CHAPTER 1
[spelling errors might have been missed. and some wrong forms of the words might be put where they make no sense.... just sound it out? sorry.]
The idea of money has always excited me. You can rule the world if you have enough! You can buy happiness with money, I have. But when you buy it, you can run out of the source of happiness. Then you have to get it back. Any way you can.
I learned that the way I learned to live. By taking what I need, or what I want. Both me and danika we brought up that way, so maybe that's why we are the way we are. For as long as I can remember I have been able to get what I want, and lately we have been doing that by robbing banks, or hacking into them, and transferring millions of dollars to our account. But you see we have an account in a off shore bank, where no one can get our information. That way we are safe! But lately we have been slipping up. About a week ago, we thought we were safe, after robbing on of the biggest banks in our part of the world... but the thing was, we weren't. Two young boys saw us take off our masks, and described us to a sketch artist... now we are two wanted criminals. And that would explain the reason of me sleeping in an abandoned house's basement...
We went to bed about three hours ago, around midnight. It was way early for us to sleep, but we had to because we had to catch a plain to somewhere out of the country, and that was an early flight.
I started to stir because I though I hear foot steps upstairs, and then remembered that we were in an abandoned house, and no one would be up there, so rolled over. I was almost back to sleep when I heard it again, so I woke up danika.
"What do you want...?" she asked still groggy. I looked her up and down, her in that tee shirt, and her normally straight hair a mess, she looked pitiful. Not to mention her eyeliner was all over her eyes...
"I heard something..." I explained to her, and that woke her up right away. We both stayed quiet, and sat there...
Right up until our worst fears we proven to be coming true. Upstairs we could hear about four people, and our guess was the people making the sounds were police.
"s**t they found us!" danika exclaimed, jumping out of her make-shift bed, and pulling on a pair of pants. I had nothing to say, so I just shoved my clothes back into my backpack, and started to open the window.
"Lets get out of here, the faster you get dressed the faster you can get out...." I was halfway out the window when she shoved me out completely, and I fell about a foot to the ground, and got up. Right after I took about three steps danika was right behind me, and I took off running.
After about three or four seconds of running, I heard some one yell out a window: "there they are! Outside! Go get them!..."
That only made us run faster, and we took off through people yards, and jumped fences. We ran as fast as we could, as long as we could, and then we slowed to a jog. We both knew we had to find someplace to hide, to call our sanctuary. But where?
"Lets break, and go to the woods!" Danika yelled, and I had to turn my head to hear the words. " that's fine with me..." I replied, and like she said, I made a seventy degree turn to my left, and sprinted as fast as I could.
That's when I noticed a little gap in the house to my right... the looks of it drew me to it right away. "Where are you going?" danika yelled at me as I made a detour towards the odd gap.
When I got there I was breathing hard, and had to walk up to it, and look in. To my surprise it was about a two foot gap, and then it was a ten by twenty foot room. The only light from inside was from a laptop that had been left on. There was a couch, and a table. On the table there was a boy. "What are you doing!?" danika asked from behind me, in a whisper. I didn't answer because I was too fixated on the boy.
He was the most beautiful boy I had ever seen. With his white blonde hair that swooped across his face, and all his piercings. And he was wearing torn up jeans, that were being held together with safety pins, and bad stitching. With a dark green tee shirt that was about two sizes to small since it hugged him nicely; and then just a black and gray/silver motorcycle jacket. And then back to his face, it was flawless, and was beautiful. He has some hair softly hanging in his face, black eyeliner, and the red...eye shadow? Maybe... or maybe more eyeliner. He was laying on the table next to the laptop, and looked so peace full I didn't want to bother him.
"Oh my god!" once again danika spoke up, "do you know who that is?" she grabbed my shoulders, and was talking in an even quieter voice than before. I had no idea who he was, so I just shook my head. "That's Jayce Mitchels! The ax murderer! He was on 'America's most wanted' last night!" her eyes were wide in shock, and I didn't know why. This boy was way to pretty to kill people...
"Well then..... we had best detain him, so he doesn't to any damage to us while we are here.." I said, putting a finger to my mouth, and sliding out of her grip, and towards the table.
As quietly as I could I crept towards the old wooden table, and shifted my weight to see if it would creak. It didn't. As slowly as I could I raised myself onto the table, and pulled out my knife I kept in my pants. When I had positioned myself over him, straddling him, I placed the knife close to his throat, and leaned down to whisper.
"You make any sudden movements, or noises.... well as you can see this knife is sharp, and could slip...." his eyes opened slowly, and looked up at me.
He had this sort of smirk of, and just stared, then glanced over to danika. I guess he didn't find her much of a threat as he shifted his gaze back to me right away. "That knife wont kill me..." he said quietly before some how swapping positions with me.
"What the hell!" danika exclaimed, and jumped in to help me. She punched him in the back of the head, but all that made him do is fall onto me more, and my knife get closer to my neck. With one quick movement he back handed her, and she fell to the ground.
"See im not dead... and I know that I have to be quiet... I was watching tv on my PC.." his voice was enchanting, and smooth... I tried to shove him off, but once again the knife got closer to my throat. "Ah, ah, now this knife is vary sharp, and if it were to slip...." he mimicked..... I could see a glint of glee in his eyes, and it angered me.
"Let me up, I would have only hurt you if you were going to turn us in..." I said in the quietest whisper I could muster up.
"Sure you were... and who says I don't want to have some fun with you?" he raised his eyebrows as though implying something. That bothered me, but what made me even madder was that I could not do anything about it! It was infuriating! "Your not the worst looking.... I think we could have some fun." he smirked, and his eyes sparkled in the light from the computer.
A moment later danika got up and yelled "Hey!", she looked mad. "You cant do anything to her...I haven't even..." she cut off there, and just stared at him. He got a weird smile on his face, and leaned closer to my face.
"what's the matter...? don't like it when I do this confused " with that he licked the side of my face, from the base of my neck up till my eyes... great...
All danika did was glare at him, and opened her mouth as though she was going to say something, but couldn't. Just to agitate her more his had began to creep up to my chest.
"Knock it off." I said really calmly, and just stared up at him.
"But don't you see it? She LIKES you!" he said, half laughing. And yet of course I don't know when people like me, so I didn't know, but why should I believe this criminal?
"Don't be silly..." I started, but I was cut off by a siren from close by. "Damn it!" Jayce swore loudly, and then added, "im going to join your group, if you don't like it.... well deal with it, because you lead them to my hideout." He gave me one more confident smile, and then rolled off the table.
"Come on Luci, we got to get out of here!" danika said grabbing my arm, and pulling me off the table, slightly blushing.
"This way, dolls, I have a back root." Jayce picked up his computer, and put it into a carrying case, and then skipped over to where the couch was, and shoved it with one hand, and surprisingly it slid across the room, to reveal a trap door. Our escape! "After me." he added jumping down, and then yelled back up "come on kitty cats, don't got all day, ill catch you."
"Come on." danika said, jumping over the table, and going to the whole. "Ill go first. Okay?" she asked already lowering herself into the hole, and letting go.
I waited for about five seconds, and then heard a "next?" and too that cue and jumped.
It wasn't too long of a drop, just enough so that if I had done it with out that boy to catch me I would have broken my leg. How convenient.
When he caught me he kissed me on the cheek and set me down. The tunnel we were in looked like a miners, because it was lit, and professionally drilled... Once more, How convenient.
"So where too captain?" I ask, as though I will do what ever he says, like that would ever happen...
"Hmm... I don't know.....im tired." was all he had to say, before sliding down the wall, and getting comfortable on the rock floor. First I just stared in disbelife, because there were police people upstairs, and all he wanted to do was sleep?
Right before we followed his lead, he rolled over, reached into his bag, and hit a button. Over head we heard a scraping, and a bang. Our way in and out just closed to cover our tracks. With that he rolled back over and got comfortable once more. We fallowed suit.
I guess we are just gunna sleep for a little while, and then take off. But what if the police finds us down here? I don't know what we would do. So we all just went to sleep right there on the old, dirty floor, where we slept for almost half a day. Or so my watch said.
I was the first one up, and I stretched. I was disgusted. I could tell my perfectly dyed black hair was needing a washing, and I really just wanted a shower, or a bath... it didn't help that we were traveling with a extremely dreamy boyo... maybe if I venture off I will find some sort of spring so I can get a little bit more clean.
I walked in a direction for about five minutes, before I came to a large lake like body of water! My dreams are coming true!
I got undressed, and got it. The water was kinda cool, but in a good way. Im sure anything would feel better than the dirt I was laying in earlier. I swam around for a minute, and then just floated there, thinking about what we should do in this situation.
We were running away from the police, and we were gunna run low on food soon unless we did something... I wondered if Jayce knew where a store was, or if there even was one down here. I mean, if he knew where it was, who says no one else did.
"Ooooh, that looks inviting." a voice said from a shadowy corner.
"Whos there!?" I asked making sure my body, up till my neck was underwater.
"Aw, why didcha do that? You were making water look fun..." a slippery voice said. I looked towards the direction it was coming from until a figure came strolling out.
It was a young man. He had bright red hair, obviously died. I could not see his eyes very well, but the looked steely. And he was wearing a pair of leather pants, with black boots, and a dark red tank top that had a large collar, that went up to his chin. The shirt had straps going across the chest to keep it closed, and he walked with a confidence not many people had anymore.
"Who are you? And do you mind, im trying to just get clean, ill be done in a minute..." I asked trying to shield my body from his prying eyes.
"Oh, please, take your time.." he said with a slight smirk, and contained "I am Christopher Fantasy. I have lived down here for several years; and you, my dear, are the first girl I have seen in quite some time" he smiled, and tried to look into the water.
"Are you kidding me?" ew some guy just sitting there looking at me, not so much relaxing... "let me get some clothes on, and then you can tell me why you decided to sneak up on me. Alright?" I very slowly swam over to the side of the lake. At this moment im not so much thinking hey, I hope my clothes don't get wet, its more like: god I want my clothes on... first I just grabbed my bra, and underwear, and got them wet, but got them on without him seeing much. After that I climbed out, and got the rest of my clothing on, which was a black long sleeved, tight tee shirt, black swooshie skirt, suspenders, and some jeans... well if you could still call them that, there were patches of leather all over them to hold them together. After that I looked up to discover he watched with a grin on his face the whole time...
"Now what do you want?" I asked attaching my suspenders to my pants, and fixing my skirt.
"Why, you, of course..." he said as though it was obvious, and then added. "And to know how a pretty thing like you got down here. Who are you traveling with? Oh, and who are you? And how old are you?" he walked towards me, and about ten feet away sat down on a rock. I just stood there.
"Well you told me your name...." I guess I should tell him, I was pretty sure it was his place, and I didn't want to be rude. "My name is Lucia, but I just go by Luci. I'm traveling with my friend, and Jayce mitchels. He was not my choice, but hes traveling with me and danika. And I am 17 years of age." I think that was all I needed to tell him for now. I didn't go into much detail, and I didn't want to.
"Why are you down here, lucia?" he smiled at me, like we were good friends
"Luci! And because we needed a place to lay low." that's a true blue answer... even if im not telling the whole story.
"Alright, lucia, I believe you, now lets go find those friends of yours." he said closing his eyes, and getting up. "But when we get near your camping area we are gunna hold hands and see what they say!" he said in a voice that sounded like a little kids.
All I did was look at him and say nothing. If he wanted to hold my hand, he lived here, so he could. But if he wanted me to hold his then no, that would never happen, doesnt matter that he was cute.
"Lets just go..." I turned and walked in the direction I had come from with him walking right next to me.
