This chapter is a bit shorter than normal, but I finally got off of my butt and wrote it. The last OC will be introduced next chapter. I am, still, planning a sequel that I reeeaaaalllyyy want to write, so I want to get this done quickly. Have fun reading.
Characters:
Jerome (POV)
The group
One person to be introduced in the chapter, another you'll need to infer.
Bajan started walking towards the Ferris Wheel. I followed him; he normally doesn't just wander off. Finally, I looked ahead and saw that there was somebody collapsed on the other side of the Ferris Wheel. Catching up with Bajan, we walked towards the parson, who was a girl, and hefted her up. She was fairly light and didn't weigh us down much. I'm just surprised that no one else noticed that we had left.
I cleared my throat to get someone's attention, "Er... A little help here?"
"Oh God... Who is she?" Kate asked.
"I don't know. I saw her collapse just a minute ago," Bajan told them.
We put her on a table, one of her legs hanging off of the side. Bajan put two fingers to her neck and waited a bit.
"She seems to be only unconscious. I'm not finding any injuries and her heart beat is normal. She's also breathing."
"Well, we really need to get going. It's... about 1:00 and waiting won't get us there. Two people, take her and... Well, she'll have to ride in the bed. We don't have enough room up front," Megan told us.
Bajan and I picked her up, him carrying her by her arms behind me, me carrying her legs in front. We walked slower than everyone else, but we didn't need to be responsible for dropping her or something like that.
Crawling up into the back of the car, we lied her down and sat on the sides of the bed. Cal, Ssundee, and Sky were with us, too.
"Glad you could join us!" Sky announced.
"I'm glad, too!" Bajan said back.
Megan fired up the car and drove off of the sidewalk, jarring everyone in the back. Cal knocked his knuckle on the back window and got the point across to Sparklez to open the window.
"Why'd you drive up onto the curb?" Cal yelled at Megan once the window was open.
"I pulled up onto it because of you!" I heard from the front.
"Oh, I feel so loved!" Cal shouted at her.
"No problem!" She yelled back.
Sparklez soon closed the window, probably because it was getting cold out. At this point, we had all shrunk down into the bed of the pick-up because of the wind. Cal didn't have on a jacket and seemed to be the warmest here.
I looked down at the unconscious girl. She was wearing a white tank top with grey sweatpants. The sweatpants had something hanging off of the back, perhaps something to cover her top. Her hair was sprawled out around her head. It was a dark brown, but the tips were black. She was wearing black boots as shoes; I wondered why she wore them.
"Jerome? Earth to Jerome!" Bajan yelled at me.
"Wha? Oh, sorry. Spacing off," I replied.
Bajan had a smug look on his face, "Thinkin' that she'll be your girlfriend?"
"What? No! She's freaking unconscious! I don't even know her name!" I nudged Bajan back.
"Rawr. Cat fight," Cal laughed.
I just noticed that Sky hadn't said word one for... about 20 minutes now. Looking over at him, he was curled up in a ball. And drooling.
"Uh... guys? You seein' this?" I asked quietly.
"Duh," Cal said while pulling something out of his pocket.
He pulled out the same device Megan had used a few times. He swiped around a bit and held it up towards Sky.
"What is that thing again?" Bajan asked.
He still held it up, "A phone."
Ssundee was huddled near the back of the bed, "Did you guys ever know that he did this?"
"Nope, but it sure is funny," I told him, Cal putting the phone down.
Cal slid next to me and showed Bajan and I the picture. It was a surprisingly high resolution.
Sky randomly snored and shifted onto Ssundee, snuggling with him.
"Okay, this is getting weird, dudes. Should we wake him up?" Ssundee asked.
"One second," Cal took another picture of Sky. Ssundee facepalmed the entire time.
Ssundee shook Sky violently and he snored again.
"Wait. I'm going about this wrong. Everyone start making squid noises," Ssundee suggested.
"What the hell do squids sound like?" Cal asked.
"Just watch and learn," Ssundee replied.
Everyone went silent. Sky jumped up to his feet and fell down again when Megan accelerated.
"Why would you guys do that?!" He yelled at us.
Cal looked confused, "So you wake up if it's silent? Wow. That's messed up, dude."
"Yeah, so?"
Cal pulled out his phone again and showed Sky the pictures. Sky turned red.
Just then, the girl groaned and rolled over, covering her eyes.
"Turn off... the... lamp. I'm... sleeping..." She said to some unknown person.
"Uh... What do we do?" Bajan asked.
"I dunno. Maybe she'll say who she's talking to," I suggested.
She started talking again, "Close them... Dorkface."
"Anyone here know anyone by the name of Dorkface?" I asked, joking.
She shot up with a scared look on her face. Her head turned towards us, "Wh-who are you?"
"Whoa! Relax, dood!" Bajan stepped forward to try and calm her down.
She crawled backwards towards the end of the bed, "N-no! Get away f-from me!"
"Man. She is scared out of her mind. What we gonna do?" Bajan asked me.
"I dunno. Maybe we should introduce ourselves," I hushed my voice, "with your fake names."
"Well, I'm Chris and this is Will, Cal, Sky, and Jerome," Bajan stated.
She paused a bit, "I-I'm Wintra."
"Nice to meet you," I held out my hand.
She took it and shook it, "Same here... Jerome was it?"
"Yep. It is."
-Meanwhile...-
Footsteps sounded in the empty theme park. Kate turned her head toward the sound. A person sprinted toward her.
"What do you want?" She asked.
The person huffed a bit then quit, "Have you seen anyone named Blaze?"
She thought a minute, "Is that a girl?"
"Yeah. What else would she be?"
"Either way, some people left here a while ago with someone who was unconscious."
"Where'd they go?" He asked quickly.
"West, toward the Tunnel. They were in a car, so you might find them in LA eventually."
"Thank you. Thanks a lot!" He yelled back, sprinting back off.
He sprinted out of the gates and sped out of the city.
Short, but hey. It's a chapter. I'm looking forward to writing the next two chapters. It might only be one chapter because of the first one's length, but I think it'll go well either way. Sooo... Have a suggestion? Comment or PM me! Want to review? I don't think I need to tell you what to do because I don't think you guys are idiots!
So long... and thanks for all the fish. (I still haven't seen that movie.)
