"Somewhere in Central America." The older girl glanced up at the prairie.
"You know, it'd be great if we had a GPS or something." Ayla's younger sister gave her a meaningful look, and Kenny behind them laughed quietly.
Ayla glared at both of them. "Honestly, just give it up, won't you?" She snapped in her British accent which she had acquired from her English boarding school, and Kenny's grin just grew wider. She sighed. "We'll be seen, and tracked. We've got to stay off the grid."
Levi's glower matched her sister's. "There's something called change our names."
Levi's glower matched her sister's. "There's something called change our names."
"And there's also something called our parents aren't that stupid," Ayla responded just as hotly, and Kenny looked between the two of them like he was watching a tennis match. "We'll do it old school," the 17 year old girl told the younger two firmly, holding up a map of the world.
Levi shared a glance with Kenny, shrugged, and peered over at the map. "What place do you have in mind?"
Levi shared a glance with Kenny, shrugged, and peered over at the map. "What place do you have in mind?"
"Somewhere deserted," Ayla replied absently, scanning the map. There was silence among the group for a moment as the three all stared down at the map. "We're in Belize," Ayla said suddenly.
"What? How do you figure?" Levi gazed curiously at her sister.
"Remember the merchants that we passed? They were speaking English. People in Belize speak English, right? It's because they used to be a part of the British Empire, so now the official language is English. It's the only place in Central America that speaks with a British accent," Ayla told them. "So now, I think, we should go down along the Caribbean to Honduras, and then decide what to do here." She paused. "Er, Kenny, you know any Spanish?" She grinned slightly.

"Hola and Si. That's pretty much all of my Spanish vocabulary words."

Levi rolled her eyes. "How do you think this'll work?"
ReplyDelete"I suggest we look around for clues, see if our parents have already brainwashed to Honduras yet. I don't think they did, but it wouldn't hurt to make sure. Now, can anybody fake a British accent? I'll be the mother taking her children for a trip- say it's a long weekend. Don't worry about the fact that I look 17. You know I can make them think otherwise." Ayla said this so quickly that it was hard to tell what she was saying, especially in her British accent. "At the slightest sign of danger, we run, alright? I'm not taking chances."
ReplyDeleteLevi still looked uncertain, but nodded. "A british accent...? Maybe."
ReplyDeleteAyla rolled her eyes. "If you're not sure, just don't talk much, yeah? Let's get to Honduras first." She glanced down at her compass, and promptly headed south, without waiting for her companions.
ReplyDeleteLevi breathed out a sigh, following her quickly.
ReplyDelete(where's Cheryl?)
ReplyDeleteThat night, Ayla lay down on a particularly soft patch of grass with a sigh. Around her, she felt Kenny and Levi do the same. "Wonder if there's anyone else out there," she murmured, staring up at the canopy of tall trees. To herself, she added, Wonder if there's any foreign knives or swords in Honduras...
(I'll tell her to come on.)
ReplyDeleteLevi looked up at the branches of the trees, making out little bits of sky behind it. She exhaled, deep in thought.
(She has now told me to come on. And I am on. As you can tell..)
ReplyDelete"Good day gents," Kenny tried his slightly failing British accent.
~ Kenny ~
(haha... yeah :D)
ReplyDeleteAyla snorted and glanced over at Kenny. "We're not gents," she smirked. "We're ladies." She saw him roll his eyes and grinned wider. She told him in a highly exaggerated American ghetto accent, "Ya gotta get it right, bruh."
Levi laughed, staring up into the sky. "You two are such dorks," she grinned as she said it.
ReplyDelete"Fine fine fine. It's pronounced 'BRO'." I gave her an over-exaggerated grin.
ReplyDelete~ Kenny ~
"Fine, fine, fine," Ayla shot back. "It's pronounced "Lay-dees, not lay-dehs." She smirked again, and crossed her fingers together under her head.
