Mrs. Kawa's Car

"We need to pick someone else up," Mrs. Kawa said.

"Sienna?" Dustin asked.

"Yah," Mrs. Kawa said.

"Who's that? Why do we need to pick her up?" I wondered.

"You see, the diclonius people, who were going after you, don't just go after diclonius' and silpelits. There's more than just that birth defect. They capture and kill people with any birth defects that could be harmful to people or the society. If they started going after you today, then they will probably go after her today too."

"What other kinds of birth defects are there? What is she?" I asked curiously.

"Well, I don't want it to scare you, so maybe you should wait and see," she said. I looked behind our car speeding down the road, and there was a black Volvo.

"They're trying to catch us," I said.

"I know, just try to keep your head down until we get far away enough from them, they might try to shoot at us," Mrs. Kawa said.

"Why don't the boys just kill them? That'd be easy! We could get them off our trail and that'd be that!" I said.

"They'll just keep coming and coming," Roy said. "And, they could send out 'other creatures' after us. They could kill us instantly."

"Like Sienna?" I wondered.

"No, Sienna is one of the more 'nice' ones is you don't get to close to her. She's nice and gentle anyway, even though it's her nature, just like ours, to kill," Dustin said.

"What is she?"

"Just wait and see," Roy said, "It's a surprise."

"Why did you kiss me yesterday?" I asked Roy, remember all of my shock.

"Because I like you," he laughed.

"I haven't heard those words in such a long time," I said, "The only person who has ever really liked me is Dustin."

"I like you," Mrs. Kawa said. "You're nice and gentle, unlike Roy." All three of us kids were sitting in the middle of the car, which I thought was a blue van, but I couldn't really tell because we jumped into it so fast. The seats where brown and gray and sort of fuzzy.

I looked at Roy and Dustin, them side by side. "Yall have the same hair, except different colors," I said. Roy's was brown and Dustin's was black. There bangs were in their eyes, looking all emo. And, I just realized Roy was wearing the same thing as Dustin, just in gray not black. A plain T-shirt, and jeans. Both had on black converse high-tops.

"Are yall related?" They definitely looked like brothers. And, they were both thirteen, so they could be twins.

"We're not twins," they both said at the same time.

"We're brothers. Our mom had us one after the other, Dustin dyed his hair," Roy said.

"Are you serious? Yall are brothers?! That's awesome!" I said. I was so surprised I couldn't believe Dustin's brother was the biggest serial killer in the US.

"Yah," Dustin said, "Unfortunately. He's such an idiot, killing everyone, I'm ashamed to say that he is my brother."

"We're here!" Mrs. Kawa said. I didn't even notice that we had gone so far in such little time, speeding down the streets.

We were at a little simple house, made of brick. "I'll go get her," Roy said. I looked around everywhere from inside the car. Nobody seemed to be following us anymore.

Roy got of the car and walked up the concrete path up to the wooden front door. He knocked and waited a minute, but no one answered. This seemed to concern everyone. Then he rung the door bell continuously. I guess he wanted to annoy the people inside the house, if there were any, until they'd finally answer the door. Sure enough, about thirty seconds later someone answered the door.

"What the hell do you want?" Roy looked behind her, into the house, and saw I don't know what. He barged in the house, as the lady tried to get him out. He stepped out with a girl, who appeared to me sleeping, in his arms. She didn't have any horns, though. He also had a bag with clothes and things in it.

"I'm taking her with me," he said.

"Like hell, you are," replied to woman.

"She's in extreme danger," he said.

"How is that?"

"Because of this," he said. He did something to her mouth with his finger.

She gasped and then said, "I don't want her anymore. Take her. I don't care." And so he walked to the car. Whatever it was her mom must have not have ever realized.

"This is Sienna," he said as he lay her down into the back seat. She had a lot of cuts and bruises all over her body. Apparently, she was unconscious. She had medium length brown hair and green brown eyes. She appeared to be my age. She was wearing a striped red and black shirt with blue jeans. Roy put her things in the trunk of our light blue faded van

"What's wrong with her?" I asked.

"Her mom abuses her," Dustin said, "She always has. But Sienna never told because her brothers need their mom. They're very young. Her mom doesn't hit them, she just takes it all out on her." I was speechless. How could someone ever be so loving? I don't think I could do that.

"That's awful," was all I could manage to say.

"Isn't it though?" Mrs. Kawa said as she starting driving at a normal speed down the road.

"What is she?" I was still curious.

"I can assure you, she won't hurt any of us," Roy said, making sure I wouldn't be scared. "She's a…."

"Vampire," Dustin said.

"Oh, is that all? That's not scary, well sort of, but not really," I said. They didn't need to make such a big deal out of it. "You could have just told me, you know."

"We didn't know how you would handle it, sorry," Roy smiled.

"Hey, I think she's waking up," Dustin said.

"Uh…. Where am I?" She said.

"You're in my car, and Roy's here, and Rika," Mrs. Kawa said.

"Oh…" she said as she sat up, "Why?"

"There were these people going after us and we knew they'd go after you too so we picked you up," Roy said. "No need to thank us."

"Did you kill my mom?"

"No," Roy said, "I showed her your teeth and she said take her."

"Oh," she said back.

"Um…" I decided if I should ask or not, "Can I see your teeth?"

"Yah," she said as she smiled, showing me her K-9 teeth that were larger than natural. "I only drink blood of animals."

"Oh…" I said, "That's good." I guess. But I wondered where she got the animals from. I didn't want to ask, because I knew that'd probably be awkward somehow.

"Where are we going to go?" Sienna asked.

"I don't know, out of town somewhere. We'll rent a hotel and leave early in the morning because they will probably be tracking us and see that we stayed at that hotel. We need some cash so they can't track where I've used my credit card."

"Why don't we just kill them?" Sienna asked, wondering the same thing I wondered.

"They have things and people that can kill us," Dustin said.

"Oh no, Roy could kill them all," she said.

"I'm sorry to say, no, I couldn't," he admitted, "They have new things that could kill anything."

"Should I be scared?" I asked.

"I'll protect you," Dustin said, "I'll never leave you alone, never."

"Awww…. How sweet!" Sienna said. I looked at her. "Oh sorry, I'm Sienna, I'm thirteen, and I'm a vampire," she smiled.

"Oh, I'm Rika, I'm thirteen too, and I'm a diclonius."

"Oh… that must be fun," she admired.

"I wouldn't say that," I said.

"But you get to kill people with out even lifting a finger," she added, "That people can see."

"Nah, I don't kill people."

"Oh," she said, "I feel the same way about killing people. I mean, we're people too, we just aren't normal people."

"Hey, don't people become vampires from being bitten by other vampires?" I asked.

"Yah," she said, "But their children are born vampires. I was born this way. My real parents were killed when I was a child by the same people who are after us."

"Oh... that's sad. I think we all have lost our parents," I said.

"I wouldn't say that," Roy said. "Our mom is still alive."

"Oh?" I asked.

"It's true," Dustin said.

"Really?" Mrs. Kawa said as she was driving.

"Yah," Roy said, "But we don't know where she is. Our last name got changed so we won't know that it's her if we ever meet or see her. We don't remember her at all. We didn't ever get to see her. When we were born, those people took us away, and tried to kill us, but we escaped, Dustin and I."

"And, she got her memory erased of us," Dustin said.

"How can they do that?" I wondered.

"I don't know, they have things that can do that," Roy said.

"How long are we going to drive?" Sienna asked. She seemed pretty inpatient. "I'm hungry."

"Awwwww…" Everyone in the car echoed besides me.

"Well I'm sorry," she said. "It's not my fault."

"You can eat later," Mrs. Kawa said.

"Can I sit in the middle with Roy?" She asked. Maybe they were dating.

"But I still don't like you," Roy said. Maybe not.

We all reshuffled to where Roy and Sienna were sitting in the middle of the van, and Dustin and I were sitting in the back, where no one could really see what we were doing.

"Why are you helping us anyway, Mrs. Kawa?" I asked. She didn't need to be helping us, even though it was awfully nice.

"Well," she said as we started driving again, "My kids were killed by the diclonuis organization, that's why I quit that job. I don't want all of you too die too, just because you're different. Everything thinks just because someone is a little different, that makes it a flaw. If your different and nice, then you shouldn't be killed. Roy, that's another story for you."

"Yah," he smiled, "I know, I know."

"AH!"

"What's wrong Rika?!" Roy said as Dustin took me in his arms. I grabbed my back.

"Something's…wrong with my back…" I said. Dustin lifted up my shirt in the back.

"God," he said. "Mrs. Kawa I think you may know about this."

"Two large bruises on the shoulder blade in the back?" She asked.

"Yes," Dustin said. Roy and Sienna were trying to see.

"It'll be fine until tomorrow," she said.

"What… is it? What's wrong with me?" It didn't hurt anymore.

"I don't think I should tell you yet. But like I said, you'll be fine until tomorrow. You're body is doing what it should. You were born that way," Mrs. Kawa said, "But I think we should get you to a hotel as soon as possible, so I'll take the free way."

"Thank you," I said. Sienna gasped.

"It's not…?" she asked. Mrs. Kawa looked at us from the mirror and nodded her head. "Oh you're so lucky Rika! I wish I was you!"

"What?" What was so special?

"Just wait until tomorrow, you'll have a lot of fun," she said.

"OH…" Roy said, "It's that. I hope it doesn't hurt to much, but she's right, it'll be a lot of fun."

"Can anyone please tell me what is going to happen to me tomorrow?! I have a right to know."

"You're going to grow something," Dustin said. "It'll hurt a lot. Are you sure you want to know?"

"Yes," I said.

"They're hidden in the fourth dimension when you want them to be. They're kind of like your other arms, but these only work when they're visible to other people," Roy said.

"What are they?" I still didn't know. Mrs. Kawa was turned around, looking at us.

"WATCH OUT!" Sienna shouted. We all looked forward, and there was a little girl, just standing there and staring at us.

Mrs. Kawa stopped the car. She was laying on the ground, face down.

"Shit," Roy said.

Everyone got out of the van and went to her. "Is she dead?" Sienna asked.

"I don't think so. Look." Mrs. Kawa said. On the girls back appeared two little feathery snow white wings. She stood up. She was probably about seven.

"I'm fine!" She smiled, brushing off her plain purple dress with her hands. "I flew under you, but I got beat up a little bit I guess," she smiled. She took her piggy tails out because they got messed up. She had large green eyes and her thin soft brown hair went to her shoulders. "I'm Momo! I'm sorry I was in the middle of the street, these men were chasing after me."

"What did they look like?!" Sienna asked.

"Tall, and big, and they were all wearing black."

"Where's your Mommy and Daddy?" Roy asked, bending down to her level.

"I don't have a mommy or daddy, they're dead! I live by myself!" She replied, smiling. We all exchanged glances.

I got down on my knees, to her level. "Do you want to come with us Momo? We're running away from those big fat meany men too. We'll keep you safe!" I smiled.

"Yah!" She smiled. "Let me go find my brother! He can come, too, right?" We all looked at Mrs. Kawa.

"Yes, of course!" She smiled. She ran off. "Don't let her out of your sight Roy." He followed silently behind her.

"Onii-saaaannnnn!!!" We could all hear in the distance. Dustin smiled a little. I guess no one had ever said that to him before. A few minutes later she came close again, and holding her hand was a boy at about the age of me.

"Who are you?" He asked, seeming to be over protective of his little sister.

'We all are running from those men in black suits," Sienna said. "We all have birth defects, and so does your little sister. They're trying to capture us and kill us like we're animals. We asked Momo if she would come with us. It'd be safer if we all stayed together."

"She's not coming with you," he said simply. He looked familiar. Very familiar. I couldn't tell who he was because his hair was over his eyes, and it was apparently dyed dark brown.

"Do I know you?" I asked. "You look very familiar."

"I'm sorry I did that to you," he said.

"What?" I asked.

"You don't recognize me Rika?" He asked.

"No."

"Eric is my onii-san," Momo said.

"I won't let you keep her with you, she'll be killed," I said. "I don't trust you. You broke me." He was the guy that cheated on me with my best friend Sarah in seventh grade.

"I'm sorry to hear that," he said. He was wearing a black T-shirt and baggy blue jeans.

"You're homeless?" I asked. I never knew that.

"I… take care of Momo." We all got the message. They weren't really siblings.

"Errrriiiiiiccccccccc!!!" A girls voice called.

"I know that voice," I said.

"Don't get out of control," Dustin said out loud. He knew everything about me, because of course I had been talking to him for a year.

Sure enough, Sarah walked toward us. "Oh, I didn't expect to ever see you again, Rika." She was wearing a pink noodle strap shirt and light blue daisy dukes. She still smelt like lemon.

"What a slut," Roy said. "Like, oh my god! Was that out loud!?" It was funny seeing him make fun of her.

"Uh, and like, who the hell are you?"

"The biggest serial killer in the US," Roy said.

"Ha ha ha, I'm laughing," Sarah said back.

"I wouldn't say that if I were you," I said.

"Shut up," she said, slapping me in the face, knocking me to the ground. She laughed. "You're still as weak as usual." I took off my hat. "Nice costume horns," she said, smiling. I stood up.

"They're not fake," I said. Now the boys took off their hat.

"You're Dustin?" Eric asked. I told Eric about him when we were going out.

"Yes."

"I wouldn't mess with them, Sarah," Eric warned her, "They could kill you instantly."

"Yah right, what are they gonna do. They're just stuck-up fucking losers that—"

"We could kill you instantly, but what'd be the fun in that?" Dustin said. I looked at him. His eyes were now red instead of brown. I'd never seen him like this before.

"Like any of you would do anything," Sarah laughed.

"You're a bitch. I hate you," I said. She punched me in the face, knocking me down again. Now I was face-down on the ground. I felt something wet but warm splatter on my ankle. I was scared of what it was. I got myself to get up, and I wiped the away the blood from my mouth and nose. I stared in horror of what was in front of me. All I saw was mouths moving, no sound. Everything seemed to go by so slow.

"RIKA!" Mrs. Kawa screamed, me finally being able to hear her. I guess I was in a trance like stage. I didn't even notice before the anger inside of me. It was more than I had ever felt. I need to take it out on something. "Good, you're back to normal. Can you hear me?" Mrs. Kawa asked.

"Yah," I answered as I walked toward Dustin and Roy. Sienna was in the car, covering Momo's ears as they looked the opposite way of what was going on.

"Rika, whoa you look mad for once, you want to help torture her?" Roy asked. Sarah was being held up by one of Dustin's vectors, and her hand was amputated off, laying on the ground. She was crying, and Eric wasn't around anywhere.
