Distraught Chapter 2
"Sydney! Can we rest for a bit?" Abby pleaded. Her ears twitched.
Now let me explain, I haven't said much about our special little selves. Syd has a long cheetah tail and can run really fast. Plus, she's pretty flexible (Mind out of the gutters perverts). Syd has this ability to grow really sharp teeth. She has a mean bite.
David doesn't have any physical changes, but if you get him mad, don't let him touch you. He hurts.
Abby has these cute little black cat ears on the top of her head. They stick straight out of her long black hair. And if you look into her eyes, you can see that they are cat eyes. Abby has super good eyesight and she can see in the dark.
Jessica is like David. No physical changes, but her hearing is wicked sharp, and she can jump three times her body height.
I have a cute little fox tail. It's super soft, and the fur is blond with a little white fur at the end. I'm very good at stealing and lying. Plus I'm like a human lie detector. And when I'm in a fight, my claws come out, literally.
Syd's the oldest so she gets to be the leader. And me, I like to think that I'm second in camand because I deserve it, not because me and Syd are biological sisters.
Syd's 15, Me, David, Abby, and Jessica are all me and Syd, none of us are really related. We just grew up together in The School.
"Come on Syd please!" Abby begged, "I might just die from exhaustion."
"Good, then we won't have to deal with you anymore."
"David, Shut up!" Jessica snapped.
"Syd, let's just stop for a little bit, then we can keep going." I said to her softly. Syd sighed, "Okay, fine. But no more than five minutes!"
We all sat down and rested. I laid back and closed my eyes and relaxed. It felt nice to soak in the suns warmth. I heard Abby and David whispering to each other, and Abby giggled. I heard someone shifting and opened one eye. I saw Jessica sitting next to me. I sat up.
"I'm so glad we're out of there. I hated being locked up and treated like an animal." She said
"None of us do. But if we hadn't, none of us would know each other."
"Ya, but I just wish that it hadn't had been this way. I wish it would just be something like we all went to school together, and we were just normal."
"Jessica, normal is over rated." I smiled at her. I am secretly happy that I wasn't normal, partly because if it wasn't us, it would be some other poor kids. And partly because I feel like , if I was normal, I wouldn't fit in anywhere.
"Alright you guys, get your butts up and keep walking." Syd stood up and wiped the dirt off of her torn jeans. The rest of us quickly did the same. All of us were dirty, messy, and-
"Syd, can we get food when we get somewhere?"
Starving. "We don't even know if we're anywhere close to a town."
"Well why don't you go all cheetah and see if we are?" I asked in a monotone voice. Syd rolled her eyes at me. But she did what I said and took off running. She was fast.
"Now that she's gone, can we rest again?" David stared at Jessica.
"I swear Jessica, you just read my mind." Abby snorted and rolled her eyes. I sat down again. My stomach growled. How are we going to get food if we don't have any money. We need new clothes to. I look at the four of us. We were all wearing tattered clothes. T-shirts that are so ruined they can hardly count as clothes, jeans that have turned to shorts.
Mine were the worst. I fingered the worn down fabric. I gripped the side a little above my knee and yanked. I heard a loud, satisfying rip. I reached down and teared off the rest. I reached over to the other leg and did the same thing. When I was done, I threw the strips into a pile and laid down.
RIIPPPPP. As soon as I heard that I sat up and looked around. I heard multiple rips and relised that Abby and Jessica were doing the same thing I did. When they were done, they threw theirs on top of mine. I opened my mouth to say something when David shouted
"Look! There's Sydney!" He pointed at the small dot in the distance. In a matter of no time, that dot became Syd standing in front of us.
"There's a HUGE city just north of here. The time it will take for us to get there will be about an hour or less." Syd motioned for us to stand up and start walking. About and hour later we were standing in front of a sign that read , "Welcome to Las Vegas, Nevada!"
