"Man!That was torture."said David as they left school and headed towards the bus.
"And on the first day of high school. Really?!"said Mona
"You whiners."mocked Zoe.She and I chuckled.
"Humph!"said Mona.
"Come on or we'll miss the bus!"yelled Kylie running but found herself knelt over holding her stomach in pain.Someone had punched her in the gut.She looked to find Sarah Logan.
"You really thought you could embarrass me and get away with?"she said her voice high,her right hand still balled into a fist.She managed to look behind me and saw Sarah's boyfriend and his pals blocking my friends from coming to her aid they were leading them to the bus entrance,and warned them to keep quite or they'll hurt me even more.She was pissed.Kylie looked back at Sarah who was smiling.
"How does it feel Kylie? Ha! Not good huh?"Said Sarah her smile widened.Kylie began to stand she tried to push me back down but managed to keep her balance.
"Babe!Lets go!" yelled Sarah's boyfriend,and headed on inside the bus followed by Sarah,but before she entered the bus she turned and said,"Enjoy your walk home Kylie." Entered the bus, and drove off.
Damn!Not good, she thought,her phone rang.
"Kylie!?You OK!?You bleeding?!Are you dying?!"yelled Zoe from the other line not even taking a breath.
"I'm fine.And no I'm not bleeding or dying. And Zoe....breathe."she said,heard her take a shuddering breath then whine hey and David answered.
"I'm sorry Kylie I should have help you instead of being such a wuss."
"Its alright.It was bound to happen anyway."said Kylie remembering this morning.
"Yeah.......you're right but you got hurt and I'm feel guilty because of it.I still should have helped anyway."said David.
She sighed "I don't blame you any of you.Its fine.I'll call you guys when I get home.OK?"
"Alright bye."
"Bye."And hung up.
"Alright time t-"something rustled in the brush and stopped her from finishing.She gulped she felt a pair of eyes staring a her.She want to turn but was afraid.
Screw this!!! She thought loudly and start to run.
She slowed down when she was about a block away from home she looked up.Its was almost dark.The sun begun to set the sky was red,the clouds seemed to make the once blue sky into a red ocean.
Ohhhhh NO Becca is gonna kill me! she thought.
Becca wasn't a fan of Kylie staying out after dark.Overprotective seems to describe it extemly well. She gave a half smile at Becca being overprotective and wondering if that's what her real mother would have done.
She was stopped in her tracks when something ran in front of her and caught a glance of black fur.
Crap a black cat maybe,but the thing was to big for a cat,probably a dog.She shuddered feeling a pair of eyes watching her and turned.
"Who's there!?"she yelled hoping nothing would come out of nowhere and scare the living cap out of her.A cold sweat ran down her neck.Every cell in her in her body told her to run,but her legs couldn't move like in her dreams. She took a breath.
"I'm not dealing with this crap,"She hissed under her breath turned and ran all the until she reached the house and slammed the door shut.Panting she thought,What the hell is going on today!?
"Kylie,"a warm voice came from the living room suddenly taking all her fears away as if it was spring time a bliss of warmth came from that voice, Becca,"is something wrong sweet heart?"
"Yeah! It was just a cat that spooked me." She said hearing Becca chuckled at her being spooked she rolled her eyes and smiling at the same time.She made her way to the living room finding her sitting on the couch with the remote in Beccas hand,food and snacks was on the little table in front of her.Kylie couldn't help but look around as if it as the first time.And it was once.She had a flash back of when she first entered this house
"Kylie come on in its okay,"said Becca holding out she adopted me because of what happened to my parents which I have no memory of her hand.I grabbed it I can feel the warmth of her hand even beneath my violet color gloves.
The house was yellow with leafless trees covered in snow that will soon turn into a sea of green.We entered the house the hallway had carpet floors and pictures of flowers and gardens but there as one that stood out a castle I stood still and looked at it as if waiting for something to move and say hello "You like it Kylie?"asked Becca.
I nodded still looking at the painting.
"A friend gave it to me many years ago.Any way come on lets see the rest of the house okay?"I nodded and looked away from that odd castle.The living room was like a sea of colors the window curtains were a light pink,walls were sky blue,photos of people smiling."Okay lets skip the rest of the tour and go straight to your room,"said Becca leading me upstairs and when we entered my room it was something I didn't expect.
The wall were a bright purple,the bed covered in a blue comforter and black blanket at the end of it,sky bright blue lights shown on each side of the ceiling forming a square it was beautiful,a single window was showing outside,a world of white snow.
"This is your room Kylie you like it?"
"Yes!",I found myself yelling it out and blushed a little. "Great."Becca squealed and gave me a bear hug that I gladly accepted.
So this is going to be my new life? Ha. I'm gonna love it here,I thought.
I slowly found myself being pulled back into the present from someone calling my name.
"Kylie? Earth to Kylie! You there?!"said Becca waving her hand in front of my face bringing me out of my trance.
"Yeah?"
Becca gave me the really look and sat on the couch.
"Come on or your gonna miss the movie." she said patting the couch for Kylie to sit down.
******{<.>}******
Kylie stretches.Her back sore from sitting down for 4 hours watching movies.She had long forgotten this morning .
"Alright time to go to bed little one." said Becca in a tiring
"I'm not that short.I'm only 4'5." I muttered. Becca must have heard it cause she chuckled.
"Night' sweetie." and kissed Kylies forehead and when to her room.
Moments later Kylie followed and entered her room. A room that barely change from 10 years ago accept the small black rug on the floor on the left of her bed,and the pictures that filled the walls of the years of living here.
She collapsed on her bed in her pajamas.
She stared at the ceiling remembering this morning,the punch in the gut,and having to call Zoe and the others.
CRAP I FORGOT TO CALL ZOE!!! She bolted up and grabbed her phone and dailed Zoe's number.
The line began to ring and Zoe answered the phone.
"Hey! Zoe sorry for-"
"JESUS!!!Kylie do you have any idea how close I was to calling the cops?!"yelled Zoe from the other line.
Kylie winced from the ringing in her ears,"Uhhhh~..... Yes?Anyway sorry I just forgot that's all.I-" She winced at the burning of her scar.
"Kylie? You alright?"said Zoe worried,"its your scar isn't it?"
Kylie signed she can lie to Zoe about it,but she'll see right through it she know her all to well.
"Yeah.It is."she said and found her heart racing,hands trembling tightening her grip on the phone.
Zoe sighed. "Alright then its getting late you should get to bed.I'll call David and Mona.Okay?"
"Okay.Bye Zoe."
"Bye,"and she hung up.
Kylie dropped the phone on the shelf near her bed,and slammed face first on her pillow.
How can this day get any worse?Test.Getting punched.The scar.What the hell.And..........that odd presence.......that dog or cat whatever is was its like I've been through it before seen it before......but where.......when?
She turned until she was facing the ceiling.Sharing at the bright purple wall that has only somehow became a shade darker.A million things were going though her head.And her scar continued to hurt.
Moments later her eyes began to become heavy until her heard became clear and the pain in her shoulder began to dull.She fell into a blissful sleep.
While she slept a stranger crept through the window. His pale skin reflected the moonlight,a hoody shadowed his face his robe waved at his ankles. His body was concealed but his sword was visible, strapped to his back. He'll regret it later just being here with her put their very lives in danger but he couldn't stop himself
He looked at her,If only she knew,He thought.
But knew better then to bring the past rushing towards her.It was best if she is never apart of it.Its safer that way.
He saw that she wasn't covered and the chilly night wind made it was to her.she shivered.He came to her side and covered her in the black blanket that was at the end of her bed.And she snuggled into it smiling.
He smiled,My little Kylie you've grown so much these past 10 years.You look so much like Mom. Black hair,peach skin you even have her round face and smile,His smile faded when he remembered why he was here.And left her side.
But turned one last time,I promise that you won't have to suffer like I have to.I want you to have a normal human life.I don't care about some prophecy I'll protect you from that world.This is what's best for you.School,friends I want you to have the things I couldn't .I want you happy in this life.
He turned and headed towards the window.
Goodbye my little Kylie.
