On The Run Part 1

*Terra's P.O.V*

 Run. That was all I could think of. I couldn't stop now. Syrius would catch me if I did. I needed to stop. I sat down. I had to get up. I struggled to stand, legs aching, arms exhausted.

"Oh my, is that a baby?" Two slender arms picked me up. "I wonder where your parents are." Attached to those arms was an adult, possibly in her thirties.

I looked around, no sign of him. Phew! 

Suddenly, he strode into view. I leaped down before he saw me. The woman grabbed at me frantically as I went down, trying to stop me. Fat chance of that happening.

 I took off running again, making for the bend. I hid just where Syrius couldn't see me. I peeked around the corner.

"Excuse me, but have you seen my daughter?" "No,I have not." Syrius questioned the woman.

"I just saw you with her." "OK, I dropped her." Syrius lunged at her, a cloud of dust kicking up as they fought.

I ran. No stopping. I ran for about two hours before resting. I was in front of someone's house with a porch surrounded by flowers.

 An old man came out for his paper. He stopped dead when he saw me. "Henrietta! Get out here!"

An old lady in a leopard print gown stepped onto the porch.
She gasped at the sight of me.

"James! Pick her up and give her to me." "Henrietta" ordered.


"James" did as he was told.


Henrietta started walking inside. "You poor little soul!"


James walked in too. "We'll keep you safe, little one."







Well, I decided to split this up into two parts cos writing this was seriously bugging me.

Stupid Stupid Stupid!

*Ophelia's P.O.V*

"Huh?" I thought someone just called my name. I turned around.

I saw a toddler with green hair and blue-green eyes. Mum has green hair. Dad has those eyes. Terra!

"Terra?" I walked a bit closer to her. "OPHEWIA!" She called out again. It was Terra!

I was running to her when a guy picked her up. My mouth fell open. Syrius (I think)!

I noticed another toddler who had the same dress and hairstyle. She got picked up by another man who trailed after Terra's kidnapper.

I ran for Mum and Dad. "Mum, Dad, I saw Terra!" They didn't believe me. "You were dreaming it. You obviously fell asleep without realizing it."

"I mean it, I didn't fall asleep! Terra's alive!" I tried to get them to realize I was telling the truth by telling them she has Dad's eyes and Mum's hair. Instead Mum burst into tears and ran to the public toilets.

"Ophelia Janice Sienna! Go home! Go to your room and STAY there to think about what you did!" Dad yelled at me. He must have been really angry. He never uses my middle name unless he is flaming mad.

"FINE!" I yelled back. I stomped away from the park, mumbling, asking myself what I did wrong. "This is stupid"

When I got home, I ran and flopped onto my bed. "Terra, no matter what, I will find you."
 

*Terra's P.O.V*

"Who was that, Terra?" Anna-Lee asked me when we got back.

"My sister." "Oh, she looked a bit like you, except she had green eyes and blue-green hair."

I didn't know how to answer or even explain that. I waited until Syrius sat us in our highchairs, gave us some mush and put us to bed. Anna-Lee was already fast asleep when I wanted to talk to her. Good.

When we both woke up Syrius fed us some yucky carrot and pea mush and took us to the park again.Stupid idea.

Mum and Dad were there. I walked over. "Hi Mummy! Hi Daddy!" I waved at them. Mum burst into tears. "We're not your parents, little one." Dad kept his cool.  

"What's your name?" "Tewwa" They gasped. Mum was whispering to Dad. "No, our Terra is dead." "Is not!" I shocked them with my outburst.

Suddenly, Syrius swooped down and picked me up. "Uhhh, Hi Mark!" He was nervous, I could tell. "Syrius, who is this?"  "My daughter, Terra."

He's stupid enough to lose grip of a toddler even now.  I jumped down. I ran and ran and ran. Out the park, out into the street. That was my stupidest idea yet.
