I don't own any of the characters in this story.
Gwen slowly got up, feeling a little bit of pain from the fall. The little boy did the same, but seeing who knocked him down, he got up faster, and growled at her angrily. Gwen got up, nervously, while looking at the boy's expression.
"Who are you?" The boy asked, walking towards her. Gwen tried to get away from the boy, but he wouldn't allow it. He stood up straighter.
"What are you doing?" He asked, confused by her actions.
Gwen looked at him, sternly. "My father says to never turn your back on a graveyard. And I guess when he meant graveyard, he also meant you!"
The boy rolled his eyes, and said, "Wow. You're a real suck-up to your dad, if you listen to what he says."
"I'm not a suck-up!" Gwen yelled, defensively.
"Yes, you are. You're daddy's little girl." The boy said, walking away from her and to a big, nearby lake. Gwen watched him, and soon followed him. He started to walk on big rocks in the lake, with things sticking out of them.
"A punk like me doesn't need anybody! I take care of myself." He said, proudly, standing still on one of the rocks.
Gwen followed him into the lake, and onto the rocks. "Really?" She asked. "Cool."
The boy turned around to look at her, but soon screamed when a shark started coming out of the water, and opened its mouth. Gwen turned around, and screamed as well. Gwen ran, dodging the big shark's grasp. The boy jumped on another rock, with Gwen jumping on the same one.
The boy leaned down, putting his hands on his knees, both of them breathing heavily. "That was a close one." He said.
Gwen laughed, and said, "Sure was." Suddenly, the rock below their feet started to move. Gwen and the boy screamed as the rock turned out to be another shark with lots more around it and under it. Gwen and the boy screamed and jumped off the shark.
Gwen ran to a tree growing in the lake, and climbed it. The boy ran farther away from her. "Hey. What about me?" Gwen asked her voice full of fear.
The boy continued to run, and said, "I'll distract them. Run." The boy started dodging other sharks, and soon slipped and fell into the water. Gwen gasped.
The boy came up to the surface, his lungs filling up with air. He turned his head to see a big shark swimming directly toward him. The boy screamed.
Gwen looked toward the boy, and saw the shark. "Hey. Look out!" She screamed to him.
The boy didn't move, all he did was scream, as the shark started to open its big mouth, revealing its rows of teeth. Right when he thought he was done for, the shark's mouth was quickly shut closed. The boy looked up and saw Gwen standing on the shark's mouth.
Gwen reached for his hand, and said, "Move it!" The boy took Gwen's hand. Gwen pulled the boy out of the water. Gwen and the boy continued jumping on the sharks' backs, until they finally reached the other side of the lake and onto land.
Gwen and the boy ran a distance away from the shark infested lake, and looked at it, both of them gasping for air. The sharks looked at the two kids, then they swam underneath the water's surface.
"I did it." Gwen began. "I did it!" Then she stuck her tongue out at the sharks. Gwen and the boy ran away and out of the graveyard, and into a forest nearby.
"Wow. Did you see that shark's teeth?" Gwen asked the boy, then she started making shark noises. The boy looked at her, a little confused.
What Gwen and the boy didn't know was that, someone was watching them behind a tree in the forest. The woman had a slender figure with long black hair, and looked to be Asian. The woman glared at them, but mainly at Gwen.
Gwen finished talking, then gave out a big sigh. She turned to the boy, and said, "You were really brave. Risking your life to all those sharks."
The boy looked at her, and smiled. "Yeah? You were really brave too. My name's Duncan."
Gwen walked toward him, and looked at Duncan. "I'm Gwen." The woman behind the tree growled to herself as she heard that name.
Then Gwen quickly touched Duncan's shoulder with her hand. "Tag! You're it!" Gwen said, running a few steps backward.
Duncan didn't do anything. Gwen tried again, and said, "Tag! You're it! You're it!" Gwen started laughing, then looked confused as Duncan still stood there, doing nothing. "Hello? You run? I tag? Get it?" She asked.
Duncan still looked at her funny. "What's the matter? Don't you know how to play?" Gwen asked, smirking.
"Of course, I do. You just didn't give me a chance to try and tag you back. That's all." Duncan said, defensively.
Gwen continued to smirk at Duncan. Then said, "Well, come on. Tag me. I'm all yours."
Duncan smiled then was about to reach over to tag her, when someone stepped in front of her. Duncan looked up to see Gwen's father, Trent, towering over him. Duncan gasped, while Gwen looked shocked to see her father there.
The woman walked from behind the tree, and stepped in front of Duncan. The woman glared at Trent, while Trent glared at her.
"Heather." Trent whispered.
Heather smiled, and said, "Trent." They continued to glare at each other, when Heather saw Courtney, Owen, Noah, and Cody standing behind Trent and Gwen.
"Courtney." Heather said, glaring at Gwen's mother.
Courtney narrowed her eyes in anger, and said, "Heather."
"Noah, Owen." Noah said, trying to get into the conversation. "Great! Now that we all know each other. Get off of our property!" He yelled.
Heather turned and glared at him. "Your property?" Noah jumped, and ran behind Owen.
"This land belongs to Alejandro!" Heather told Trent, angrily.
Trent glared at Heather. "I fired you and your family. Now you and that boy get out!"
Heather looked down at Duncan, and asked, "Haven't you met my son, Duncan? He was supposed to follow in Alejandro's footsteps before you came along. Why don't you two meet?" She said, pushing Duncan toward Trent. Trent looked down at Duncan, while Duncan just stood there and shook, nervously.
Noah scoffed, while getting out from behind Owen. "That's your kid? That's just a maraca with skin and bones!"
"You're right about one thing, Noah." Heather said. "He is just skin and bones, because when Trent fired us, we lost all of our money. Now we have no home, have little food, and little water. Now we won't be able to help our starving children." She said, then looked toward Trent seeing if he would give in to what she was asking.
Trent turned around and picked up Gwen into his arms, and said, "You and your son get out." He then turned around and walked away.
Heather glared at Trent as he and his family and friends walked away. She then picked up Duncan in her arms and walked in the opposite direction.
Gwen looked toward Duncan, who was being carried the opposite direction. Gwen waved, and whispered, "Bye."
"Bye." Duncan whispered to Gwen, as he watched her being carried away by her father in the opposite direction.
