runaways from him, he kidnapped us" Cristal mumbled. "So you guys to?" Ash mumbled back. "We found this note the was left for us I'm guessing.." I murmured "What's it say??" Jesse said while taking the note from my hand, My cheeks turned a tint of pink. "So its a threat..?" Ash was confused. "We don't know who wrote it, but one of us is next." Layla said while trembling. "Where are you guys staying, This person must know by now, chances are that it isn't even safe anymore, You should stay somewhere else" Jesse implied "Well, we don't have anywhere else to stay, It's been 10 years, I don't remember any family members of mine.." I sighed "Why don't you stay with us!" Ash exclaimed "Ash we don't even know them!" Jesse whispered to Ash trying not to say it so loud. "But they seem really nice please!!" Ash begged
Why did he just offer us to stay with them?
"Okay fine, Guys can stay with us." Jesse agreed. "Thank you, I will pay you back." I promised, It still is bugging me about why they even came here. "No no! I can't accept payment from a runaway like me." Jesse blurted "T-thank you, so where do you guys stay?" I murmured "Follow us." Jesse and Ash started to run "WAIT UP!" We ran after them.
Chapter 4
We finally stopped running and arrived to there house "So this is the place?" I panted trying to catch my breath "Yep, Its our Grandparents house, There on vacation so were taking care of it." Ash stated, The house was very big, there was 7 bed rooms a living room, a huge kitchen, dining room, and even a basement. "You guys can pick your rooms if you want.." Jesse said while searching for the T.V remote "Okay, thank you." I walked upstairs and chose a comfortable room with a small balcony.
*2 weeks later*
It's been 2 weeks since we started living with Ash and Jesse, we all decided to go shopping for winter coats since it was getting chilly.
We walked into Starstess (I can't think of any other name) and started looking around for anything warm. "Hey guys come over here!" Ash yelled, we all sat in the sitting area around the changing rooms, Ash stepped out. "Like oh my god girl your shoes are totes fab!" Ash exclaimed while fluffing his boa. "Ashley girrrrl you aint see nothing, look at these hot brows!" Cristal said while flipping her hat "Gurl you wouldn't know hot when you see it! I mean look at my hot foot." Jesse snapped while kicking his show somewhere. "Puhlease you wanna go, OBVIOUSLY I'm hotter then you ALL!" Summer hissed while wiggling her eyebrows. "WANNA GO SUMMER MY FACE WILL BURN YOU TO THE GROUND!" Layla yelled, I laughed in the background. "Jessette lets show these ladies how hot we are." Ash snapped "Lets go Ashley!" Jesse and Ash, Or should I say Ashley and Jessette were strutting down the carpet, It was the first time I felt happy, It was like everything was fun and games, But little did I know all that would change, someone or something was coming..
