A Short Story : A Story?

Alis pressed her lips together, something Lionel noticed she did when nervous. After a few moments of consideration, she said, “I’d like to stay.

“I’m sure you’ll think of something,” she reassured him. “Hopefully the boys’ll come back with something that’ll pull some of this together.”

“Uh, yeah! Sure!” When I knew I was l alone I ran all over town looking for the source of the snow. I finally found it at an abandoned warehouse just outside of town. I waited a couple of seconds before saying something but before I could, someone spoke.

The crew were all in Barba's office working on another potential rape case. Rollins walks in with a couple of bags in her hand. "I figured since we're gonna be here all day, might as well bring y'all lunch."

Peter came out of kitchen and joined him at the table. He removed the bandanna tied around his head and wiped the sweat from his glistening his brow. "I am done. I’m going home to shower and change. I made blueberry muffins and crumb cakes for tomorrow. Are you going to stay a while longer or are you headed over to your folks place to pick up Hannah?"

“We’re going home!” Laina exclaimed, holding up the wads of cash they had earned. “Quick, let’s get to the ferry before it closes.”

“I've been handling myself along with all of this” she said as she reached her hands out to gesture to all of the memories surrounding them “quite well i think” Alessa crossed her arms across her chest.

"Thanks. I'll let you get back to your work," I stated. I turned and walked to the girls and sat across from them. I looked at all four of them and laced my hands together in front of me, leaning forward to look at them. "Girls and Demi, she will be okay. She's in surgery and in maybe two hours she will be moved to a room. But, hopefully we know more soon," I

“I understand,” he said. I inwardly snorted. As if. “I’m just worried about you and Ada. We don’t want a repeat of what happened when you were on your way over here.”

“Alright, go crazy.” Alex said waving her hands at the racks of clothes, “Get yourself a couple of outfits and then we’ll stop at a drugstore on the way home to get your other essentials.”

“Let’s hope the inn at this town is better than the last.” Ebon said. “You would not believe how bad the food was.”

“It was nothing I’ll see you tomorrow. I love you.” Delaney quickly hung up the phone so her mom couldn’t ask her questions anymore.

“Wow, Rhianna, that was awesome!” said a voice from behind me. I jumped out of my skin and turned around. My sister stood there, leaning up against a piece of scrap metal. Lucy and Vincent were standing behind her. My eyes widened and I shoved my book back into my bag, “You guys weren't meant to hear that! I stuttered. Lucy laughed, “Well we did, and it was amazing”. I smiled slightly, “Thanks guys, I appreciate it”. Jasmine rolled her eyes, “Oh come on Rhianna, you sound like one of those pink prissy princesses on Asgard!”. Vincent snorted, “Ugh I hate them, they think they're so posh”. Lucy laughed, “That's cause they are Vince”. Jasmine snorted, “Right, well we've got to get going, Dad will not be happy if we're just sitting here being ugh...polite”. I nodded and stood up. We began walking through town, Jasmine purposefully bumping people in the shoulder or tripping them up. One time, a young girl bumped into me, and upon looking who she had bumped into, cowered in fear. “Oh I'm so sorry” she stammered, looking up at me. Most people had stopped to look, watching how this would play out . Loki and his children were feared on the Isle. “Oh it's okay, It's my fault, I should have been looking as to where I was walking” I apologised, looking down at the terrified girl. Jasmine stared at her, so did Lucy and Vince. I looked up, around at the whole market staring at her, “I mean... GET OUT OF MY WAY YOU PUNY CHILD!”. The child burst into tears and ran off. I felt guilty, I mean

“Oh come on Trent, go around the neighborhood with me!” I whined scrunching up my face. My brother looked down at the hard garage floor. He played with a leaf on the ground with his foot. The summer sunshine shone the tiny garage windows.

“You told me they attacked her. It’s not safe. We can take what we can carry and leave the rest behind. I promise you everything will work out.”
