Chapter 6: Shopping Trip

"No! Absolutely Not!"

I had a feeling that 1 was going to complain about.

My shoulder was killing me.

Hopeful it would heal fast.

But, 1 wasn't going to trust me at all.

After yelling at him, and saving him.

But, I almost thought I was going to be killed there.

I would die here, of all of place.

"Lulu?!"

6 was on my good shoulder.

He kept looking at the shoulder that was bleeding.

I check if the bleeding had stop, which it did.

"Are you alright…?"

I nodded yes, I was fine, but it was still hurting.

"Don't worry, am fine."

"And how did this happen, because of someone who thought this would a good idea. And look what happen. We're stuck in this place!"

1 was giving me a headache.

I can't believe he hasn't thanked me yet either.

"She the reason you're alive now."

"I told her I had everything under control, tile she show up!"

1 treated me like I was nothing but a monster to them.

My chest was tight to the point I couldn't breath.

I want to hit something so hard my fists could bleed.

What am going to with them now?

I felt like I did back in school.

The pitiful me, the one who was treated like an outcast.

I want to cry so badly, but not in front of them.

I don't want them to see the pitiful me.

"How could you say something like that. She was brave enough to hold that thing off. And you're treating her like she wasn't."

6 was off my shoulder and went to hide behind 2, the twins hide behind 7.

"She done nothing to hurt us. She trying to keep us safe."

9 was sticking up for me?

I was trying to keep them safe from what might happen.

The fighting went on when my lessons were over.

Glad no one heard them.

I didn't want to go in there.

It was like my parents fighting.

I'll just wait till they're done.

I went inside of my brothers' room.

I wanted to see what my little one was doing.

"Hey."

"Hey Blond. What are you playing? Fallout again?"

My brothers were crazy about Fallout 3.

They'll find the craziest stuff on YouTube of it.

Am not into shooter games, for some odd reason.

"So, are you at the par…hahahahaha!"

"Are you sure, you're alright?"

Something was tickling me again.

I could feel something crawling under my shirt.

"Can we talk?"

9?! How did he get here?

Hold on, my little brother doesn't know.

If he see him, am so dead.

"Sure."

"Sure what?"

"Nothing."

I left the room, now my brother is going to think am crazy now, well, more or less.

I ran back in my room, 9 came out of my shirt finally.

It was like hiding a gift under your shirt.

"Alright, what is i-"

9 point out to the others, I forgot that they were fighting.

7 and 2 try to explain what happen during last week.

"I was talking abo-"

"Sorry. I know a place where we can talk alone."

The only place I could think of was out bathroom.

I never heading in there a lot.

I was hope no one would see me with 9.

My step dad was in the room, but, he didn't notice me coming down.

I close the door and flip on the lights.

I took a deep breath in, this stupid fight wasn't going to end was it?

"Thank you…am sorry to…it was just that you look like you're upset."

I was…he could tell that 1's words hurt a lot then I thought it would.

But, most of the time it just how I look.

It was just a face.

"It nothing…what is it?"

"1 want us to leave."

"What?! No, you don't know this place or this world! I can't let you get kill here!"

"What are you saying? 1 isn't going to liste-"

"Wait…I have an idea."

I don't have an idea!

Am an idiot to say that.

"So, what is it?"

It took a moment to think about it.

Then it came to me just now.

"You know what a store is?"

"No?"

"I'll take all of you with me to one. My grandma is going to Target and my mom is taking me with her."

"Why?"

"Let just say me and my step dad don't get along well…but let not worry. I'll put you somewhere saf-am not good at this."

"No…it not a bad plan."

Did 9 agreed with me about this plan.

I wasn't the greatest mastermind here, but it was a good plan to 9.

I hope it work out?

It was the weekend finally.

And the plan was somewhat was set, I had them inside my bag.

They're much lighter then I thought them would.

But, before we get to Target.

My family like to take walks everyday.

It was a lot fun, well, as long my brother don't act silly or try to kill each other.

I like to hide my bug under my set, but, I wonder I should leave inside of the van.

"Are we at the store yet?"

"Not yet, we will."

I wait for my brothers to be out of the van's sight.

"Okay, am going to walk around, but you have to stay inside of the van. As soon you see my family coming, anywhere…get back inside of the bag."

I was hoping 2 or 7 would take care of that.

"Lulu…I want to come…"

6 was close to the door of the van scared me a little.

I didn't really want him outside.

I knew for a fact that we're going to walk in the woods for sure today.

"Am sorry 6...I can't take you with me."

He back off a little, I was feeling sorry for him.

He been inside of my house the whole time he been here.

I was starting to feel…I don't know how explain it.

I was happy that we were almost done with our walk.

I was silent the whole time.

As much as I wanted to bring 6 with me, I couldn't.

The woods weren't a place for them.

It wasn't a place for me either.

I was at the van finally.

I almost hit it, but, I could see that there were inside of my bag.

I wanted to get this plan to be over and done.

Hopeful 1 could trust me a little bit more.

"Hey Welly? What going on with you?"

"What now Big Foot?"

One of the many nicknames for my older brother.

It was because hr was the tallest and the strongest out of us.

Every time you punch him, it hurt you then it does him.

"I mean, you been talking in your sleep. I never heard you do that."

I was talking in my sleep?

Wait…it must been 6.

Could it be that he talk while he dreaming?

Okay, that just sounded nuts there.

Well, I knew that some people talk in their sleep, but dolls?

While living ones, that was bit crazy.

"Well, it was worrying me."

"Right…"

Finally, we were at the store.

I grab my bag and jump out of the van.

Happy I didn't hurt anyone.

I could hear 8 making this pleasant sound, like he was happy about something.

I took a look inside.

He had that magnet of his.

That right, I still need to know what with him and that magnet?

"Hey 8, I wouldn't do that inside."

He look at me with a disappointment look.

Well, I don't really want people to think there was animal inside.

My mom and step dad wondering the store looking for my grandma.

Knowing my mom, she the one who lose her a lot.

My step dad spilt and left me and my mom alone.

There was a lot of people here today, well I hope no will think there toys or something?

I walk away from my mom a little till I was in a clear zone.

"Okay guys, go."

2 and 5 jump out first.

Then the twin and 6, 7 and 9, finally 8 and 1.

I give 9 the thumbs up, letting him now this is where the plan goes.

"Need anything, just find me."

I hope this works out alright.

I was in the books, I found the making of New Moon the movie.

It was really cool reading about movies like this.

I always like the movies, one of my favorite director was Tim Burton.

I loved almost all of his films.

They were so amazing!

"Hey Lulu."

5!? Wasn't he with the others.

How did he get here without getting hurt?

"5, what are you doing?"

"Well, 7 thought it would be better for me if I stayed with you."

"So, everyone knows you're here, except 1 and 8?"

I ask him, am sure 1 was going to have 8 kill him.

"Yeah. 8 or 1 didn't notice I left."

That good…but, how did he find me, did he follow me?

"So, are the othe-"

Just then, I heard something fall off one of the shelves.

Some little kids were screaming and crying.

It really scared them to death, I had a feeling that the plan was going to end up in failed.

"Guess you could say, that the plan is going…smoothly?"

It wasn't.

"5, you might want to hide."

"Why?"

I turn my head around and saw my mom coming.

"Trust me."

5 jump into my bag.

I felt him hit inside pretty hard.

"Hey sweetie."

"Hey. Everything went oh okay?"

"Yeah, your grandma is fine."

I look up to find 3 and 4 along with 6 on top where video games are.

"Oh crap…"

"What?"

"Nothing."

I walk to video games, 3 and 4 lost their balance and 6 grab them before they fall.

"Lulu."

9 and 7 were with them.

"Hold on, where 2? Wait don't tell m-"

I saw 2 get push by 8.

"You fools. Do you realize what she-"

1 gave me a glare, it made me pale.

"Sweet heart we're going to check out."

"Okay…"

I open my bag, 9 help2 up.

I was feeling sick, it was like that fight.

"Let go 8."

I was about to give up on 1 now.

I didn't think he'll trust me, not ever.

"Don't worry Lulu. He coming with us. I don't think he has a choice."

1 and 8 jump inside.

I close it and start to walk to my mom.

I hope 2 was going to alright.

I didn't want 8 to hurt him

. But, I didn't like violence.

Not in real life…
