Skip to part in bus...

"so now what?" i asked.
"We have to get outta here." said gary.
i looked at kelly, she shurgged
--------------------------------------------------------
i know pathetic

here's more...

I rested my head on the seat, my eyes drowsy.
"Kelly?" I said.
"Hm." she replied.
"I'm not done talking to you bout Raven." I said sternly.

-KELLY-

"I'm done talking to you about Raven," Julie said sternly.

"Why not? Driver, whoever you are I can't see, go to the airport or train station or whatever's the fastest thing to New York."

"What?" Gary asked, turning.

"I mean, I just read a book and I think there's a guy in New York who might know something about the shadows. Now go!"

We sped off, I didn't know where to exactly.

"Kelly, tell me what's wrong," Julie said in that place between stern and angry. I didn't think I wanted to go to angry.

"Raven is just not acting like a friend anymore. She's being distant even for her, and that's saying something. The last thing she said to me was that she'd realized something terrible, and she didn't want even me, her best friend, around her. Do you know what that feels like? To be shunned by one of the few people you've told your secrets to, that you've given up almost everything for? It hurts, Julie. Like nothing else in the entire world, it hurts."

There was silence.


-RAVEN-

I was yawning as I crawled into the bus, but I was sson awakened. I was in the seat behind Kelly and Julie.

She didn't know I was there.

I heard every word she said.

I felt my heart sink to my toes and I rested my head against the window, sighing. I had to do this, I couldn't let people be near, or close, to me. I just couldn't. But I was beginning to believe that it would be easier to just put their lives at stake and have friends, then keep them safe and be a hermit.

Half of me wanted to die.

The other half wanted to protect everyone, which I knew was hard/impossible.

And there was a little bit extra, aside from the outside me, that wanted to be with Spencer and Kelly and anyone who wanted to tag along, and just run. Away. And be safe.

I sighed again.

I felt alone. Even with everyone surrounding me on the bus, it was as if only one person knew a little and that was Raven. I'm not sure what was going on but, Kelly was thinking about Raven.

I forced myself out of people's heads just wanting to hear my own. I curled up into the fetal position and leaned against the window.

I played songs in my head absentmindedly, making it overpower the other thoughts of people.

A sigh escaped my lips as I thought about what I wanted to do with the rest of my life.

"I do." I said after a long time.
"You really wanna know why I hate Ballow so much?" I said.
"Why?"
"About a week before the shadow's took...my parents. My dad lost a bet, he had a bit of a gambling problem. Anyways, we were rich before that. Millionares. But then when he lost his money...we lost almost everything except for our house. At first my relatives were fighting over me. Who would keep me. I felt so happy and wanted, Kelly. My cousions, they were always so nice to me. I always did everything I could for them, buying presents for them whenever possible. Then one day, I realized they didn't want me. They wanted my money. It was horrible. Then when they found out that we were broke, well I got past around, till none of my relatives wanted me. So I lived with my other option..Emilie. She's a great friend, and her family is my own. They are now my mother and father. But...it still hurts to know how greedy people can be. How I do so much for them...and they don't care about me. Now...I hate richness. If I wasn't rich...unleast I wouldn't have been used. I guess I sort of envy Ballow. He lost his parents, but unleast he's not used like me, he's independent. I'm not." I said my voice getting softer and softer.
------------------------------------------

That's why she sorta hates Ballow. (:

sorry i'm EXTREMLEY observant.

No we are not brother and sister. And you could have at least (the word(well words) is at least not unleast. ) put all that in one post. The page has a number of posts that can be on it, no matter the length they have.

* it doesn't matter if you remove the words, the post spot will stay and still take the room*

"Ballow independent. Good one." I said from my seat behind Kelly and Julie.

"What do mean," Julie asked.

"I mean Ballow may come off independent and put together. But he can not live with out money. Once for punishment he had to stay with his aunt for two weeks with no money. When I came to get him he was in the fettle position almost crying. When he got home he kissed the floor. of every room, even the gym, which is not cleaned that often. The aunt told us about how he couldn;t stand all the stuff he had to eat or not eat, and sleep with and stuff like that. You are way more together than he is, I think at least."

"So Ballow is-" Julie started.

"yes he s a spoiled prat with no life skills what so ever. if he ever gets cut off hes toast." I told her.

"And you?" she asked.

"I was put in the same place as Ballow was for three weeks. It took me a day to get used to but I can do it. I lived like that for 11 years. I know how to do it."

"Wow." I said.

"Yeah." Said Gary.

"That makes me feel kind of better I guess. Unleast I can survivie." I said.

"Yep." Said Gary.

"Never thought so." I said.

Kelly nodded her head in agreement.

"So...umm...I'm bored. Wait weren't you driving?" I asked Gary.

Gary~~

"No Ballow is. Has been the whole time" I said casually.

"So how long till we get to the airport." Kelly asked.

"Well considering we can;t take the one near us, if the shadows followed us they might be there. We are instead heading to the ports. we have a boat docked there. We can ride that for the night, then get a left to the airport near out home in Hollywood, where we have my Ballow's dad's business jet. We can use that sense my sister took it and Ballow's dad is on vacation right now." I explained.

"So how long to the port." Kelly asked.

"about another ten minutes."

-JOSEPH-

I turned in my seat to look out the back window. The house was ablaze and shadows slowly seeping into it.

"Hey, Gary, how'd you know this would happen?"

Gary~~

"That's an easy one. I have Precognition dreaming." I told him but a got a blank stare at a word. "It means I can dream the future. But it also tells me that other things, where to go, what to do, knowledge in general. This power actually got me here, I first found this power when I was being attacked. I saw Kelly and went to find her. Now i have been having future dreams. Oh and I also control earth, and water though so far I can only just walk on water. Not the most useful power." I explained.

:Then get to sleep." Joesph said.

"Why?" I asked.

"because we need to know whats up a head. You can tell us."

"Fine, I'll sleep on the boat." I said.

We arrived at the port then and suddenly the doors opened and all the stuff in the car disappeared. BAllow appeared on the boat. We followed and stockpiled on to the cruise ship sized boat. Everyone got a room of there choice of the 200. I took one next to Julie's, Kelly's and Joesph's rooms. They wanted me to tell them the dream as soon as I could.

And one came. I wrote it down and assembled the others to tell them it.

--------------

Okay anyone can make the dream up. I don;t want to control the whole thing right now.

...I'm not very creative...well sometimes...but not right now.
Someone else choose...I don't wanna come up with something lame. :p
