Incomplete story

Chapter I

Brick Wall

I pull him back behind the big red brick wall, worrying that at any moment the bell might ring. I push him against the wall seeing his thoughts flash through his head. I shiver at the realization of how much he thinks about me. He really does love me, so I really can do this. “Ok,” I say, but he interrupts me.

“Anna,” he says, “or should I say Allen, Scarlett Allen,” he shakes his head.

“How do you know?” I say.

He starts to respond but the bell begins to ring. I hurry off but he grabs my arm and spins me around. “You lied to me..” He says, and he is, of course, talking about something that hadn't happened yet, he was talking about how I was going to pretend I had no idea. But I was going to teach him our skills so he would have known anyway, why I didn't think this through at all. “And you think everything through”.

I gave him a small smile.

“So how much do you know?” I ask.

“Enough”

“So you knew my plan and didn't try to help me?”

“Your plan was to lie to me, and I was supposed to help you with that”

I sigh realizing how stupid I was. Then I begin to feel, how sad he was. Well, I did lie about us being basically superheroes and soul mates. I bend down on my left knee and put my right elbow on my right knee clenching my fist and putting my forehead to it. He does the same Our fists leave our foreheads and grab each other. Lifting our hands up.

Chapter 2

Explanation

So you might be confused right now and that’s possible. however, if you're not confused that means I lived and I wrote another book and you cheated and read it first or your reading this again because you are bored (which by the way if you are, read the Maximum Ride and Daniel X series by James Patterson ((I loved those books growing up))).

Anyway, I’m getting ahead of myself so if you are any of the listed above, skip to chapter four. So far you have witnessed the moment when my “normal” life ended and the time when our universal symbol was created. I am Scarlett Allen but everybody still thinks I’m just Anna Wettstein, except when I’m flying around then they just assume that I’m like a plane or something. Anyway this is my story and it’s about me and Jacob/Carlo, he is Jacob like I am Anna, we are Yellow Squirrel and Orange Rabbit. Hahahahah…..sorry that’s an inside joke. Between me and Rafiki. But hey you haven't met him yet so here we go.

Chapter 3

Ready Set Purple

Hi I’m Carlo, a.k.a. The Orange Rabbit…..heh heh, sorry. I am red, not my skin, my magic. I am tall, I have chestnut brown hair and green-brown eyes. I have brown wings and…..now Al is taking over because I have no idea what to say.

Sorry Rafiki is being himself. Speaking of which, if you didn't know already Rafiki means friend in Swahili. It is also Vito’s middle name. Vito is a kitten Carlo got me for my birthday when we were younger. Though his middle name is friend he is a lot more like a vicious beast. Rafiki is also Carlos nickname, mine is Al. Now as Rafiki earlier explained he is red. I am blue and every time we touch or get near each other we get swirls of purple. Now Rafiki is telling me to describe myself(the person, not the cat, all the cat is doing right now is biting my finger).

So, as I said before, I am blue. I have curly brown hair with streaks of red and blonde. I am tall and dare I say it, busty. I, as well as Rafiki, am built athletically. I have green-gray eyes with gold flecks that turn bluer when I’m angry. I wear a pale face and dark lips, my entire body is covered in scratches. Together we are purple.

Chapter 4

Welcome back (to those of you who left)

Now if you are not yet ready for aliens to attack you and try to kill you yet, then maybe you should wait a few more days and watch it happen to one of your friends. Just a suggestion.

Now, let me tell you one more story and then I promise we will get started on my story, the real one. So a long long time ago in a far away place, somewhere way past the Milky Way is a planet called Zoul. It is a planet very much like earth but also very different. We are a blue planet all water so as you can assume we have lots of clouds. Well, we need lots of clouds, we live in them. Or we did live in them. We started being sent here because we started having different beliefs. You see out there in the snickers galaxy, there are only three planets, good, evil, and balance. We were the planet of balance where everybody was fifty-fifty, but then a set of twins were born and they were both 100 percenters. One was good, and one was evil. It upset the balance because they began to change the people around them and they both almost destroyed their world. What happened was a war broke out between the two sides and people began to be sent away to save them. We ended up here on planet earth where we became people just like in fact I even lived with a human family, it was all truly great, well except for the fact some of my people were trying to hunt be down and kill me. But the real problem came when they started killing people, sometimes it was to drive us out but usually, it was because they thought they were good people from planet Zoul. Now you would have thought that the bad people would have just moved to the bad planet, Callie, and the good people would just move to the good planet, Tigris, but no instead we decided to bring our problems elsewhere. So what happened next was people began sending their children to the planets and working on a plan to set things right again back on Zoul, and they did find a solution but then they all took their lives. So our new goal is to get back to our home planet and find out what their solution is. Now as I promised we will head back to current time and my story will begin.

Chapter 5

Currently

Back in current time, I am still trying to teach stubborn ol Rafiki to control his powers and master all of them, so far he is struggling on reading thoughts, importing thoughts, and having thoughts. I haven’t even thought about teaching him how to fly or shapeshift yet. You see my human form isn’t really at all close to my normal form, however, Carlo’s kind of is. At this point, he can only change his size and muscle levels. I can change everything about myself but I usually don’t.

“How am I doing?” Carlo asks me one day.

“Horribly,” I say.

He laughs, and I know exactly what he is thinking about, you see everybody thinks I can't say terrible right because I say it like: tar-a-bull instead of saying it: tear-a-bull, but to me, they just sound the same. It is so annoying when he does that.

“Hey Al,” He says.

“What,” I say out loud, then realize he’s nowhere near me. “Haha,” he laughs inside my head, “I mastered it”. Oh great I think, now I have to teach him how to fly. This will be fun…..not.

Well, it’s a new day, which means new and more failures. I wake up and go into Carlo's room to wake him up but he’s not there, so I go downstairs to look for him thinking that he just fell asleep on the couch watching T.V. But he’s not there either. I walk into the training room worried, and that where I find him. He is flying around the ceiling running into the walls and the obstacles. At first, I think that he is sleep flying. Then I realize his eyes are wide open. Vito is sleeping in the corner in a rolled up mat, and Carlo is flying around the ceiling. Nothing is normal today. For starters, my usual alarm clock in the morning is Vito trying to murder my feet or my nose and six-thirty because he’s hungry. Oh and let's not forget Carlo can’t fly. So I guess my point is: What the hell?

Chapter 6

Flying

Ok lets me make this clear, we do not have wings. We do not fly around like maximum ride and her flock. No, we just kinda magically fly. Actually, it’s more like floating. Now What Carlo is doing is not a good example. At all.

He’s like that dragon in that movie that can’t really fly. He just runs into walls. So I take him upstairs to the top of our building. But wait, wait, wait, pause. Ok, now you may be wondering this right now: What building why do you live there blah blah blah. So understand this, on our very first day, see brick wall chapter, we went and created a building Chicago. Yep, our very own ginormous apartment building and yes we did it in no longer than a few seconds.

Now back to the story. Now we are on top of the building. I nudge his shoulder a little bit and he seems to get the message. Together we jump off the building and hold hands and start singing and he and I fly through the air perfectly. Except instead we start getting shot at. Yep, Carlo is falling I’m trying to yank him up with me as we clumsily “fly” through the air, I quickly manufacture a metal bubble but now we can’t see so I drop that and manufacture a real bubble and just in time to because I am so out of energy that I pass out. But no because I wake up two inches from the top of our building with Carlo already laying next to me. I quickly analyze the situation. So the bubble must have been shot down and the building seems to be surrounded with sprays of bullets. I look down and see that the people are moving up on big platforms. They have already blown up the fire escape and stairwell and the elevator is on the bottom floor. Wait that’s just it, the elevator. I wake Carlo up and pull him into the inside of the building where together we pry open the doors and jump down the elevator shaft, where I found out that we are wrong, the elevator is not on the bottom floor it’s on forty-third floor. So we only went down seventy floors. Then I hear the people. They are just passing this floor, scream and still shooting up. Then I tap into Carlo’s thoughts and realize he’s right. “Ok,” I say into his mind, “let’s try that…..”

We pry open the doors on that floor which are only a few feet above us because we landed in between floors. Once we are done we run down a hallway and dive out the window. You see the people were going up so we were only inches underneath them but even at that, we were not getting sprayed in the face with bullets.

Chapter 7

Aftermath

I woke up, although it was still dark in the night. Something was sleeping on my chest. There was just enough moonlight for me to see a purring Vito curled up on my chest. I smiled and looked at Carlo next to me. My eyes stayed straight, but I looked into his thoughts. We were in a forest, that we had found. The ground was cool and dry. The air was warm and calm. “Are you ok?” Carlo asked, interrupting my thoughts.

“Yeah, why?”

“I don’t know? I mean do you ever get tired of this? Of running? Of hiding?”

My only response was staring at him like he was insane. “I’ll take that as a no…..” he mutters.

I can’t believe he said that I mean this our life. Maybe, maybe we’re not soulmates maybe he’s not the lucklie, or maybe I’m not the cobra. Wait oh my god…..maybe I’m not the cobra. I’ve never thought about that.  I guess I kinda just assumed. No…..no, I can’t think like that. I just need more sleep. So that night I fall asleep with swirls of thoughts, that I hope I never have again, in my head.

I wake up again, and it’s still dark, man I just can’t sleep right. That’s when I realize that there are no stars and that I’m no longer lying on the dirt floor of the forest. I tried to sit up and feel ropes on my wrist but as I struggle against them, I almost fall forward. I’m on a vertical table, tied to it, with some kind of cloth over my eyes. I can hear someone breathing beside me but not much else. I squeeze my eyes shut as I hear someone open and close a door.

I like your inventiveness. I suspect your story is 'stream of consciousness' stuff, but you do a disservice to the story with the spelling mistakes, it interrupts the reading flow. I look forward to more of your story.
