Chapter 2

"Are you coming?" said Rachel. "Yeah I'm ready but…." the boy staired deep into her eyes where mystery seemed to wonder. But, what?" "It's nothing" said the blonde haired boy. "Alright then let's get the hell outta here!" "Alright let's go," said Ben as he climbed out of the window with Rachel onto the town's street.

The two kids ran down the street hoping no one would see them while it was dark outside and question what they were doing.

"Holy crap it's cold!" Rachel told Ben as she took out her sweatshirt and wrapped it around herself. Ben could see something sticking out of the pocket but wasn't sure he should ask what it was.

They traveled for about an hour until they had reached the end of the town.

There was a sign that said "No one past this point! There are dangerous creatures out there that can harm you and without the protection of the city you are liable to be injured or in a worse case scenario face death."

As Ben read the sign that same feeling came over him as he had as when they were leaving his house.

"What's the problem now?" Rachel asked Ben. "I don't know I just feel like once we leave this place we'll never be able to come back." "And what's the problem with that?" "Well, what if we ever want to come back and see the people we left or want to see where we grew up at?" "I never want to come back to this sad place of a town where no one can be free," she replied. "I guess your right," he said as they took there first steps out of the town.

All of the sudden both of them heard a siren going off and thinking it was for them they ran off as fast as they could leaving the town for the last time they thought they would see it.

"Let's get out of here!!" said a man in his late 20's. The man had brown hair was relatively tall for a young man with broad shoulders and was wearing a black and red suit with a giant R on it. Next to the man stood a meowth holding a bag of money in his mouth.

"Chill out!!" said the one of the other two mysterious figures by the man. He was tall and skinny with short spiky red hair. The other rocket member was quite an attractive girl who was pretty curvy with long straight black hair running down her back.

The meowth tugged on the brown haired rocket member and as he looked over he saw the cops coming. "Well what are we waiting for?" he asked. "We can't leave without the maps that the boss wants," replied the young woman.

"Do I have to do everything?" said the red haired member. As he ran up to safe the other two members stood far back. A loud explosion ran through the bank and the red haired member flew back. "That was a close one," he said as he laughed.

And with that they were out of there before the cops even got close to the bank.

After the two kids could run as far as there legs would take them they looked for a place to camp.

"Over there looks good!" Rachel exclaimed. She ran over to the spot laying in the soft sand on the outskirts of the only road that looked like it went on forever.

"Whatever's fine with me," joked Ben. "Let's just hope those sirens weren't for us," he said still catching his breath. And as the sun set and the two kids set up camp they staired up at the stars appearing one by one wondering what was lying ahead to come.
