Chapter Two

4 months later…

"Happy Fourth of July!" My family chorused, standing around the grill.

"Autumn, go get the sparklers and fireworks." My mother ordered. I stepped inside and closed the sliding glass window.

I was in my living room, with a huge flat screen TV facing a black leather sectional couch, a small, tan, wooden coffee table, on top of a contemporary red area rug. The floor was dark hardwood pieces, and the walls, were a pale purple, with various underwater artwork.

I trudged through the living room, passing my annoying little brother on the way, walked into the kitchen and exited out the side door, that lead to our gray concrete garage. The fireworks and sparklers were placed on top of the highest shelf, a place where my mom obviously knew I couldn't reach.

I jumped up and grabbed a box of poppers and put them down on the hood of my dad's car. I jumped again, and grabbed the big box, full of different silly string cans, sparklers, poppers, noisemakers, and mini fireworks.

Lugging the big box of worthless junk back to the patio, I groaned at how no one offered to help with the load.

"Here she comes." My mother grinned brightly, as I rolled my eyes, setting the heavy box down.

"Your welcome." I snapped.

At that moment, I felt a little hand grab something from my back jean pocket. I whipped around. My little brother Alan was holding the flash drive I found.

"Give it back." I commanded.

"Your not the boss of me." He complained.

Alan inched closer to the edge of the pool, gesturing like he was going to throw it.

"Don't you dare!" I enforced.

"Alright I won't throw your precious flash drive into the pool." Alan insisted.

But as soon as I turned my back, I heard a little, tiny, to small to be human, splash coming from the pool.


More backstory and information about the explosion and flash drive will be coming soon. Hang in there. Avengers and Matrix will be coming in shortly. Please Review!
