Chapter 9

Akiza

We woke up the next morning in a pit of sadness. I listened to the girls pleads, and Hannah and I consented to saying a few words about Vickie. Afterwards, me and the girls headed West. I was just strolling along, when I suddenly felt an enormous pull. It came from the park. Suddenly, I knew he was there and that it would hurt so bad for me to just ignore it. But I just couldn’t see him again, it would hurt so much more than seeing him again.                       Suddenly I just couldn’t take it. I ran away from the group, as fast as I could. The wind slapped my hair against my face and made my eyes water and sting.             When I opened my eyes again I was back on Main Street in one of our old hideouts. Suddenly, I heard a creak, and then another. I stood up and hit a fighting stance prepared to face who or whatever it was. A big, burly man stepped out of the shadows along with 4 others surrounding me. They were dirty and their clothes looked tattered.               Then I heard a BOOM!!! And I knew it was my girls.  I didn’t even have to turn around to know it was them that made the guys pause. I took advantage of their balk, and tackled a particularly weak looking one. Leah rushed over and used her hammer to knock him out, I threw a look around and saw that Isabelle, Lindsay, Lilly, and Lauren had ganged up on a slightly bigger guy.  I saw Alexa throwing a roundhouse kick at another guy and winced when Regan hit him with her pole. Julia, Erin, Zoey, and Amira, Were fighting a couple of scrawny kids who seemed to be the big guys underlings. Catherine and Leanne jumped to Laurens rescue as a guy from behind came at her. Hannah started towards the obvious leader who had been cowering in fear this whole time. As the rest of us finished off our victims we joined her walking up to him. I read Hannah’s lips as she talked to the guy in what I’m sure was a calm, terrifying voice. “You should learn not to pick on girls”. Then Regan knocked him with her pole and he went down.                  Then we ran out of the house and I collapsed against Julia, sobbing. All the girls came around me, comforting me and crying just as hard. I fell asleep right there and then, leaning against my girlfriends curled in a fetal position. For the first time in months, I fell asleep quickly almost instantly and had barely any dreams at all. The ones I had were good, about Vickie.
