Chapter 1
A lion-bird thingy interrupts our lunch
Nico's POV
After my parents died, all I had was my sister ,Bianca, and occasional hallucinations. Bianca and I had lived on the streets, in dark alleys and in random garages. All of that changed when we met Albert ,the lawyer. The night we met him was a very peculiar night. We had run away from our Boarding school and we were sleeping in a dark alley, that night. I woke up to the sound of something falling over, probably a trash can and the sound of alley cats fleeing. When I opened my eyes I saw a well-dressed person in the dim lamp light as if he/she had just materialized there. He/She had long dark hair that was starting to gray, dressed in a pinstriped suit with poor posture he/she looked like a vulture waiting to devour its next pray. He/She had a thin sallow face that was pale like he/she spent his/her days in dark seclusion . It scared me. So I did what I always do when I'm scared, I asked Bianca what to do.
"Bianca, who is this guy and why is he staring at me!" I whined , shaking her.
"Meh, Go away!" she said half-asleep.(A/N It's pronounced Me-aaah)
"Bianca, WAKE UP!"
"What!" she screamed.
"There's a guy , and he's creepy and…. and why's he walking towards us?" I said.
"Go back to sleep your probably hallucinating." She said sitting up and rubbing her eyes. Then she gasped. "oh my word , he's real!"
He/she spoke in a raspy voice, "Let's get down to business."
"What business?" asked Bianca uneasily.
Assuming the person was a woman, I asked, "Are you a cross-dresser?"
"Nico!" Bianca snapped, She lowered her voice "Don't be rude, you might provoke him!"
"If you will please come with me I'm a lawyer your father sent me to pick you two up." He/she said. That's when things got especially suspicious. I mean our father sent this lawyer person to come get us. I'm not stupid our father has been dead for at least nine years, and this was the 1940's so I didn't think dead people could get lawyers. So how could our father get a lawyer? And we didn't know him, also if our father was rich and alive why didn't he send for us before? And how did this lawyer know where we were? The last time we had a home we were in Washington D.C. All this was racing through my head as things usually did.
"Our father is alive?" I asked
"Sort of." The lawyer said
I didn't like the sound of that "What do you mean,' sort of'?"
"Don't worry he's fine." The lawyer said
I thought that being 'sort of' alive was not fine but I didn't voice my opinion.
Bianca asked "How do you know our father?"
"I'm an old friend of his." He stated
"I thought you were his lawyer." I said skeptically
"As I was saying." He butted in angrily
"My name is Albert and I've come to help you and your sister." The last bit he was practically yelling at us.
"Now come with me before you two cause any more trouble." He yelled. So we both followed him without a sound wondering what was going to happen to us.
******Awkward silence Awkward silence Awkward silence******
We followed him into a "Whites only" hotel and Albert told the receptionist that he had reserved a room for the night. Bianca looked suspicious when he said that, only I didn't know why. We went upstairs to our room. What I didn't know was that this was the start of a new crazy life.
Albert paid for everything, though I'm not sure how. I flopped on the bed and so did Bianca.
"Ugh…I'm tired" I said
The mattress was like a marshmallow; soft warm, and cushy. Did I forget to mention that we hadn't eaten in twenty-eight days, I was hungry! I wanted to ask Albert to feed us but he creeped me out. He might even poison us! So I asked Bianca
"Are you hungry?"
"Of course I am!" she snapped back. I could count her ribs through her shirt, what was I thinking!?
"Ask Albert for something to eat." She stated
"Um….." I didn't answer. I went to Albert "Albert we're hungry!" I said meekly. It took all the effort in me to say that, because I was scared of him.
Albert said "What would you like to eat?" I stared at him blankly. He was so normal so why did he freak me out so much? I hesitated then spoke
"Food."
"What kind of food?" he asked.
"The edible kind, not the poisonous kind."
"Well obviously!" he said exasperated at the thought that I suspected him.
"Chock Full 'O Nuts" Bianca suggested. "Please."
"Why there?" I asked
"I don't know it's the first thing that came to mind, now shut up!" she said in a course voice.
"Ok" he said "We'll go there."
******Awkward silence Awkward silence Awkward silence******
We walked into the coffee shop(A/N Dramatic music!, Chock full' O nuts theme song-Look it up!)
Bianca and I ordered sandwiches and Albert ordered coffee. We sat down and said nothing to each other. We stared at each other in awkward silence, not taking our eyes off each other. Suddenly there was a crash and I felt shards of glass all over me. I looked at the table and I saw an ugly black creature, It looked like a baby eagle crossed with a lion cub, it may sound cute but it wasn't.
"Do you see that?" I asked Bianca to make sure it wasn't real.
"No." Bianca said not really noticing the shattered glass all over the table, whatever it is it's not real."
The thing was still there on the table staring at me hungrily with its glowing red eyes.
"It's nothing Nico." he said casually brushing the glass of the table. As the thing flew away
"Tell me you don't see glass all over the table." I said.
"Nico, there is no glass." Bianca said.
"Ok good, I just wanted to make sure," I said feeling relived. Bianca looked nervously at Albert.
She pulled him aside and told him:
"My brother sometimes sees things, but he's not crazy! Try to bear with him. Just tell him what's real, and what's not."
Albert nodded and sat down, after that he never looked at me the same was again.
******Awkward silence Awkward silence Awkward silence******
After a while I didn't see the thing anymore which is good because I don't like hallucinating. Albert paid for our lunch and went home. On the way I saw a loin-bird!
"I think I see a lion-bird!" I whispered to Bianca.
"Nico, that was just your imagination" Bianca said tenderly "Maybe you should go lie down." Then she pulled me away, and when we got back to the hotel I took a nap.
Later that day
After that experience I had fewer hallucinations, because I could tell that they weren't real. It was a good thing I usually knew when something is real because if I didn't than I would be in an asylum and I don't want to be in an asylum. They are for crazy people and I'm not crazy! (Am I?) I was lying down on the bed with my head hanging over the edge of the bed, thinking about; loin-birds, asylums, life and other things in general. Bianca interrupted me by striking up a pointless conversation.
"So, what are you thinking about?" she asked
"Not much." I said
"Are you worrying about you hallucinations again?" she asked
"No, I'm not worrying, just thinking." I said plainly
"Well stop thinking and start worrying!" she joked. I didn't laugh. Her comment just made me feel sad and uncomfortable.
"Is it bothering you?"
I sighed "Am I insane?" I asked timidly because it was the troubling question, the one that had lurked in my mind since I'd started seeing things three years ago. Driving me more insane than the hallucinations themselves!
"No!" she said firmly "You're going to be just fine." I wished with all my heart that she wasn't lying. But sadly she was.
