   and its so hot hot hot
It really hot here. But I like it. I didn't really have much else to say so I thought I would post more of that story.
Chapter 2

The four of them pulled into the driveway. Maki hoped out of the truck and patted her sword and whip which had been returned after they had left the station. She followed the three up another flight of stairs and into another building.

This one was different from the other two they had taken her too. It had furniture and other items in it that told Maki that this was their house. From behind a wall a women emerged holding a little sleeping toddler. “You’re home!” The women yelled. “Where have you been?! I’ve been so worried!” She made a face. “Who is that?!” She yelled seeing Maki for the first time.

“We… ah… found her.” Her husband stammered. “Anyway she’ll be staying here for tonight.” He moved his eyes to the ceiling as his wife’s face hardened in anger. He secretly thanked that Timothy was fast asleep or she would have been yelling by now.

“What are you thinking?” She said in an angry singsong voice. The last thing she wanted was her son to wake up.

“Chill out mom.” Josh said bored as he grabbed Maki’s wrist. “Come.” Maki followed obediently. Elizabeth followed not wanting to be around when their mother and father started to ‘discuss’ this.

Josh dragged Maki into Elizabeth’s room just because it was the first room that was empty. He let go of Maki’s wrist once inside and sat on the bed. Elizabeth sat beside him and rested her head on her hand. She could already hear her parents’ voices arguing. “Why did you have her come here?” She asked her brother.

“Because she’s cool!” He said excited.

“Sit.” Maki blinked at Elizabeth’s command. “S…i…t..”

“She’s not a dog, stupid!” Josh stood up. “Sit.” He said slowly and sat down. He repeated this a couple times. At first Maki found this an amusing site but then caught on that he wanted her sit down. She knelt down; she had always been a quick learner. Josh plastered a happy smile on his face and moved down next to her. “I wonder what her name is!”

“Who cares?”

“Josh.” He said ignoring his sister as he pointed to himself. “Eliz…a…beth.” He pointed to Elizabeth. Then he pointed to Maki and opened his mouth but didn’t say anything. He repeated this a few times.

Maki became very confused at this. When he said his name and pointed to himself Maki pointed to him also. “Jo…h” She repeated. The word felt funny on her tongue.

“That’s right!” He took Maki’s hand and pointed to him. “Josh.” He moved her hand to her. Again he opened his mouth but said nothing. He repeated this over and over.

Maki’s face blighted as she finally realized what they were doing and the next time he pointed to her with her hand she spoke. “Maki.”

“Mai?” Josh tried to say.

“Ma… ki.”

“Maki.” Josh turned and sneered at his sister. “Her name is Maki.”

Maki was excited now. “Josssh.” She said holding the s a little too long.

“That’s right! Jo…sh!”

“Josh.” Maki smiled.

“So that’s it? You just found her?” The mother said somewhat sadly after the story had been told.

The father nodded his head slowly and let out a tried sigh. “I couldn’t just leave her at the police station without giving her a reason. Anyway the officer told me they would get a translator in as fast as they can to talk to her. Until then told them that she could stay with us.” The mother sat down with a sigh next to her husband. “It’ll be alright Peggy.” He said and held her tightly.

“Does she have to carry the sword David?”

“She was going crazy when she found out we had it. I couldn’t help but give them back.”

“Poor thing she’s all alone.”

Well thats all I've written right now. I've been busy so dont expect anymore for a little while.
