Rash Decisions

I stumbled backwards as Izzy dragged Marguerite out the door. “What is going on?” I hollered after them while trying to catch myself on whatever object I could grasp.

“Izzy, please! What has gotten into you?” Marguerite demanded. Already their voices were fading down the hall.

I had no clue what to do. I contemplated staying in my flat and waiting for their return but for once logical judgment escaped me. Instead I tried to quickly follow after them.

As I shuffled down the hallway, I made out the faint sound of their voices. Before I knew it my foot hit the abrupt edge of a step. The voices ascended up. Clutching the cool wall, I took each step slowly.

Right when I was sure the landing had to be just another step away, I heard the piercing scream of a woman.

Panic swept over me, as I lunged forward. Tracing my hand along the wall as I ran towards the commotion. Nothing stopped me until I ran straight into a hard surface that toppled over upon my impact.

“Pierre!” John’s voice gasped in shock.

    I’m totally lost now, and I’m involved in writing this! Is this before or after John winds up in Izzy’s flat with Renard? Or did they all go to Izzy’s? But I thought Izzy lives below Pierre. Ooh, I am so lost.

    Lost, as THX said…this is blurry, but it’s not a bad thing…I mean blurry the way it would be when you’re a character in the story, like Marguerite or Pierre, who’s really lost in confusion, or like Izzy, who doesn’t know what to do…and now I’m rambling, time for Emma to shut up….SEQUEL !

    well, i guess there’s something going on that involves all of our characters at once, but like the latter comments describe, blurry and confused comes to mind. although, everything must be confusing for pierre, seeing as he cant see whats going on.

    sorry for the confusion… this is suppose to be in Izzy’s flat after the bad guys have threatened Renard… and Pierre has unintentionally run into Pablo thus knocking him over…

    Okay, sequel done, and it was kind of fun once I figured where everyone was supposed to be. The situation doesn’t seem to be getting any better. Thanks for the additional chaos.

    I did another sequel, cause I know I set up a situation but left it too open.
