Bought For Slavery
Chapter 6
Cloud and Denzel raced through the blackened streets in the pouring rain. Denzel and Cloud were both soaked with rain water. "Cloud please slow down or we'll hydroplane!" yelled Denzel.
Cloud did slow down to about 45 miles an hour. Denzel sighed in relief. If we get into an accident, I'm going to kill you Cloud, thought Denzel.
Cloud started to go onto a country road. This roads led into the forest where there were no lights except for Cloud's motorcycle lights. "Where are we?" asked Denzel. "We're going to see some friends," answered Cloud.
In a few minute they were outside of a cabin. Cloud led Denzel inside to where there was a roaring fire. "We're back," answered Cloud.
Marlene was kneeling near the fire. Reno and Rude were still standing next to Rufus who still confined to a wheelchair since his "incident."
When Marlene heard the door she stood up, not knowing who was outside. her heart did a back flip when she saw it was the 2 men she cared about most in the world. She stood and ran to Denzel and pounced on him.
"I thought I'd never see you again," she answered. "Same here," answered Denzel. Cloud walked over to Shinra. "Thanks," he said. "Anytime," said Shinra. "I've always loved kids," he said. He looked at Cloud. "You might want to change before you catch ammonia," he said. Cloud went back outside to grab his necessitates.
He came back in and saw that Denzel and Marlene were side by side asleep near the warm fire. He looked at them both. "I'll protect these 2 with my life," he whispered as he headed to the back room to change clothes.
Reno thought it was sweet to see the two kids all cuddled up together. "What should we do with the kids wet clothes?" he asked. "Leave them be for now. When he wakes, we'll let him change. Got any extra clothes his size?" he asked.
"Ill take them back to the orphanage for them to gather their stuff, which reminds me that I have to call the old woman at the orphanage. She's probably having a heart attack worrying about Marlene," said Cloud who had a huge comforter in his hands along with 3 pillows.
He was dressed in blue jeans with a black sweater.
Cloud lied down next to the kids after throwing the comforter over the 3 of them. "Keep your voices low," said Cloud. He got 3 pillows and placed them under the kids heads then under his as they breathed themselves into a deep slumber.
Rufus, Reno, and Rude, after turning off all the lights, went to the master bedroom upstairs. "He really cares for those 2," said Reno. "He doesn't want them to end up like Aerith did," said Rude. "That's enough talk for today," said Rufus as he too climbed into bed on his own.
Reno and Rufus took the floor and soon the whole cabin was asleep.
