“Why do I have to go?”
“Because, you’re the one that has been tracking her.”
“Ugh….”
“Don’t disobey me! You know what I did for you, and not just for taking you in as my own! So you WILL go, and you WILL bring her to me!”
“Yes sir.”

Asona, Bell and John walked down the hall inside the house. All three trying to be sneaky.
“Okay, we’ll just walk out and no one will know.” John said.
“After we get the key, right?” Asona asked.
“Yes, Mother Matthews always keeps the gate locked.” Bell said.
“And how will we get it?” John asked.
Asona and Bell stopped and turned to John. They looked at him evilly, John started to back away.
..........
“Okay John, just get it and go.” whispered Bell.
“Why me!?”
“Because! It’ll be weird if Bell or I did it.” Asona said.
“Its weird for me too!” John shouted.
“Just do it for Cora.”
“Ugggggh!”
Asona and Bell smiled. “We’ll watch from out here.”
John glared at the girls, they would be watching from the outside window. John entered the house, he walked into the kitchen where Mother Matthews stood. She and two children were making a cake. John stood awkwardly, waiting till someone noticed him.
“Hello John,” Mother Matthews greeted.
“Hi, um what are you guys doing?”
“Making a cake!” one kid said.
“Oh, that’s…great.”
“Would you like to join us?” Mother Matthews asked.
“No, no thanks.”
John gritted his teeth. He turned behind him where Asona and Bell watched him. They just smiled. John took a breath and stepped forward.
“Mother Matthews?”
“Yes?”
John walked to her and gave her a hug, “I love you. I really do.”
The kids laughed and Mother Matthews felt awkward.
“Um John if you’re trying to get extra desert at dinner time, it wont work.”
John let go, “Oh, well it was worth the try.”
Mother Matthews gave him a ‘you’re lucky I’m not going to smack you’ look. John smiled and backed away. Once no one was looking at him, he ran out.
Asona and Bell waited by the door, John came out.
“You guys owe me BIG TIME!”
Asona and Bell stayed silent, both looked like they were going to burst with laughter.
“Just laugh already!”
“hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!”
“Take your stupid keys!” John shouted, he threw them at the ground.
“Oh John, don’t be mad.” Bell picked up the keys, “I’ll buy you something nice when we get to town.”
“You better! And Asona has to buy me ice cream.”
“Ha, I will.”

Cora stood staring at the small house. She wanted just one memory of it to spark her mind. When nothing did, she reached for the doorknob on the door. It creaked as it open slowly. Everything inside is covered in dust, Cora sneezed a few times.
She scanned the small room she was in. Cora walked forward, she heard a crunch. She looked down, broken glass.
“That’s weird,”
Cora looked around, she noticed the windows on both sides of the room were broken. Cora turned her attention to a table near by, it had a picture frame resting on top.
Cora picked up the dusty frame. She wiped it with her hand, two faces showed up. Cora ran her fingertips on each face.
“Mom, dad.”
Cora’s vision blurred with tears. She blinked to release them, tear drops fell on the frame.
..............
“Is she in there?”
“Yes.”
“Okay lets move!”
Dark figures jumped above the two figures that were talking. One was tall and built, while the other a little shorter, with gold eyes.
...............
Cora held the frame tight, she loosened her grip and put it in her backpack. She took one last look at the small room. Cora turned around and gasped.
“Why hello.” a tall figure said.
Cora tried to back away, but she ran into tables and chairs behind her. All she did was stare at the dark figures in front of her.
“No need to be scared. Just come quietly with us, and no one will get hurt.”
“No.” Cora simply said.
“No? NO! Do you know how long it has been to finally track you down!”
Different emotions were going through Cora’s mind, waking the power inside. The earth started to shake, the house’s unstable roof ready to collapse.
As the dark figures got distracted for a moment, Cora ran. She jumped out the broken window, leaving her backpack behind. Cora ran down the same path her parents had long ago. She felt the dark figures presence getting closer.
Cora stopped, she felt her power for the first time. As the figures came closer, Cora remembered the sharp spikes she made before. With eyes open she moved her arms, aiming them at the figures.
The ground lifted forming a large spike. It hit a couple of the dark figures, but most of them jumped it.
“Crap!”
Cora ran for it, spiky earth trick was all she knew. As Cora ran she felt something wrap around her ankles, she immediately slammed to the forest floor. Cora quickly turned from her belly to her back. She propped herself up with her arms.
A dark figured jumped on Cora. He put all his wait onto her, making her fall back down. Cora struggled, she trying to get the knife in her back pocket.
“Just give in!” the figured yelled.
“No!” Cora gripped the knife and slashed the figure in his face. Blood seeped through his ripped mask.
Cora tried to escape but the figure head butted her. Cora felt like she was hit with a frying pan. The figure got off her, wiping his face.
In and out of focus Cora saw someone jump onto her attacker. He kicked, punched, maybe even killed.
The figure came closer to Cora, the only thing she noticed was his bright gold eyes.
“Focus your power!” he shouted.
Cora couldn’t focus, her head throbbed and she couldn’t see well.
“Think of a place, somewhere faraway! Where no one will find us!”
Somewhere far. Where no one will find us. Us?
Blackout.
