Chapter Ten: I Always Lose At The Game of Chance
"Who would be dumb enough to follow us?" demanded Courtney who was already forgetting that Darrell almost kidnapped us. "Don't they know who they are messing with." Courtney sagte it a bit playful but playful was not the kind of mood we were looking for.
"You might be trained, but they are experienced and probably know 40 different ways to kill someone. It is best if we go hide out somewhere." Darrell kept his eyes on the road, those sky blue eyes.
"You're right," I said. "But where are Charles and Raven? We can't just leave them. We all have to be safe. It is my fault you're in this situation."
"Actually it might just be Dr. Hyde's fault," sagte Darrell.
"But I'm the one who wanted to go and find my dad," I sagte back.
"But we wanted to come along."
"Which means I should make sure everyone is okay," I said. "If something happened to them, then it would be my fault."
Darrell pulled to the side of the road and stopped the car. He swiveled to me and stared sternly at me. "You didn't force us to come. We wanted to and we all knew the risk." Now, now was the moment he was going to KISS me. It happened all of the time in those cheesy romantic comedy movies. Christina watches them everyday and I cant help but be drawn to them.
"Guys," sagte a serious Courtney. Her voice ruined everything but reminded me where we were and what we were suppose to be doing. "I see Raven." She unlocked the transporter, van door and jumped out before we could even see what she was talking about. I followed and so did Darrell.
Sure enough, Raven was trudging down the stone road. She saw us but did nothing. Her movements became slow and before long, she collapsed. Courtney was at her side within Sekunden along with me. Raven's usually combed black hair was wet and muddy like the rest of her. She was silently weeping which gave me hope that she was still alive. Her leg was most definitely broken. It was obvious Von the way it was positioned, definitely not a way someone with an intact leg could do.
"What happened?" asked Courtney. She took off her sweater she was wearing and wrapped it as gently as possible over Raven's leg. "McKenna, help me get her into the van."
"Before Du do anything, check her for recorders oder tracking devices." I said. "We can't afford to be followed oder killed."
After doing that, we helped her to her feet and walked her to the van. Darrell immediately assist her into the transporter, van and laid her out on the backseat where she cried for a bit. Having my Fragen Nicht beantwortet was something I never approved of. "What happened to you?"
"McKenna," sagte an alarmed Courtney. "She doesn't want to talk about it. Leave it at that."
"I can respect that but someone needs to tell me why those guys I that car are speeding towards." Darrell hit the brakes on the car and we sped off. It was still night and it was remarkable how he could drive in the dark. Although, he had done it in the foggy night when my plane crashed. The guys in a blue minivan was on our tail even as we were back on the road and now in the highway. There must he some possible way we could loose these guys.
"Take a short cut through there," I sagte while pointing.
"In the woods," he asked incredulously.
"Just do it!" Without needing to be told twice, he went towards the forest that was near the highway. Like a shadow, those guys were behind us. Who were they? It could be those goons that were around the school. From what I could see, they had on Suits which isn't something modern Tag good wore.
Chances were, they would catch us, kill us-with us providing a fight-and go along their merrily way. "Go faster!" Courtney was practically yelling in Darrell's ear.
"If I go any faster, then I will hit a tree!" Darrell shouted back.
"Doesn't look like any of us have to," I sagte awkwardly as I stared out the window. "I know those guys."
"Who would be dumb enough to follow us?" demanded Courtney who was already forgetting that Darrell almost kidnapped us. "Don't they know who they are messing with." Courtney sagte it a bit playful but playful was not the kind of mood we were looking for.

It's sad
It's the truth
Fighting through what it is
But I'll be stronger
I've gone through
Mounds of pain
I've been through
The deepest waters
Nobody can change my past
It's the truth, and it changed me
Sad to even hear the truth
Sad to...say the truth
Reality's always sad
And no one's gonna escape it.
It's how I became who I am today
It's how I didn't brag.
Why does this have to happen?
Why did it have to end?
Why does the world have to be so confusing?
Why did the fun have to end?
The world's just a crazy place
And no one's gonna stop that thought
Cause I'm broken for good...
Because of...the truth.

Tell me darling why Du cry,
Your tears stain the bett Du lay upon
Could it be Du miss the ones Du clung to so tight,
Nothing but a scared little fawn
The flames burnt away your past and future,
The hate did nothing but balance your grief
What now? That’s presents question,
Something so fragile like a branch being clung to Von a leaf
Where is your mother little dove?
What happened to those loving others who filled your empty nest?
How many word of the world can Du rhyme with love?
Perhaps someday we will know with, proper care and rest
When pursuing dreams take chances and strive for nothing less than best
Then only then can Du be sure you’ve completed life’s most demanding quest
Your tears stain the bett Du lay upon
Could it be Du miss the ones Du clung to so tight,
Nothing but a scared little fawn
The flames burnt away your past and future,
The hate did nothing but balance your grief
What now? That’s presents question,
Something so fragile like a branch being clung to Von a leaf
Where is your mother little dove?
What happened to those loving others who filled your empty nest?
How many word of the world can Du rhyme with love?
Perhaps someday we will know with, proper care and rest
When pursuing dreams take chances and strive for nothing less than best
Then only then can Du be sure you’ve completed life’s most demanding quest
Soar, soar
Soar beyond your wildest dreams.....
There's no limit
On how much Du can soar
No one can
Break your wings and kill you
Soar for the skies,
Don't let the feelin go
Just soar, soar like never before
No one's gonna stop you
From believin
There wasn't a time
When nobody could never soar
But there was a time
When people never believed
And tomorrow
Isn't the Tag to fall
And nobody's gonna push Du down
Oh almighty eagle
We're gonna be the powerful eagles
We're not gonna let anyone
Be our ruler,
We're not anyone's slave
Almighty eagle
Oh soar, soar towards the sky's height
And soar toward your dream
Let nothing keep Du away
Almighty eagle
Soar beyond your wildest dreams
And we're gonna fly tonight
Let nobody keep us down.
Life can be hard. Especially for me, Lily West, your almost-average 16-year-old girl. Most people think it's weird I'm bald. Others think I'm going to die. Then there's the occasional person who tries to take pity upon me. I'd rather they not, because some say it like I'm a helpless little schildkröte on its back. Sometimes I wish I die already, and sometimes I wish that I was a completely different person. Yes, it's tough having cancer. I just wish that they would respect me for a person instead of a helpless little bug.
