"Run, bạn idiot!"
"I am!"
Niki and I just robbed a gas station. We pointed our Colt's at the cashier, then tied him up. Sweat dripped off my face as we loaded our trash bags full of thực phẩm and money. I didn't think we'd make it in time before the cops came. But, miraculously we packed up quick enough.
"Alright man, head over to those hills, here take this, I'm gonna go knock that guy out."
Niki nodded and took the two trash bags. His blonde hair falling around his head, soaked with sweat.
I ran back into the station, and went over to the cashier. I asked him if there was anybody else here and he shook his head. I kneeled down to him and whispered
"You've never seen us before. You've never seen us before. You've never seen us before."
His eyes grew very wide as I strapped on my black leather hand gloves. I gave one almost fatal blow to knock the cashier out. Then, I ran.

Niki and I ran for about 5 miles, without stopping. We'd been looking for a an toàn, két an toàn spot in the forest that surrounds this town for miles and miles. Nobody'd find us.
We found a huge hollowed out cây that looked sturdy enough to hold off rain and wind, so we moved our trash bags in and took turns keeping look out for anything. Anything. We couldn't take any chances. Stuff, just anything, always came after us and we have no idea why.

"You okay man?" I đã đưa ý kiến while tilting my head back, closing my eyes and panting.
"Yeah. I'm okay, Jack."
"Good."
"You know, Jack, I have to tell bạn something."
Niki's blonde hair was short but long-ish in the front, and now it was covering his eyes. His small frame was quivering and his bony hands were intwined with each other. His tan skin seemed to vibrate off his muscles. I have to admit, I never would have thought of Niki to be strong. But he can run for miles and carry like 400lbs at a time. That kind of makes me laugh, if I think about it hard enough.
My brown hair was kinda short but it always had this natural ability to defy gravity and be all spikey. I never understood it, but now it was lying flat against my skull from me sweating so much. My pale-ish skin felt heavy against my toned muscles. I tried to keep in shape because me and Niki do a lot of running.
"Yeah?" I đã đưa ý kiến still rolling my head around on my shoulders with my eyes closed.
"You know, Your mom?" My eyes instantly popped open. Usually Niki never talks about my Mother... Not since she died.
"Yeah, What about her?"
"I did it." He đã đưa ý kiến solemnly while looking me straight in the eyes, his were brimming with tears and he was shaking thêm violently now.
"You did what, Niki?" I asked, now I was also shaking. I had scooted over to sit tiếp theo to Niki to try and shake him of the shakes.
"I... killed your mother, Jack."
What? What did I just hear? Little tiny Niki quivering out the words killed and mother in the same sentence? He could never... never do such a thing. He vowed, not to kill, he vowed it with me... He didn't. He's lying.
"Don't play sick jokes like that, Niki. It's not nice." I đã đưa ý kiến letting out my contained air in a sigh.
"I'm not playing any jokes, Jack. I'm serious! Look at me! Jack, look at me! I killed her! But... I swear, not on purpose, Jack! When we were kids.." He sniffled. He was now crying hard, tears rolled off his cheeks over and over again.
"When we were kids... Do bạn remember your mom telling bạn that bạn were special. That bạn were unique?"
"Yeah. But, Niki, c'mon if this is the truth... stop playing games with me!"
"Your mother died in a fire. A house fire. We were playing hide and go seek around the edge of the pond. bạn were 'it' at the time and I decided to go around bởi the pine cây bởi the corner of your house..."
He stopped for a moment catching his breath and wiping away tears. I stared intently, my green eyes almost popped out of my skull as he explained my mother's death to me.
"I don't know what happened... But while I was hiding behind the thân cây of the cây my hands started to get warm from touching the tree. I look at the parts of the cây that'd made my hand feel warm but there was no cây there. My hands had somehow completely melted.. hoặc burned their way through the thân cây of the tree. I pushed the tree... In the wrong direction. It landed on your house and imidiatly the entire building was in flame. I was terrified, so I ran."
I didn't know what to say to that. Either Niki is completely insane hoặc he has... ngọn lửa, chữa cháy powers? Either way, I was completely confused, sad, and angry. Not at Niki though. At myself, for being so helpless.
Tears rolled down my face. But, as the first tear fell to the ground I said
"It's okay. I forgive you." The words were surprisingly easy to say. It was hard to accept that Niki, My best friend since I was 3, has killed my mother. But, He did, and I had to accept it wether I liked it hoặc not.
We both cried until we fell asleep, letting our pain seep out and sink into the ground. The pain now shared. We both cried until the pain was gone.


Tell me what bạn think. Should I continue it? *All rights to this storyline belong to me* Hmm.. yeah, anyway, comment.
