Chapter nine – Together
Back in Anna's POV. YAY!
Two Hours Later
After the traumatic event of Preston being taken by a giant bird and plummeting to the ground, I went back to my house, making everyone stay. "What. The. Hell." Charles said. They all looked at me. "What happened?" Cary asked.
"Did you try to kill him?" Martin asks. Alice hits him in the back of the head.
"It was a giant bird, guys."
"Are you serious?" Joe asks.
"Yes. It grabbed him and throw him off the ladder of the water tower. It was huge and freaking scary, man" They all stare at me for a few moments.
"I don't believe you" All the boys said. Only Alice said; "I believe you. I think we have another monster"
"A monster bird? You can't be serious? That sounds so stupid!" Charles exclaims.
"I'm not going against another evil thing, people." Martin says. Nobody was shocked by that comment, to be totally honest.
"I would love to blow it up" Cary says.
"Of course you would, you pyromaniac basturd" Charles tells him.
"Fine, if you don't want to, then we will" Alice says, pointing between me and herself. "Yeah!" It sounded like a good idea to me. In the back of my mind, I wondered if Preston would want to do this if he ever wakes up again. I'm pretty sure I convinced him to go rogue against his own self, which is progress in his case.
"No, I still want too" Cary nodded hastily. He was always ready to blow things up. This suddenly reminds me that we hadn't blown anything up tonight. Dimmit Preston! You always funk us up. Cary must have known that too, since he shakes his bag and says; "After all, I have a lot more explosives."
"Alright boys," I look at Joe, Charles, and Martin, "How about you?"
"As long as Ally is doing it, so am I" Joe replies.
"Aw, how sweet!" Cary jokes. Joe playfully punches his shoulder and smiles. "I guess I will. I'm not about to chicken out." We all stared at Martin, who was the last to answer. "Yeah, I guess. As long as I get more girls" My eyes stare at him. "You are hopeless"
"Yeah, Smartin"
"So I guess this is it. Time to take down a bird" I throw my hand in the middle of our circle. Reluctantly, everyone did too, and I made up my whole cheer in my head.
"When we're bored in our rooms
And there's nothing better to do,
We grab our things…..
And get ready to shoot"
Then we throw our hands in the air and we are now officially a group. I am now officially in the group.
This is going to be so fun.
