“What?” asked the boy, his hair was blonde with a dark tinge to it, it flopped evenly over his forehead and his face was round and smooth apart from his puberty born facial hair both above and below his lips and he seemed to still be in a fit of giggles “It was funny!”
“No it wasn’t,” said a girl who was slim and had long dark brown hair that stopped around her chest, her face was longer than the boys and he features were narrow yet large but still beautiful and a scowl was fixed to her face like an unfitting hat “it scared me to death!”
“Oh no, Anna’s a zombie!” cried the boy again, his other accomplices were not impressed
“Lee shush it, this doesn’t feel right!” the woman replied “Amy what’s the time?”
A girl who was taller and thinner than Anna stepped forward from behind her and thrust her arm out to the woman’s face “Around midnight, Susie.”
“Oh, dear how long have we been laughing? And why on earth were we laughing? I’ve forgotten?” Susie daintily placed a hand onto her forehead “I’ve got a horrid headache!”
“Maybe you should sit down.” Said a man, tall and slightly large around the waist, but not fat. His head was covered with thick brown curly hair and he wore glasses over his rather ordinarily plain nose and he had a small goatee on his chin and a rather proud moustache on his mouth.
“I’m fine, Josh, but thanks.” Susie said “Now, where’s your brother?”
As if by magic, the young spring boy jumped from behind one of the sofa’s his hair was of smaller supply than his brothers and it was slightly lighter, he had most of his brother features, blue eyes with a chime of green and a nose that tilted upwards so slightly you would hardly notice unless up close. His top lip glistened with blonde facial hair that puberty had gifted him with but it didn’t stand as proud as his brother.
“Okay, five down, three to go. Where have those other boys got to then?” asked Susie
“Umm… Susie they went upstairs, don’t you remember?” said Daniel obviously
“No,” Amy said smiling down at her friend “We have no idea, we remember laughing about something but we can’t remember what.”
“Well we were playing hide and seek, and I was counting. The others, Jeff, Josh, well the other Josh, and the other Dan went upstairs and you were about to follow and then we all started laughing.” Daniel explained
Anna still wasn’t happy “Hide and Seek is a game for babies! My sister plays Hide and Seek with her friends! I wouldn’t be roped into playing Hide and Seek unless my life deepened on it!”
“Oh, I can remember someone at the door.” Said Joshua all of a sudden
“Well maybe we should look for the others.” Susie said and walked out into the corridor.
They were in the house belonging to Amy and Anna’s parents for a few reasons. One, Susie’s flat was, at the moment due to a pest problem. The second was that it was the biggest house and the third was that all other parents were at a ‘grown-ups only’ celebration for New Year. The other reasons contained that Breakout. The youth club Susie ran. The two Dan’s, the two Josh’s, the other Josh’s brother called Joel, Amy, Anna, and Lee including herself, had nothing else to do. The younger siblings of those present needed to be babysat, they were upstairs asleep.
As Susie swung open the lounge door into the corridor, light swam down to her from one of the upper floors. There were two above the ground floor, and it danced into the dimly lit lounge nearly blinding the rest of the Breakout crew as they walked out to the corridor after Susie. They slowly ascended the stairs in single file. They arrived at the first floor of the house. Clothes from the four bedrooms, Amy’s, Anna’s, their younger sisters and their parents, were thrown across the floor and there was on large heap in which muffled yells came. With a careful and slightly over the top extravagant gesture Susie threw the clothes away from the person within. Sitting on the floor tide up together were the other Josh and the other Dan but to save confusion in this story they will be known as Daniel and Joshua.
“What are you two doing?” asked Amy pulling a pair of her knickers from Joshua’s head and throwing them in the direction of the room before helping the others untie the two
“Are you serious?” Joshua spurted out
“We got broken into!” Daniel said half laughing
“They pumped laughing gas into the place!” Joshua shrieked
“Oh, I’m so scared…” Anna muttered
“Well if someone did break in, then why?” asked Lee “If I’d of broken in anywhere I would have been as quiet as possible and made sure you two were somewhere less… oh what’s the word?”
“Obvious?” said a voice and Lee turned and gasped
Anna followed by turning and screamed, Daniel and Joshua were just in shock and the brothers, Dan and Josh, nearly fell on top of each other whereas Susie frowned. She stepped forward trying to intimidate the person. Lee took a step down the stairs and Amy shuffled slowly to the door of her room. The man stood with three hostages in front of him and a gun to the head of the middle hostage. On the left was Anna and Amy’s sister, called Abby, who was small and pretty with a mix of her sisters features but had a tint of blue in her hazel eyes. Her hair was messy and brown like some sort of electrocuted tree. The middle hostage was the brother of Josh who was nearly as tall as his brother and had the same floppy hair yet it parted like curtains, not like his brothers hair that swooped to one side. The last hostage was the brother of Joshua and Daniel, called Steven, whose hair was spiked up but no-one could tell if it was fear or the hairstyle he was obsessed with lately. They stood there in a minute of frosty frozen silence.
“What do you want?” Anna snivelled at last and everyone looked up at her. She was shaking. Tthey turned back to the villain
“Anything precious and all you better stay here.” He started counting them all in a slowly, confused whisper “Where’s the other one?”
Everyone started to look around “Amy…” whispered the brother of Joshua
The villain smirked and pushed past his hostages and approached the door of Amy’s src="http://deercreekcottages.com/photo_gallery/lores/Staircase%20wide%20angle.jpg" border="0" alt="" />room to where Amy had sneaked off to when no-one was looking. He kept his face to them at all times until he came to the door which flung open and hit him in the face, he fell back onto the floor dropping his weapon. Josh dived and picked it up, shrieked and dropped down the stairs. Lee dodged, as it fired and hit the ceiling making a chunk of plaster drop. Amy sprung out of her room and darted down the stairs but no-one followed. The gun dropped to the bottom and Amy stood three steps away and turned. Susie stood at the top with the villain in an arm lock with smile.
“He’s nothing without his gun.” Susie said as the other thundered past her to get downstairs.
The man sighed and stamped his foot in anger “I should of gone next door!”
-----------
Like in the story the villain couldn’t do anything without his gun and good old Susie beat him good and proper. But like the villain we would be nothing without God. But we must use him and the tools he gives up to do good things and not just rub it in other people’s faces.By Daniel Frost, 16, Part of the ‘Breakout’ Crew
