Day Runners

Chapter 2: Hell hole

 "Run? What the hell could that mean?" asked my brother. I just looked at my phone, how was I supposed to answer that. I am just as surprised as he. 

    "Let’s just go home, it’s probably an error or something" I stated, I looked around and seen everyone else continuing on about their evening and since I didn’t see nothing to be alarmed about I decided we should continue on with ours. We keep walking down the street towards our house until I felt a presence behind me, I turned around and did not see anything, so I continued following Chase until we got to our home. As we approached our house, I got that same feeling again but this time I chose to ignore it. “Mom and Dad were home!! The Outdoors were so fun” Chase said as we entered the house. There was no response which was weird.

                “Mom Dad?” I called again, and the same thing happened, no response. “Maybe they ran to the store?” I said confused, they never ran to the store this late, but for them who knows at this point. “But I am going to the kitchen, I’m starving!” I stated.

                “Same! I swear the dudes at the park are exhausting, I feel like I could eat a horse!” Chase chimed. As I walked to the table I seen a note on the counter stating ‘Hey sorry about the abrupt leaving, When you were out we got an urgent call from our bosses stating that they needed us to go to corporate and help out over there, we will be back in three days xx MOM and DAD.’

“Chase Mom and Dad are away for the weekend!!!” I shouted. I headed to the freezer and pulled out the tub of ice cream, walked to the drawer where we kept silver where and pulled out the biggest spoon I seen. I sat on the counter and started digging in, I started thinking back on our time at the skate park and then remembered this new guy I seen. I have never seen him there before. Matter of fact he came with two other guys, but theirs always new people going to the skate park. So why did he catch my eyes? Before I could finish that thought I heard a loud crash. I jumped up and ran toward the sound of the crash “Chase! What the hell was that noise??” I stated while running. When I finally made it to wear, I heard the noise come from I seen my mother’s antique vase on the floor shattered and chase by the table with his eyes wide. “I am going to say this as calmly as I can…. HOW THE HELL DID YOU BREAK MOMS VASE?!?!?!? SHE IS GOING TO KILL US, NO, NOT ME, YOU!!” I rushed out.

“This is bad…. Mom and Dad left us for three days and not eve a whole day later I broke the vase….” Chase worriedly stated.

“Yeah ya think”

“Maybeee if we hide it, she won’t notice”

“Wont notice? She always is showing off that thing”

“Okay but I heard the other day her and Dad were Planning on throwing away something”

“And she said the vase? Your lying”

“I don’t know what she wanted to throw away, I started thinking about pizza and zoned out!”

“Anyways, just throw it away and ill tell her the monster got it or something”

“I knew that monster was real!!” Chase said in awe. I swear sometimes I think I am the oldest. After that little event, I took a shower and changed into some blue shorts and a white t-shirt. I jumped on my bed and started drifting off to sleep, thinking about my crazy day today.

*PRESENT**Starr P.O.V*

                I woke up to the sounds of screaming inmates. “Inmate 195, you already know the drill” One of the officers stated. I stood up from the dirty mess of blankets on the floor that I call my bed and looked around. A once beautiful modern bedroom that many people would kill for, is now replaced with cold grey cement walls with my boredom all over it. “Inmate 195, head down and arms behind your back” The officer stated. I looked up to meet his eyes, the look was hard, and daring me to object to his orders.

                “Now officer, you should know by now the rules aren’t required for miss Starr” I said in my best country accent. He must be a rookie, everyone in this facility knew what its was like getting me up, that is why they always put the rookies with me. It gets them toughen up. “Now what do you say we forget about the restraints this time and just bring me to which ever side of this hell hole I need to go?” I stated in a matter of fact way.

                “Inmate 195, I’m not asking I’m ordering you to do protocol as assigned”

                “You know, we could’ve been friends, as long as you knew who ran this place.”

                “Inmate, I’m really not in the mood to put up with your attitude today, The warren already told me how you like to “play now unless you want that pretty little brother of your to be hurt, I suggests you keep that pretty little mouth of your shut.”:

                I was taken back by this one. He has more confidence than the others I can tell you that much, he is lucky I can afford to go to solitary today. “Yeah yeah, mister just take me to where I have to go” I said in a dull tone. At this point I was frustrated I could not do anything because he mentioned my brother and everyone here knows, that if they lay a single hair on me my brother would give them hell, and vice versa. But anyways back to the story, He dragged me out that little cell into a hallway that looks all the same to the rest of them, grey with numbers and letter. My hall being G7. After about a 10-minute walk down different corridors. Left, Right, right again, Left, Left and finally stop. We arrived at what all the inmates call “The rec” It was just a big underground arena where we can see the sun. He unlocked the metal gate door. 1785. I already knew the code from my 5th newbie officer that they placed with me. He was supposed to tell me to turn around so that I would not see the code, but the dumbass forgot. Anyways I walked to my usual table and sat down. This table was our table. The only people who sat right here were people that we trusted, which only consisted of me my brother and 2 other people.

                “Thought you wasn’t allowed back in hea’” Said Celia. Celia is one of the first people I meet in here and let me tell you, she has been a life savior.

                “Nah Ce, you should no they can’t resist a little lady like me!” I said in my country accent. Celia hates it so much, but I love messing with her so much.

                “Sometimes I wish that I could throw a brick at ya head ya know”

                “Well why don’t you suga?” I said laughing.

                “Look I don’t mean to ruin the fun but like we have a project to Finish dealing with” Said Seth. Seth is Celia boyfriend, they were together before me and my brother got here, and Seth is my brother most trusted person in here. Oh and what plan you may ask? Well you didn’t expect me to sit and rot in here forever did you?
