Sunrise or Midnight, Kate Brown [miss read books txt] 📗

at my clock ten minutes had pasted then fifteen I finally sat on my bed next thing I know my door is opening.

"Hey sorry Adam caught me in the hall"

"I was getting worried, well lets go for that run"

We ran down the stairs well more like he chased me down them we got out front and I ran straight into something I screamed so loud my own ears rang. My eyes turned and that's when everything around me blurred and I heard William yell my name. I turned and I saw three more of what ever they were taking William and not slowly either I tried to check them but then I just collapsed. When I woke up I was laying on the grass with everyone standing over me, Adam stuck his arm out toward me and I grabbed it. He pulled me up.

"Thanks"

"Midnight where is William, We heard a whole bunch of noises and next thing we find is you looking like someone killed you on the ground"

"This town is fucked up, What ever those things are they took Will and I tried to save him and then I just I really don't know"

I walked over to the barn while everyone was calling my name. I grabbed Buck didn't put any tack on him and jumped on I took off galloping everyone ran after me. I followed the tracks getting off Buck and looking at the tracks every so often. Then they just stopped right after they jumped the fence I got off Buck and just collapsed I started to cry. Buck nudge my head with his nose, he bowed down and I pulled myself up. Buck just walked I don't know where he just walked and I let him.

Chapter 7

Before I know it, it's dark out and I have no clue where I am just that Buck was still walking. I looked around and where ever I was it was beautiful. There was a lake and the full moon shone off of it and it was so bright. Buck just stopped and stood there I got off and walked over to the lake and sat down. Morning came and I was still sitting there all I heard all night was howling, I didn't feel like moving all I wanted was to know if Will was still breathing where ever he was.

POV
William

All I remember was going outside to go for a run and they were there and Midnight tried to stop them and I don't know how she moved like that or killed that wolf thing but she did and fast too then they that's all I remember. I woke up here where ever here is and my head was killing me. I looked around and saw nothing but dirty and tunnels it was really weird.

"Hello is anyone out there" I yelled and all it did was echo back

Then I heard it.

"Hello" it was really soft and it sounded familiar

"May is that you" I started to walk toward the noise there sitting at the end of the tunnel was my sister Lynn's head was on her lap I ran toward them and slid in front of them.

"May are you ok, Come on get up I'll get Lynn"

"Will what are you doing here"

"They got me too I was going out for a run and they were waiting for me. Come on get up" I offered my hand to her and she grabbed it.

Lynn woke up when she got up. She smiled at me.

POV
Midnight

I was still relaxing by the lake by noon I was so hungry I just didn't want to go back to that house and face that family they would hate me even more. They would ask me tons of questions and I wouldn't be able to answer any of them. I heard someone behind me I ignored them.

"You know this is where I came when my sisters got taken I didn't know what I was gonna do, did you know that Mayflower is the oldest I'm not and we were the closest out of all the kids" Adam sat down next to me

"I didn't now that, Adam did you know I've lived in every state except for Hawaii, Alaska did you know when I was five my mother dropped me off at a park and when I thought she was parking the car she was leaving me there to find food and shelter by myself"

"What I've heard of foster care it does sound bad but I never knew what happened to you before you went into it I wouldn't have been able to do"

"The only reason why I've been able to do it is because all I have to remember is as long as I can run and read I'll get out of it" I got

"That's one way to do it, I guess"

I offered Adam a hand he grabbed it and pulled himself up I noticed he had a horse with him so he must know how to get back home. I called Buck and he trotted over to me I pulled myself up and followed Adam home. When we got there I got off Buck and put him in the stall. Then I ran right past everyone coming out of the house. I ran right up to his room and jumped on the bed it smelt just like him and I just smiled. There was a knock at the door.

"No ones home" I screamed Charlie walked in laughing

"I'm gonna use that one day if that's ok with you"

"I sat up, yea that's fine"

"So Lucy tells me you are a runner is that right"

"Yea I love to run in my down time, I ran track and cross country at my last 5 schools I feel like nothing else matters, why"

"William loves to run always has for as long as I can remember anyways. He use to tell me it made him feel like he could fly it made him feel free"

"That's how I feel too like no one can touch you"

"Well I'm glad. Midnight do you know what I need to talk to you about what really happens around here, You gonna find out sooner or later"

"What is it Charlie"

"There are beasts that roam and kill and take people to be turned into them they are human but not at the same time, they got two of my daughter already if they aren't dead I will cry when they come home because they won't be the same. So I came up hear to ask you to go get my kids before they get hurt or worse I know you can, your dad use to tell me you were gonna be special"

"Wait you said my dad? How did you know my dad? Charlie I need to know this"

Charlie got up and started to walk away, I got off the bed. Charlie turned around and pointed at me.

"Get your shit in your head right and you can do anything you put your mind too and I'm not just saying that you will be able to do it"

Then he walked out. I sat there for a while then went down to my room I got some loose blue jeans on work out shoes and a black t shirt. I walked out my door and there stood Adam.

"Hey Adam what do you need I'm on my way out"

"Just take this and be safe ok"

He had handed me a sniper rifle. I have no idea where it came from and I didn't care I just had a feeling that all of a sudden I knew how to use it, just like it clicked into my head like I was writing a book or something. I swung the gun over my shoulder.

"Thanks Adam, I'll use it"

Then I just walked away, I descended the stairs and grabbed my jacket off the hook when I walked out the door. I was walking to the barn when Hope stepped out in front of me.

"I'm coming with you"

"The hell your not, I'm taking any chances with you getting hurt"

"You have no choice you bitch, they are my family not yours"

I didn't even think about I moved and flipped her onto her back, she gasped. I looked down at her.

"Look you fucking bitch you think I wanted this bull shit, I want to finish high school and go to college but holding this gun I might do some other shit. So you will stay here and if you don't something bad is gonna happen worse then those fucking animals taking you, do you got that"

I walked over to the barn got Buck out and saddled him up jumped on and took off toward the lake.

Chapter 8

POV
William

We sat there for a long time talking about what happened the night they were taken and if they had done anything to change them at all. May do they check up on you?

"No, they dropped us off down here and that was the last time we saw of them"

"So why haven't you tried to find a way out of here"

"No it's too dark down here"

"Yea I guess it is"

I got up and grabbed Lynn and we started to walk Lynn in my arms and May next to me. I felt like we were walking for hours listening to everything around us and trying to find a way through the tunnels. We stopped a couple of times to rest, I felt like we had been walking for hours and Lynn was still passed out she looked so small and scared.

"May we got to get our little sister out of here you know that right"

"Yea we have too, no matter what bro"


POV
Midnight

Before I knew it the full moon was rising over me god it looked so big and the stars were so bright if it wasn't for that I wouldn't be able to see ten feet in front of me. I stopped Buck and got off and walked over to the nearest tree I was beat I would have to say we traveled at least 10 miles or so. I got my bag down off the saddle and rolled out my sleeping bag and grabbed some food as well. Lucy had stopped and gave me some supplies enough food for 6 days and some first aid stuff as well. All she had said to me was (bring them home) then she walked away and I left.

I woke up to the sun in
