Chapter 20 Party Planning

Lacheya POV
 
"I am going after her, so fuck you. You go look for Mallory and you go look for Aaron but what about me! What am I supposed to do! What am I supposed to do while the two of you go looking for the girl that I love! Huh! I get it she's your cousin and your going out there to look for her just as passionately as the two of you are going to look for the people you love but you'll be looking for them!" Kevin yelled, it was only Warren, Scotty, Kevin, Arden, Ronan, and I in the small room. Alessandro was with Bomani and Iyari, who Bomani had found hiding in a small cabinet. We had already come to a decision that Warren and Scotty were going to brave the world and search for Aaron, Mallory, and Parker. After further debate from me mostly I was added into the search party now Kevin and Arden were trying to join so Ronan was trying to talk some sense into his sister and Kevin was telling off Scott and Warren.
 
"We need you to stay behind Kevin, Alessandro isn't in the right frame of mind and since Isabella's death, Iyari relies on you. Who do you think is gonna take care of her? Bomani, he's a good cook but when things go south he tends to leave the scene and to hell with everyone else. Plus, do you really want Bomani here alone with Alessandro and Ronan. If Lacheya, Scott, and I aren't back in the five a lotted days. Bomani will leave without a second thought and then so will Alessandro and he'll take Iyari. So what that will leave what Ronan to go out and search for his sister, if she gets her way and by the looks of things she probably will." I glanced over Kevin's shoulder to see that Ronan was thinking things through Arden looked a little confident that she had made her point, "If your here you can buy us more time talk some sense into Alessandro and Bomani if they panic, calm Ronan down about his sister's well being. We need you here." Warren put his foot down.
 
Kevin had been staring at the floor for the second part of Warren's little speech and when he looked up I could tell he was holding back tears. Kevin wasn't a crier, not like Bomani. Well, no one was like Bomani. I could barely look the man in his face but I did, "It's not just her ya know, Aaron he's my brother and he's all I have those two are all I have."he was muttering now and I felt like I would start to cry myself. I remembered my brother's laugh, his smile, his frown. I remembered my mom's pasta sauce, her overwhelming kindness, her tears. My dad and his smell of smoke and paint. They were all dead and now all I had left were memories I didn't want that to be all Kevin would have of Parker or Aaron no matter how much that bitchy girl annoyed me or how much Aaron pissed me off. I grabbed a hold of Scotty's hand and held it tightly. He squeezed back.
 
"I'm in when do we go?" Arden asked as she sauntered over.
 
"Look I don't know if that is a good idea." Scotty started as Ronan left the room, obviously pissed.
 
"First of all I don't care, and secondly I have been here a good long while and in that time I still haven't found the best way to contribute around here and you better believe that I am going to help out one way or another and this is it. So I can either come on board with your blessings or you can all curse me under your breath but I am coming." Arden stated anger was in the edge of her voice and she was just waiting to overfill and spill over. She glared at Warren as if urging him to disagree but instead to my surprise he didn't he just nodded.
 
"So like she said, when do we leave?" I asked looking to each remaining person in the room.
 
"Now. Ronan went to fix up some supplies you'll need no doubt and get you the keys to the car." Kevin said and then he was on fire and took the bull by the horns, "Follow me." he said and the four of us did. We went to the supply closet which was once the computer lab but had been transformed into our sort of base of operations, and just like Kevin had said Ronan had picked out four back packs and was filling them with water, rations and a weapon each. Kevin opened a metal filing cabinet and pulled out three walkie talkies. "They cover a twenty mile radius I am on channel one, Warren you are on Two, and Arden you are on three. You guys have five days to track down Parker, Mallory and Aaron, if you aren't back by then I will try to buy you some time with the others, however I am sure that Ronan will go after you so, keep in contact with us once a day at the least and whenever you guys hit a new landmark or finish searching an area. Maybe even when you get a lead. you guys have plenty of battery so don't be afraid to use it and Lacheya will have a pack in her pack if either of you run out." Kevin stared around the room as if to think of anything else we may need. Then I saw a light bulb go on in his head. "Kitty," he said suddenly and left the room. I turned to Arden.
 
"You gonna be ready for this one girl?" I asked she had to be sure. She gave me a firm nod and I let the brothers talk in private for a minute. I still didn't know their full story although I did know more about Scotty than I knew about Warren. I knew for a fact that the three people that had run off on us are three most important people in their little world, and though their world was twisted and strange I was glad to be a part of it. When Kevin came back into the room Kitty strolled happily beside him. Kevin snatched a leash off a desk and then latched it onto Kitty's pink collar.
 
"I'll carry her food." Scott announced as Ronan started to put five cans into his bag.
 
"So I guess the race is on." Arden said.
 
"You leave today and tomorrow will count as day one." Kevin said and then started to help Ronan with the packing.

Chapter 19 Rushed and Rushed

Parker POV
 
"Okay so maybe running wasn't the best idea but I didn't hear you come up with anything better as we were rushing out of there!" I shouted back and I was right, so I had panicked big deal I am a girl and a girl's allowed to get a little freaked out after about twenty psychotics try to corner you and shred you apart.
 
"So you have no idea where we are?" Mallory asked me for like the millionth time. I wanted to hit her.
 
"No and guess what if we are still in this spot an hour from now, I STILL WON'T KNOW WHERE WE ARE!" I threw my arms up in the air, boy am I ever so pissed.
 
"Okay! I was just checking, seeing as you were the one pulling me the past what was it five miles!" Mallory was as angry as I was but I felt like I had more right to be. I went and saved her life and she was acting all snippety because she didn't know where she was, hmmph. In all fairness I was as lost as a kid in the grocery store but I didn't want to argue about it.
 
"Look Mal what do you want me to say, I'm sorry. I don't want to fight anymore. Plus I think all this screaming is going to draw attention to us." That was when I saw the most beautiful thing ever, "Mallory holy shit look a car!" Well actually it was a van and it was driving toward us, Mallory turned around to see my truth and then spun back to me a smile glued to her face.
 
"Look just let me do all the talking." Mallory said and though I was slightly offended I agreed. The van slowed about three feet from us and then two guys jumped out. Mallory jumped back as they surged toward us and the one guy grabbed a hold of my arm and pulled me to him, sneering all the while. I kicked my foot hard at his shin and he let go and then raised my knee up to meet his face, when his body jolted upright I swung the back of my hand at his face connecting he staggered to the pavement as another man came out of the van. Mallory was taking care of the guy trying to abduct her she had her nails permanentley attached to sides of his face trying to peel the skin off his face like a Halloween mask. The guy that lunged from was in front of me so fast but I brought my leg up and kicked him square in the stomach then cocked my hand back and slapped him clear across the face he went to his knees. Yes, I cheered to myself, Stephanie McMahon Helmsely bitch slap. That was when I was taken by surprise from my rear and thrown in the van. My attacker was on top of me and pressing his body against mine. I screamed and then my hands were bound, my mouth was gagged and Mallory was next to me unconscious. I kicked with all my might and one of my attackers fell out of the car but I met a mean punch to the face soon afterward that subdued me quite a bit. My feet were tied now to and in the dark van I made out the shape of five men, one the driver and four others. A part of me felt a little proud of myself it had taken four men to bring down us two girls, but in the back of my head I knew that in the position we were in it would only take one of them to make either of us a victim. Where are you Kevin? I wondered.

Chapter 18 Man Versus Nature

Aaron POV
 
I raced forward, trying to catch up with Mal and Parker but terror was gripping them both and they were fast. I was keeping them in sight though not bothering to shout after either of them and wasting the precious little breath I had in my lungs. I was sweating and every inch of my body was pulsing with ache. I wished that Parker would stop. I wished that Mallory would tire of Parker's pulling and demand to rest. But that was stupid I knew they wouldn't stop, at least not Parker. Mallory was due break her stride the second she realized that Warren wasn't on her coat tail. They made a sudden sharp left at the end of the alley I had just turned down and I realized I was falling to far behind. I sped up reaching into my reserves and then I was tackled to the ground. Dust from the alley filled my face and I gagged on the grit in my mouth. I coughed and felt the sudden pain tear into my shoulder. Something was on top of me. I pushed off the ground and rolled over throwing my body weight on my attacker. It let go immediately with a yelp and when I staggered to my feet. I made eye contact with my enemy briefly a large half breed German Shepard and behind him a mixed array of new canine enemies. I instinctively reached for a broken broom handle that was discarded next to a small trash can, but my first foe snapped at me, which sent the others careening forward with ferocity. I spun around and bolted straight ahead, the pack of wild beast quick after me. I was in a race for my life.
 
When I reached the end of the alley I didn't turn left as Mallory and Parker had I stayed on the straight and narrow. My sneakers hitting the ground evenly and the adrenaline pumping through me with strain. I was going to drop where I was soon. I had to think. A small hole in a chain link fence offered me an escape, the fence was high maybe a good seven feet, odd for a backyard fence but I wasn't complaining. I slid forward like they had taught me to in baseball (rather Scotty had though his specialty was hockey he had excelled in a number of athletics and I had never taken to any like a duck in water so he often aided me in that department). I reached the fence and clambered through just as my first opponent's jaws enclosed around my ankle. I screamed out and in an instant I saw the discarded Heineken bottle laying on the ground shattered it against the concrete walk way and then drove a shard of glass into the neck of the animal. It shrieked in pain, and tried to retreat. However I grabbed a hold of it's ears and pulled it through on my side of the gate and slid the remainder of the shattered bottled into the dog's soft under belly. I yelp and then lay still. I let out a sigh of relief and looked at the gapping hole. There was a shed next to it and when I stood up ( I placed as little weight as I could on my now wounded left ankle) I tipped it over and blocked it up no barbaric dogs anytime soon. I thought and turned to the house in front of me. It was big and that was when I realized two things, 1) I had lost Mal and Parker, 2) I was lost.
 
The back yard wasn't very big but it was nice, with a paved walk way all the way up to the back porch steps. I started to limp my way up to the house trying to ignore the pain in my ankle. Thats when I hit my next problem the stairs. I sighed and then held onto the banister for support and pulled my way up awkwardly, until I was finally at the back door of the what was definitely and upper middle class home ( just like the one that Kevin and I lived in). I raised my hand about to knock on the back door, then stopped myself. It was probably best if I let myself inside. After all though it had been two months since The Day, psychotics still had a tendency of not answering back with a 'who is it?' but with a battle to the death something I was not in the mood for at the moment.
 
I turned the large silver painted door knob and pulled the door didn't budge. I twisted the door knob and pushed still nothing. I looked over at the windows on either side of the door and went to the one to my left. I peered inside, it was dark and dust seemed to cover ever surface including the window but, thats when I heard it. The song drifted to my ears and I was almost paralyzed. I lifted the window and sure enough whoever had locked the door had forgotten to worry about the windows. The music was louder now, and Sally's (the character from a Nightmare before Christmas) was coming from somewhere near by. I trudged out of the abandoned kitchen and toward the hall, bracing myself up on the wall. I was practically dragging my foot as I stepped into the living room and there he was.
 
He was small maybe around ten but I could tell by the look of him he hadn't changed clothes in a while. He had long hair probably because it had not been cut since The Day (unlike myself and the others who were forced to submit to either Parker or Mallory's will, and sometimes Lacheya they definitely liked to keep hair tidy) and from behind he looked dirty. In front of him was a small portable DVD player, where Sally seemed to be singing from. "Hi." I said after a minute of just staring at the strange boy.
 
He turned and looked at me with big dark charcoal colored eyes, which to tell you the truth scared the shit out of me. I wish at that moment I had the ability to run but my ankle hurt way to much to even think about it. The little boy stayed where he was and after about three minutes he went back to watching his movie. I looked over and walked rather lamely to a love seat and plopped down, giving my ill fated ankle some much needed relief. I pulled up my pant leg and took a look it seem alright but it hurt like hell, I definitely knew I had to clean it out and then the small boy was in front of me. I hadn't noticed but he had left the room and he had come back with (God bless him) a first aid kit. I smiled sweetly at him and started to open the kit that was very well stocked. I cleaned my wound with some alcohol and then wrapped it with some gauze. I put everything neatly in the box and the placed it on the floor beside my seat. When I glanced up the little boy was looking at me again and holding up his DVD player. "What?" I asked softly trying to sound nurturing, "Do you want me to watch it with you?" I asked. He nodded and jumped up onto the love seat along side me.
 
"My name is Aaron. Whats your's?" I whispered. He took my hand and with his finger spelled J-A-C-K. "Jack?" I asked and he nodded happily, "Can you talk Jack? I asked hopefully I really was never good at charades and if this was going to be an ongoing thing I wanted to know about it now.
 
Jack nodded his head as if talking was something only he could do, "Then why are you so quiet?" I asked and just then his eyes grew wide and he gripped my arm tightly, "Are you scared?" He nodded again even more furiously then the last time. I looked around the strange room, in the unknown house, away from my family and friends. "I'm scared too." I said and his grip tightened and the movie started from the beginning.

Chapter 17 One Door Closes, One Door Opens

Chapter 17 One Door Closes, One Door Opens

Iyari's P.O.V.

I banged on the shutter door after I heard Parker scream and I had to help them. Then suddenly I spun around as a loud noise filled the kitchen area a mess of pots fell to the floor crashing and clanging. I wasn't alone in the room. I crouched down and hid next to the serving ramp for the food, and kept quiet. Then I saw them three of them racing to the shutter door throwing their bodies onto it trying to crash it open. I put my hand over my mouth and scurried around to the back of the serving ramp watching them, for a minute and then trying to see if there was any way I could get out of this room. Maybe the way they came in. I glanced in that direction but didn't really see anything. I looked back at the psychotics but they weren't there. I crawled under the ramp. Where were they? I pulled my knees close to my body, and wrapped my arms tightly around myself holding my breath. I didn't want to move.

Suddenly a clammy hand reached over and pulled at my dress roughly. I went to stand hitting my head on the top of the ramp and more hands reached in grabbing hold of my ankle. I reached down and quickly let the Velcro detach from my shoe as they pulled it off. I looked up and could see the small empty tray chute that hadn't been used since I've gotten here and started to crawl forward. The grabbing didn't stop they kept reaching for me and reaching for me. I kept going. I was out of breath and then I was out from underneath the ramp. I pushed a small cart to my right and the crazies ran right into it collapsing onto the floor. I let out a small shriek and climbed onto a small plastic chair into the chute. I slid down and then climbed off of it. I looked around they would try to follow me in and then I saw it the red button. I had no idea what it would do but it was next to the chute and I was hoping that it would close it. I scampered over to the button and pressed it. Immediately the chute started to close. I looked around there was a door I ran over clicked the lock and then ran over to a small metal cabinet. I opened the door emptied out the files in the bottom shelf and slid inside sealing myself in.
