Chapter 4 Sanctuary

Chapter 4 Sancutary

"I knew you'd come for me. I knew you'd come back!" Mallory cried as she showered Warren's face with kisses. He was smiling and holding her in the back seat.

"I love you so much." he said hugging her so tightly I thought she might bust. I looked over at Scotty. He kept glancing at the rearview mirror. I wanted him to talk to me tell me something, anything. I turned around to check if the other car was still following us.

"So what the fuck happened back there? We left you guys in Courtney's and you end up next door." he looked over at me, I told him everything that had happened, Mallory's plan, the ladder bridge, the Badias, Kevin's stitches, and the struggle we had had before they arrived.

"What about you did you find help?" I asked, he looked back in the rear view mirror.

"Sort of, I'll catch you up later. I just want to make sure that we get to the high school okay." he said, and then i felt his warm hand on mine, "I'm glad your okay." he said and smiled. I melted on the inside and then his hand was back on the steering wheel.

"So who are those people in the other car?" I asked, I could see people running out of there homes, and screaming for help. It was breaking me seeing them like that, but we couldn't help them. We couldn't stop.

"Lacheya and George, we saw them near the school with about nine others. We needed help, our Mom was pretty bad." Scotty said, and Mallory stopped making out and unstraddled Warren.

"Your Mom, is she okay?" Mallory asked Warren brushing a strand of hair out of his face. They were quiet, and I was thinking the worst.

"Our Dad he went after her. She uh . . . isn't doing good." Scotty answered, looking over at me. "Aaron we um... found your dad and Kevin's mom." His face said it all, that they weren't okay. That they were either dead, or killing people. I looked out the window, and Mallory's hand was on my shoulder. "They attacked us." he finished and I knew that he had either killed them or fought them off.

"I don't wanna know anymore." I closed my eyes to blackout the world. When I opened them I gasped as we crashed into someone. Scotty hit the brakes and the car spun, and swerved. Mallory screamed out and Warren grabbed a hold of her. I watched the world spin, and then tip over. The glass crashed inward and sprayed all over me. My head was seeing stars and I could barely move. I was aching. I unfastened my seat belt and fell to the roof. Mallory slid out of the broken window and then helped me out. I shook my head, and held onto her for support. Scotty and Warren got out of the car next, Warren had gotten a small cut on his head, and it looked like Scotty had hurt his right leg. The car that Parker was riding in pulled up immediately, and one of the passenegr doors opened.

I helped Mallory in and went in after her. "Oh my God are you okay?" Parker asked, She was in the baggage compartment with Kevin. While The Badias were all in the second row of passneger seats, and we now filled the first. When Scotty got in the car he closed the door and the old man drove off.

"We're fine." Scotty said and held his leg.

"You don't look fine." Lacheya said.

"Its nothing." Scotty snapped and she backed off. I looked over to the back and Iyari was asleep.

"Are you guys okay?" I asked Alessandro.

"Yes, we are thanks to you. You saved my daughter's life and wife's twice tonight." he said and grabbed my shoulder, "Thank you." he said and Isabella smiled at me.

"No problem." I said and looked over at Parker, "How is he?"

She looked up at me, "Nothing I think he's out again. I think Mallory's right. He needs blood." I nodded.

"And you?" I asked.

"Just my wrist from the fall earlier but its nothing." she said, and I wasn't sure but I think she winked. The school was coming up soon. I looked at Mallory who had her head on Warren's shoulder, and I wanted desprately to be near Scott. We saw the school and pulled right up to the front doors.

Lacheya turned around and looked at us, "Okay first things first Warren you, me, and the the kid next to your girl bring in the guy in the back. The rest of you get inside as quick as you can. Now that includes you too nurse blondie." Parker looked up and smiled nastily, "George you wait until everyone is inside before you lock up." he nodded. "Okay lets go." She said and jumped out of the van. I swing open my passenger door and ran to the back to help get my step brother out of the back seat.Warren was there and Lacheya the back popped open and we grabbed him quickly. Parker was out of the van like a bolt of lightning but instead of going right inside helped us bring him in. We got into the school and laid him on the linoleum floor, The Badias ran in next, Mallory and Scotty were already inside and that made everybody George slammed the doors shut and slid the keys in the lock sealing the doors.
