The Land Of No Return

Chapter 7

Get Caught

I threw the seashell, and yelled, "Gross!!!" She screamed, then words came out every few gasps, "Do you know how much that's.... worth? 15 million!.... Now it would only be worth, at... the most.... a...a.... dollar!" She recovered from the drama. Then threw her head back and laughed, "Man, I love watching all the boys who beat those furies cower when they hold a furies fingernail! Don't you know that all the seashell's in the world are furies nails as they get beat over and over and over again?" She just kept chuckling. He watched in horror, trying to find the words to say. "How long have you been here?" He asked. She tried to keep a straight face. "About one year." she answered.

"Where are my friends?"

"Your friends are busy right now."

I sighed, "So what can you do?"

She didn't answer for a few minutes. Finally she said, "A lot."

I was tired of being in this place so I made a run for it. I heard a growl behind my back. I didn't dare to look. The growling grew louder and louder. She was turning into a wolf to stop me! In human form she wasn't fast enough, but in wolf form she was stronger and faster. She jumped above me, but I didn't stop so she landed on top of me. Apparently, it was a loud commotion, because just then 3 adults, 1 child come in, 2 men and 1 women and a little girl. The lady yelled at Heather, "Hey! Get off of him! And turn back into human formation! Where are your manners? At home? Well, if they are then maybe we should get you some new ones. How would you like that? Go to the gym for fifteen hours straight. And.... no. You're not just going to sit there, you're going to be getting trained by Hunter. Now hurry, and HUSTLE!" She didn't even give Heather a chance to speak. "But... you see he was... well he was... he was getting on my last nerves. Then he tried to run away and... and..and," she stuttered so fast that she couldn't say the words. We just watched her as she tried to explain. I didn't realize it but behind the door was a bunch of kids trying to look for holes in the cabin, to peek on what's going on. The lady raised her eyebrow and looked at me then back to her. "Excuse me? Are you questioning me? Well, of course he'd run! Your a crazy maniac! I already told you that if you kept acting like a complete lunatic!," she sighed, then looked at her fingernails, "And look at this! My fingernail polish always cracks when I get upset, I have wrinkles ruining my makeup. Now... GET TO THE GYM. Hunter you go too!" She took deep breaths to calm herself down. She was really tall, her hair was stringy and blonde, her eyes were as red as fire, she had a lot of makeup, red lips full of lipstick, dark eye shadow, and a black gown jacket made of leather, like from the movie Matrix. The clothes inside the gown were also black and made of leather. One of the men sighed and went out the door with Heather, grumbling about how he always had to be the one to train the misbehaved ones. He was a short stubby man, with greasy looking hair. As Heather and Hunter went out the door I saw kids trying to look in between them.As the door was slammed closed behind them I saw the woman looking at me up and down with her hand under her chin. "Um...hello?" I asked over and over again but she seemed like she was in another dimension. I just watched as the man and girl whispered in each others ear. They were talking to fast to understand them. I just waited there and stared at the fury's nail.
