Author's Note: I'm really sorry I haven't been writing new chapters in awhile, but I've been busy doing some practice driving and reading a book called Driving Skills Test Study Guide. My dad is really worried about me taking my driver's test, and making me do all these things. It's really boring. Anyways, here's chapter four. :D
Chapter 4
I've never felt so free before. Racing across the fields and seeing the world from a new perspective was the coolest thing that has ever happened to me…well at least that I can remember. The wind flying past my face felt amazing and Ray was having the time of his life. He's probably never been on a vehicle like this before, but that's just me guessing.
My powers just never seem to be done giving me surprises. First I was able to control technology, and then was able to create giant mechanical fists, and finally a motorcycle that can form from my own feet. After this experience, nothing will seem to surprise me.
"How far have we traveled?" Ray asked.
"I have no idea, but it looks like we've been driving all night." I gave a quiet yawn and looked off into the distance. The sun was barely coming up over the horizon.
"Really? We've been riding for that long?" Ray was a bit shock. We've been traveling for so long that we lost track of time.
"Yeah, I guess."
I began to slow down until I was at a complete stop. I knew I was unable to keep the machine into one piece, I was just too tired. Ray jumped off the levitating motorcycle and began stretching his legs from the long ride. The strange vehicle soon disappeared into my legs and I began stretching from sitting for all those hours.
"Let's just camp here for now. We'll need some rest if we want to continue moving."
I nodded my head in agreement and began walking towards a small area of trees. I was hoping that tonight, we could stay out of sight from Providence or the cops by hiding under the trees and bushes, but I still had a feeling that they weren't far behind. As I continued walking around, I found a soft area of moss lying on the cool forest floor. It wasn't as comfortable as bed, but it was something. I stared up at the night sky, seeing the sun pushing the night stars away. I started to close my eyes until I was out cold. I was extremely tired from all the running we've been doing.
Six was flying all night looking around to see if he could find Rex, but he was nowhere to be found. He reached out for his communicator to call Holiday, but he decided not to. He knew it was too early in the morning for Holiday to be up. He put his hand down and continued flying.
Suddenly, his communicator began going off. He reached out to answer it.
"Hey Six, its Holiday."
"Holiday? What are you doing calling at 4 in the morning?" His voice still had a strict tone, even though it was quit early in the morning.
"I just wanted to tell you that I lost Rex's biometric readings. They totally flat lined and I wasn't able to get the precious location where he was at."
"Did you at least find out what state he's in?"
"Yes. He's was last seen in the western parts of Pennsylvania."
"Thanks. I call you if anything happens."
"Rex."
I heard someone calling my name, but I was too tired to react. My body was not going to move from the ground.
"Rex, it's time to get up and get moving."
I, sadly, just realized that it was Ray and started to mumble, "Five more minutes."
"Fine, but don't go crying to me if we get caught by Providence."
I slowly lifted my body from the cool, wet moss. Ray was wide awake and ready to go, but I could sleep the whole rest of the day if I could. I looked up at the sky and the sun's rays could be seen through the leaves that were above our heads.
I stood up and began moving around, trying to wake myself up. I really wanted get moving and find something to eat, but I was still exhausted.
"Come on, we have a long day today and we can't waste it sitting here in the dirt."
I rubbed my eyes to keep them from shutting on me, "How are you so awake?"
"Sugar."
"Sugar?"
"Yes. Ever try drinking coke?"
"I never knew coke could work like coffee?"
"It works for me."
I just looked at him and shook my head with disgrace. There was so many things about Ray that I never will quit understand.
"Of course it does…"
We began walking out of the woods and double checking for any unwelcomed guest. I tried to activate my motorcycle that I created yesterday, but my powers weren't working. I'm guessing it was because of how tired I was, "Sorry Ray, but we're walking until my powers start working."
Ray began looking really depressed. He was probably really annoyed from all the running and walking that we've been doing. I patted him on the back and started to lead the way.
"So…any idea where we are?" Ray asked me.
"I have no clue; I really wasn't paying any attention to the signs."
We continued our walk through more farm fields and abandoned roads. It was a quiet walk and surprisingly, not much was going on. Ray kept pointing out random things that he thought were cool, but all I saw were boring farms and animals in the fields eating grass.
Minutes soon turned to hours and walking soon turned to running. We weren't really getting anywhere, but running felt like we were going farther down the roads. Time just seemed to stop through the breezes that blew through these quiet parts. It was a lot different than the city and I liked it, even though it was really boring.
Suddenly, a small grocery store was ahead of us. We both raced towards the door, hoping that they had some water bottles. Our mouths were really dry and we were really tired and weak from our long walk.
"Do you have any money?" Ray began asking, as if he was desperate.
"Only two bucks, It'll probably only going to get us one water bottle."
"Who cares, we'll just share it."
Ray and I walked into the store. It was a very small and it looked pretty much like a store you would see at gas station.
Ray quickly ran to the back of the store and grabbed a water bottle, "Victory!"
I began to chuckle from Ray's excitement for the bottled water. We walked up to the cashier to pay for the water bottle, but the cashier wasn't very happy seeing Ray.
"Get out of my store evo." He sounded angry and also annoyed seeing Ray in his store.
"Dude, what's your problem? I just wanted to buy a water bottle."
"I don't want any evo causing trouble in my store!" The elderly man began running to phone.
"We just want to buy a stupid water bottle!" Ray slammed his fist against the counter with the two dollars in his hand. He then sent the two dollars down and walked out of the store with the water bottle.
"You can keep the change, He mumbled.
As soon as we walked out of the store, the old man was still trying to get a hold of someone because of Ray's appearance.
"That guy was harsh." I whispered.
"He was being an as-" Ray was suddenly cut off.
A diamond like object quickly flew past us and ended up hitting the water bottle. The water was spilling onto the dry soil. I looked up from the spilt water and noticed three evos standing in front of the store. One of them looked like a biomechanical wolf standing on two hind legs, another one looked like a large reptile creature with an arm covered with crystals, and the last one looked like a school girl with two muscular arms, and two small, regular sized arms.
"WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT FOR! I JUST SPENT THE LAST BIT OF MONEY WE HAD FROM A GUY WHO"S RACIST AGAINST EVOS AND NOW I DON'T EVEN GET A SIP OF WATER BECAUSE OF YOU IDIOTS!"
Ray was already really upset and with these evos, ruining the only source of water we had and that source, coming from a store who hates evos…I'm not surprised he's upset.
Ray suddenly began shooting balls of fire like crazy, but those evos were fast. The wolf like evo quickly made his way behind Ray and ended up clawing at his back.
I jumped in battle and activated my mechanical fist. I quickly threw a punch at the evo and that wolf like evo went flying.
"Touch down!" I cheered, trying to make light of the subjects, but Ray was still too upset about the whole situation. The diamond lizard began shooting crystals at us, but I was able to protect us with the metal my fists were made of.
"What's with all this fighting Biowulf?"
A looked up, trying to see who said that. Ray and I both noticed a tall man, with a pale white face. He had long black hair and one of his arms was covered in a golden medal.
The man slowly turned his head until he was looking me straight in the eye. I had a sudden chill rolling down my back. I knew that there was something not right with this man.
The man gave a small grin, "Rex, what are you doing here in the middle of nowhere without Providence?"
I gave him a very confused look and I turned to Ray for support, but he looked just as confused as I did.
Ray leaned over and began to whisper something to me, "Do you know this guy?"
"No, I've never seen him before." I whispered backed.
He started to walk towards me and I began walking backwards, "What do you want?"
"Nothing really, except answers. Like why are you all the way in the middle of nowhere without Providence assistance?"
"I…I don't know what you're talking about." I didn't know what to say. This guy somehow knew me, but there was something not right about him.
He gave me a strange look, "Rex, don't play dumb with me." He reached out his claw like hand near my face.
I did a sudden reaction, and smashed his body with my giant mechanical fist. The man went flying through the store window, but by the time he got up, Ray and I where long gone. (And you know how I said early nothing will surprise me…yeah…well I lied.)
"What should we do master?" Biowulf asked.
"Let them run, they won't be that hard to catch." Van Kleiss answered
"Why would you say that?"
"Rex is hiding something, and it won't take long for me to find out."
I finally got chapter four up! Yay! I hope you guys like it and I'll try to post the next chapter a lot faster than last time. Sorry about making you guys wait so long.
