Chapter 2: The Lady
*****
The Sly One droved for two days.
"Where are we?" asked Opal who just woke up. She looked out of the gap.
"We are to bring you to your new home" said The Smart One.
"What do you mean?" asked Opal who was scared.
"You are to live with your mother from now on" said The Slow One.
Opal looked through the gap once more and remembered that she saw this place in her dream a month ago. In her dream she saw dead trees, no houses expect for a barn, a tiny stream, no animals, no civilization. When they got to the barn a lady came out wearing a short blue dress with long black hair. The Sly One dragged Opal to The Lady.
"Hi Ma'am, here is the brat" said The Sly One.
"Thank you Mr. Sly you guys may go now" said the Lady.
As they left The Lady dragged Opal to the barn & said "Hi Opal" in a rude voice.
"Why am I here?" asked Opal.
"Your dad and I made a plan. He would have you from when you were born until you were eight" said The Lady.
"But I'm nine" said Opal.
"Yeah I know I phoned your dad when you turned eight but he didn't want me to have you so I had to get the guys to get you" said Opal's Mom Hazel.
"I know that part" said Opal as her mom dragged her upstairs in the barn and locker her in & left.
The Sly One ran back and knocked on the door & Hazel said "What Sly?"
The Sly One was breathing deeply and said "Blair's coming he's two blocks away"
Hazel ran upstairs and said "Get up now" to Opal. She got up and ran downstairs and saw The Sly One and he said "Come on Brat hurry up", as Opal was still coming downstairs.
When she was on the main floor, The Sly One dragged her into Hazel's car again before Blair got closer.
Again they drove for a couple of days it was to hard to count. Opal couldn't keep up with the Night and Day. They reached Hazel's hometown Nottingham.
