Invisible Love Chapter 9, a miss peregrine's home for peculiar children fanfic

Chapter 10

POV Lori

As the wooden door creaked open, I could see a rusty blonde head looking at us. Victoria smiled and walked in. She saw the blood on me and her smile quickly vanished. She tackled her brother and demanded why he had tortured me. Did I look tortured, I had'nt really thought about my appearnce. "I... didn't... do nothing... to ..her." Victorian choked out as his sister strangled him. At the sound of his words and I looking at them puzzled, she let go.

"Then explain what happened to her." She demanded. Victorian looked at me, he saw I wasn't speaking so he had to do the talking. "Some of the servants tied her up and tried to kill her." He said as simple as that. Victoria looked at me and I nodded, verifying the story he had told me. "And what happened to the servants?" Victorian seemed to have forgotten about that part so I spoke." We locked them in the room they tortured me in. Now that I think of it we really should have taken better saftey precautions." Victoria pondered for a few seconds and asked a question. "Than if you don't leave now for your sister, the servants will get to you before you can leave. I hate to say this, but for your saftey we have to find your sister now." I nodded but said," You shouldn't come, it's to dangerous. I haven't any idea of what could happen." Both of them shrugged and I continued to shake my head.

" If you want to live, I suggest we leave now." Victoria said looking at the clock in her brother's room. I nodded and grabbed the small bag that had somehow stayed tied to my waist. We exited the bedroom and slowly made our way down the hall and then the stairs. "Don't make any sounds." Victorian whispered. "We weren't until you said that." I whispered back. Victoria held up a finger to her lips and we silenced. We kept on tip toeing down the stairs, the long staircase that didn't seem to end. Then we made it to the final thirty steps. We were joyed, until we heard the voices yell at us from about twenty steps behind us. We turned around and I saw the wights.

I gulped and we started to run down the stairs, not caring how much of a racket we made. "It's them! They want to kill me!" We shuffled our feet and one of the wights yelled, " Not kill you my dear, but experiment on you." I gave a disgusted look to then and almost made it down the stairs. "What do we do now, how do we get her to the staition?" Victorian asked, terror in his eyes. " I have an idea. Follow me." Victoria said as she ran faster. We quickly followed her out of the manor door and into want looked to be a garage. I was puzzled at first and then relized what she was doing. "Do any of you know how to drive a car?" She asked us. I shook my head but offered to drive. I got into the right side of the motor vehicle and tried to hotwire the thing. I didn't have the keys so I had to do so.

After a few failed attempts I was able to get the engine going. I slammed the door open and stepped on the gas pedal. I crashed the hood of the car into the wall, knocking a few nails and screws. "How did you learn to hotwire a car?" Victorian asked me impressed. "Don't ask but I will say it comes in handy when people try to kill you." He nodded and we heard the shouts of the wights. I stepped on the pedal again and we reversed this time. I heard the thump of something hitting the back of the black car. Whoops!

I finally got control of the car and made it out the garage. I drove like a mad woman, but to be fair I was only about twelve. In withen the five minutes of the ride in the car, I had hit two pedestrians, a sheep, and one poor cat. "You drive horrible!" Victoria said scared out of her wits. We were almost there, but what caught my eye was the girl laying in a pool of dark red blood. I hit the breaks and fled out the car. I reached the girl on the dirt road and dropped to me knees. The girl had light brown hair, her eyes closed and her breathing slow and shallow. She coughed a few times and blood splattered all over my already bloody dress.

"Charlotte?" I asked. In return she gave a whimper. I stood her up on the road and managed to take her half way to the car when she fell to her knees. I carried her in my arms and put her in the back seat next to Victorian. "Charlotte, Victorian. Victorian, Charlotte. Help me make her bleading stop." I told him. He looked at the little girl I had set beside him and poked her with his pointer finger. I tore off a piece of the, what used to be pink, dress and wiped the blood away from her mauled leg.

" Charlotte, who did this? Tell me who did it. Where's a healer when a healer needs to be healed?" I sobbed. I knew the end was coming for my sweet sister. I needed to find someone who would understand this. Someone who wouldn't ask questions about it. Miss P could help me. "I have an idea, but I have to get to Wales." Victoria's eyes grew wide. "That's across the country! We can't make it, she's too ill. She'll die before we get there." I shook my head in disbelief and got in the driver's seat. The car had been on during the whole incident. "Talk to her, make her talk." I shouted over to the back seat which consisted now of Victoria, Victorian, and Charlotte. "Um.. well your sister has been searching for you since you wandered off. She has gotten hurt and ran over a lot of people and animals to get to you. You have to live." Victoria told my sister. "It... it bit me once you left the station. Lori it hurts! I couldn't see it and the next thing I knew, I was being killed by it. And then, as a flicker, I saw it. It was all gray and ugly. But it seemed invisible. It almost bit my leg off." I was worried about my sister but at the least she was alive.

I drove faster and faster, on occasion looking over my shoulder to see the brother and sister taking care of her. They had kept their word on helping me and I was really grateful for their help. They asked my sister all sorts of questions. Their awnsers varying and the awnser getting shorter and shorter as the two of them took care of her. I sobbed and sighed a few times, worried deeply about my sister. My sister kept coughing and whimlering, and I saw her skin turn almkst paper white. I was worried about her tears escaped my eyes and I ran over a pedestrian.

On account of taking the person I hit, I was driving pretty good. But I for sure couldn't be blamed for that. In my deffense, who goes out into the night well past after midnight? Since I didn't know how to get to Wales without a map, I followed the train tracks. I was determined on keeping my sister alive. She had managed to heal me once, and I wanted to return the favor. The siblings asked many questions and I started to pay attention to them.

"What is the capital of California?"

"Sacramento."

"Your favorite color?"

"Pink."

"How about what's your least favorite animal?"

"Thats a little tough, I love all animals but the one I think is icky and gross is the rats or mice if you will."

" And what's your favorite song?"

"Simple. The ones Lori sings to me."

After that question silence filled the car until my sister begged for me to sing to her. At first I declined but then I remembered that this might be her last wish, her death wish. I sighed and asked her which one she wanted me to sing and I could see her smile. "My favorite one. I remember you told me you learned it in school." That song. I sighed and gulped. I cleared my throat and began to sing.

"I was scared of dentists and the dark
I was scared of pretty girls and starting conversations
Oh, all my friends are turning green
You're the magician's assistant in their dream

Oh, oh, and they come unstuck

Lady, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left hand man
I love you when you're singing that song and
I got a lump in my throat 'cause
You're gonna sing the words wrong

There's this movie that I think you'll like
This guy decides to quit his job and heads to New York City
This cowboy's running from himself
And she's been living on the highest shelf

Oh, oh, and they come unstuck

I just wanna, I just wanna know
If you're gonna, if you're gonna stay
I just gotta, I just gotta know
I can't have it, I can't have it any other way
I swear she's destined for the screen
Closest thing to Michelle Pfeiffer that you've ever seen, oh

Oh Lady, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left hand man
I love you when you're singing that song and
I got a lump in my throat 'cause
You're gonna sing the words wrong

Oh lady, running down to the riptide
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left hand man
I love you when you're singing that song and
I got a lump in my throat 'cause
You're gonna sing the words wrong
And I got a lump in my throat 'cause
You're gonna sing the words wrong"

As I sang the last note, I saw my sister smile. I smiled as well, she was a strong girl that was for sure. "Can you sing another one, Please Lori?" She asked me. This time, I didn't say no. I didn't have the heart to say that to her. I nodded and prepared for one of my favorites.

Dry lightning cracks across the skies
Those storm clouds gather in her eyes
Her daddy was a mean old mister
Mama was an angel in the ground
The weather man called for a twister
She prayed blow it down

There's not enough rain in Oklahoma
To wash the sins out of that house
There's not enough wind in Oklahoma
To rip the nails out of the past

Shatter every window 'til it's all blown away,
Every brick, every board, every slamming door blown away
'Til there's nothing left standing, nothing left of yesterday
Every tear-soaked whiskey memory blown away,
Blown away

She heard those sirens screaming out
Her daddy laid there passed out on the couch
She locked herself in the cellar
Listened to the screaming of the wind
Some people call it taking shelter
She called it sweet revenge

There's not enough rain in Oklahoma
To wash the sins out of that house
There's not enough wind in Oklahoma
To rip the nails out of the past

Shatter every window 'til it's all blown away (blown away)
Every brick, every board, every slamming door blown away (blown away)
'Til there's nothing left standing, nothing left of yesterday (blown away)
Every tear-soaked whiskey memory blown away,

Blown away, blown away, blown away, blown away, blown away

"Oh Lori please sing another song. I love it when you do." I sighed and Victoria spoke. "Yes please do. Just one more." The girl sounded eager. "I wouldn't mind another." Victorian said. I sighed amd said," Fine but this is the last one." They nodded and I once again sang for the lot of them.

" Robert's got a quick hand

He'll look around the room
He won't tell you his plan
He's got a rolled cigarette
Hanging out his mouth
He's a cowboy kid

Yeah he found a six-shooter gun
In his dad's closet, in the box of fun things
I don't even know what
But he's coming for you, yeah he's coming for you

All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You better run, better run, outrun my gun
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You better run, better run, faster than my bullet

All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You better run, better run, outrun my gun
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks

You better run, better run, faster than my bullet

Daddy works a long day
He be coming home late, and he's coming home late
And he's bringing me a surprise
'Cause dinner's in the kitchen and it's packed in ice

I've waited for a long time
Yeah the sleight of my hand is now a quick-pull trigger
I reason with my cigarette
Then say, "Your hair's on fire, you must've lost your wits, yeah?"

All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You better run, better run, outrun my gun
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You better run, better run, faster than my bullet

All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You better run, better run, outrun my gun
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You better run, better run, faster than my bullet
Run, run, run, run, ru-ru-ru-run, run, run
Ru-ru-ru-run, run, run, run
Ru-ru-ru-run, run, run, run, run, run"

The backseat of the car was silent until Victoria let out a yelp. It had been a few hours since we had found Charlotte and as far as I knew she was doing a little better. "What happened!" I screeched. "Her blood is turning darker. We have nothing to clean it up with! Her breathing is getting slow." Victorian resonded. I was scared for my sister. What if she died. I didn't want it to end this way. I was worried about her. I was crying hard now, the tears streaming down my hot face.

I guess I wasn't looking where I was going. It still seemed an accident. Who knew, really, that a blink of an eye can kill a whole village, a town, or a city. Who knew, dangers lurked and striked in the blink of an eyes. Who knew death could hurt so much? Who knew I had just bought my sister a quicker way to death?
