Caddy

Caddy stirred in her bed, turning from side to side as she wished for sleep to overcome her once more. Being awake and back in touch with reality is what she feared more than anything. The shift was her place where she could be free. Her escape. Without it, she would have lost her mind; even more so than she already had. She pushed herself out of bed, pulled on some jeans and a fashionably tattered t-shirt, before making her way downstairs. The scent of honey roasted coffee, and freshly baked cinnamon buns swirled through the house, leaving the trace of her mother's cooking in every room. Sighing to herself, Caddy snatched one of the danishes and a to-go-cup of coffee her mother had already placed on the counter for her.
A creek along the floorboards from the adjacent room signaled to Caddy that her father had yet to leave for work. Desperate to get out, she walked quickly over to the front door, taking her guitar case and messenger bag that lay beside it, and opened the door.
But it was too late. He saw her. Like a deer in headlights, Caddy froze. She could either risk going out without saying a word and suffer the consequences later or explain why she was in such a hurry to leave. Either way the outcome could potentially hurt her in the long run.
I gotta get out of here, she thought to herself. Slamming the door behind her, Caddy picked up her pace and began running down the street and out of her neighborhood. All she could concentrate on and all she wanted to concentrate on was the wind pushing her hair back...

(Sorry I didn't get the chance to post sooner)

Lucia was finally at home, she had spent most of her time exploring outside to avoid the paranoid person called her aunt. Though when she got home she was scolded like a kid, again, Lucia played back what she heard. It's too dangerous blah, blah, blah, what if someone jumped you yadda, yadda, And you wonder why I worry! Same old, same old.
Lucia was now sitting on her bed, her ipod in her ears and her nose in a comic book. Despite her aunts wishes Lucia bought comics and read them when she was forced inside. You would think she was tired but she wasn't, she was jarred up and ready to go! As Lucia read her eyes grew wide at the scene where the bad guy almost got The Punisher then squealed and got even more into it. Sadly the comic ended to soon an dLucia had not yet bought the one after it "Noooooooo! I don't want it to end there! I wasn't at the best part!!!" She whined "Dang it! Lemme!!!" She whined over the blaring music in her ears. Her aunt rushed in Lucia's room, a bottle of pills in her hand- wait- pills!? Lucia ripped her iPod from her ears and jerked to the standing position on her bed, clutching her comic book hoping maybe the Punisher would come out and save her.
For the next ten minutes all people could hears was the wrestling match between Lucia and her aunt yelling and shouting. Until Lucia had mangaed to get away and escape through the second story window and climb down to safety. That woman was WAY too much sometimes. Lucia sighed with a small put was she walked in her monster feet slippers and PJs, spitting the pill she'd been forced into the street.

Ian sat in his room, reading over some of his old Shakesphere plays he'd had for a while. Downstairs her could hear Bryan laughing at some comedy Ian had randomly selected from the movie rental store. Could he be any louder? But Ian smiled at the noise, it kept him distracted from the fact he was losing his mind slowly and that he was still failing on finding a way to cure it. Looking at the clock on his wall he sighed softly, grandpa was supposed to call an hour ago about the parts for the engine of that Viper they were working on. Running a stray hand through his hair he chuckled, he was probably too busy flirting with the woman at the coffee shop. What scared Ian was how a sixty something year old man could still score a few dates and how Bryan was constantly rejected. Then when Ian teased he was reminded he'd been single since he was sixteen when his date dumped him at the prom. Not his fault! She was just more into other- Okay what am I doing? I was supposed to be going over the Viper, not doing this! Jeeze get your head on straight! He mentally scolded as he flopped his book on his desk.

Sally was sort of leading Serrenedy along by a choclate bar.b "Sally, this isn't FAIR. Common, gimmie" She looked up "People" She cried and gabbed her sister before she could bump into the people. Serrenedy looked at Felix and Caddy. "Sorry, I have to keep her awake until I'm tired, didn't mean to almost hit you guys" Sally said crypticly.

Nightmares, huh? Intrigued, Caddy considered running past Fenix and straight for the park. She had always heard stories that there were others like her, others who were trapped in the shift, but never had she gotten to meet one. A year in, and she never saw another living person pass by her. Not once. However, Fenix's offer to escort her prevented her from doing so. As far as she knew, Fenix was an innocent soul who didn't need to hear of her monsters.
"Um...sure," she smiled. "I was just going to get some coffee. Stupid. You have a cup of coffee in your bag. Forget it's there? You're clumsy. Drop it. No. Too obvious. Fml. At least you finished the cinnamon bun in like three bites. Fatty. Why am I still talking to myself? How long as it been quiet between us. Someone shoot me. Trying to cease her racing thoughts, Caddy began walking towards the Starbucks on 3rd Street and Connor Ave. She had five blocks to try to make some sort of conversation or leave it as an awkward situation. What to talk about? Tv? Don't watch enough to talk about it. News? Don't know enough. Music? She glanced over at Fenix. Wait for him to say something..if he ever does.

[If you were to read the entire post you would have seen that they do have a destination. The coffee shop which I even gave an address for and a estimation of how far away it was. Also, thoughts are italicized]

Serrenedy started walking towards the coffie shop. Sally pulled out a cupcake to divert her attention as they headed to a cafe, FAR away from coffie. "there are seriously NO WORDS for how evil this is" Ren protested as the younger girl ran in front of her. Suddenly Serrenedy stopped running. Sally cursed. The only thing to bring her sister from a sweet, was a sweetheart. Sally walked over to see a boy headed in the direction of the cafe, with his head in a book. "Are you going to speak or just oggle?"Her voice startled Serrenedy. "Oggle...oggleing's good.""Well you better stop, he's coming over here. Serrenedy yelped and hid behing her younger sister, still looking at Leon over the girl's hair

Serrenedy chirped "EPP, um...nothing, I mean...um...thre was a... thing...but...I got it!!!...and...umm....NOTHING" She colasped into breathless giggles. Sally scoffed. "My sister thinks your hot" She informed the man "And she's high on sugar so she's having trouble with sentences." Serrenedy lept to her feet, Grabbing Sally by her mouth and atempting to drag her away. "LIES, and fear and..."AS she trailed off, sally got free and walked up to him. "Either way, looks like we're both going for brunch, tag along? She's probaly going to end up following you if you leave.""SHUT UP"Serrenedy managed, one sentence.
