Hey hey! I know I didn't get all the reviews, but at least I got some and that still makes me happy! Please do me a favor and read the note at the bottom!
I DO NOT OWN GAKUEN ALICE!
Natsume, being oblivious, continued to walk towards the police cars. I yanked his arm back and dragged him along as we all started sprinting for an alleyway. When we decided we were a safe distance away, we relaxed(well, as much as street kids who constantly risk their life in fights can relax.)
"Ok guys, I'm going to go back and see what's up. If I'm not back in…say, fifteen minutes, then just head over to the next town without me. Don't text me to see in I'm ok, I'll text you if I need to know, like, where you guys are. Try to find a place where we can stay if you have to go without me. Got it?" Tono asked, taking on his role as the leader. We all nodded as he escaped into the shadows on the numerous buildings around.
We all sat in silence while Tono was gone; we were pretty freaked, even though none of us would admit it. We sat in a circle with are backs in the middle so no one could sneak up on us. Trust me, there are a lot of people in alleyways at night, and they not all that friendly.
"I see someone…" Hotaru whispered so quietly I had to strain to hear it. We tensed and reached for our weapons on instinct.
"Relax, it's just me." Tono said, coming to sit beside us. We did as he said. "Some nosey assholes said there was suspicious activity in the hideout. They set up cameras and caught us, so we need to leave town. We'll just take the stuff we raided and scram."
We got up and started walking through the shadows, watching for anything suspicious, almost automatically. We were all in a daze. Suddenly, something hit me. "Hyuuga, go home."
"No." He kept walking along with the group. Everyone stopped and looked at me expectantly. Tsubasa mouthed get rid of him to me.
"Look, go home. You're only going to cause us more trouble and we can't afford any more. So just leave!" I said, but my voice kept getting louder and louder. Hotaru hit me and gave me a stern look(with her usual blank expression) that said keep it down.
"No. I'm staying. You don't know who I am and what I have to deal with at home. I'm staying."
"Ha! You? A tough life? Humor me! Hmm…being rich and getting everything you want sounds like such a hard life. I'd much rather be dumped by my own mother to die! You don't know us either! Just get out of our lives because you are nothing like us!" I glared at him with as much hatred I could muster. We stood there for a few seconds or a few minutes, I have no idea, just glaring at us. I could feel the air thickening with awkwardness as the others stood around me and Natsume.
"If you make me go back, I will tell the guards and police everything about you guys. As far as I can see, you don't have a choice. Let me stay and help, or go to jail. Your choice." I considered letting him go. Maybe we could fake him out, go to a different town instead so the police have a false lead. Natsume might even get in trouble for "lying" and saying we went to some town we aren't even at. That would be a plus. But on the other hand, we might not escape in time. We might not even have time to make it to the next town, considering the police were right down the street.
I realized everyone was silently waiting my decision on whether Natsume could stay or not.
"…fine. But if you cause any problems, you're out. Got it?"
"Whatever. But trust me, I won't screw up."
As we scuttled through the streets in search of a car, I couldn't help but notice everyone kept glancing at me and/or Natsume(actually, they were making it very obvious. Bakas…)
We came across a dark green van that Hotaru quickly hot wired the car and we all climbed in. The drive was completely silent and completely awkward. I stared out the window, but I could feel eyes boring into the back on my head. I tried to block out my sixth sense, but no such luck. We drove deep into the woods and walked to town from there. All in all, it was about a three mile walk. Again, extreme silence and extreme awkwardness. The walk felt like it dragged on for hours on end. When we reached the edge of town we stopped and took a quick survey of the area.
"Hey,Natsume, you got a cell?" Misaki asked.
"Yeah. Why?" Natsume answered.
"Number." Hotaru said quietly.
"Why?" Natsume said sternly. He clearly didn't want to give it away without a reason.
"We're splitting up to find a place to stay. So give us your number so we can stay in contact. Don't call; Text us." Misaki answered. Natsume simply nodded. He whipped out his cell, which was an elaborate touch screen and keyboard combo. In other words, it was expensive. He gave us his number and we all gave him ours.
"Mikan, since you're the fastest runner, you go to the far east side of town. Natsume, you handle the rest of the east side, since you aren't in the best position to go very far. Oh, by the way, this is the east side, in case you didn't know." Tono was only saying that because of Natsume, who most likely did not know what direction was which. "Hotaru, you get the back center and Misaki get the front center. I'll get the back west and Tsubasa the front. Go." Everyone split up and headed to their designated search area. I couldn't find any spots where we could stake out because this section of town was full of brightly lit homes, all of them populated. I texted no good to everyone and started heading back to the meet up spot we decided on(where we were before we split up.)
On the way back Natsume texted me. Met up with another group. They say we can stay w/ them. Meet me at 2947 Troward Ct. Oh my God, he's such an idiot! I quickly texted him back. Baka! Get out now. It's a trap. Coming to get you. I started running to where he was.
When I got there, Natsume was waiting right outside the house. I signaled him over with a quick motion of my hand, but he stayed put at where he was. I sighed and sulked over to him. He had a weird look in his eye, but I ignored it. "Come on, Hyuuga, let's move." I said, but he still stayed put.
Silently, he mouthed run, but not before a bullet whizzed past me. I twirled and slammed myself against the wall. A figured came out of the shadows of the run down buildings.
"This is it? I thought you said there were more coming." The girl talking clucked her tounge. Fro what I could see, she had blonde hair and blue eyes like ice. He hair had slight curls and her body had extreme curves. If it weren't for her clothes, I wouldn't have guessed she lived on the street. "You know, your acting skills are yet to be desired. Well, if your other friends come, I'll have no choice but to shoot them, since you couldn't manage the simple task of getting them all I one place." The girl was talking in a sickeningly sweet voice. I was tempted to turn to look at Natsume to see how he was reacting, but I couldn't let my guard down.
The girl pulled out Natsume's cell phone from her pocket. "You know, you people are so easy to fool. No matter how 'experienced' you look, you're all the same. Stupid!"
"What do you want?" I asked, showing no emotion. Never give your fear away to the enemy.
"I want you out of my town." She said with a dark look. "Either that or dead. It doesn't really matter to me." Suddenly she raised her gun to us. "Actually, you know what? I don't feel like being nice. Life is wasted on fools like you anyway."
BANG! A shot fired and I ducked, but it wasn't coming from the girl. Tsubasa came running down the street, gun held steady in his hand and firing occasionally so he would scare her, but save his ammo. She turned and fired at Tsubasa who skillfully dodged the bullet.
The girl was suddenly pushed to the ground. "Luna, stop it. At least give them a chance in this town. The chase makes it all worth while…" I took a good long glance at the woman and had an epiphany. Mom?
Ok! There's chapter 5! Thank you for reading! I have been thinking, and I realize being asked to review is annoying, I know. I'm really sorry about that. It's just I don't know how to get people to review! I mean, I want to know my story is being read so I can continue it. If I don't have any readers, why bother writing it and posting it on here?
So, please please PLEASE, review once in a while. I'm not going to set a number of how many reviews I need, but I want to get a few just letting me know this is worth writing. Sory again for being all annoying and stuff.
Thanks for reading! Luv ya! :)
