Chappie 7: The Runaways
"R-r-r-reverend Lovejoy?"
"Mrs Simpson called to tell me about this little situation your in."
'Typical, always with the reverend.'"So what you gonna do about it?" She asked like she didn't give a damn.
"Well first you're going to tell me why you've been so upset recently," he said, crouching down to be level with her.
"You think I'm upset? I thought you observation skills were better than that." She replied still uncaringly. The reverend sighed. He wasn't getting very far. He stood up and thought for a while before continuing,
"Your family's worried about you, why don't you go home"
Lisa looked at him, disgusted. 'Go home? Where is home? I have no home.' The reverend stood there, waiting for a reply but he didn't get one so he took a step back to think.
"Revered, why do you try? All you do is help people. It won't get anywhere" Reverend Lovejoy was a bit taken back by this. Did she really lose all her sense of morality? He didn't know what to do.
Suddenly, Lisa took off and ran deeper in the woods until darkness engulfed her.
"Lisa--!" Timothy Lovejoy ran off after her, taking out his torch but couldn't find anything. It was too dark, even with the torch, and she could've gone in any direction. He would have to wait untill dawn.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lisa ran, picking up a fast pace as she went, she looked up. It was too dark to see anything. The moon was hidden among dark clouds and the trees were even taller and darker. 'It must be after midnight' She took a sharp turn and carried on, changing direction over and over so no one would find her. The setting wouldn't change so she thought maybe she was going in circles so she stopped, panting for breath.
She leaned against a tree and slid down so she lied against it. She was tired and her eyes drooped as she heard the wind whistling a lullaby. She closed her eyes and breathed in. Her hands gripped the grass tightly as she shivered in the cold.
Needing the sleep, she huddled closer to the tree and tried to warm herself using her arms and eventually drifted off.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Something gripped her hand. She murmured and twisted in her half-asleep state. The grip grew tighter and her eyes opened in confusion.
"W-w-what?" She waited for her eyes to focus on the blurry object in front of her. Had the reverend found her again? She wondered as her eyes focused properly on the target.
It was a young girl, about her age. She had long ginger hair and eyes that stared. She was wearing a long dark green dress that covered most of her body while matching shoes covered her feet.
"Who are you?" Lisa asked, finally unfazed. The girl didn't say anything, just shook her head. "What do you want?" Once again the girl shook her head. Lisa was confused. What was going on? The girl pulled on her arm again and Lisa stood up as the girl continued to drag her somewhere.
A bird chirped, making Lisa look up. The sun wasn't high. It must only have been just after dawn, not a long sleep then. The girl pulled on her arm again and Lisa noticed she had stopped to look at the small bird in the tree. She followed the girl again until they finally stopped.
The girl pointed ahead and Lisa saw a small city. She was sure that Shelbyville was in the complete opposite direction so this couldn't be it… could it?
The girl dragged her around the houses and turned into a small alleyway. There she saw a small group of people, of all ages and sizes.
One of the teenage men walked towards them. He was fairly tall and had short dirty blond hair and wore a pair of jeans with a black shirt. He greeted them with a smile,
"Welcome back, and I see you've brought a friend" The girl smiled and nodded.
"Umm… not to be rude but who are you? And why did you bring me here?"
The man laughed and motioned to the rest of the group.
"We… are the runaways"
"The… runaways?" She questioned. 'What a strange name… and kind of… dull.'
"We've all left our lives behind and live together in our own little family"
"Ahh… I don't think I should stay" 'I can't live here. I know what they're asking but I can't. I need to know what Milhouse meant'
"I know how you feel… that's why we stick together" He was starting to sound strange to her. Lisa didn't know what to do. But then she realised she'd have to stay somewhere for the moment and she didn't want to freeze in the woods again.
"Maybe… just a little while" The man smiled. Such a gentle smile and went to tell everyone to meet the new 'member' of their little group.
After a while she settle in but her mind kept on wondering why she was doing this. She couldn't die… not yet. No she couldn't. She had to know what Milhouse meant. She couldn't bear not knowing. It was a thirst for knowledge and she couldn't push it back no matter what. She would have to stay there.

What will happen? I have literally no idea. I did have an idea for what to do but it kinda slipped and now I've forgotten everything. Ha! Where are the pixies when you need them?
Well review if you're kind enough to. :D
