After the Events
Anjel closed the book. She sat quietly letting the information sink in. "So I guess that's it… the end of 'The End'." She said sadly. She turned to her younger sister Aria who glanced at her uneasily. "Hey Anjel I'm done with these stories. I think you take them a bit too seriously." She said making an attempt to get up.
Still she watched as her older sister frowned. "There's got to be more to this story though, I mean he wasn't even in it." Anjel mumbled. She turned to see Aria look at her fearfully.
"They, they aren't real Anjel. Remember what mom said?" she asked glancing at her mothers' room.
Anjel nodded. "Yeah you're right… I'm going to go to bed. I've got a really big week ahead of me right?" she said messing up her sisters' hair as she left the room. Aria nodded. "Yes, you do. Don't forget to take pictures and stuff okay?" she said going to bed. Anjel smiled before closing the door.
When she got to her own room she rushed to the computer to check her email. "Please, please write back…" she prayed signing on. Scanning the screen her heart suddenly stopped.
Dear Anjel,
I really shouldn't be answering his email, in yet you've written me 45 times this month alone and I'm afraid for you. I looked you up and I've decided you are not my enemy, just a determined fan of mine. Oh, have fun on your trip but remember this warning, like an associate told me before he sailed away, 'I really suggest that you don't rock the boat…' and don't look for me, you will find those who will start to watch you in return.
With all due respect-
She looked away too nervous to read the rest. She smiled noticing he had left an important clue in his message.
'Have fun on your trip… don't look for me'
"He lives somewhere on the east coast, probaly in New York near his editor." she smiled too excited to move. After rereading the letter and saving it, she turned to pack the rest of her bag.
Her mother sat in the door way with Aria. "Anjel, what are you doing online this late?" she asked angrily.
Anjel glanced at her sister and then her mother. She bit hr bottom lip as her mother walked over to the computer. Thinking quickly she turned it off before she could read the letter.
"I'm going to bed. I just had to check to make sure Denisha remembered not to bring her laptop." She lied.
Her mother glared at her before leaving the room with Aria. Still Anjel smiled. "I don't care what she thinks, I will find him. Even if that means leaving the group for a while." She thought to herself.
She quickly packed the rest of her things and called Denisha who couldn't believe it either. In fact she didn't.
"Anjel, go to bed, we talked about this remember? Kenny and I both agreed, you've lost it and this trip will help you find it." She said half listening.
Anjel smiled and sighed wishing she had more proof. "Fine, and if I prove you both wrong…?" she asked.
Denisha thought for a while. "I'll give you 50 dollars of my spending money." She laughed, but Anjel agreed, "It's a bet then!" she said hanging up and climbing up to her bed before her friend could say anymore.
Quickly she shut her window, locked the door, put on a long pair of socks, and placed a small cup of water and wasabi on her desk, in case of emergency. She had a big day ahead of her and she didn't want a 'volunteer' to help start it for her.
