Chapter Five
California. Eureka!; The Golden State, the sign read.
Everyone was smiling and happy. Diana even got out of the car and came back eight minutes later saying that Los Angeles is only two hundred miles away. We drive faster and faster as we go down the road, mainly because there are no cars. But also because, we're too excited.
Two hundred miles and two and a half hours later, we're finally in Los Angeles. It's big and beautiful. There are warehouses everywhere and abandon shops, apartments and houses. We drive through town until we reach a gigantic house.
"This is the Specials hide out place," Voodoo says, getting out of the car, " Forty two bedrooms, a huge kitchen, a den, a garage, a pool, balconies and the biggest living space ever. Also about ten bathrooms." We all stand in front of the mansion, astonished by how big it was.
"There are more people here, right?" Dark asks.
"Yeah," Voodoo replies, " About six other people."
"Cool," I whisper, "Let's head in." I walk up to the door ready to knock.
"Wait!" Voodoo yells, walking up behind me," They have a very highly operated security system, if they don't know you from the camera feed, they don't let you in, then they kill you." He knocks on the door for me, keeping his head in level with the peep hole.
After a few seconds, the door opens, revealing a grand foyer, two stair cases, leading to the upper level. And at the door a short girl, about fifteen years old stands. She has blue skin like Voodoos', a red spot around her eye and dark green-blueish hair, her eyes the same color. She's wearing a azure beanie and sweater with faded jeans, no shoes.
"Voodoo!" She yells, wrapping her arms around Voodoo's neck.
"Hey, Blue," He says, " Did you miss me?"
"Duh," She says, jumping down from where she hung around his neck, " These must be the new people, I'm Blue Blood, call me Blue." We introduce our selves, one by one.
"Come in! I want you to meet Samuel, Time, Sony, Asher, oh! And Rose will be so excited to see you, Violet." Blue says, excitedly.
"Why would Rose be excited to see me? I don't know her." I say.
"Rose is your sister. You didn't know you had a sister?"
"No," I say, " I didn't." A sister!!!
We walk into the foyer, mentally complimenting everything. We take a swift right and walk down a pretty short hallway, then we take a left into a huge room, where five people are sitting. Two on the couch, three on the floor.
"Sammy, Time, Rose, Sony, Asher!" Blue yells at them, making them snap their heads to us.
"Voodoo!" The girl on the couch yells, getting up and coming over, hugging Voodoo, she looks about nineteen, maybe twenty, " The hell have you been?"
"Oh, I don't know," He says, " Try a huge facility in the middle of Colorado."
"Whatever, I'm just glad you all are safe." She says, smiling.
"Voodoo? Who is this?" Juniper asks, tilting her head slightly.
"Oh, how rude of me," The girl says, straightening her posture, "I'm Time, I'm Voodoo's older half sister." Time is tall, maybe around five ten, she has long red and orange hair, dark red eyes, and dark skin with light freckles all over her. She's wearing a pink top with a leather jacket and black skinny jeans with no shoes.
"Nice to meet you." We all say in unison. And another round of introductions. We introduce ourselves to Sony, Samuel and Asher.
"Hi," I say to Rose, my sister, she has the same skin tone as me, same nose shape, eye shape and height, her hair is black and red and short. Her eye color is red and she's wearing a black beanie with a black sweater and sweatpants and fuzzy socks.
"Hey," She says, smiling.... Then crying, " I never thought I'd meet you."
Now I'm crying, " I never knew you existed, but, you're already amazing." Rose and I spend the rest of the day talking to each other about our lives and the people in them.
"Want to see your room?" Rose asks, suddenly.
"My room? Yes please!" I say, jumping up from where we sat on her bed.
"Then come on," She stands up and walks out her bedroom door. We walk into the hall, she takes two steps forward, " There's your room, right across from mine."
"Really? Awesome!" I say, walking past her and opening the door to my room. The rooms walls are white and clean. There's a huge canopy bed with purple and black bedding, hardwood floors and a purple fluffy carpet. I walk over to the bed and spread out across it.
"Don't forget to look into your closet," Rose says, I jump up from the bed, " I picked out some clothes for you."
I walk over to big double doors on the other side of the room and open them, revealing an enormous closet already filled with shirts, shorts, pants, jeans, skirts, dresses and shoes. The floor in the closet is black carpet and there's a mirror on the back of the doors and a bench on the opposite side from the doors.
"I love it!" I say, hugging Rose.
"Good," Rose says, smiling happily, "It's bedtime, goodnight."
"Goodnight," I say, grinning. Rose exits the room, I close the closet door after she leaves. I look around, trying to find a comfortable shirt and some sweatpants. I end up finding a light purple shirt that says Mind Is More Important Than Body, and put it on along with black sweatpants.
I walk out of my closet and close the doors behind me.
I then, run to my bed and jump on to it, landing on the fluffy comforter. I pull myself under the covers and lay my head on the black pillows with purple roses printed on them. I instantly fall asleep.
I love it here.
