Chapter 22: Tears and Perssure

"Okay, Lulu….Go!"

I started to run, up and down.

It was like the race for my life. Well, if you want to stay in shape.

"Okay 1, move to the back!"

"This is ridicules, how are we help her with this running and up the stairs thing!"

It was one of my P.E. things for home schooling.

I to run up and down the stairs, it took the breath right out of you.

"Alright, 3 behind your twin, wait…the twins are out of here!"

They sounded like people in one of the sports things.

It was funny to see something like that.

I keep running, my legs were on fire.

It was like a heat wave was on them.

"And…9!"

I finally made a stop.

I grab a glass of water.

They started to dance, they look so happy about living here with me.

My thoughts went back to The B.R.A.I.N's words.

It was coming for us.

It didn't know where I was.

At least, I thought it did, but, I have to be careful.

I check my email, nothing from it since New Years.

It was gone.

I just wanted to know it got a hold of me.

I thought, just wait and the battle will start.

Not like the people around here would care.

"Something wrong?" 5 ask me

"No…it nothing…."

"Lulu…you say that about everything."

He was right, it was my new favorite words.

I used it for everything now.

It was my way of keep them secret and their safety.

I was sounded like 1 in a way.

I think the talk with killer of my new friends was scaring me a little.

"Did something happen?"

"I just got a bad comment about something, that was it."

I lied though my teeth.

I look at my messages and saw a note from my friend around the area.

I told her about my move and she want to meet up with me this Sunday.

I talk to my mom about it and she said it was okay!

I was going my best friend again!

"Lulu? It not a bad comment? Wait…do you know this person?"

"Yeah, I knew her, she a great friend before I was pulled out of public school."

I missed my friends, I could talk to some of them online.

Wait, I know she was a fan of 9.

I could tell her about them.

Wait, when I told people I dress up for pictures, they thought I was crazy and weird.

She didn't think I was weird.

We talk to each other online a lot.

I wanted to talk with her in person before I leave.

"Hey, can we meet her?" 5 ask me. "Well…."

"Please Lulu…"

6 use his cute face of his.

I can't refuse that face.

"Alright."

That night, I couldn't sleep.

I was having a panic attack again.

The B.R.A.I.N was looking for me and the others.

I wish I was the aliens from Avatar and attack it.

No…I would be fighting something else.

"Lulu…"

"Oh 6, did I wake you up?"

"No…"

"You like to draw with me?"

I ask him, he smiled at me.

"Sure…"

6 and I draw some pictures, it was one in the morning.

I didn't care, nights didn't like me sleeping half of the time.

I draw some of my characters again.

Mikuru and Kai from my Watcher story.

I heard 6 yelp a bit.

I saw his picture, it was me and The B.R.A.I.N. face to face.

But, I felt another panic attack again.

I eat my last box of pocky anyway, I say pocky is cure for everything.

"Lulu…sorry you saw that…"

I look at 6, there was no reason for him to worry.

But, I should be worried.

I don't know when the B.R.A.I.N would attack.

My heart was beating like Bella's.

I wasn't having a baby who was trying kill me inside.

I was human and her friends are rag dolls.

And a machine was on the move to kill me just to get to the them.

Tears started to fill my eyes again.

My panic attack was getting worst.

I haven't cried this much since last year.

"Lulu…don't cry…"

I buried my head in my pillow and cried.

"What wrong?"

I was under more pressure then before.

"Ssshhh…Lulu, it alright. Don't cry."

I cried till the sun came up.

No one was up and my tears were gone.

All the stitch punks were setting close to me.

My heart was clam now, I was safe.

"Do you need to sleep?" 9 ask me.

"Yeah…"

My head was hurting, my thoughts were trying to tell me…ran away and head for your new home.

As much as I won't to, I can't leave my family if that thing is here.

Somewhere…

Me: Sorry everyone...I haven't been...you know...

2: Inspired?

Me: Yeah....

9: She been, out again.

7: Plus, she been working on her story about her character 11.

5: Plus, her head is hurting at the moment.

6: Long week...

9: Well, Lulu doesn't own me, I mean 9, me? I belong to Shane Acker. I mean 9 belongs to Shane Acker.

7: Don't hurt youself 9.

5: Remember, no rude comments.

2: Only helpful ones.

6: See you in the next chapter...
