The Hunted

I didn’t know who I was. I woke up next to a bunch of muddy kids. They all smelled like they haven't showered in weeks. There was two twins, a chubby kid, and probably the skinniest kid I’ve ever seen. Then I realized I smelled just like them. The chubby one woke up startled just as I had. He was confused.

“ Ya right, even if he is out there looking for us they would catch him.” says Ethan with a smirk.
“ Let’s just get down from here. I think there gone.” I say trying to sound as tough as I could.
We walk down a narrow path that goes on for miles. There was a sign it read Mulberry 15 miles. A large smile spreads across our faces as we run as fast as we could passing signs that said Mulberry 10 miles, Mulberry 5 miles. We come to a stop. There it was our city. We all had so many questions and we needed so many answers. We all run into the city laughing that we had made it, but something was wrong. No one was in the city. We walk through but see no one.

    When her grandfather appeared before her, he appeared the same as he always had; he was sitting cross-legged by the fire, chanting songs of days long past, and every now and then, he’d sprinkle a mixture of powders into the fire.

    It gets to be too much for Lance around the same time Keith is pretty much considering throwing himself out of an airlock. He's sitting in the control room, totally alone, at the Altean equivalent of four in morning when Lance finds him. He'd been tracing constellations absent-mindedly into the crystalline tiles beneath his fingertips, all eighty-eight of them, and he's just about to connect the last star of the Pleiades sleepily with grazed, stained-glass knuckles when the screech echoes through his ribs, louder than crowsong, heavier than a raven's call. "Keith!"…

    I crawled through the open window of Harley’s apartment on the fifth floor. I suspected that he wasn't home, with all the lights turned off. Although, there was a faint sound of music playing from his iPod hidden under the pillow of his desk chair, with the cord sticking out.

It was normal for me to enter through the window everyday after I ate dinner, he was usually sitting on his bed by then.…

If there is this dark star—or whatever it is because at this stage we don't know—coming in, then the evidence points to its current location at the feet of Virgo.” Karl paused to check his supervisor's reaction. “That's where we would see it if we could.
