CHAPTER FIVE

----- I woke up, and my head was bobbing up and down, up and down...
----- I lifted my head up, and I could tell where I was. Brad was carrying me, and Akino was trailing behind. I yawned, then buried my head back, and fell asleep to the rythmatic steps of Brad.

----- I was jumping over mounds of trash, running to something, desperate to find it... I turned a sharp corner, and ran into a dead end. I searched all around, and found a blue bird feather...

----- When I woke up, I was sweaty, and Brad was looking down at me with worry. I shook my head and sat up, but found myself still in his arms. "You okay?" He looked worried. "You were moving around and mumbling 'bird' over and over again." I nodded. "Yeah, just a dream... I don't want to talk about it." Something about that dream made me worried. I tried to get out of Brad's arms, because I was really hot. He put me down, and Akino greeted me happily. I trailed along behind Brad, and he often looked back with worry. My head was dizzy, and my eyes felt tired. I was sweating, and I felt terrible. I was breathing heavily. I sat down, and took some deep breaths. My eyes were barely open, and my mouth was dry. I felt too hot. I needed water. Brad had gotton ahead, then stopped when he saw I wasn't following. He rushed back. "I need... water." I croaked. He scooped me up, and rushed to a nearby river. He sat me down by it, and I climbed in happily, even in all my clothes. I went under, and Akino swam around too.
----- When I came back up for breath, I felt much better. My head had cleared, and I was all around cooler. I climbed out, then shivered as I realized how cold it actually was.
----- Brad scooped me up, dripping and everything, and propped me into the bend of his arm. I cuddled up to him, shivering, and looked into his big blue eyes. I put my arm around his, and hugged him. The day turning into night, it got even colder, and he hugged me to his chest. He carried me to a small, dirty town, and we both lay against a long, crumbling wall. I snickered when I saw you could see Brad over the top of it, even when he was lieing down. We moved to a taller wall near a stretch of houses, and he lie down, with me sitting on top of his chest. I lay down, and could feel the vibrations of his big heart, and I knew it didn't lie. Brad had a huge heart. He was caring and sweet...

----- I woke up, and Brad was still asleep, snoring quietly. He looked so cute and peaceful, so I didn't wake him up. I slid down the side of his chest, and as my feet hit the ground, I hand grabbed me around the waist, and the mouth. I tried screaming, but my attacker punched me in the gut. It knocked me to the ground, because that was a lot of power behind a punch. I groaned, and then my attacker slung me over his shoulder, but not before tieing my mouth shut with a bandana. I punched the back of the attacker, but to no avail. It was for sure a man. He was normal height, with wide shoulders, and huge muscles. This reminded me of when Brad did the same thing...
----- I set up a plan. As my attacker was turning around the corner, and Brad was slipping out of my veiw, I kicked the guy in the face. He took one of his hands off of my back to punch me, but that was enough to let me slip out. I sprinted, with him hot on my heels. My first chioce would have been to race back to Brad, because he could handle anything, but I had gotton lost, so I ran in the nearest direction. That was a dead end, so then I hopped over a pile of trash, and sprinted to the right. I came to another dead end, but I had lost the man. I desperatly tried to climb up the wall, but I was only an inch or two off from the top of my hands, and I couldn't reach. I turned around, and looked for a weapon. I found a big-ish rock, and then picked it up. I looked forward, my ears straining to catch the tiniest sounds. Then a boy walked into veiw. He didn't look threatening. He was chubby, and short for a boy, but not super short. Probably about 5' 3". He looked about 13, and he had short light brown hair. He walked over to me, and held out his hand. "My name's Jay. I know you don't know me, but I know you, Lane, and your friend Bradley. Follow me if you don't want to get caught." He wiggled his hand that was out, and I took it. He grabbed my waist, and thrusted me up to the wall. I scraped my knee, but kept on going. My fingers latched onto the wall,a nd I used all my arm strenght to get up. Jay was right behind, and he was surprisingly agile for what he looked like. He jumped down, then oput up a hand to help me down. I grabbed it, then jumped down, using Jay's hand to stable myself. He dragged me along, and lead me back to Brad. He wasn't where he was when I left, but somehow Jay had knew where he was.
----- When Brad saw Jay grabbing my hand and pulling me along, he exploded. He stood up, and made a mad grab for Jay, and caught him. He brought Jay up to his face, and Jay went pale. I raced over to Brad's leg. "Stop!" I wailed up to him. He looked down in confusion. "But he was hurting you-"
----- "No!" I interupted. "He was helping me!" Brad looked at Jay, and put him down. Jay's eyes were wide with fright, and we just stood where Brad had put him down. I moitioned for Brad to crouch down. He did, and I started telling him the story.
----- At the end, he nodded, then looked over at Jay with embarassment. I looked stern'y at Brad. "Go and apologize."
----- "But-"
----- "Now. That's the least you can do." He stood up like a kid getting punished, and walked over to Jay, he sat a little in front of him. I saw him talking to him, then Jay laughed, and then they were talking like friends. I joined them, and interuppted their little bro-fest.
----- Then I put two and two together. This was the place in my dream! And the blue bird feather... was Jay! Like a jay bird! I had dreamt this.
----- Before I could think about it any further, Brad scooped me into his hand, then put me into his leg. I didn't mind, I knew he just wanted me to be closer to him, and I wouldn't blame him. "Jay," I sked. "Who was that who... tried to take me?"
----- He didn't hesitate. "Those people have somehow learned about the Ressistance, and are out find them, o study them, or kill then to figure out how they can survive." I shook my head.
----- "How did they know I was-"
----- "Because. Simply that. I know nothing more." And he was telling the truth. "How do yiou know our names..?" He smiled. "I know that we each have a little power, or big, in some cases." He looked at Brad. "And mine happens to be a mind-reader. But do not fear. I do not intrude on your privacy unless it is a last resort." He smiled. "But what surpirsed me is Brad. I knew his name, just not what he looked like." Brad shifted around, and was no doubt sorry for what he had done. I patted his leg, and smiled up at him.
----- "So will you stay with us?" Brad asked.
----- Jay smiled. "Well, it seems so!"
----- Then a thought hit me. "Uh, Brad?" He looked down at me. "Where's Akino?" He looked around. "I thought he'd followed you..."
----- "If I could interupt, who's Akino?" asked Jay. I thanked him for not reading our thoughts. "He's my pet wolf. He is a ressistant animal." Jay looked worried. "I might know where he is, but he might not be worth saving..."
----- I stood up. "Saving! He's just like a human! I'd risk my life for him!" I yelled at Jay. I started towards Jay, hoping to knocksome sense into him, but Brad put his hand infront of me. I stared angrily at him. but sat down, huffing and mumbling. He put his hand down, and picked me up. I crossed my arms, and didn't look at him. He sighed, and let me sit in his palm. "Where is he Jay?" asked Brad.
----- He's with the man that tried to take Lane. I know where it is, but it might be hard to get in and find your wolf."
----- I stood up in his hand and glared down at Jay. "We. Are. Going. That's that. If you guys won't come, I'll go in and save him myself." And with that, I sat down again. Brad sighed.
----- "I doubt Brad could come anyway. He isn't easy to... hide. It could just be me and you." And Brad didn't like the sound of that. He tried arguaing with Jay, but Jay listed resonable things why Brad shouldn't come. Brad reluctantly gave in. "Well, I said, standing up. "When are we going?" I said excitedly. I got on my knees and peered down at Jay.
----- "The sooner the better." And with that, Brad put me down, said goodbye, and me and Jay went off into the night, on a quest for my friend, Akino.

CHAPTER SIX

----- As me and Jay walked through the forest, and back into the town, I couldn't help but think he was reading my mind. So I only thught about Akino, and how to save him.

----- When we arrived, Jay pointed to a little shack.
----- "You go there, and I'll search this apartment over here," he said, and pointed a creepy looking apartment building that I could barely see in the fading light. He left me, and I walked over to the shack's window, and peeked in. It was all clear, so I slowly creaked the door open. I slowly walked inside. It smelled dusty, and I almost sneezed. I found a light switch, and turned it on. The lights flickered, then stayed dim. It was quite spooky. I searched all around, then heard a soft whimper. It came from beneath a baige sheet. I lifted it up. And lying there, was my little baby, Akino. He was bloody, and bruised. Little patches of hair missing, and his normally bright, sparkling blue eyes, were a lifeless dull blue. I picked him up gently, and he lifted his head. His eyes brightened a little, and he feebly wagged his tail. I kissed his head, and told him everything was going to be all right. Then I heard footsteps approaching the shack, and I dove into a cardboard box. I held Akino on my chest. Then I peeked out a little.
----- The same man who had attacked me yesterday was here, and looking around. He walked over to the sheet where Akino used to be, then he pounded hisl arge fists on the table and cursed. Then he looked at the box where I was hiding.
----- I quickly ducked down, hoping he didn't see me. Akino whimpered softly, but the man heard it anyway.
----- He made his way over to the box, and kicked it over. Me and Akino skidded across the hard concrete floor. Akino couldn't get back up, but I could, and I stood infront of him. The man smiled cruelley. "Give me the dog, and no-one gets hurt." When I didn't move, his smile got wider, and he punched me right in the cheek. It felt like my head was going to fall off, but I kept standing. Then he stopped smiling, and punched me again in the nose. I fell backwards on my arm that I had already broke, and I yelped out in pain. I reached up to my nose, and I looked at my hand, and it was covered in blood! Then I lifted my head up, and looked at the man, towering over me. I got a violent kick to the stomach. I groaned, then whimpered quietly. He raised his fist up again, and punched me again in the face. I flipped over, my nose hitting the floor first, and was now laying face-down on the cold floor. The man then lifted his foot, and kicked my arm. I heard a snap, and he laughed. I cried out, but couldn't get up. I cradled my newly broken arm, and weakly looked up at him, seeing his leg rise up to kick me one last time...
----- Then the ground shook a bit, and the man put his foot down in confusion. Then, the wall to the left of me, crashed down. A beam supporting the roof fell on my back, and I screamed, but then I stopped mid scream because it had knocked all the breath out of me, so I barely even made a sound. Then a hand reached out and grabbed the man. Brad! He picked the man up, and he looked like a little doll comapred to Brad. He yelped, then Brad cut him off by squeezeing him a little. Then some rubble fell on me, and blocked my veiw. I heard a sickening crunch, then a dull thud, and then silence, except for my ragged breathing. Then The beam's weight was lifted off me, and I sighed. The rubble was cleared from my veiw, and I was lying on my stomach, my chin propped against the cold floor, looking straight into Brad's big blue eye. He smiled softly when he saw me, then picked me up slowly. I grunted when he put me of my arm that was probably broken, and he quickly put me on my back, which hurt too. I felt pain all over, my eyes staring up at Brad. Then he cupped me gently in his hands, and put me against his face, and did something I never thought anything as big as him could do.
----- Cry.
----- As first it was just little tears, then it just streamed down his face, and I started crying too, thinking of what could have happened if he had not come at the time. I cried, and my body shook, and the tears flowed freely down my face.
----- As soon as I was all cried out, I sniffled, then felt sleepy. Brad looked down at me with watery eyes, and I fell into a deep, dreamless sleep.

----- When I woke up, my body was sore all over. I could barely move. Brad was still awake, looking up at the stars. He had gotten Akino, and he was lying in the grass, sleeping peacefully. When he felt me move, he smiled. I smiled weakly, then tried to prop myself up, my my other arm gave way, and I fell down back into his hand with an oof. Brad frowned, then lie down, and put me on his chest. He crossed his arms under his head, and just looked at me. Then I tried to talk. Nothing came out. I tried again. "Where's... Jay..?" I croaked. Brad shook his head. "I didn't see him with you there, so I guess he ran away and left you to die." He said, a feiry light in his eyes. "N-no." I said, my vioce cracking. "H-he went to... look in the apart-partment across the r-r-road from the... cabin I was... in." Brad still looked really angery. "Well, he left you, and he knew the danger that was there!" I shook my head. "I d-don't think he... knew..." Brad frowned. " I dunno." I stood up slowly, and wobbled around a little, my arm waving all around. I slid down the side of his chest, and he sat up.
----- "Where are you going?" he asked.
----- I took his big hand in two of mine and pulled lightly. "C-come on."
----- "No. No way you are going to go there. Nu-uh." I just kept on tugging, and he went ranting on and on.
----- Finally after about another minute of his lecturing, I turned his hand over, and sat in it, crossing my arms, and huffing. "How do you think I could take on another one of them like this? You are coming with me you idiot." He smiled, then stood up. Akino lifted his head, nodded, and fell back asleep. He seemed to understand. Then me and Brad walked off into the night. I sat in his hand, just lying down, looking at everything from so high up.

----- When we got to the appartment building, Brad cupped me in his hands, then got on his knees, and peeked one eye through the window. As he was doing that, I was testing out my arm. It didn't hurt that much anymore, and I could move it a bit. I was guessing is was torn or sprained or bruised, but not broken. The only thing that really hurt was my stomach. It was blue, and brown, and green and purple, but I didn't show Brad, because then he'd freak out. "H-hey, Brad." He looked at me. "My arm.... doesn't h-hurt, and I'm not... lying." I showed him. He looked releived. "Good. Maybe you can help then..." He brought me up to the window he was looking through. "The lights are on, so I don't want to bust in just in case they have Jay. I could hurt him..." I knew what he would say. "S-so you want me... to go in?" He looked like he didn't want to do it, but he said yes anyway. I pushed on the glass, trying to break it in, but that was hopeless. "They probably don''t have the alarm on..." and he pushed the window, and it broke like it was nothing. I stuck my tounge out at him, then crawled in carefully. When my feet touched the floor I turned around to look at Brad. He said, "If you need any help... Just... say... Brad..?" I smiled. "Okay." I turned around, and dissapeared into the halls of the sppoky apartment.
