This chapter won't be too long because we have to rush. But enjoy!
"Only my sunglasses." I said looking at them like they were crazy.
"Can I see those for a second?" The man called Pete asked. "No... they kinda belong to me, plus, I've had many things confiscated from me. You won't give them back." I responded with a somewhat suspicious tone.
"Trust me, we will give them back." Pete said. After I handed them over, the suspicious look on my face quickly turned into one of complete horror. Artie, the fat frizzy haired man, dropped them into a small bucket of purple goo.
"What the heck are you doing?!" I exclaimed. Artie and Pete quickly looked away. I rose my eyebrows.
"So... either you guys are jumpy, weird, (which I think you might be) or something was supposed to happen." I stated sarcastically. Artie rolled his eyes. After trying/dumping my most valued possessions into that same vat of goo I was asked to come with them.
"I don't think my aunt and uncle would want you to take me away." I said.
"Well, do you want us to talk to them?" Artie said in a very neutral tone.
"They don't care about me, they care about the money that my parents gave to me. How long will I be with you guys anyway?" I told them.
"Just about forever." Now, I don't remember how Artie said that because I was concentrated on the word 'forever'. It just repeated over and over in my head. It was kind of a scary word. So what happened after that was pretty much just us sneaking into my aunt and uncle's house, stopping by a bank where Artie and Pete 'borrowed' some money from a stranger's bank account. So in other words, just a regular day. Note my sarcasm. The plane ride was 3 straight hours. Because of how the plane was set up, we could all sit next to each other... with me in the middle. The seats went 2 on either side, and 3 down the middle. I was right between to snoring, sleeping men. And yes, I could easily consider them both old. When we got off the plane I looked around.
"Where are we? Cause it looks like the middle of nowhere." I asked critically. "South Dakota." stated Pete as a smirk played across his face at my look of, you named it, complete horror. After an hour and a half drive, I was starving, grumpy, tired, and extraordinarily angry.
"Would you like help with your luggage?" Pete asked politely.
"No." I snarled. Pete took a step back. Pete walked up ahead of me and opened the door for me. I didn't say anything to him. A pretty African-American lady appeared.
"Is this the first or the second of the girls?" She asked Artie. "Second." He replied simply. I cocked an eyebrow. Did that mean that there was another person like me?! I wondered. Another person like me... couldn't that be just a little dangerous? Everybody headed toward the door.
"Well, are you coming?" Leena asked me.
"Do I have to get back in the car?" I asked.
"Not you unless you feel like walking 8 miles. And if you start now, you should get there in about 8 hours if you don't stop at all. I sighed and trudged toward the car.
Ally's POV
So after speed shopping thru a smile a small little shopping centre, Claudia speed drove us toward the airport, once I had my bags, we speed walked to Gate 5. Beginning to see a pattern? On the bright side, at least I can run fast. 8 hour plane ride... Yay! (When you read this, add sarcasm in that Yay!) 4 hours through, I swear to you, if could've, I would have jumped clear off the plane, straight into the water... hmmmm...maybe not such a good idea. 6 hours though, I was actually thinking about taking the latter plan into action. 8 hours, I wanted to punch the stupid pilot in the face for taking so long to get us there. So once we landed, I decided that I had 2 options: take my anger out on everyone, or I could clamp up and when I got some privacy I could take my anger out on a wall or something. I decided on the second one. We got in the car, a different one from before, and drove to wherever we were going. About an hour later, this humungaliod building came into view. Claudia turned off the car. I slowly got out. Myka and Claudia were already half way to the building. As I approached, I saw the door. (A/N HAPPY NEW YEAR!) The door slowly opened and I followed them inside. There was this girl there. She was shorter than me (but I'm quite tall) with mid-back length oak brown hair. She had a pair of jean shorts on and a tank top. I walked up to her and she pushed down her sunglasses and looked me straight in the eye. She had green eyes with gold rings that looked like fire. As she pushed down her sunglasses, I rolled up my sleeve to shake hands. She was also an artifact.
Iris's POV
A tall, dark skinned girl walked into the Warehouse. Her hair was dark brown and was in almost Shirley-Temple-like curls. Her eyes were dark brown. She was wearing a gray leather jacket, dark blue jeans, and gray leather boots. She walked up to me and rolled up her sleeve as I pushed down my sunglasses and looked her in the eye. I also shook the hand she held out. She must be that other girl, she must be an artifact. After we shook hands, everyone just left to do whatever. Except Artie.
No One's POV
Iris and Ally followed Artie outside his office.
"Oh my God." Said Iris.
"You took the words straight out of my mouth." Ally said breathlessly.
"Well I've got work to do so you two entertain yourselves, just don't touch anything." Artie said. The second he left, Iris said:
"Are you coming or not?"
"Coming where?"
"Well duh! Anywhere but here! Come on, let's go!"
"We might have just a little bit of trouble doing that." Ally said anxiously pointing at Mrs. Fredrick.
Cliff Hanger! This is not a very long chapter but we had to do it quickly. Don't forget to review.
