Bringer of Futures
Chapter 13: Isn't it obvious?
OK people! This is the 3RD! time I've writen this. I REALLY hope it works because if it doens't
I give up! The first time I got it all written and it was LONG and then It was lost after
I tried to upload it onto ff.net. The second time I tried to save it to a disk and it didn't
work and the document cleared. So I REALLY hope it works this time. This chapter is going
to be short because i am not going to write all of it in this chapter just to loose it again.

"Don't struggle!" The social worker yelled. "Were doing this to keep you safe. Its for you."
"Oh, right. Just like my parents did everything they did for me?" Staci snarrled, wiggling
out of the cuffs that were attached to her wrists.
"We are. We're not like your parents. We can help you." Alice, the social worker, said.
"Do you understand, Staci?" Staci snickered and pulled her left hand out from behind
her back and punched Alice in the head. Alice fell over and Staci took off.
"Get her Roger!!" Alice yelled and the African American counselor in charge of
pickups ran after Staci.
He soon caught up to her and tackled her to the ground.
"Get off of me!!" Staci screamed. Roger grabbed her feet and shackled them together.
"Get in the van" He said after he had drug her to Horizons van. She complied and
sulked down in the seat as Roger took off, waving to Alice.
*****
"Were getting another one Peter." Sophie said, walking inside Peters office.
"I know. Her names Katie or something like that." Peter said. "There is hardly enough
room for her though... Were going to have to expand or something. There is no other way."
"We'd have to get the money from Chloe" Sophie said
"Yeah.. I know. And even if it means me going up there I will." Peter said. Sophie was
suprised at the comment but didn't say anything about it.
*****
"I hate you"
"No you dont Kate." Joe said
"Yes I do!" The 14 year old girl named Katie said.
"Now Kate...." Joe said in a warning tone. "You dont mean that."
"Yes.... I... do!!!" She said slowly to make sure he heard her. However, she instantly
regretted it as Joes hand swooped down and smacked her in the face. He took one last
blow to the back and then did what he always did.....
*****
"The new admits here, Peter!" Sophie yelled into his office.
"Uh, okay!" Peter said and walked ouside to greet Staci.
"Hi you must be Staci." Peter said sticking his hand out. She only glared at him. This
was normal for newbies. They often feel alienated, left out or resentful toward their
parents. "I'll take that as a yes" Peter said as he motioned toward the admit room.
Once inside Peter pointed to the metal chair in front of the desk. He then walked over
to the desk and sat her stuff down.
"Sit." He said politely. When she didint he get more demanding. "SIT!" he demanded.
WHen she didn't a second time he walked over to her. "SIT!!" He demanded a third time.
Staci glared at him coldly.
"Sit on this you bastard!" She said and spit in his face. Peter wiped it away but she
did it again. Peter grabbed her arm and PUT her in the chair.
"Good," He said. "Now that we've established that our saliva stays in our mouth lets
get down to buisness....."
*****
"Shelby!! Stop!" Juliette whined.
"Oh.. can queenie not take it?" Shelby said trying to keep a straight face but failing.
She burst out lauging.
"Shelby! How can I make a play on Horizon life uncencerd" Ezra said flashing his hands
when he said unsenserd "When you guys keep not taking it seriously. I want to have a good
play for once."
"Even if we did laugh, this play wouldn't be nearly as bad as Bobby Joe and Gillian" Shelby said
Completely forgetting about the fact that Bobby joe and Gillian hasn't been mentioned yet to
anybody. Ezra blushed.
"Hey.. how did you know about that?" He asked. Shelby thought while Scott looked up from the book
he was reading in wait for her answer.
"I read it in your diary, freakin" She said using his nick name. Ezra blushed and Scott laughed.
"Ezra has a diary!!" Scott teased. Just then Shelby remembered something and got up and ran out
the door.
"Ill be back guys" She said and took off across the lodge. Ezra stood up in protest.
"What am I supposed to do without my.." Ezra yelled but Shelby was already gone "Star player.."
he whispered.
*****
1 week later
*****
"WELL I THINK WE SHOULD DO THIS" Isaac yelled over the chaos of the class room. Everyone
looked at him in disbelief. Staci looked around and finally spoke up.
"It speaks! The freak can actually speak" She said. Isaac frowned and sat down in defeat.
Cole, however, got extremely mad at Staci.
"Just who do you think you are!? Huh!? Yelling at my brother that way. He did nothing to you.
So you just need to shut your humongus skull cave and do nothing! Cause you are nothing" Staci
just laughed after Cole said that.
"Yeah.. and who's gonna make me?" She asked, menacingly motioning around to the teacherless
room.
"I will" Shelby said stepping in and jumping on Staci. They fought a Jerry Springer like fight
until Sophie walked in. She looked in dissapointment at the two teens and got Scott and Auggie
to pull Staci and Shelby off of each other.
"Shuns, Lodge, me NOW!" Sophie said. Both Staci and Shelby knew exactly what was happening. They
were going to spend a fun filled night on shuns in the lodge with Sophie starting now. They
packed their stuff up and walked out to get their blankets and get ready for the night.
*****
"IM GOING WHERE!" Katie yelled at her mother, Cheryl.
"Its a school up in the mountains. Its called Mount Horizon. We think it will do you some good.
"What the hell do you know!!" Katie screamed.
"Dont talk to your mother like that or you'll have me to deal with." Roger, her dad said. Katie
stepped off, scared. She never liked her father.
"FINE! I'll go just to get away. I hate it here" She said and swung around into her room.
Once in there, she grabbed her pillow and blankets and shoved them into her back pack. She then
picked her picture of her friends up. She carfully placed the picture in a safe spot after
staring at it for a while.
After a while, everything was securely packed. This included her razor, some alcohol and a bag
of pot that she had had for a while. Then she stuffed some of her stash in her shoe sole, glued
it back down and walked out the door.
*****
Staci sat for a while just glaring at Shelby. When she finally got tired of that she gazed over
the lodge. Her eyes came across a few Cliffhangers, Ridge Runners, and Sundogs. They were all
together getting a lecture from Peter. Evidentaly a kid named Jason and a girl named Kristin had
gotten in a fight.
"It was all McGarmies fault!!" She heard the girl, Kristin, say. Peter just shook his head and
dismissed the Cliffhangers. Isaac stood alone for a while until Staci and his eyes locked.
They stayed mezmerised with each other for a while until Staci turend her head. Isaac frowed and
took off toward one of the girls in the Ridge Runners group, just getting dismised by Peter.
She had called him over for some reason.
Staci turned back to her work and realised that something was wrong with that stare. It was as
if.... no.. she couldn't... like... ISAAC!
She was going to have to do something about it if so. And there was only one thing to do. She was
going to ask him out. S
Staci got up and walked over to where Isaac and the girl, Marissa were standing. She gaped in
horror and disbelief as Marissa kissed Isaac. All Staci could make out was Marissa saying some-
thing after she kissed him. Isaac shook his head in amazement and that was all.
Isaac walked off mumbling "she asked me out she asked me out.." over and over again. Staci was
amazed. Wasn't Marissa Jason McGarmies girlfriend?... That was going to be a mystery only one
person could help Staci solve. Kristin Maddox.
*****
Katie got out of the car in a hurry. She had gotten a ride up to Horizon with her worst enemy..
Joe. Joe stepped out after her with a sick smile of pleasure plastered onto his face and walked
up to shake Peters hand.
After all the disscussion and exchanging of papers were done, Peter took Staci off to the side.
"Do you want to say goodbye to Mr. Curtis?" He asked. Katie glared at him in a pleading way.
"NO!" She said and sat down on a log, refusing to take one last look at him.
"Ok then.." Peter said dissmissing Joe and taking a mental note of the action. "Lets get you
settled in. Your stuff has already been checked and you've gotten the talk by Frank the day you
left your house so lets get your stuff to your dorms. Your going to be a Ridge Runner." Peter
said.
"Ridge Runner Ridge Runner" Katie murmered over and over again. "By any chance is there a girl
named Edona in that group?" Katie asked remembering her worst prep enemy had been sent to a
school and gotten put into a group with the name Ridge Runners. Peter nodded. "I know her and
hate her. Any change I could get moved to another group?" She asked. Peter thought about it for
a moment and nodded.
"Sure. Why not" He said leading Katie to the Cliffhanger's girls' dorm.
After getting all her stuff packed a girl named Juliette came and brought Katie to the lodge
where the rest of the group was waiting. The door opened and Katie saw someone she never thought
she would see again.
"KATIE!!" Staci screamed.
"STACI!!!" Katie yelled just as loud.
"You two know each other?" Sophie asked looking back and forth between the two girls.
*****
Later that night in the boys' dorm Isaac and Cole are alone
*****
"You what!?" Cole yelled in disbelief.
"I got a girlfriend. Her name is Marissa!!" Isaac said. Cole lowered his head.
"ok.." He said trailing off.
"You could at least feel happy for me" Isaac said glaring at Cole.
"I- I do." He said.
"Yeah right" Isaac scoffed.
"Shut up! You dont know anything you little orphan!" Cole yelled. Isaac looked at his brother
in awe.
"ORPHAN! Im your brother you freakin criminal car jacker!" Isaac yelled.
Cole winced as he heard this.
*Flashback*
"Ha! LOOSER!" Cole yelled taking off in the car down the road, looking back at its owner. He
came around a curb and...
"AHHHHHHHHH" A little girl screached. Cole stared in shock as he saw the little girl on her bike
laying on the ground bleeding. He had just hit her going 40 miles an hour. It was a wonder
she was still breathing and breating barely at that. He measured his options.
'Help: get caught. Dont help: Dont get caught' He thought.... in a burst of bravery he picked the
girl up carefully and put her in the back of the car. He drove down to the local hospital and gave
her to an EMT and got back into the car and left.
*End Flashback*
The girl was put into a comma and never woke out of it. Her parents decided after a year to take
her off life support... she died 2 years ago that day.. and it had been haunting Cole for the
past 3 years.. from the moment he layed her into the EMT's arm to that day.
"SHUT UP!" Cole screamed and attacked Isaac. They rustled on the floor until Isaac's concience
got the best of him
"STOP!" He screamed at Cole. "This isn't right." he said lowering his voice "were brothers.. lets
just make up" He said. Cole lowerd his head frowning when he brought it back up tears were in his
eyes as they both shook hands in a truce.
*****
THE NEXT DAY
*****
During group the next day the Cliffhangers stood in a circle groaning.
"Do we have to do this Peter?" Scott asked, looking at his partner. It was Auggie. "I already know
the dude." He finished.
"Yes, Scott you do" Peter said. The groups were to talk with their partner and get to know them.
The groups were Katie/Cole, Isaac/Staci, Scott/Auggie, Shelby/Juliette, Kat and Ezra. Peter
snapped his fingers and the groups got together to 'share'
"Ok.." Cole said. "Whats your favorite movie?" he asked, trying to get along with the newbie.
"Go fuck a toilet" Katie said glaring at him. Cole rolled his eyes.
"I dont have to take this from some stupid newbie!" He yelled. "This isn't fair to me!"
"Does it look like I care whats fair to you? Because if it does then tell me and I will wipe
my facial expression off and put one up that LOOKS like I dont care" Katie said.
"Whatever, skank" Cole said and walked away. Katie fumed and attacked Cole from behind.
