Anyway on with 'Unexpected':

Learning To Hide

"Run…run…" my mind was screaming at me, my heart beat was beating heavily and my breathing was ragged. I turned my head to look and Katy, she was shaking. Putting a finger to my lips I gestured to her to be quiet as my other arm guided her to hide behind the door. Abruptly the noise on the stairs stopped. "Damn, how do I get us out of here?!" I thought as I listened to the rough breathing of the person mere feet away from me on the stairs. "Front door? No. Their on the stairs..." my mind was sifting through my options…"Charlie? What do we do?!" whimpered Katy. Then it hit me… the window, it was our only chance.

"Honey, I need you to help me. When I say so I want you to run to the window and climb down the tree. Whatever happens run and don't you dare look back!" I whispered to her. Slowly her eyes widened with the realisation of what I was suggesting. "No I can't leave you!" she spoke back, far too loudly. In that instant my breathing hitched, it seemed like slow motion as the figure on the stairs scaled the rest of the way in mere bounds. I lunged for the door the same time they did, reaching it first I managed to lock it. I turned to see that Katy had already opened the window. The banging and thrashing at the door sounded like an animal as we shimmied our way down the tree to safety.

The second our feet hit the ground the pair of us broke into a flat out sprint to neighbours house. Conveniently the chief of police was our neighbour. I started screaming for help and banging on the door. Lights flicked on in the once dark house as the door opened to reveal Chief Brown in his navy dressing gown we stumbled inside. "Girls what the hell is going on?!" he demanded. Breathing in and out to regain my ability to speak I broke down. As for Katy she collapsed alongside me, both of us sobbing our eyes out.

After that the next several hours seemed like a blur or a surreal horrifying dream. All I remember clearly is there was a phone call, policemen everywhere asking questions and demanding answers. The two us just sat there woodenly, when Chief Brown broke the silence and told us that our parents had been killed… no not murdered but mutilated and destroyed. Shock washed over me, who or why would someone do this to them?! A heavy sigh drew me from my trance, "there is something you both need to know. Hmmm…. how do I say this. Your parents were killed by what we would call an enemy agent" he explained. "What? You mean to tell me that our parents were some kind of agent? Like government? No way that can't be possible… can it? I muttered.

Both Katy and I sat there dumbfounded; trying to process everything we were just told. Abruptly, one of the officers spoke up, "we need to get these two out of here and somewhere safe until these people are caught and put to justice." "I agree completely" said a new voice. A woman with shoulder length curly brown hair in a tailored suit approached us. "My name is Jackie Walsh, I walked with your parents. I am so sorry for your loss. Ok people listen up we are putting these two girls under the care of there only existing family" stated Miss Walsh. "What?! Wait, that would mean we hare going to Japan?" questioned Katy through her dried up tears. "Exactly" smirked Miss Walsh…

One Week Later…

A week, seven long tiring and confusing days it has taken us. Moving us to Japan, to stay with out Uncle Tom only took three nights. Still mourning our parents, still haunted by the experience, we now have to suffer through another nightmare. The fear of being found, the need to stay hidden incredible… so what can make this any worse?

They decided because the pair of us are still young and still need an education we are being sent to school. However, not just any school, we were being condemned to suffer at what was known as The Ouran Academy. Apparently this place was the best school for miles around and Uncle Tom was insisting we attend it. It was all decided and paid for; meaning tomorrow Katy and I were to start school again.

Nothing can go wrong right? I mean what can make this place so different?
