Chapter 2
An intense, utterly irritable tapping noise rose from the corridor. Danni leaned against the wall, beside the closed bathroom door. "Come on Carly! It can't take that long to put on make-up" she complained, increasing the tempo of taps, she was hitting her left foot against the floor creating the sound. She heard a sigh from the other side of the door "You know if you don't like it you will just have to get out of bed before I do" Carly said almost mockingly. It was early morning, and the morning ritual was already in motion. Finally! After half an hour the bathroom door opened up. "You sure do take your sweet ti…me.." Danni starred at the absolutely beautiful woman who walked out, the make-up was perfect, and it looked so natural. Her hair was sat up in a high ponytail and… she looked like a goddess.
Carly started to laugh "oh please don't look at me like that! Your making me blush" she said, but stopped a minute afterwards. That sounded so wrong. Danni burst into laughter and they laughed together. "Sorry, but your beautiful sis" Danni said flat-out. "Flatter gets you nowhere, you still have to help Jeremy getting dressed" She said walking down the stairs with a smile. Grinning when she heard her sister groan "do you have to remind me every fucking day! And for god's sake let the boy wake up first would ya" the blond complained stepping into the bathroom. "Of course sister dearest!" she heard Carly shout before she closed the door.
They weren't really sisters, they wouldn't ever be. But it sure felt like it. Her parents had told her that they had found her at an orphanage when she was little. Danni knew that she was adopted; it wasn't really that hard to guess, she didn't look one bit like any of the others in the household. But they were her family, and she loved them with all of her heart. "Danni! Jeremy is up now and he's waiting for you" her mother knocked on the door as she stepped out of the shower "alright I'm there in a minute".
"Alright Mister Jeremy, ready or not here I come" Danni shouted as she stormed into her brothers room. She looked around, holding back the laughter in her throat as she saw how the toy-chest closed fast. "Oh I wonder where my dear brother has gone! Hmmm" she said in a loud tone, really living herself into the role, "maybe, he is hiding under the bed!" she said out loud and heard sniggers from the chest, yet she checked under the bed. "Or maybe behind the curtains?" she checked behind the almost transparent curtains. "Hmm not there either? I wonder where Jeremy could be?" she smirked; this was one of her favorite parts of the day, every day. Deciding to end the game, she walked past the chest. She sprung back as her brother jumped out of the chest and into her arms.
"JEREMY! There you were!" she shouted, spinning him around in the air "I was soooo worried you little sneaky-head" she said holding him in her arms. Jeremy was only 6 and a half year old, he had jet-black hair and shiny green eyes just like his father. "And what is this! Your still in you pajamas, Jeremy, we have to be at school in an hour" she said, sounding a little too worried for her own taste. Her brother simply buried his head in her collarbone. He shook his head lightly almost like trying not to cry, "Hey, hey! What's wrong Remy" she asked using his special code-name. He would usually go under that name when the played. "I don't want to go, everyone always makes fun of me" the little boy said, trying to stop himself from sobbing, but he failed miserably. Danni felt her heart starting to itch; and sat down on the bed. She sat there crossed-legged stroking his hair gently as she tried to calm him down. "Oh please don't cry, I will just start to cry and it would really ruin my mascara" she said hearing him chuckle in between laughs. As he calmed down, his breathing became longer and slower.
"That's it, now" she placed him in her lap so she could look him in the eyes "You do have friends I know you do, I have seen you with them" she said and he nodded "but, as much as you may like you can't befriend everyone" this time she could see his puzzled gaze and how his eyes started to fill up with tears. "But don't be sad, everyone is different from one another, it is this that makes us special. We can't be friends with whomever we like sometimes, because we simply don't have anything in common with the person. And beside if we were friends with everyone, who would then be our enemy? What should we fight for and why?" He looked like he was thinking and then looked deep into her pale blue eyes "I don't understand that big sis" he said looking disappointed in himself, Danni smiled 'yeah I'm not even sure I understood it myself' she thought but gave him a smile "don't worry about it, I'm simply saying that not anyone can be your friend and those who can't will always try to fight you, in this case by making fun – Don't listen to them" she finally finished. They sat there in the peaceful quiet for a minute, Danni started to stir and a minute later she stood up, with her brother in her arms "but, you still need to get dressed".
"Hey daddy" she said walking into the kitchen, leaning in and kissing his cheek, before wiping her lips. "Good morning dear" he said while reading the paper. Danni took a single slice of bread and began eating. Her mother came rushing into the kitchen, "oh god I'm late, I have to be at the office in 10 minutes" she said flipping her purse over her should before packing a quick lunch. "I will see you guys later, Danni don't forget to pick Jeremy up after school, and no skipping today, are we clear" she said in a commander like voice while holding her death-glare on her daughter "Yeah yeah I get it" the adolescent said sighing heavily.
Her father turned half, looking up at her "You skipped school again? Why? You do you keep doing that, school is important you know" Danni stood up grabbing her bag "Yeah I know… I will stop, I promise" she said stuffing the last piece of bread into her mouth. Her mother crossed her arms before her chest "oh you mean like you promised to start playing the piano again" she said strictly "I will get to that" Danni snapped, her mother rolled with her eyes "I'm still waiting in anxiousness for that to happen". Danni walked out of the room, leaving them with no answer.
She stood at the end of the staircase "Jeremy! Are you ready?" no answer "If you aren't coming down, I will have to come get you!" she shouted with a small smile. In a matter of minutes she could hear someone running upstairs, she threw her bag to the side leaving her arms wide open. Jeremy jumped up on the railing and glided down with such a speed it was hilarious. At a six steps height he jumped of the railing, for a minute he was soaring through the air, until gravity grabbed its hold of him yet again, sending him flying right into his sister's arms. "Woah woah, clap your horses mate!" she laughed, "horses? I was a rocket sis!" Jeremy shouted, "You sure was" sounded the responds.
"Hey sis?" the boy broke the silence. "Yes Jeremy?" "Why does fire burns" He asked. The two humans were walking to school, Carly had taken a ride with a friend. "Well, first you need to answer another question, which is 'What is fire'". Jeremy was looking up at her with wide eyes, clearly interested. "Fire comes from a chemical reaction between oxygen and some sort of fuel, such as wood or gasoline, just for example." Jeremy looked a bit confused "What is oxygen sis?" Danni laughed sweetly. "Well oxygen is all around us, it's simply another word for air" she said trying to explain it to her brother, Jeremy looked around him, like he was trying to spot the air, making Danni snigger. "But how come, the trees aren't at fire?" Danni was proud of her brother for coming with such a question, it was a very fair question, not stupid. "Of course, wood and gasoline don't spontaneously catch on fire just because they're surrounded by oxygen. For the combustion reaction to happen, you have to heat the fuel to itsignition temperature. "
"You mean like, lightning? Some parent said that lightning was very warm" he said, Danni was a little unsure of this, it sounded possible but she hadn't read anything about lightning. Weather wasn't her strong point, she could also tell that they were close to Jeremy's school, she wouldn't have the time to explain it to him anyway. "You know what, I'm not sure, I will try and figure it out so when I pick you up after school I have the answer" Jeremy chirped happily, the school was just up ahead, it made him frown slightly as they stopped at the gate. Danni sat down, setting her brother's cloths right "and remember Jeremy, not everyone can be your friend, okay?" he nodded slightly before flashed a smile, "oh look! Camilla is waiting at the door, why don't you go with her?" Danni said, finally leaving his shirt alone. Jeremy took one glance before he hugged Danni goodbye. She stood up and watched as he disappeared safely inside the building.
She ran as fast as her legs could carry her, but she was way out of breath already. The school bell had rung for about 15 minutes ago; she could see the roof of the education building and was racing towards it. The hallways were empty and abandoned. She quickly found her history books and walked down the corridor, stopping just outside the classroom door to take a deep breath. Slowly she opened the door, the teacher was pointing on several words on the board, and she didn't even look out on the students. Danni did her best to sneak in and close the door quietly as the teacher continued on her monolog. With a quick scan of the room, she found a seat not too far away down in the middle section. Sitting down, she let a heavy sigh leave her throat. She could hear her classmates sniggering at her, but ignored them stubbornly. "Well Miss Elm, since you decided to show up today I take it you don't mind helping me in the library in your lunch break" the teacher (Miss Flamore) said turning around with a wicked smile on her lips, "oh blasted!" Danni let her head drop to the table sending the class roaring with laughter.
"Ahh man, what a day…" tiredly the blond stretched her back, stepping out of the main building into the sun, school day for today was over. "Now I remember why I started skipping school" she muttered. "Hey freak-show over here!" Danni didn't do it because she wanted to; she instinctively turned around to face the sound. There form the east building came five broad guys. "Haha that's right come! here puppy!" Sean said. Of course, of all people on this earth she had to run into Sean and his cheering squad. There were five of them, Sean included, and they were more or less the biggest assholes in the entire universe. Now every girl would have to admit, they were smoking hot, no doubt about it. But that just didn't make up for their personality.
Sean had dark brownish hair along with gorgeous brown eyes. One of the boys threw him the ball and he caught it with ease. Oh did I forget to mention that he was on the football team? Well now I have. He threw the ball to one of his donkeys, did I forget to mention they all were on the football team? Danni Sighed again and started to walk off leaving them behind "Hey I'm talking to you puppy! Your master is calling!" he yelled sounding furious, but he was joking. Or was he? "I'm better than them, just keep on walking, and just keep on walking…" she repeated inside her head. That was until a donkey stepped in front of her, "you are being a bad dog" he said with a smirk. The other boys began encircling her; she turned around trying to find a way out. "Now Elm… You have been a very bad dog, do you know that?" Sean said finishing the circle, Danni sprung around to face him "fuck off Sean" he only laughed at her. People were beginning to form around them, mumbeling the word "fight".
"Elm you have been gone for days! You made me so worried about you" he said in between laughs. "Sorry but I think I missed the joke and get the hell out of my way!" Danni hissed, the boys backed up a bit with mocking "uhh's" "Now, now, you are so aggressive… I believe we better do something about that" she quickly dodged as he tried to hit her. She easily slipped past him, she pushed her way through the crowd, but just as she reached to other side, facing the parking lot. Two hands encircled her lifting her from the ground "where do you think you're going pup" with an angry snarl, Danni flipped her head backwards colliding with his face. His embrace broke and he dropped her while swearing and holding his nose. Danni was fast to get to her feet, she knew that she didn't stand a chance against them, and her best option was to run and hide, and then pray to god that they wouldn't find her.
So that was exactly what she did. Before they could catch her again, she made a run for it. Sprinting down the street with them on her heels, yelling a pushing. The only thought going through her head was "if they catch me, I'm dead meat". She made a sharp turn, into an alley; It was a dead end with a large fence at the end. Knowing that she couldn't turn around, she jumped at the fence swinging herself over. Saying that it was a graceful landing would be a lie. She landed flat on the ground. The world was spinning slightly but she forced herself to get up. The blond could hear the boys crawling the fence as she left the alley. That stupid decision had just given her more time, a grin spread across her lips.
She sprinted out on the road, a few meters away she could see a yellow Lamborghini Murcielago drive towards her. The odd thing was that behind it was a red Lamborghini Murcielago, tell me how often do you see that? With a quick glance behind her, she saw that Sean was waiting for her to turn back. No way in hell, that that was going to happen. She speed up, passing the first two tracks, just as the Lamborghini came out in front of her, she jumped up. Landing on the hood with one foot. It was like an electrified shock went through her body and the car, and then it was gone. She quickly jumped off the car. The yellow Lamborghini honked in surprise along with coming to an abrupt stop. Just like almost any other car on the road. Danni still held that blasted grin when she tumbled down on the other track, landing on the back.
She barely rolled out of the way before the next car, which hadn't seen the commercial, drove over the spot she had just laid. She stood up, facing Sean, which was as red as a tomato of bare rage. But he didn't dare run after her out on the tracks. "Just you wait Elm! You can't run from us forever!" he shouted. She simple bared her teeth "Watch me Evens!" and with that she turned and started to run again.
"Whoa! Did you feel that Sunny!" the red Lamborghini cried through the radio "felt it? FELT IT! She fucking stepped on me! I swear if I find a footprint on my hood she i-""no not only that! That feeling she sent, she didn't even touch me and I felt it!" the radio was silence for a minute "now where you say it, you might be hanging on to something Sides" the red car chirped happily before replying angrily "and those guys were chasing her!" Sunstreaker felt like hitting hit brother "so?" The yellow Lamborghini started up again, moving down the street closely followed by his brother. "Shouldn't we maybe help her?" the red one tried "with what? Sides it's already over, nothing for us to do" the silence filled the air for a minute "I know but maybe she will need it" Sides said pouting slightly.
Sunstreaker sighed heavily when his brother started talking again. "But at least she was pretty eh?" Sides laughed into the radio taking a turn down another street, separating him from his brother. "And where do you think you're going?" the yellow said suspicious "come on, Sunny I need to make sure she's alright, meet you back at base!" the red one said and speeded off "I have a bad feeling about this" Sunstreaker said to himself.
EH!? Whatcha say? I think it pretty good if i must say, normally I'm not good at coming up with a chase, and writing about it. But I like this!
