Here's chapter two for you! Enjoy!
Rhydian turned around and spotted a dark blue haired girl, hood up, dressed in black, head down. He subtly sniffed the air and smiled lightly when it smelt like her.
Maddy.
Turning to his three friends, he nodded his head to the girl and they stood there shocked. Eyeing each other, they all walked up to the blue-haired female.
"Mads?" Rhydian asked quietly, almost inaudible for the human ear. The girl twitched and suddenly grabbed his arm, dragging him, the rest following, to behind Bernie's.
"You should have shut up and leave me alone!" The girl said, putting her hood down to reveal she was indeed Madeline Smith.
"I love your hair." Jana smiled, making everyone glare at her.
"Where have you been?" Tom asked, moving forward to hug her but thought better of it.
"Around." Maddy gulped.
"Where's your parents?" Shannon asked.
"Dead and gone." Maddy replied, leaning against the wall.
"Why did you come back? It's not safe!" Jana asked. Maddy glared at her.
"You think I don't know that?!" Maddy hissed back. Her eyes watered and she sighed, closing them. "Sorry." she whispered.
"How long ago did they die?" Shannon asked, her own eyes watering.
Maddy looked down at her beaten up Converse and sighed. "Three weeks ago. Alric killed them." Maddy whispered, tears slipping down her cheeks. "I didn't know what to do so I came back."
"I'll kill him." Jana gritted out her teeth, clenching her fists tightly.
"Come here." Shannon said, holding her arms out. Tentatively, Maddy went inside them and wrapped her own arms around her best friend. She let herself cry all the tears that she had been holding back since three weeks ago.
"Do you know about the murder?" Rhydian asked. Maddy sighed and nodded.
"I went to investigate. You guys do know it was not me, right?" she asked.
"Of course it wasn't you!" Tom said, shocked that she would think that.
"Good. I don't know who this wolf is. Didn't get enough dirt." Maddy sighed, leaning back against the wall. "I'm stupid. I shouldn't have risked my life like this. They are still at my home." Maddy cried angrily.
"You can stay at mine." Jana offered. Maddy smiled at her and nodded. Jana lived in the caravan alone.
"I'm glad you're back." Rhydian smiled, kissing her cheek, making her flinch. He stepped back, hurt.
"Oi! Tom, another person got killed!" They heard. Eyes wide, Maddy hid behind their man-wall.
"Who, Jimi?" Tom asked. Jimi looked at Rhydian, Jana and Shannon before answering.
"Devon Scott." he said. Shannon nearly fell to the ground sick. "Messed up he was. Just like lil' Billy."
"Oh my gosh." Jana whispered, her and Shannon holding onto each other.
"You coming?" Jimi asked, clearing his throat awkwardly.
"Might do." Rhydian answered for them. Nodding farewell, Jimi left.
"What do we do?" Maddy asked, coming out from behind them.
"We check it out." Rhydian said.
