THE QUIET ONE
Chapter Three-
{Allyn's P.O.V.}
"Yes, Allyn?" Mrs. Hall sighed, looking up from her fashion magazine.
"May I use the restroom?" Allyn asked impatiently, tapping her foot on the tile floor.
"Yes. Make it quick," Allyn nodded and swiftly left the room.
She breathed a sigh of annoyance and headed for the window. Steps echoing in the hall made Allyn stop halfway to the window. Hearing them stop and guessing they were hers, she stepped in front of the window.
She didn't see the boy, just parked neutral-colored cars. Allyn clenched her jaw and squeezed her fists. A gut feeling made her anxious like she knew something wasn't right.
"A threat is in the building! I repeat, a threat is in the building!" The intercom squawked above her head.
The urgency is the voice made goose bumps rise on Allyn's skin. She heard shoes skidding on the waxed floors. Breaking into a quick run, she glanced over her shoulder, there stood the blond-headed boy. His blue eyes blank, but a smile was stuck on his face. A slight breeze from the AC made his ripped t-shirt flutter. In his hand was a new looking revolver.
Allyn felt her throat tighten as she heard the footsteps of the advancing boy quicken.
"Allyn! What are you doing?" Mrs. Hall hissed as she passed the door.
Allyn didn't say anything as she turned to look at the boy. He pointed the gun at Mrs. Hall and shot her in between the eyes, just staring at Allyn with a wicked smile. She gasped as Mrs. Hall fell against the wall and slumped down, blood running down her wide nose and dripping on her white blouse.
"What do you want?" Allyn whispered, hands shaking as she pressed them against the wall behind her.
"Revenge," He whispered loud enough from her to hear.
Allyn stepped back, her back grazing the wall. Something flickered at the edge of Allyn's vision. She turned her head to see Lacy walking down the hallway. Her mouth twisted in a stomach-wrenching smile. Lacy passed Allyn and stood besides the boy.
Allyn realized that they looked very similar. Their pale blue eyes had the same iciness to them. Their hair was one shade lighter than the others.
"Meet my brother. Palmer," She leaned her head on his shoulder.
Palmer tilted his head and lowered the gun.
"So she's the one that hurt you?" His voice gravely.
Lacy nodded. "Almost broke my nose," She stuck out her bottom lip and looked like she was about to cry.
"You made fun of my brother, Lacy. No one gets away with that," Allyn jeered, taking a step forward.
Palmer pointed the gun her chest. "Don't try anything, Allyn," He spat out her name.
"Oh, I'll try everything, whether you like it or not," She slowly walked forward, until the gun rested over her heart.
"Go ahead and kill her. Maybe then she can go crying to her brother," Lacy snickered.
Allyn took that moment when they both were laughing to kick Palmer in the crotch and twist his arm around so the gun pointed to ceiling. She bent his fingers back so his grip loosened on the gun.
Lacy went white as Allyn pointed the gun on her. Palmer doubled over, groaning next to her.
"Wanna say something else about my brother?" Allyn teased, a triumphant smile on her face.
"Put the weapon down!" Allyn heard a hard voice behind her.
She turned her head to see S.W.A.T standing behind her. She slowly placed the gun on the ground and put her hands up.
"Kick the gun towards us!" One of them yelled.
Allyn was pushed the ground and someone grabbed the gun before she could make a move. She felt a foot press into back, she gritted her teeth in pain as the foot dug into her ribs.
"Put the gun down!"
"Make me," It was Lacy.
One of the men lifted his gun. Lacy tensed up. She swiftly pulled Allyn up and positioned her in front of herself. Lacy shot the gun into the crowd of black-clothed men.
Allyn screamed as bullets hit her body. Lacy let go of her and Allyn fell to the ground. Blood pooled around Allyn's body and soaked her blue t-shirt. Her breathing was ragged and heavy.
Allyn slowly, and painfully, stretched her arm out and grabbed Lacy's ankle. She yanked with all her strength. Lacy pulled the trigger in surprise as she slipped in the blood.
Gunshots ringed through the hallway as Lacy dropped the gun and fell to her knees. She was holding her neck, blood squirting out between her fingers. Someone shot another bullet that penetrated her chest, where her heart was.
Lacy went white and her pale eyes fluttered closed. Allyn flinched as Lacy's head banged against the tile floor. The clanking of boots filled the hallway as Allyn set her head on the cold floor. Her temple stung as the tile touched her skin.
"She's dying," A man whispered.
"There's nothing we can do," Another one said.
Allyn closed her dark eyes and listened to the beating of her heart that had filled her ears. It got slower and softer until Allyn couldn't hear it anymore. With her last breath, she fell silent in the blood filled hallway of her middle school.
"Do you think she can hear us?" A gentle voice brought Allyn out of her slumber.
"Shh. I think she's awake," Another voice sounded from her left.
Allyn blinked open her eyes to find herself staring at two cats. Wincing as she stood, she looked to one cat to the other.
"Hello. I'm Dog," A muscular, pale yellow tomcat with striking amber eyes mewed.
"And I'm Sky," A slender silver-gray she-cat with pale-dark green eyes mewed.
Allyn stepped back in shock. How do I know what they're saying? She thought. She looked to the ground; she jerked head back after seeing dark brown paws.
"Are you okay?" Sky stepped forward, gaze gentle.
"N-No. I don't know where I am," She gasped, feeling light-headed.
"Sky, grab her and we'll go back to our shelter," Dog flicked his tail.
Sky nodded and picked Allyn up by the scruff. The silver-gray she-cat padded away from the small clearing Allyn found was lying in. Allyn figured out she was a small kitten, a dark brown one, possibly. What am I doing her? She wondered.
"So, what's your name?" Dog asked softly, sliding under a fallen tree.
Allyn's mind went blank. What is my name? She thought.
"I don't know," She admitted.
"Don't worry about it. One of our mothers can name you if you want," Dog mewed, looking back at Sky and her.
Allyn blinked and they stayed quiet the rest of the way. The forest was dappled with orange sunlight from the setting sun. Leafs rustled and murmured as a breeze caressed them gently. Thumping of Dog's and Sky's steps were in unison as they trekked across the shaded pine forest.
"Here we are!" Dog chirped as we entered a enormous clearing, a small shed-like house sat in the middle that was surround with small crepe myrtles.
Sky set Allyn down and she limped after the she-cat. She gave Allyn a gentle look and held the doggy door open.
"This is our so called home," Dog sighed. "Not much room or privacy, but it's warm in the fall and winter,"
They know the seasons? I thought in surprise. Sky led my over to a gray tabby.
"This is Storm," Sky mewed, sitting by her.
"Hello. What's your name?" Storm asked.
"Uh, I don't have one," I whispered looking at my paws.
"Burn," Silver murmured.
"Silver! That is not how you speak to new den members," Storm scolded her.
"No, mama. Burn for her name," Silver smiled.
Storm looked back to Allyn. "She does look burnt,"
"There's your new name," Sky smiled.
"I like it. Burn," Allyn, or Burn, murmured.
A great start to my new life. She thought, laying down beside Sky.
"Good night, Burn," Storm whispered.
"Good night," Burn quietly mewed back.

How'd I do? I tried to be more descriptive and make this as long as the others, but I felt like this was a great place to stop it. :D Also, sorry for the delay. One excuse; school.
Until Next Time. -Quiet Shadows
