Chapter 2: Ties that Bind

Scene 1: Alleyway

(The Creature took me to her place. Judging by what she is wearing, I knew she was poor. But the place she took me was somewhat far from that.)

Girl: It may not be much, but here we are.

Me: You actually took some time working on this do you?

Girl: I know.

(Like I said, It was similar to what I expected, but she had a fire running, a shopping cart filled with her belongings, and cans of chicken soup with her.)

Girl: (cough) (cough)

Me: Are you alright?

Girl: Yeah, I caught the sniffles a few whiles back.

(Somehow I made a new friend.)

Scene 2: Alleyway, the Next Day

(I woke up and found out that it was snowing.)

Me: Hey, wake up. It's snowing!

Girl(mumbling): Prism, not now.

(I grabbed some snow and put it all over her.)

Girl: I'm awake!

Me: It's snowing.

Girl: This means war...

(We had fun playing in the snow. I asked her what her name was, she couldn't remember. So I called her Pipsqueak because of her cute voice. She didn't mind though.)

Pipsqueak: Want to make a snow angel?

Me: I bet I can make one faster than you!

(We both lied down and made our snow angels.)

Me: This is so much fun!

Scene 3: Alleyway, 1 week later

(It took me a week to forget everything that troubled me. My mom, my dad, my brother and sister Thunder and Lightning respectively. I never knew how I got here, but I don't want to go back.)

Pipsqueak: Good night, Prism.

Me: Good night, Pipsqueak.

Scene 4: Dream

(I found myself lying in my own bed.)

Me: I guess it really was a dream.

Neutron(from off): Prism, you're going to have to see this!

Me: Coming!

(Knowing Dad, I knew he was going to show me some fancy gadget. but it wasn't. He in the living room with my brother and sister.)

Thunder: Your going to love this Prism.

Lightning: Hey, I want to show her!

Thunder: No, me!

(My mom walked from the kitchen.)

Me: Mommy!

(I ran to my mother. Only to be blocked by some invisible force. Then my mothers's eyes glowed red.)

Paint Swirl?: Goodbye.

Scene 5: Alleyway

Me: No!

(I was back in the alleyway. I guess the "Mom's back" thing was really just a dream. I take it back from what I said of never going back.)

Pipsqueak: Prism?

Me: Yeah?

Pipsqueak: Did you have a nightmare?

Me: Yes.

Pipsqueak: Want to sleep right by me?

Me: Sure.

(I slept right near Pipsqueak for tonight. But I had to tell her that I can't stay here for long. Maybe tomorrow.)
