Well, after the whole mishap with my deadbeat dad, Me and Koru went back only once in 2 weeks. that time was only to get some stuff from the house right after we left so we didnt make an encounter with the man who somehow has the title of our dad. We had virtually robbed a man, I dont even want to dare call him our father. No doubt that our dad will be on the news, pleading about how much he misses us just for the cameras. He will beg for us to come home, and if we dont, he will basically put a bounty on our heads. Thats always how it goes.

For a few days, we didn't sleep. We just wandered the streets, looking for a job and a place to rest our tired bodies of work. We stopped at various places to "Browse," but we really only did it to be in air conditioning. People gave us looks almost as dirty as us as we strolled by, caked in dirt and sweat. We regret nothing though. Once we went to the supermarket, we went towards the television section for entertainment. We really had nothing to do on our sleepless days except talk to each other. I love Koru, but trust me, talking to him for days straight makes you want to strangle something. He may be in the same boat as me on that one. People who felt bad for us rarely took us into their homes, we would tell them our stories, normally over a hot beverage; something we haven't had in a long long time (unless you consider warm pond water a hot beverage). Then, we would turn on the news to see if we were in danger of being taken back to our fake father. We would fall asleep and sleep for as long as we could until saying our goodbyes and farewells.

One time, Koru and I were walking until the sun arose. then, suddenly, a car came to a screeching halt as a handsome man in a white v-neck stepped out of the car and walked towards us. Koru became frightened, clutching to my side. I knew what this was about already. I stood tall and strong as he speed walked towards us. I locked my eyes with his firmly, attempting to state my strength.

"State your business," I say, pointing my staff at him. He is nearly upon me, so I build up energy in case I need to swing at him.

"I want that money," The man says, grabbing me by the wrist.

"We have nothing to give you!" Koru says, tears streaming down his face like a waterfall cutting the stone into rigid objects.

"We cant go back there!" I exclaim as the man grabs Koru's wrist and starts to lead us to the car. The man faces us.

"Look," The man says to us, "Your father really misses you, and he begged the people watching the news to find you-"

"You dont understand!" I say, breaking free of his grip. "He doesnt let us have a social life, he beats us, we were basically prisoners until we took our leave! He just wants his toys back! Trust me!"

The man stared us down in disbelief. He had his arms crossed. His stance was in no good shape to do any fast movement. Now was my time.

I grabbed Koru's wrist fast and took off. Koru saw what I was trying to do and started gaining speed on his own. I looked back to see the man dashing to his car, frantically starting the engine, trying to deny his prize an escape route. as his vehicle started picking up momentum and gaining on us, I knew it was time to let it go.

I threw the staff I had carried as protection for weeks on end at his front tire, causing the sharpness to poke holes in his tires, making the air seep out of it, sounding like Nicki Minaj dying. He got out of his car, decreasing in speed slowly. The man emerged, inspecting his tire, giving up, and chasing after us on foot. After around 5 minutes, he doubled over, wheezing and out of breath, as me and Koru took a sharp turn into an ally a few meters out of his sight. I sat Koru down quickly and explained the severity of the situation we know were aware of to him.

"Listen," I said quickly as I make a wall of trash to hide our presence. "Now that we know that 'dad' has a bounty on our heads  almost as fat as himself, we have to stay nocturnal for a while, meaning we have to only go out at nights most of the time to hide our presence. This is our life until this whole thing dies down. Did you get all that? Good."
