New Reigns

First topic message reminder :

"Dad!" Thomas had darted over to his father's car as he had parked and gave him dabs.
Griffin rubbed his head. "Tommy." He greeted and rubbed his eleven year old's head affectionately. "I hope you're playing fair." He told him and grabbed the basketball from his hands and threw it over to Benjamin who quickly tossed it through the hoop. The group of boys, Presley Dustin, Alex, Benjamin, Jay, Jasper, Seth and Tyrese were often outside
"I told you Tyrese sucks at basketball, Jasper." Benjamin  stated annoyed with his brother as he had hopped in front of the boy to claim the ball before he could, and began to dribbled around attempting to avoid him.
Griffin shook his head and watched his son dart over back to the other boys and headed over to the house where fifteen year old Kitty was sitting with her ipod blasting beside her sister Dawn while doing her nails. "Did mom make you two hang out together again?" He asked as he made his way inside.
"Hi daddy." Kitty greeted then shook her head. "No, we were bored." She admitted. "And worrying about finding a boyfriend." She smirked knowing how much that bothered her father.
"You wish." Griffin said and grabbed both of their phones checking through  the contacts. "I want those boys deleted both of you." He said and smacked both their heads lightly before heading inside. "And remember, I don't want you guys hanging around Alex or Jay alone." He warned and walked over to Jane and kissed her head. "Hey baby." He greeted and sat beside her.

Tyrese glared at his brother then grabbed the ball and threw it at his head. "Shut up faggot!" He said and punched him in the stomach.
Benjamin put his younger brother in  head lock. "I'm going to kick your ass kid."

Cora shut her eyes and collapsed on the ground as she was let go. For a moment there was silence, then the door slammed open and the sound of running footsteps echoed around the store.

Jay had slid his back against the wall after the doors had opened and glanced inside the room once the culprits had gone. He winced as he saw Cora and he walked over to her and kneeled down by her side to see her pants off. "Oh shit..."

Cora recognized Jay's voice and made a desperate attempt to conceal herself although her hands had been tied.

Dawn grunted and remained quiet.

Aria went up to Percy so he could explain.

Jay untied her as soon as she was within sight and looked down at her.  "What the hell were you doing?"

Kitty nudged her. "Come on let's get to the bus." She said and walked outside shielding her face from the harsh winds and entered the bus.

Percy waited for everyone to get into the bus. "I'm sorry it's so early everyone." He said gently. "But I can't have you stay here long because chances are this storm will not pass."

"Hold on man, my son's missing." Bladen said quickly.

Avril looked around desperately with Keith in her arms. "Cora, she's gone too."

Cora removed the cloth from her eyes and quickly reached for her pants to slip them on. She turned away from him and wiped her eyes, not wanting to respond.

Jay grabbed her by the hand and helped her onto her feet. "Let's get you back."

"I don't want to go back." Cora mumbled.

"Do you think it's a choice." Jay asked grabbing a hold of her securely.

"I'll find them!" Jacki said and jumped off the bus before anyone could stop her and ran out into the storm. "Jay, Cora we are leaving!"

"Jacki!" Percy called after his daughter and grimaced then looked to Aria. He picked up a device that was showing an increase on the wind.

Cora flinched away from him but didn't say anything.

Jay helped her out into the open and winced at the sand.

Cora shut her eyes against the sand and leaned against him, her legs shaking.

Jay continued to walk and narrowed his eyes. "Come on we're almost there."

Cora nodded and kept walking.

Catching up to Jacki, Jay nodded a greeting then continued forward till he was on the bus with Cora ahead of him. "Thanks for coming." He mouthed to Jacki and shot anyone a glare who dare look at him.

Kitty remained next to her sister with crossed arms.

Bladen exhaled as he saw Jay return.

Avril shot forward and hugged her daughter. "Where have you been? Are you okay?"

Cora nodded and gently hugged her mother back before sitting down in her own seat.

Avril frowned. "Do you need anything baby? Water? Food?" She asked.

Alex slowly turned around in his seat to look back at Cora.

Shaking her head, Cora replied, "No thanks."

Avril sighed and kissed her head. "Tell me if you need anything at all." She told her gently before taking her own seat.

Cora nodded and looked up at Alex. "What?" she muttered.

Alex gave her an odd look. "What were you doing alone with Jay?"

Cora looked away. "Nothing."

Jacki sat beside her brother, as always, before nodding to Jay.
