Third Person POV
It had started out as what was an ordinary day. The runners raced around the island stealing food and other things. as they ran they sang, to most people it was voices coming from nowhere. Shadow ran over the rooftops singing
They say I'm trouble
They say I'm bad
I'm causing mischief
And that makes me glad
Jaz then took up the song, racing through the market grabbing whatever she could and dashing off before they saw who she was
A dirty no-good
Down to the bone
Your worst nightmare
Can't take me home
Charlotte ran through the shadows towards hell hall singing softly as she saw her brother
So I've got some mischief
In my blood
Can you blame me?
I never got no love
Jaz heard Charlotte and Shadow as thier voices joined in harmony
We ran from home
it was all we could
We feel so useless
Misunderstood
Jaz ran down a road to meet up with Charlotte
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Who's the wildest of them all?
Welcome to our wild world, wild world
Jaz and Charlotte met up with Hector and SHadow who had taken the roof top way
We're wild to the core, core
Wild to the core
We're wild to the core, core
Who could ask for more?
We're nothing like the kids next—like the kids next door
We're wild to the (core), We're wild to the (core)
We're wild to the core.
they split up then going their separate ways through the market place Shadow starting off again
Call me a weirdo
Call me a freak
How can you say that?
I'm just... unique!
Jaz raced through the market trying to beat Charlotte to the other side narrowly avoiding a group of pirates
What, me? A traitor?
Ain't got your back?
Are we not pirates?
What's up with that?
she jumped on a beam in time to see Charlotte send a tidal wave of spray paint cans through the market
So I'm chaos
So what I ran?
I hurt your head?
I made you mad?
Jaz grinned and the girls high fived meeting up with the boys and running back to their home
The past is past
Forgive, forget
The truth is...
You ain't seen nothing yet!
Charlotte and Jaz sung really loudly as the four went poast hell hall
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Who's the wildest of them all?
Welcome to our wild world, wild world
all four sang at the top of our voices as they neared home
We're wild to the core, core
Wild to the core
We're wild to the core, core
Who could ask for more?
We're nothing like the kid next—like the kid next door
We're wild to the (core), We're wild to the (core)
We're wild to the core.
they all laughed as they raced into the warehouse "did you see the look on their faces when we ran past?" Shadow asked "I know right?" Charlotte laughed "four supposedly dead kids raiding the stores! so funny!" All four laughed
Unknown to the four someone had followed them back. the person look around memorising the location before returning to their leader.
Charlotte clambered under some pieces of machinery, moving them about to make another escape route. "remind me why you are doing this again" Shadow complained "you can never have too many escape routes Shadow. you'll thank me for this one day" "not likely" Charlotte just sighed as she climbed back out "whatever" she told him climbing up a concrete block. She worked quickly creating various ways up before climbing up a ladder hanging down over the center of the block. At the top of the ladder was a skylight.
She opened the skylight and climbed onto the roof, closing it behind herself. Charlotte ran across the roof before dropping down through another skylight. "Charlotte!" Jaz exclaimed "don't do that!" Charlotte grinned, she had dropped into the side room that served as Jaz's bedroom. "why?" she asked "did I scare you?" She grinned "go away Charlotte. I'm trying to finish my smoke bomb" Charlotte looked at the small egg shaped thing in Jaz's hands
"what does it do?" "when you throw it lots of smoke comes out allowing us to run" "oh" Charlotte moved to the trapdoor in the corner. "does your escape slide still work?" she asked gesturing to the opening in the wall where an air vent once was. "yes thanks" "okay" Charlotte opened the trapdoor and disappeared down it.
She dropped down into what was once a workshop, the room now help supplies like food and drink and cloths as well as spare parts and bits and bobs for making things. Charlotte opened a door and stepped outside. She froze, there was someone outside the den, no-one should be here! Charlotte ran inside as fast as she could crashing into Hector "ADULTS!" she shouted. Hector jumped before racing off. Charlotte ran to find Jaz, she burst into her room "ADULTS!" Jaz jumped up "where?" "outside!" Jaz nodded and climbed up onto the roof with Charlotte right behind her "How did they find us Charlie?" "I don't know" the pair dropped through another skylight and ran through the escape route Charlotte had built that morning. The boys were waiting at the other end.
"why are they here?" Hector asked "I don't know. they've never been bothered before" Charlotte sighed "wait wasn't their something about a group of kids leaving for Auradon today?" Jaz asked "I think your right Jaz and wasn't one of them Carlos?" Charlotte looked up "yes that's right. Mal, Evie, Jay and Carlos left for Auradon prep today" she paused "but why go after us? And why now?" "we don't know Charlie and I suspect we never will." Jaz told her, as the adults rounded the corner "gotcha" Jaz screamed as a pirate grabbed her arm. Th next thing the four knew they were surrounded. Charlotte sighed climbing back up a piece of machinery.
"you are seriously doing this now?" she asked pulling out a slingshot. Charlotte laughed as Shadow kicked some rocks up. She grabbed them and started firing. The first one hit the pirate holding Jaz between the eyes. Rocks number two and three were fired at the pirate holding shadow and rock number five hit the one holding Hector in the foot. The other three joined Charlotte and all four fired rocks at the pirates until they left. "well that was wierd" Charlotte concluded, heading back into the den. "you're right there" Jaz laughed as they all went in.
Authors Note
I know this isn't much good I just wanted to highlight the bonds between the runners and show that the group stick together no matter what. Another thing to note is I will occasionally be sticking in things like this, chapters that foucus on the past of the four not the present. It's just to make some things in the story a bit clearer.
