Scary information and small spaces

   I've never liked needles. Expessially when they are given by strange, shady, men. With all this talk about it I didn't really think must of the blood test, until me and Tyler were walking down the hall. We were headed to our next class when the people who will be taking our blood walked past us. I looked over at Tyler and under his usual messy blonde hair he looked pale. All of a sudden he grabbed my arm and pulled me around the corner

"hey! What was that about?" 

"I know those guys" he said. 

"yeah they are taking our blood" I said.

"no. I mean I've met them. They work for my dad." he whispered 

"are you sure it's them?" I said quieter

     I peaked around the corner and I recognized some of thier faces too. I reconized one who caught us in china. A large bald man with an ever present scowl that said "I had fun once, it was awful."  He and the others were wearing nurse outfits with vague name tags the read things like Bob Jones.  

"you're right we need to tell the others" I said

    We ran as fast as we could to the garden where they usually hang out luckily they were there.  After explaining what we saw we created a plan to find out what they are up to. Unfortunately for me, I am the smallest and can easily climb through the vent system. And there just happens to be one leading to the nurses office where this is being held. Terrific. My job is to sneak into the room and find information on what they are planning. Instead of picking the computer expert though they got the girl who can't even operate a toaster. But he's going to help with it using his Walkie talkies.  Tyler gave the others Some too so they could help guide me through the maze of vents.  I tied a rope around my waist and climbed in. About five minutes later I was right above the nurses office waiting for The all clear. I climbed down and stepped up to the computer. It was a Small yet high tech looking computer with the company's logo written on it. I pulled the thumb drive from my pocket and Tyler told me what to do from there. If Tyler was doing it it probably would have gotten done a lot faster. "I click the what?" "where is that?" I found myself repeatedly saying. Once I got it I pulled the rope to let them know I need to be pulled up and *thump* the other end of the rope fell. An wave of panick rolled over me until I heard a voice above me. 

"hey. Are you just going to stand there looking stupid or are you coming?" audrey said. 

    She pulled me up the vent system and we started crawling our way back.

"you might as well turn that Walkie talkie off. They haven't been answering. And what if u accidentally press the button and ruin their cover?" she said

   She had a point. So I turned it off and we made it out ad decided to go to the garden. That's where they would look for us first. 

  "I thought you hated me? Why did u save me back there?" I finally said

   She glanced at me and then sighed

"I'm not sure if I hate you or not. But, you are part of our team now. We have to look out for each other. 

"so you trust me again?" I asked

"slightly. It'll take time before I can trust you completely."

 "I understand. I wouldn't trust myself either. After what I did-"

  "there you guys are!" I was released to hear mike yell across the garden. 

   They hugged us and we plugged the thumb drive into me and Tyler's laptop. The information I got talked about a program that can take everyone's blood and find out who we really were. It can trace our DNA and find us.

Girl advice

So school here has been pretty good so far. I've been spending alot of time with mike lately. Mostly I've been helping him with his girl problems. He's having trouble expressing how he feels about her. Luckily I know audree. Well used to know her and I know what she would want. Its also kinda nice talking to him again. It's like the old days when we could talk and laugh together. I can tell he's starting to trust me more. Which is something can't say about the others. The rarely ever talk to me. I don't blame them. :/
anyways, mike has bee telling me about how he's known her for so long and is afraid things are going to be weird, and he doesn't really know how to say he likes her. I've been trying to help him with that at lunch. Me and mike sat near where u put your treys up with the others on the other side of the room.
"But what do I say?" he said.
"hmm ok pretend I'm audree and tell me what u would say" I said.
"ok, umm....I've kinda liked u for a while now, but didn't really realize it because we've bee like best friends for so long."
"pretty good. Why don't you just say that?" I said.
"it's different with her. I've never been so good at....saying things.."
"You'll get it. Trust me things will wor out. I'm almost positive she feels the same way you do about her." I said.
The bell rang and we left lunch.
I ran into Tyler later. He didn't say very much and he looked kinda hurt. I asked if he was ok but he said he was fine. But I could tel there was something bothering him. But I let him be. He didn't seem like he wanted to talk about it.
And audree seemed madder at me then usual. I could of sworn she was staring at me angrily in class with her arms crossed. and when I would turn around shed look away still angry though. As if she was plotting some terrible Revenge for me. Well that thought will help me sleep tonight.

First day fight

So we made it to London. It definitely didn't go how I wanted it to. Me and Tyler got here yesterday and went to our dorms. Because we were new we got our own dorms. Just the left over ones one the bottom floor. It's kind of nice. I have a lot more privacy. Which, counting the situation I'm I need, I need it. Anyways today after class me and Tyler, I mean Xavier, decided we needed to go ahead and find the others. We started wandering around the school until we came across the garden. I started to lose hope. Maybe they weren't here until I met eyes with Audree. She was the first to recognize me. I looked at her. She gave me a look of surprise then anger. 

"Grace!?" Audree yelled. 

Suddenly the kids she was with turned around. I recognized them. Tony, Phillip, and mike. They all stared at me until Audree spoke up. 

"what are you doing here?! Trying to get us killed again?!" 

"no we want to help you!" I said 

"You think you can just show up here after what you did? After breaking my friends heart and getting ms killed you-you-" Tony yelled.

"don't talk to her like that!" Tyler yelled back. 

Mike just stared at me looking shocked and hurt. He then turned to Tyler and balled up his fists. Then Audree attacked me. Phillip was trying to pull her off off me but Audree was too strong. I looked at tyler and him tony and mike were all fighting. Tyler was a good fighter but he couldn't take tony and mike. Mike was incredibly strong and soon Tyler was on the ground. Phillip eventually got her off of me but she was still screaming and calling me names I won't repeat. Trying to grab and punch me. She grabbed a lock of my hair when I heard 

"stop!" 

It was Jamie. She was with jasmine who ran to help hold Audree away from me. That's when I saw Tyler. He was lying on the floor covered in blood and mike was on top of him strangling him. I screamed nooo!! And ran to him.  Tony had stopped and him and Jamie were trying to get him off Tyler. Audree wasn't trying to hurt me anymore and went next to mike. I don't remember what the others were saying. I was too busy in tears hitting mikes back Yelling "stop it! Mike! Stop!" Tyler was turning purple when mike Let go. He stood up and Tyler gasped for air. I remember seeing him look at me, ashamed and shocked. Then he ran away. 

"Tyler, Tyler please get up" 

"why did u come back?" Audree said to me. 

I looked up at her. "I told you." she said "We came to help you."

   "What?" Jamie asked "What are you talking about?"

   "We don't need your help." Jasmine crossed her arms. 

 "listien,I'll explain if you help me get him to the nurse." I said. 

They all just stared at me. Tears were still running down my face. 

" Please! Just help me and I'll tell you everything you want to know! I'm not going to turn you in! There after me to!" 

   "What?" said Tony

   "Like I said. I'll tell you everything." I said.

    "We need to take him to the dorm." said Philip checking his vitals "He's completely fine. He just needs to recooperate on his own, but we need to have water ready for him when he wakes."

They helped me carry him to his dorm. 

"why can't we take him to the nurse?" I asked

"They'll ask too many questions." Philip answered "To much attention for us."

   "Just stay with him until he wakes and make sure he drinks a lot of water and that he rests."

 said Philip turning to leave

   "Wait!" Grace called to him "You guys can trust me now. I'm on your side!"

 Audree opened the door. 

   "We will never trust you."

They all left. After they were gone I sat there with Tyler. Looking at him unconscious and I started crying. He woke up about an hour later. I sat holding my lags crying 

"hey are you ok?" he said quietly

"you're awake!" I said and hugged him. He blushed. 

"what are we going to do?" I said whipping away my tears.

"they aren't going to trust us" I said. 

"I know." he said. 

We sat there talking until it got dark and I went to my room. I lied in bed until I heard a tap on my window. I opened it up. It was mike. 

"Mike?" I said

"Yeah...." he mumbled. 

"Mike, I'm so sorry for what I did. I never wanted to hurt you." I said

He looked up at me. His eyes were filled with tears. I explained to him everything that happened. When I finished he looked at me. 

"I believe you" he said. 

A wave of relief rolled over me. He looked over at me and I could see shame in his eyes. 

"I'm sorry for hurting your friend. When I saw him and you, I just took out all of my feelings on him and I couldn't control it." 

"It's ok"

We sat there until he spoke up. 

"do u....like me?" 

"I'm sorry mike." I said

"he looked hurt. 

I loved spending time with you though. And I just don't think I could do that to Audree anyway." 

"What do you mean?"

I laughed 

"I know audree. We used to be great friends. I can tell when she's in love. You haven't noticed the way she looks at you?" 

"Audree. You really think so?" he smiled. 

"I do. Well u should go now. The others are probably worried about you. And if your caught in the girls dorm..." 

He laugh. 

"ok ok. Night"

"Night" I said. Thus ending the worst day of my life. I guess it's not so bad. At least mike trusts me. And Tyler's ok now. Can't wait to see what happens tomarrow. 

Leaving the country....again.

So we've finally found the others and guess where they are. London. :/ Don't they know how long we've been looking for them here? Well I guess they don't...anyways, Aparently they are attending this fancy academy with dorms and rich kids. I don't know how Tyler did it but he was able to track them. Even though they are all under fake names. He found a copy of thier student IDs. They are completely unreconizable. I wasn't so sure it was them at first but When I looked closely I recognized them. Phillip didn't have any glasses and had blonde streaks in his hair, mike was wearing a hat which he doesn't usually do and had glasses on, Tony's hair was short instead of his long hair, jasmines was shorter with neon streaks of different colors, Jamie had shoulder length hair withbangs, and Audrey has straightened weave. So weird to see them like that, but they are smart. We need to discuise too. I bought some red hair dye and am cutting my hair to the side so now I have side bangs. K there now I have to let the dye sit. Tyler wouldn't let me cut his hair but I eventually convinced him. I also dyed his blonde. We even got fake names and IDs. I'm Felicia and he's Xavier. Tyler got us into the school too using his tech skills. He tried explaining how he did it but he lost me. I'm actually excited for school. I wouldn't admit this to any of my old friends but I really like to learn. I know I know the geeky thing is more of Tyler's style. "hey!" he said. After reading that. "haha I'm joking :P" I said. but I'm also excited to be staying in Europe! The accents, the royalty, maybe I'll even see some cute boys;) Tyler read that and rolled his eyes. I don't know what that was about. well anyways we are packing for Europe. We should get there in a few days. So see you in London!

Had a falling out with some bad guys.

Hey guys! I lost my iPad so I had no way of posting safely for a while. >:[ so, sorry.  But I can post now. How did all this happen? Well it's kind of a long story. This past couple weeks have been crazy. Tyler can't seem to track mike and his friends. It's like one day they were here and we almost found them, and then the next they were gone. As if they left the country or something. We have been going from place to place it's like no where is safe. The last time a posted we were staying in a motel. It only had one bed so Tyler slept on the floor and I was on the bed. I offered to sleep on the floor but he insisted. I don't even remember sleeping. I just layedo n the bed thinking. Thousands of thoughts ran through my head. What if when we find mike and the others they all hate me? Or distrust me? What if I just cause more trouble? Is everything going to turn out ok? I led thee for hours when I looked at the clock. 2 am. I tried to sleep but I heard a weird noise. Gun fire? Foot steps? Maybe I'm just being paranoid. When I was little I would always think I heard noises that weren't really there. Just the sound of the wind, a branch hitting my window, nothing else. The stomping noises got closer and closer. I almost jumped out of my bed when I heard Tyler say something

"Did u hear that?"

I guess he couldn't sleep either.

"You don't think......." I trailed off 

When burst through the door were a large crowd of men with guns who didn't look so friendly.

"Tom! Benny! How's it going? Little early for a visit don't you think?" Tyler said 

"Tyler." the man said gruffly. "always the rebellious type. If u come peacefully we won't have to hurt you." 

"tempting offer. But I'm going to have to decline." Tyler said and and kicked the mans gun out of his hands and i grabbed it"

"little Gracie. Heh u don't have the gutts to shoot me. C'mon. Go ahead." 

The others laughed. They were right.  
I looked up and noticed a large  chandelier above the men. I had an idea. I shot the rope kind ting to the chandelier. nothing happened for a moment. The men laughed again. The man in the front lifted his gun and aimed it for me. Then suddenly, the rope broke and fell on the men. All this did was buy us enough time to get out of there. I ran out the door not thinking about my stuff when Tyler grabbed the money and we ran to a taxi.

"well" I said. "you really can fight. I thought you were joking about that"

"Haha nope. I took some karate when I was younger. And nice thinking back there. That was close." he said

"Hehe your telling me. wait, dang it I forgot my iPad. And all my stuff!"

"well we can't go back. At least I grabbed some money."

"yeah. I guess" I said.

So ever since then we've been going from place to place. Luckily  this women we stayed with one day gave me her old laptop. She was an old women. She told us her son gave it to her but she had no need for it. So, with a little bit of Tyler's geeky rewirering, I can post. Now. Well, can't wait to see what will happen tomarrow. Night.

Parachute to china

So we made it to the plane and I was able to blog there because I stopped at my house and grabbed my iPad. I checked on it.

"won't your dad freak out when he finds out your gone?

i asked him. He struged

"I doubt he'll even notice I'm gone. He barely talks to me. He's never even once asked hey Tyler how's your day."

"oh. And your mom?"

I asked

"she died when I was young"

"sorry"

I said

"it's s'ok she died along time ago. But your parents..."

"Oh, I forgot about that"

tears started welling up in my eyes

" I can't believe I ruined six kids lives and broke ones heart so my parents could be safe and they still ended up dead."

Tyler looksed at my screen

"you blog about this?"

Yeah. It's kinda a way to vent about it"

I said

"I think Jamie blogs too- oh yeah we should check it"

I logged onto the blog and read the latest post.

"oh mike. I really hurt him.

I put my face in my pillow

"I'm a terrible person"

"No your not. You did what you had to do to save your family. It's my dads company that's terrible"

He read the blog

Wait a second, they aren't blogging anymore because... Crap! How could I of been so stupid?!"

he said

"what is it?"

"I forgot, they can track your electronics. You have to get rid of that!

he said

"too late"

I turned around and saw about ten men from the company glaring at us they all stood up

"This is bad"

Tyler said

"Well time to go come one"

"what?! Are you crazy? We're on a plane?! Where r we going to go?

He grabbed two parachutes and opened the door.

"You coming?"

he said and smiled. And with that we both jumped out of the plane. luckily we didn't end up too far from china. I was able to grab my carry on bag on the plane so we had money for this motel Tyler figured out how to make it To where the company couldn't track my iPad so I can blog still

"how did u do that?"

I said He shrugged

"I'm pretty good with technology"

"I see. Any other talents I don't know about?"

I can juggle! And I'm also an awesome fighter!

He kicks and brakes the lamp I laughed So anyways, they don't know where we are exactly but they know we r in china. Which means I have a feeling that won't be the last we will be seeing of those company goons.

A new friend and a plan

I decided today that I have to do something about that company. I need to sneek in the place. Even if I just find some information about my parents. Your probably wondering where I've been staying. Well I knew I couldn't go home. Thats the first place they will be looking for me. But I had to get money and cloths. So I snuck up to the window on the side of my house and peeked through.

"well she's not here"

said one of the men

"better go tell the boss"

and then they left. I climbed in through the window and quickly grabbed as much money and things as I could get and left. With the money I savaged Im staying in a hotel under a fake name so they can't find me. So back to seeking in the company. I ended up climbing through one of the vents and made my way to this room that had lots of computers and files every where. I climed out of the vent and made my way to the files and computers frantically searching for something I could use.

"Looking for something?"

someone said behind me I jumped. There standing in the doorway was a boy, maybe 15-16 with longish brown hair that halfway covered his bright green eyes.

"your grace right? U know everyone's been looking for you. The boss mans pretty mad.i could turn u in"

he said slyly I gulped.

"relax kid. U know your lucky I found you and not one of my fathers goons"

he said.

"so you're, the bosses son?"

"Sigh,yes. He wants me to take over the family business, but I think what he does is wrong...which is why I'm going to help u"

What?

I said

"don't think I don't know what your doing. Trying to get some dirt on the company, maybe even save some "friends"

"How did u know that?!"

I retorted

"I make it my business to know everything. You can get away with a lot when your the bosses son and all"

he said.

"Fine, u can help me."

"good. Because I was just on my way here with this"

he held up a flash drive.

"on this flash drive is a full video of my dads meeting. He confesses to everything. I was coming here so I could put it on the company's files but we could show people it and stop them!"

"one problem. No ones going to believe its real or noones going to see it. At least no one who can do something about it."

I said

"Oh."

he said and slumped to the ground.

"unless....we find some people who can help us"

I said

"Who?"

"those other kids in hiding. They can help or at least tell people thier story of what's happening. I just don't know where they r. "

"hmm"

he said and went to the computer.

"they were on the run, probably wanted to get as far away from here as possible so I'm going to try and hack into the state airports security cams

There's no way you'll be able to-

"Done!"

he interrupted

"no way"

I looked on his screen and there was the security video. He freeze framed just as the six kids were walking and Jamie had glanced behind her shoulder. That was them

" and it looks like they r headed to china"

He said

"and so are we"
