A/N
I'm trying to update this story… just a little… Sorry that it's been so long.
Well, hope you enjoy! LET THE CHAPTER BEGIN!
Sophie turned around, feeling eyes on her but not knowing exactly who was staring at her.
"We need to get human clothes. We're going to attract attention," she muttered. Everyone nodded. Everyone who had been on the subway had gotten off and it was empty, yet Sophie still felt someone looking at her.
"I think somebody's staring at us," she told Fitz. Fitz nodded.
"I can feel it too. So who is it?" he asked. Sophie shrugged.
"I guess we'll tell in time," she replied, relieved that somebody else felt it.
"Hey, who is that?" asked Dex, pointing to someone in the near distance. There were two people, one about four-and-a-half feet tall and the other around five feet. The taller one was staring, but the dark shadows cast by their hoodie obscured who they were staring at. The shorter one tugged the taller one away from the elves' little group, motioning towards a food truck.
"I don't know. I've never seen them before," Sophie replied. "Should we go introduce ourselves?"
"Probably, considering that they're staring at us and we're staring at them," Keefe replied. Dex and Fitz nodded. Tam sulked and Linh tugged him with the rest of the group. Marella yawned but still managed to look excited.
"Let's go!"
- Line break -
I see the beautiful people (how embarrassing that I'm just calling them "beautiful people") advance toward me. I turn and walk fast to catch up to Nick, already a few feet ahead of me.
"What were you doing?" he asked. I shrugged.
"Strange people, you know," I replied and he nodded.
"Yeah. Are their clothes weird or what?" Nick giggled. I chuckled.
"Yeah. Really weird. All they'd need is a cape and BOOM, they're in a superhero movie!" I laughed, and Nick laughed with me. We piled our money together, amounting to about forty dollars.
"Let's get some pizza," Nick said, and I nodded. As soon as we got our pizza, we sat down on a bench to eat. I saw the beautiful people keeping their distance and wondered why they were trailing us.
Eventually we finished our pizza and walked around Detroit. It looked like they'd repurposed the alleyways, so we decided to just sit down and take a rest. I know, kinda stupid idea. But what else could we do? I'm pretty sure you need to be an adult to rent a hotel room. If not, sue me.
I closed my eyes for a brief second and sighed. Nick leaned on my shoulder. I opened my eyes again. '
"One of us should keep watch," I murmured. Nick nodded sleepily, even though he'd slept the whole way. "I'll take first watch."
- Line break -
Sophie and the group followed the two suspicious people. (They had been deemed suspicious, just because nobody had really stared at the group except for them.) The people had stopped in an alleyway. Sophie worked up the courage to approach them and saw that they were both sleeping. She could see by streetlight that the shorter one was a boy, probably around eleven or twelve years old. The taller one looked to be a girl by the faint curve of areas, but Sophie couldn't see her face.
Suddenly the girl jerked awake.
"Who are you?" she whispered.
HAHA! Am I evil, or what? (Shut up, Keefe. Can't you see that I'm in the middle of something? Oh. Okay.)
Keefe wants to give you guys mallowmelt. I don't know why – oh. It's because Fitz baked you ripplepuffs.
(Next time, Fitz.)
Well, I hope that everyone has a great weekend!
