Chapter Ten

Abigail was still sitting at the park bench but had pulled out a blank notebook and began drawing some kids on the playground, couples walking around the park, parents on benches watching their children, the ocean near by and even the play ground itself with its swings, slides, bridges and tunnels. As a matter of fact, one thing she noticed that she hadn't noticed before, something drawn in the tunnel. Feet. She was confused, she didn't understand, she thought it was something else but couldn't be sure. She quickly got up, staring at her drawing and walking over to the tunnel. She then set it down and bent to see in the tunnel. She was right. There was someone inside.

"Hello?" She said tapping on the boot of the stranger.

The legs of the stranger began moving and suddenly scooted out of the tunnel. It was a girl. A girl with long black hair and blue eyes.

"Were you sleeping in there?" Abigail asked.

"Yup," the girl said as she stretched.

"Why?"

"I ran away, I used to sleep in there when I was a kid and I didn't want to go back home after what had happened," the girl explained.

"I ran away too! Well this morning. My mom grounded me so I ran away. I'm Abigail."

"Hope."

The girls shook hands and began walking. Abigail led Hope to the bench she was sitting on so she could get her bag. "So do you have any siblings?"

"Yeah, two annoying little brothers. They always get in my stuff and in my room and I never have my privacy! It drives me insane! And my mom doesn't even care! She just says crap like, give them time sweet heart, they're just kids, they'll get out sooner or later," Hope said, mimicking her mothers voice.

Abigail giggled. "My mom is kind of the same. I have three sisters and two brothers. My mom cares for me less even if I'm the second oldest. She just worries about the little ones. My oldest sister, Karen, is in collage and the other two are like best friends. But Jessica is like my best friend she wouldn't even tell my mom that I ran away; I hope. Then my two baby twin brothers are all my mom talks about. My dad is never home so I never see him. This is turning out to be a cruddy summer."

"Me too. My dad got in a car accident a few months ago," Hope said sadly.

"Oh, I'm so sorry," Abigail said.

"It's ok; he was never the father type anyway. He was always hitting me and calling me worthless. I can't say that I hate him or miss him," Hope sighed then stopped talking altogether.

They got to the bench that Abigail was sitting on and stopped. Abigail stared in skepticism.

"What's wrong?" Hope asked.

"My bag! It's gone!" Abigail said nervously.

"What's it look like?"

Abigail began looking around. She then gasped out of no where. "It looks like that!" She shouted, pointing to a man walking away with her bag in his hand. "He stole it!" Abigail ran forward.

"Abigail! What are you doing!?"

Abigail reached for her bag and began pulling on it but the man just gripped it harder. "Let go! This is my bag! Stealing is a crime!"

The man then swung the bag around making it slip from Abigail's grasp. He stuck a switch blade to her face and backed her up against a tree.

Hope gasped frighteningly.

Abigail's breathing was fast and nonstop. And…hot. She was breathing hard, her mouth open wide to the blade only inches from her face. Then her breath reached the blade…and melted it! The whole silver blade melted and fell to the ground. Only the handle was left and a very surprised and scared man. He dropped both the bag and the handle of the blade and ran.

Hope shockingly walked up to Abigail, speechlessly stunned. "How'd you do that!?"

"I-I don't know," Abigail said as she reached for her bag and swung it around her shoulders. "Let's just keep going and forget this every happened, ok?"

Hope followed Abigail but was still too scared to speak. They were speechless for a long time until they stopped from a sudden heat blowing in front of them.

A whole building was bursting in flames. Fire sprung everywhere; firemen surrounded the street, blocking it off completely.

Abigail and Hope stared as they tried to put out the fire but couldn't. There was too much and their little hoses weren't big enough.

"Man! I hate fire!" Abigail said. "Let's walk back; I don't want anything bad to happen. With me, it normally does."

Hope sighed, looking at the red fire hydrant in front of her. She sat on it. "Why couldn't they just use this big thing to put out the fire? I bet if this top came off then it would put out the entire fire!"

Abigail looked at her as she began shaking.

"What?" Hope looked down and noticed that the fire hydrant was shaking! "Uh oh."

The entire thing just suddenly exploded, shooting her into the air and crashing to the ground.

"Hope!!" Abigail ran over to her new friend to see if she was ok. As some sprinkling water squirted them, two unfamiliar girls who had seen what had happened, walked up to them to see if Hope was alright.

"Are you ok!" The brown haired girl said.

Hope sat up. "You know, that's exactly what I wanted to happen."

They all looked over to the fire hydrant which was still spraying the building and surprisingly putting out the entire fire!!

All their mouths dropped.

"Hi, I'm Abigail," she said reaching for the brown haired girl to shake hands.

"Teresa."

"Hope."

"Adrienne."

They all smiled as they helped Hope stand.

"You know that thing probably won't stop," Adrienne said, once the fire had gone out. "It's connected down into the pipes."

"If only it could stop long enough for the firemen to cover it with something," Hope said as they all walked away.

Behind them, unnoticed, the fire hydrant stopped. The firemen quickly covered it with a big metal container and sealed it on tightly then let go. No water came out, it was completely solid.
