{I will kill who ever decided not to read this story! Just Kidding!
However, I really am mad. Trunkies and I worked so hard to come up with
this story. I wish you would be a little kinder to the people who try to
please you with stories. That is the real reason that we write these
stories. So, could you all be a little nicer to us demented authors? THX.
Here is the next chapter, in which our new friends stories tell us who they
are, mostly.}
Marissa wasn't as sure as Krista was about these new strangers. As they drove to some hotel, Marissa and Krista whispered to themselves about the smartness of this decision. "Are you positive we can trust them? I mean for all we know they could be after the kids."
"Rissa, please calm down. I mean they already helped us in one way; they gave us a place to stay for the night. How many people can say that they've been willing to help us? Not many. Now we have a total of three. That's two more than all others combined; and your mother didn't really help us-"
"You shut up about my mother! She was the closest thing you had to a family that didn't try to kill you!" Marissa harshly whispered. "And we all know what your other family did to you." She stopped talking as the convertible pulled into the driveway of a massive building made in the late forties it seemed to Rissa. The youngest of the three got out of the drivers side and assisted Marissa in unbuckling the three children, as the truck that held the other couple pulled up next to the car. They got out and led them into the lobby of the structure. It was then that Alec decided to speak to the people.
"What are we doing here? I wan to go back to my home with Rissa's mommy! She was the only mommy in the entire world that would go play in the rain with us!" 'Oh god,' Rissa thought. 'I thought he had forgotten Mommy.'
"Sweetheart, we're just going to stay here tonight. Then we will be looking for our special home. Remember? The place in the meadow with all the flowers and no monsters?"
"Yes! I remember, but I want to go there now! Why can't we go now?"
"Because, we need to get enough money. We can't afford it now."
"But why did you get mad at me for getting us money?"
"It's wrong to steal."
"Umm.can I just say something?" The young man inputted.
"Not without telling us who you are first." Krista stated defiantly.
"I'm Conner." He said with a touch of resentment in his voice. "And this is Fred and Gunn."
"Okay, now you can say something."
"Who are you?"
"Is that all? Because I thought you would be all dark and broody and mysterious with the whole taking us to a secret hotel and not even telling us why. And the hotel part sounded really wrong to say in front of the Littles." Krista giggled contently as the new people looked at her as if she was insane.
""What I think Krista means is that you've got that whole creature-of- the-night, dark angel, I-am-completely-into-myself-and-I-need-to-right-my- wrongs kind of look to you."
"No that's his father. Although I really think he's trying to take up the slack lately," said Gunn.
"Funny. My name's Marissa Salinciota and the two older Littles are my brother and sister. That's Krista. You don't need to know her too well."
"Hey!" Krista bellowed, as she gave Marissa a look that screamed, 'wait until later, bitch!'
"Shut up. The sweetie here is Kyle. He's one year old and they all are the cutest kids ever. With the exception of Krista here. He is Krista's little brother. I know there isn't any family resemblance, but believe me, he's one of us."
Fred spoke next. "How did you all get here?"
"Umm.we were just in the neighborhood? Running from an evil guy with a knife? Does that work?"
"Who was the guy?"
"Umm.do you want me to answer or tell you the truth?"
"You don't even know who you were running from?!" Gunn exclaimed.
"I didn't know that he would attack us-" Alec's sentence was shortened by the humungous yawn that showed the gang that they needed to get the kids to bed.
"'Rissa, come on. We need to get these kids to bed. They are going to die without sleep," Krista instinctively answered.
"That's impossible. You can't die from lack of sleep." Conner muttered.
"I heard that."
Gunn stopped Conner from retaliating by saying, "Come on Conner. Let's go get some rooms for them." He and Conner began to walk up the winding staircase to the left of the entrance.
"WE can't sleep alone. WE all have to stay in the same room." Alec firmly bellowed. "WE need to protect Krista from the head-hurters! WE need to keep 'Rissa out of the rain! WE-"
"Alec, baby, I think they understand. Why don't we follow them up- stairs? They'll give us some nice beds to sleep in and we can have nice dreams. But not the dreams you keep having. Okay Alecy? Please?" Krista put her hands around his small body and hugged him like a mother would. Marissa blushed at how Kyle screamed for a hug too. Krista took him from Rissa's arms and headed up the stairs after Conner and Gunn. Marissa followed with Alec and the speechless Mackenzie's hands inter twined with her own.
Fred stood alone in the lobby, nit daring to breath until the newbies were out of sight. When they were, she sighed, "What have we done this time?"
*******************************************
The next day, The Fang Gang groaned as the events from yesterday bounced in front of their faces. Literally. Mackenzie came screaming into Conner's room and jumped on his bed without seeing who it was. Conner jumped and grabbed her by the arm. He yanked her into the hall and shouted, "Who is in charge of the little girl?!"
Marissa came running out her room and picked the crying Mackenzie off the floor. Hurriedly, she apologized for her. "I am really sorry for that! It will never happen again. I-I have to go get her breakfast." Before Conner could say anything, Marissa ran down the hall into Krista's room.
"Oh my god! I can't believe what Mackenzie just did!" Marissa gasped out as Krista stared at her curiously, as she got out of bed.
"What did she do that got you so hyped up?" Krista stepped over to the closet, which held her backpack of stuff.
"You know the thing she does when she sleeps alone where, in the morning, she comes screaming into our room to tell us that she's awake? Well, she got the rooms mixed up and ran into Conner, I think his name is, well his room and woke him up with her special screaming. It was so embarrassing. I don't think he is a people person." Krista childishly giggled and put her hand on Marissa's shoulder.
"You didn't know that he's not a people person? Did you see the way that he was glaring at that Gunn guy when he mentioned his father? I mean what is up with that?"
"Rista, you notice way too much about people. Don't you know that that is my job? To just sit and watch people walk by is my idea of fun."
"Well you can do that tonight."
"Huh?"
"Fred invited us to go to some karaoke bar. She said that there is also a playpen in the back for the Littles."
"But why are we going?"
"They said it's because their friend is back and that they need info or something. Want to come?"
"Sure. I am going to go find out how we get food for the youts here."
"'Youts'?"
"You've never seen that movie? Shame on you. I saw it with my mom."
"You constantly talk about your mom. Why? I mean didn't she try to-"
"Shhh! I think I hear someone outside the door. I'll talk to you later." Marissa left to go feed the kids, while Krista finished getting dressed.
