Don't Take It All Away--Chapter 23--
**At Horizon, midnight**
Cole was dressed in all black. The phone had cut off but he knew-or thought- that she wanted her to meet him somewhere. Hopefully he'd see her. From the picture he saw, Colt's white-blonde hair was unmissable [is that a word?!].
He sneaked out, carefully shutting the door and bolting for the woods. He kept running until he had made it out of the woods and safely onto the highway.
**With Colt and Kristin**
Colt was crying and dragging his feet as they moved on. "WE've been walking for days! Can't we just stop?" He whined. "NO! It's only been two hours, so shut UP! We'll stop in a minute!" She barked. "But I wanna stop NOW!" he protested, stomping his foot.
As he did it, rain started pouring on them. "Great, just great! Now look!" Kristin yelled. The rain was so heavy that she and Colt were already soaked and it was hard to see Colt through the sheets of rain. "I'm cold! It's Feruary! I don't even have a jacket!" He yelled. "It's February, you stupid egghead! And here," she snapped, taking off her soaked light jacket and covering him up with it.
He was still shivering. SHe sighed. "COme here," she muttered and picked him up. "Go to sleep but I can't carry you for a long time," She warned. He nodded and dozed up in her arms.
It was hard to see the streets through the rain. She was so frusterated at one point she sat down on a log and started crying as she gripped Colt. She hated her dad for everything he'd ever done; but, most of all, she hated herself for ever trusting him again. She knew how untrustworthy he was, but she had to go and love him. Idiot.
**With Cole**
As night turned to dawn and dawn turned to bitter cold day, Cole walked and ran , hoping to spotting a little girl with an even younger kid. Suddenly a cop that he hadn't seen pulled up to him with peter beside him. "Cole!" Peter exclaimed and jumped out.
Cole took one look at him and started running, then tripped. As he stumbled his way through the grassy sides of the roads Peter eventually caught up with him. "What are you doing?! Are you CRAZY?" Peter yelled.
"It's Kristin!" Cole said breathlessy. "What-what about Kristin?" Peter demanded. "Her dad..." Cole started but Peter interupted. "That son-" he started but then he got calm. "Cole get in the car and he will take you back to Horizon," Peter said, "and me and Sophie will look for Kristin."
For the first time Cole noticed Sophie sitting in a car, looking worried as Peter and Cole talked. "I want to come with you!" Cole said stubbornly. "NO. You're lucky I don't put you on shuns until you are to old to do them. Now GO." Peter said firmly.
"Fine." Cole mumbled.
