Short Story

“I thought you were by yourself, because I didn’t see your family. So I got nervous.”

“I got them for free, Wulfric!” she explained and then handed the bowl over to me. I took it gratefully and I thanked er.

I nod and thank her before telling her I wanted a chicken sandwich and water, and to tell the cook that I liked his his earrings.

Brynn goes inside and her mother squeezes her in a hug, exclaiming, “Where have you been?”

While opening the car door, I looked at my mom. "Mom, I promise you, I will be okay. I know that I turned 16 three months ago, but I'm perfectly capable driving to Eastwood."

“Don’t worry, Angie. Dawn will be fine.” With that, and some goodbye’s, the two hung up, just as Angela was walking in the doorway.

Her father stepped in, "Hayln, you are going. Now get your bags and get in Aurora's car."

“Erica, I know a part of you can understand me,” Moxxie said. “We have a place for you. A place you can exist without the worry of any harm coming to you. You simply need to put the child down and come with us.”

The building was like a maze. It took me at least thirty minutes to find the cafeteria. I got two sandwiches and waters, but then I saw Jesse she was sitting with Kai twisting her bracelet around her fingers. I had given it to her when we were ten. The first I realized I had a crush on her. I walked out of the room every other second looking back at her; Every Time being disappointed she wasn't looking too. I opened the heavy door to find Cecilia sitting down freshly showered with new clothes on. They looked like something you would see in the movies, she looked into a drawer and pulled out similar clothes for me.

“Would you meet me again here tomorrow, about noon or so. I’ll be arriving with a friend.”

“No it’s okay I wanna take a walk through the woods.” I said. I gave Lexi a hug and kissed her.

Then, it happened, She looked over her shoulder and caught me staring, she turned her body to get a better look at me and suddenly we were the only two people on the entire universe, nothing else in this moment mattered, the people walking by, the my sister and her friends, the cars honking their horns in traffic, everything was silent, it was just me and the green eyed beauty. She smiled, then brought her hand up to her cheek and wiggled her fingers, waving at me, I felt my face heat up as I pulled my hand away from my book and waved back at her, she looked down timidly at the ground then back up at me, as she looked back to me she scrunched up her nose and smiled hard, with pink cheeks, She was about to mouth something when a boy startled her, wrapping his arms around her waist. “Sorry” She mouthed giving me a sympathetic smile before removing the boy’s arms from around her waist, turning around to face him. “Camila mom just called she said she wants us to start heading back home now.” Sofi said as she made her way over to me, but my eyes fixated on the mystery girl arguing with who I presume to be her boyfriend. “Camila?” Nope. “Mila.” Go away little girl. “Mills?” Nope not even that one is gonna work. Bye gurl. “Karla.” “WHAT DO YOU WANT SOFI!” I yelled looking at my sister. “Gosh no need yell, mo-” “I heard you the first time twerp!”

“Here, you need to eat more, little one.” Mrs. Sanchez said as she scooped some chirizo and scrambled eggs on William’s plate; not pleased with his thin form, she was determined to fatten him up.

Tensions were rising higher and higher, slowly reaching their destination. Looking at the large white building with many glass windows and a large flight of steps. Isaac lowered his window, sticking his head out to observe the area around him. He noticed the research center seemed much more peaceful than he’d imagined, but with the Sangrine Syndicate around he knew the peace would be short lived. Pulling into the parking lot, there were multiple cars parked. Sabra knew what had happened inside, not saying a word to anyone. She parked her car near the entrance of the parking lot. Team S.P.D found a place to park also, exiting the car to group up with Sabra and the others. Looking at each other, they moved towards the building

It seemed that the elevator traveled several floors beneath the facility. Once the doors opened, the lights automatically came on. “Wow, this looks like some type of ancient dungeon,” said Sam. Both were surprised by how old the facility looked. It was as if it had been there for centuries. Dust was on the shelves, and weird writing was on the walls. It was nothing like the upper floors. The two curiously looked around the area until Dean came upon a golden cube-shaped box. The box looked like something out of a sci-fi movie. It had no cords or ports and was oddly heavy. Sam had heard rumors that Lotus was developing a new gaming system that would blow current systems always. “I bet this is the prototype,” Sam said. Both boys were
