Time for the third chapter... I hope I get this stuff right, cause I got the book from the library so... yeah.
Sonia walks around slightly lost, trying to find the McDonalds for some breakfast. She climbs onto the roof of a car and looks around, hating the confused feeling she had. She glares out at the empty sky and hops off the car. She kicks over and garbage can and sits on a bench angrily.
She looks up just in time to see Mary Terrafino walking past her on the way to the daycare, "Mary! Thank god your here, I'm lost!"
Mary smiles, "Where're you trying to go?"
"McDonald's."
"It's literally right down the street and to the lef-"
"Thanks Mary, I owe you one!" Sonia makes a bee-line for the McDonalds, feeling the hunger tugging at her stomach.
Mary stares at the spot where Sonia was just standing, then glances at her retreating figure a good distance away. Her mouth falls open slightly, but she quickly shuts it, putting it off as a mind trick. Sonia was normal... well... pretty normal.
Sonia trips on the curb and falls face first onto the ground, staying like that for awhile. A few younger kids walk over and poke her with curiousity.
"Is she dead?" The girl gasps.
Sonia sits up slowly, "Ouch."
The three children run away screaming something about a zombie, to Sonia's confusion. She shakes it off and climbs back to her feet. She goes into McDonald's like nothing happened, even though there was a big bruise in her forehead and a cut on her lip.
"What happened to you?" Albert chuckles as he wipes off the front counter.
"The ground attacked me."
Krissy had taken to staying in the house, realizing that the bullies were taking over, and that she should keep First-Aid in easy reach. She takes a damp cloth and cleans the sticky soda off the top of her stereo speakers. She sighs in annoyance, unaware of how soda got on them when she was watching over the whole party. They were her precious speakers...
Krissy gets the stains off and goes about cleaning the whole house in a sad attempt to keep herself entertained until either Violet or Sonia got back.
"This is the way the world ends." She sighs. "Kids dying, bullies taking over and people getting powers." She says with a grim smile.
It didn't take long to clean the house, since some kids were nice enough to clean up the party mess. She paces around and just begins to think about what's happening. Sonia was on the "police's" bad side, Violet seemed out of it and there was an alien in the mine shaft. How much worse could this get.
Krissy sits on the couch, bouncing her leg and trying to pass the time with redecoration plans. She couldn't stay focused, feeling as if she was missing something. She puts on her Ipod and goes on a jog around town.
"Maybe I'll go see what Astrid's up to." She mutters, then scoffs. "Pass the time with being confused."
Krissy asks around before finding her way onto Astrid's front steps. She knocks on the door and waits patiently for Astrid to answer.
"Krissy? What brings you here?" Astrid looks surprised.
"Well, I was hoping you had already figured out the FAYZ wall...?"
"Come in,"
The two girls(plus Little Pete) sit on the couch. An old DVD was on, showing Spongebob demonstrating how to blow a bubble. Krissy laughs softly at the sponges' antics.
"It's like a big egg," Astrid launches into her description. "A big dome, the power plant at the middle of it. It's 20 meters in diameter in all directions, and it's not such a good idea to touch."
Krissy draws a blank as Astrid keeps on talking.
"So, what do you think?" Astrid brings the girl back into reality.
"I think... That we're in hell." I grumble. "And I think I should keep Sonia away from the FAYZ wall."
"Why?"
"Because she'll be the dumb ass the touch it."
Violet, being the good girl she is, decieded to help out at the daycare. She had always liked the little tykes anyways. At the time, she was playing with a kid named Anthony.
Violet squishes her face, Anthony copying her actions. "Now say what I say," She giggles. "My name is Bubby. Bubby is a Fish."
"I 'ame ish Buwwy. Buwwy is a wish." Anthony tries to say the words with his face squished together.
Violet laughs softly, Anthony joining in. Mary glances at the younger girl who came here because she actually wanted to.
The triplets seem kinda off to me... She thinks, bouncing a kid named Davy on her knee. I think they're hiding something.
Violet silently curses as yet another headache washes over her. She does her best to push the pain away and keeps playing with the group of kids who had formed. Another wave of pain hits and she hunches over with a groan.
"Are you okay, Purple!" A slightly older girl gapes down at Violet.
Purple... I could deal with that. Violet sits up as the pain eases away. It's actually not to far from my name.
Violet begins giving horse-rides, laughing and grinning the whole time. That is, until a kid threw up on her. She squeals, grossed out, and pushes the kid off. Mary laughs softly as Violet disapears into the bathroom to wash her hair.
"Aliens, mutants and kids with powers I can deal with..." Violet shudders as she uses a bunch of paper towels to dry off her hair. "Throw up? Big no-no."
Sonia had found the McDonalds and had a nice dinner of fries, water and a beef patty on a bagel. Being the curious person she is, she decieded to see what Caine had planned. The sad part was, Caine was the mayor and Sonia didn't even know his name.
So, the small girl climbed through the vents and listened in on some of the conversation.
"...untrustworthy were plastered." A voice she recognized as Drake's says.
"Good, keep them in place." Caine mutters. "Diana, what did you get from those triplets."
"Violet's a 2 bar, so is Krissy."
"And Sonia?"
"Couldn't tell, she pulled away to fast."
Caine growls almost inaudibly.
Bars... Like, cellphone's? Sonia wrinkles her nose. What's she talking about?
Krissy returns from her jog, sweating heavily and out of breath. She leans on the door, her Ipod having died 10 minutes ago. She slides down the door and sits on her knees. She crosses jogging off her mental list of things to do.
"Krissy, why're you leaning on the door like that?" Violet comes up behind her sister.
Krissy slowly sits up, turning her head a bit to see her sister, "I hate running."
