"Well Neoptolemus, Nyx have you decided what you are going to do once it is time for you to leave?" Mother Migton asked. They were sitting in her office after being caught out partying yet again. "This must be the second time this month, why can't you behave more like Alalia she is well behaved, polite and courteous…"
"She's a bitch!" interrupted Nyx.
"With a greasy stick stuck up her ARSE!!!" added Neo
CRACK!!! Down came Mother Migton's ruler down on Neo's and then Nyx's knuckles. She had struck so hard that it had drawn a thin line of blood.
"Doesn't that usually hurt" whispered Nyx to Neo
"Yeah, it does" he said back.
"Um Mother Migton that didn't really hurt" said Nyx
"What?"
"It didn't hurt"
Mother Migton looked horror struck as she said "Two night's in the basement."
"I wonder why she acted like that, any ideas Neo?" Nyx asked sitting down on her usual mat.
"Nope I mean we've freaked her out before but she's never acted that bad before what could it have been?" Neo asked sitting on his mat which was right next to Nyx's.
They had met down here they had both been caught swearing at the P.E. teacher when they were both 10.
FLASHBACK SEQUENCE
"Alright kids" said the P.E. Teacher walking into the gym. "This is Nyx, now she's new here so you kids be nice to her. Just jump in line there."
"Okay kiddies (collective groan) today we'll be doing try-outs for the Football/Soccer team (collective whiny groan) so lets get out there. Nyx you can be the goalie."
"Um…miss can I not be a goalie, I have bad hand-eye co-ordination?" asked Nyx
"Of corse you can't. Now get out to that goal"
"Hey!" Came the voice of a young Neo. "You can't make her do something she doesn't want to you fucking doosh-bag."
"What did you call me?"
"You heard him" said Nyx "He called you a 'fucking doosh-bag'"
The P.E. teacher's mouth just hung open at these words.
"Nice one Neo that'll earn you a day in the basement," Neo's friend Damon whispered.
"You two to the headmistress's office this instance," the P.E. teacher called pointing to the doors leading to the hallway.
"Hey, listen thanks for sticking up for me," Nyx said she and Neo were sitting in the basement which they had been sentenced to spend a night in for swearing at a teacher.
"That's cool; I've been itching for a reason to go off at that old bat for ages," Neo replied, he was laying on his back staring at the ceiling.
"Fair enough." Said Nyx looking over at him, "So how long have you been here?"
"As long as I can remember, so it must have been a while." He said turning to face her, "8 more years and I'm outta here. Shit I don't care where I end up as long as it's far away from this stupid fucking orphanage."
"Yeah, I haven't even been here a day and I can't wait to get away from this hell hole"
END FLASHBACK SEQUENCE
"Yeah those were the days", said Neo stretching out. "Well, I s'pose we may as well catch up with some sleep while we're here."
"Nah… I know before we leave we should do something to freak out the penguin, I mean something to get her for all the shit she's given us in the past." She said looking across at him, "What do ya think?"
"Sounds like fun. What do ya have in mind?"
"I dunno"
"I have an idea"
"What?"
"Let's sleep on it" he said closing his eyes and turning away from her.
"Oh Neo" she said shaking him "Come on, wake up"
"Meh" he mumbled back and brushed her hand away.
"Come on" she said standing up, "Do I have to kick you to get you up?"
"Would you enjoy it?"
"No"
"Well neither would I, so let me get back to what I'm good at"
"Mmmmmmmmeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhh." She said stamping the ground
"Why are you always so energetic at night time?" he said turning to look up at her.
"Why aren't you?"
"Coz I'm not"
"Well I am so meeeeh" she said poking her tongue out at him.
"Oh, meeeeh back"
2 DAYS LATER
"I hope your time in the basement was used wisely?" asked Ms. Migton when they finally got out.
"Oh. We used our time very wisely Ms. Migton" said Nyx smiling at her. "Didn't we Neo?"
"Huh?" said Neo turning to Nyx and received an elbow in the gut, "Oww. Oh Yeah. Very wisely Ms. Migton" he said also smiling.
"Well that's good I hope you can hold in those parting urges until the end of the week when you both turn 18 and get out of my hair".
"Is that why you're going grey?" asked Neo pointing at her hair.
"What!?" growled Ms. Migton
"RUN!!!!" cried Nyx bolting down the corridor and up the stairs with Neo close behind.
"Nice one" she said sarcastically when they had made it outside.
"What?"
"Were you trying to get another few days in the basement?"
"No"
"Then why'd you say that?"
"Too get up the penguins nose, okay! Why else would I do that?" he said tossing his arms in the air, "It's not like I was showing off in front of you".
"Okaayy…. Sheash" she said leaning against a wall while crossing her arms. "God this place gives me the shits".
"Don't worry" said Neo leaning next to her, "I feel the same way".
"Yeah, well that's obvious" she said turning away from him.
NEXT WEEK
"IT'S FINALLY OUR LAST DAY IN THIS CRAP HEAP!!!!!" screamed Nyx running into Neo's room.
"JEBUS!!!!!!" cried Neo as he jumped 3 feet in the air, landed on the cold floor with just his sheet on (by the way it's summer) and glared at Nyx as she once again interrupted his sleep. "Why can't you knock first!?"
"Soooooooorryyyyyy" She said turning to leave
"No. Don't do this again Nyx. Please. I'm sorry." He said standing up. "Give me a moment to change, okay?"
"Alright I'll be outside"
A few minutes later Neo came out, "So what are we doing today?" he said
"Leaving of corse!"
"Ha ha. But seriously what are we going to do til then?"
"We? Sorry but I've got a lot to pack, so I can't do anything until that's done."
"What?! Then what are you doing here waking me up, I thought you packed last night like I did" he said dumbfounded
"Nah, I'm not as efficient as you"
"And you call me the lazy one. Why didn't you pack last night, you're always super energised at that time, as for me for some reason I was aching all over and I still did it?"
"What was wrong?"
"I honestly don't know, it felt like every bone in my body was breaking and then reshaping without a splint or cast. It was really weird and painful".
"Are you alright now?"
"Yeah. I still hurt a little but I can live with it."
"Do you think you should see a doctor about it?"
"Nah not yet, but if it happens again I'll be sure to get it checked out".
"Okay then, I'll call you later when I'm done and we could head into town and see if there are any gigs on."
"Cool, I'm going back to bed until then."
"That Nyx?" asked Damon walking out of the shower.
"Yeah, she's still not ready to go"
"I see. You know you should hang around for a few days man"
"Come on I'll just be in town till you're b'day and then I'll take you out for some fun"
"That's all well and good but its two days and your only leaving today because you were found today"
"Well in that case I should have left ages ago. Come on I have had enough of this place, just like you".
"Let's see, that's all my shirts."
There was a knock at the door and Alalia answered it. Mother Migton stood on the other side. "Excuse me Alalia, but I need to talk to Nyx alone for a moment."
"In trouble again Nyx?" Said Alalia walking out of the room.
"FUCK OFF SLUT BITCH!!" Cried Nyx after her.
"NYX! Watch your mouth!"
"Why should I? I'm leaving today."
"Actually we have found some family members of your's, and they have requested we hold on to you so they can come and claim you."
"Family? Wha… I don't have a family. If I did I wouldn't be in this shit hole." She exclaimed angrily.
"Watch your language young lady." Mother Migton said. "You have a family and the will be here in four days to collect you. So you might as well unpack."
"If I have to stay in this shit-hole any longer I am staying in the basement, away from that bitch." Nyx stated pointing towards the door.
"Fine if that's the way you're going to be." Mother Migton said standing up abruptly and opening the door so suddenly Alalia who had been listening at the door fell on to the floor with and undignified "OOMPH!!"
Nyx finished throwing her clothes into her duffel and grabbing her knapsack and stormed down to the basement, making a beeline for her usual mat near the back of the room.
"NYX open this damn door!!" Neo yelled banging on the room where Nyx usually migrated when they weren't hanging out.
The door was suddenly jerked open and there stood Alalia with and horrible grin on here face.
"Oh, hello Neo, if you're looking for Nyx your too late she's already gone; her family just came by to pick her up."
"Wha…what family?" Neo asked confused.
"Oh her family just found out where she's been hiding all these years, apparently she's a runaway. Well cya," Alalia said closing the door and walking off in the direction of the cafeteria.
'How could she lie to me I've always been honest with her and she's lied to me all this time. Why would she do that? Bitch!' Neo thought to himself as he trudged his way back to his room, when he got back to his room he collapsed on his bed, just as the pain began again.
4 DAYS LATER
"Nyx your family is here to pick you up," Mother Migton said shaking Nyx's shoulder gently to wake her up.
"Fuck off, I'm tired." Nyx said rolling back over and trying to go back to sleep. Almost instantly she felt somebody else enter the basement.
"Mother Migton, we really must be going," the person who had entered the basement said. Nyx could feel something about her presence didn't feel entirely normal or even like anything she had ever felt before.
"Who are you?" Nyx demanded sitting up into a more defensibly position.
"I'm your sister, Selene." She said extending her hand towards me. "It's good to see you again and you've grown up so well."
"I don't even remember you," Nyx said standing up and grabbing her knapsack and her duffel. Nyx followed Selene out to the parking lot where a Black Mercedes Benz SLR McLaren was parked.
"Sweet ride Selene," Nyx said running her fingers over the car as if it was the most precious jewel in the world.
"Hop in Nyx, but I'm driving," Selene said as Nyx headed towards the drivers door.
"I was only gonna pop the trunk so I could put my stuff there." Nyx replied opening the door and pressing the button which popped the trunk. After putting her things in the trunk she slid into the passenger seat and waited for Selene to get in.
"Well let's hit the road." Selene said sliding into the drivers seat, starting the car and driving off into the growing darkness.
