CHAPTER 15:

Chazz stared at him bug eyed, and Brittany had her mouth open in disbelief.
"How did you do that?!" I yelled.I wonder if we can do it too.
"I was just thinking how great it'd be if I were a real tiger and bam! I'm a tiger!" He said excitedly.
I started thinking about my favorite big cat. Cheetah. Cheetah. Fast as light. Free as the wind. Cheetah. Cheetah.
Then I realized my eyes were closed.I looked at my hands. Nothing. Then I saw the kittens trying it too. Nothing for them either.
"Maybe I'm the only one with it. Sorry. Hey! Maybe you guys will get an even better power, like flying. Or breathing under water!" Tiger tried to cheer the kittens up.
"Guys! Rick is expecting us! He's kind enough to wait for us in the cold! Let's go!" I hurried them. It's not really that I care much about Rick, it's just the kittens are going to catch a cold. Crap! I sound like a mom! Good thing Rick is takeing care of us for a while.
We walked for a few more minutes, and Tiger found out how to change back. Soon I could see houses, but no one was out.
"Maybe he got cold." Brittany said. A strong wind chilled me to the bone.
Maybe since I'm tall I could pass as a 16 year old, and get a job. Then I could buy a decent jacket for Britt. And some pants for everyone. If a miracle happens and we actually have spare money I could buy a book. Man that'd ROCK!
"Muse, look ahead. It's a dead end. We should walk back to Scott's house. If we see Rick then we'll go in." Tiger said without looking at me. "Are you cold? I have an extra jacket." Tiger offered.
"No." I lied. I'll get warm once I'm in either Rick or Scott's house. I forced myself not to shiver as another wind blew.
Tiger took his backpack off, took his hoodie off, and gave it to me. Then ha put the other one from his backpack on.
"Thanks." I mumbled as I put it on. I hate it when he can tell if I'm lieing.
"Your welcome." Tiger said. I'm not sure, but for a split second it looked like he was smiling. He knows I hate asking for help, but I don't think he was trying to make me mad.
Does he like me? As in like me like me? He didn't mind the boyfriend idea, but he's like a brother. Once again. Awkward.

CHAPTER 14:

Once Scott was out we knew we could come in. He had cooked us a feast. We each had five strips of bacon, three pancakes, seven eggs and four glasses of orange jucie. Once we were done Scott called his friend, Rick. Rick really didn't seem to want us there, but it was shelter. I don't care if we have to do all the house work, as long as we have enough food and rest I'm o.k.
Once we finished cleaning up breakfast for Scott [since it was the least we could do] we got our stuff out of the shed and waited for Rick's address.
"It's about a mile down Cedar Road. Can you guys make it there ? Rick will be waiting outside for you." Scott told us as we headed out. So we walked and walked and walked. About ten minutes later we saw Cedar Road.
"Hmmmmmm... more woodsy stuff. I wonder if there's any deer." Tiger said. Suddenly he got a new power. He turned into a real tiger!
"Wayyyyyyyy cool" he growled.

CHAPTER 13:

"What the heck did you do that for?! You killed my uncle!" cried Courtney. Apparently she had no idea what was going on.
"Your uncle almost killed your dad. I just saved your life!" I yelled.
"Do you even know my dad or me?!" Courtney screamed. It is really getting loud.
"Your name is Courtney. Scott is your dad's name. He is blind." I said calmly. I hpoe she believed me.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!You killed my dad and uncle and now you're after me! AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! Someone! Help!Help!" she yelled. Lights started comeing on. I took off. Maybe if I take Scott to her. She'll believe me then!
As I came into the woods I listened for Tiger, Scott, and the kittens.Soon I could hear Chazz talking to Scott.
"So. When do you think Muse is getting back?" he asked Scott.
"Who? You mean the older girl?She never told me her name. Muse, like the goddess of the arts in atient Greek mythology?" Scott asked Chazz.
"Huh? What are you talking about?" Britt piped in.
"Hey guys! Is Scott okay? Hey Scott, can you do us a favor? We kinda have to go. Oh yeah, and I kinda scarred Courtney." I told Scott all about how I saved his daughter and she's okay. But she may have called the cops.
"I don't think she did. My phone is in brial so she'd have a hard time finding the numbers. She'll scream and shout if she ses you, Muse. So I don't really think staying in my house is a good idea. I'll see what I can do with the shed. Courtney used it as a clubhouse in summer a few years back. She'd sleep there with the door locked. Sometimes I couldn't wake her up. She is a heavy sleeper. If you guys can sleep there for tonight I'll see if Rick will let you stay at his house." Scott Told us as we walked to his house. Sleep. That sounds good right now. I thought as we climbed into the small cabin like shed.
"This reminds me of our old house. 'Sept it's smaller." Chazz whispered. Before I knew it I was asleep.



DO NOT DISTURB THE SLEEPING MUTANTS!!!!!!!

CHAPTER 12:

Suddenly we heard a sound that woke the kittens, "Help! I've been shot! Anyone there?Help!" It was the guy who got shot!
"We've godda help 'em, Tiger!" Brittany screeched. We shot out of the truck and rushed to the man's side.
"Hello? Is anybody there? I can hear you!" Said the man.He seemed about thirty.
"We're here. Are you allright? How many fingers do you see?" Chazz asked. Sometimes I worry about him.
"None. I'm blind! Please help. I need to get to my house! He's going to kill my daughter! He thinks I'm dead and now he's going to kill Courtney!"
"How far is it?" Tiger asked urgently. "I'll run ahead and stop him!"
"She's going to be okay! I visioned it!"Britt shouted ungramatically.Shoot! I hope he didn't hear that!
"Well then let's go! What's your address?!" I shouted.
"South locust ave. 410." the man said." My name is Scott."
"It's not far from here! Tiger, stay here and take care of Scott! I've got this!" I souuted, allready on my way. My heart pounded, my lungs were thirsty for air, but I had to help Scott. I haven't known him for five minutes, but I just had to help him. My numb feet pounded aganst the road. [ I'm still wearing my shoes, duh! ] Tears ran down my cheeks from the cold air blowing my eyes. Finally the house came into view! A black car pulled up in the driveway! "Oh no!" I mumbled.
A man in sunglasses and a leather jacket came out of the car. He had a gun. I made a final push to get there, knocked the man down, and started punching his face. " Take. That. You. Crazy. Killer." I screamed between punches. His nose beld and he was missing teeth. Then, a girl about my age burst out the door.
"Oh my... what the heck's happening!" She screamed. It must have been Courtney. I stopped and reached for the gun.
" Go now or I'll shoot!" I screamed as I pointed the gun at his head. He ran off screaming. This man almost killed one Scott and was about to kill Courtney. I took my best aim. He deserved what he got.

"Should we go after the guy who killed him, or when he leaves see if he really is dead?Maybe we can help him!" Brittany whispered. She really wanted to help this guy, but we don't know if he was good and the guy who killed him is bad or the other way around.
"I really, really, really, really don't wanna go out there." Tiger mumbled. His voice just barely came out. It was trapped in his throat from fear.I know he's not going to sleep.
"You two try to sleep. Things will be better in the morning. We'll be running free. As far away from the sharpers as physically possible. Just think of it as camping!" I encouraged them. It probably diddn't work, but they slept anyway.
Once I was sure they were asleep I asked Tiger "Are you allright?" Silence. "Do you wanna sleep and I watch?"
"Nah. I'll have nightmares. Do you wanna do something? I just want to get the guy off of my mind."
"Let's cover the windows with some of your black shirts. That'd keep the cold out better. What kind of look do you want when we get some money?" I asked.
"Don't laugh, but I'm thinking goth."
"Nah. They'd expect that from you. Hmmmmmm. But not me. I guess we could pretend to be boyfriend and girlfriend."
"But what about the kittens?" He asked. My plan to get his mind on something else was working!
"I'll think about that." I said. "Never mind the boyfriend girlfriend thing. It was stupid."
"I'm allright with it. Ummmm... we could be babysitting!" He said happily. I think he liked the boyfriend girlfriend idea. Um awkward.

CHAPTER 10:

"Chazz, Brittany, I'm sorry. But Tiger and I think the sharpers may have found us. We need to leave asap."I whispered.
"Stop jokeing around, muse. Let me sleep!" Chazz yelled.
"SHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I'm serious!Let's go! We can stay here and get killed, or run like heck. Wadda you wanna do?!"
"Fine. But while were running like heck, can we take a break eat?"
"Once I think we're safe. OK? Now let's GO!"
"Wait muse! Won't they just follow our tracks?" Tiger asked.
"I guess we'll have to tree hop."
Just then, we heard a gunshot. Really colse to us. Then a thud. Tiger, the bravest looked out the back to find the most horrofying thing [ other than a sharper with a gun ] He ducked down and almost hurled.
"A dude just got murdered." He whispered.
