Off of Jasper’s idea and my guidance we left for the city. The city was a couple day walk, so Emma would set up a campsite for us in the woods that stretched down and encased the entire road. It created a arch above the road in some parts, time was stuck in the perfect time to make the sun shine through the leaves creating beautiful lighting. Down fall, the woods we slept in were very dark and scary.
While walking I would occasionally kick stuff like leaves and sticks. They did have gravity, when I jumped I did come back down. Oh, and yes Jasper and Emma looked at me weird. I thought if gravity still works and I can interact with things maybe I could use cars. Two days later my theory was proved correct when we heard revving.
“Everyone into the bush!” I shouted quietly, the others obeyed. A four seater 2020 Jeep Wrangler came rushing down the road. I could tell it was someone we did not want to mess with, they were already going crazy. The window was broken and it was spray painted on. He definitely stole and vandalized it.
“Ok, let’s continue.”
Another two days of walking and camping out we finally made it to the city. The city was in chaos at first, so we waited. I didn’t want to endanger Emma or Jasper, so I decided we should not enter yet.
In the time that we were waiting I tested my experiments more and more. I started to throw things. I threw sticks and rocks, they all fell. I had Emma make an artificial bow from my shoe string and a strong but flexible stick I found, and made an arrow from a strong and sturdy, straight stick I had found. I did not sharpen it because I felt no need, it was only an experiment. I shot the bow and the arrow flew, then stopped. I walked over to the arrow in mid air and did the same as Sakeri and father. I waved my hand all over it, when I grabbed it I could move it. I let go and it fell. I returned time to it. I did this experiment over and over for about two hours. The same thing, that was the result from my bow experiment. I dismantled the bow for my shoe string back.
“Kristen! Come here!” I heard Emma yell.
I rushed over to see the Jeep Wrangler parked in front of the woods where we were residing. A guy standing outside the front door, I feared for Emma and Jasper. Though they found me before I found them, they walked up behind me. And silently,
“Kristen, come on” Emma whispered. “Jasper has an idea.”
After explaining the idea we made it into a plan. We are now going to act on it.
It started with me being chased by this dude, because I’m the fastest. Jasper would then hijack the car and I would jump on the back as we drive away. We planned to steal the car.
“Hey dude, what are you doing here?” I yelled, I really didn’t mean to but there was a lot of fear behind my words. He could tell.
“What’s up kid, where are ya friends? I know there has to be more than jus’ ya.” He responded, he was looking all around I knew he had friends somewhere, so I kept my space.
“Yea, they are all gone. They ran, I gave them that opportunity.” I said this trying to give Emma and Jasper an idea to run. They didn’t.
“Well kid, I guess this is just us then, why don't ya come here?-”
“What are your intentions?” I cut him off.
“Cutting people off isn't a nice thing to do kid.” He responded sharply. I kept quiet. “Ok then, since ya wanna be rude.” He did a signal with his hands. A person appeared from the trunk of the car. A girl, pretty young, with a gun. Aimed at me.
“Fuck” I whispered. He turned around for a second to tell her not to let me go but when he wasn’t looking I took this chance to run. I proceeded to do just that. He smacked the girl yelling at her about my escape, took the gun, and followed. She stayed silent and in the trunk. Jasper and Emma proceeded with the plan.
I ran for a while because I did not want to be shot, I quickly climbed a tree I saw, it was pretty thick so he couldn’t exactly see me. He caught up and got frustrated because the lost me, the tracks disappeared from my leap onto a branch. He threw the gun in frustration, I think he was drunk and couldn’t think straight. When he walked away about 2 feet I jumped down grabbed the gun and ran to the car. He followed yelling about the gun.
I heard the car crank up and knew they succeeded, I jumped in the trunk as planned and the girl was still there. I assumed she was his daughter but before I could ask Jasper had driven off.
