Chapter Eight – Sibling Support
Duke barreled down the road to the only place he knew Kriss to go. The alley.
As Duke was about to turn the corner he spotted her. She was walking down the road with Thorn at her heels. She was walking right past her alley. Duke pulled up to her and drove slowly alongside her.
"What the hell are you doing? Why didn't you just stay at my place!" Duke yelled at her.
"I take it you didn't figure out my clue," She smiled.
"No, I did. You accidentally left two clues," Duke told her.
"How, I only left my shattered clue didn't I?" Kriss asked.
"No, you left the phone off the hook," Duke explained.
"No I didn't, I put it back and we left," Kriss said, looking down at Thorn, "Unless…. Goddammit Thorn! We were supposed to have more time!" Kriss glared at her traveling buddy.
"He knocked it off?" Duke asked.
"Yeah," Kriss said, stopping.
Duke stopped too. He got out of his car and walked over to her, "What's this really about?" He asked.
"She called," Kriss said, "That crazy bitch called. I answered, I didn't know it was her, you need caller ID or something, and she knew it was me instantly and I was afraid she was gonna come after me. I got scared Duke! I got fucking scared!" Kriss yelled, eyes watering.
"Hey, it's okay, everyone gets scared once in awhile," Duke said comforting her.
"Not me, I've never been so scared in my life! Never in my life did I think I'd have to be scared of her, but I couldn't stay there! I was trapped like a rat!" Kriss pointed out.
"C'mon, I don't think she came, everything was still there and she probably would've thrown the note out," Duke said.
"Are you sure?" Kriss said, looking up at the brother she'd never known.
"Positive," Duke said reassuringly.
"But, then if she hadn't come already, doesn't that mean she will eventually?" Kriss asked, "And she'll be mad at you too!"
"She's never been mad at me," Duke told her.
"Lucky, that bitch hates me!" Kriss pouted.
After Kriss had calmed down, Duke managed to convince her to come back with him. He promised protection but Kriss still didn't believe it completely, as far as she knew, this was all some plot to ship her back off to her mom's. But she couldn't help but trust him.
They drove back, Kriss had her eyes closed and was in deep though the whole way. Duke didn't bother her. For he had things to ponder as well. What if he was wrong and their mom did show up? What would happen? Whatever did happen he wouldn't let his mom take Kriss. Sounded to him as though she'd been through enough.
As they made their way into the building, Kriss noticed that Thorn was acting weird. He seemed very wary and on the look for something.
"What is it?" Kriss asked.
Thorn growled. He then eased his tone.
"Well?" Duke asked.
Kriss narrowed her eyes. Duke suddenly got the idea that she could understand that wolf. Something seemed different about her. She seemed more confident, or maybe it was anger, (YES! You win, I'm trying to make it longer!)
When she did speak; she spoke one word. And she said it in a tone that sent shivers up Duke's back.
"Intruder."
O.o Spookith! That was fun. If you can't tell, I have way to much fun in the boldededededededededededed part and I like to make up words and I like writing short chapters!
