Chase slams on the breaks, just as the traffic light changed from green to red. Red. He always hated that color. It was the color of mental heartbreak, and horrible things like: blood, death —although, that was more reddish black—, and Satan.
Chase drummed his fingers on the steering wheel, watching impatiently for the light to turn green. Awesome, colorful green. He looked over at the clock on his dashboard which read: 12:45 A.M. It was 12:45 and he left at eleven. He'd been driving for one hour and forty-five minutes already!
He sighs and looks down at his lap, which was buzzing. Well. His lap wasn't buzzing, his phone was. He looked at his phone, it lighting up to see who was calling. Facing straight up, Chase declined the call, and went back to drumming his fingers on the steering wheel. Finally, the light turned green.
Chase knew he was going to be on the road for a while, so he debated with himself. Drive to a motel and sleep there for a night, OR keep driving till he reached Kennedy Ohio. He chose the motel.
As he stopped, he began to looka down on his life. His big brother Adam would tease him. Leo would laugh, and Tasha would roll her eyes. He had to concentrate so hard, to not let Spike take over. He did it on a couple of occasions (mostly on his brother), but he shut it down eventually.
Chase parks his car at the hotel inn, and gets out. He started walking to the door, his hands in his pockets. But shuffling in the alleyway beside the motel stopped that. He stared down the alley, and used his heat sensor. There! Beside the dumpster, was a small, frail, moving figure. He walked to it, carefully making out all the dark spaces in the alley.
He finally reached the dumpster, and peered beside it. Beside the dumpster, was a girl. A beautiful but battered looking girl. Chase studied her. She seemed familiar. Then his head shot up in realization. He knew why she looked familiar!
She was his adopted sister!
Welp. I deleted my first entry for this story (the one that had all those crappy codes) and hopefully, it won't do those crappy codes with this chapter! :)
