Decode chapter 2
Disclaimer: same as last
Chloe Michaels.
Out of ALL the people Caine could have stuck me with he stuck me with Chloe Michaels.
CHLOE MICHAELS!
The one girl I HATED, other then Diana, CHLOE MICHAELS was the one I hated the most. The stuck up BRAT girlfriend of Emile Pierce, the one kid who would literally abuse her in order to get his way, I was the only one who knew that. Chloe freaking Michaels the one who put up with all of Emile's crap and then got stuck with the bastard for a year until he disappeared, THANK GOD. I walked through the town, kids were hiding, just the way I liked it, and I looked to see that everything was in order since Howard was placed in front of Ralph's, per Caine's orders, but there was no Sam. I smirked at the thought that he wimped out once the Fearless Leader took over and that he wouldn't be returning, but as I walked by the fire station I noticed that him and his two buddies were still there. I scoffed and kept walking doing rounds to see if any activity was going on when I saw Mother Mary walking with her brother and all the little kids to the beach.
The little ones ran after her in fear when they saw that I was coming, a smirk crossed my face, which was when I heard one of the kids scream, I turned to see that someone had poofed in front of them. I narrowed my eyes to see Sam come running out of the fire station as Mother Mary and Brother John covered the kids eyes when the second girl poofed as well, I rose an eyebrow, something worth while reporting to Caine, finally. I started making my way to Coates when something crossed my mind, Caine's fifteenth birthday was coming up soon, and an evil smile crept up on my face, once he was gone that meant I was in control.
Drake had been gone for an hour or so, which gave me time to decide it was safe enough for me to take a shower, hopefully, before he came back. I stripped down in the bathroom upstairs, turned on the water, and hopped in letting the warm water run down my body as I closed my eyes to relax. I sighed contently until I heard a loud bang from downstairs making me jump five feet in the air, turn, shut off the water, and stood absolutely still as I heard loud footsteps coming up the stairs.
"Do you really think this is safe?" I heard a voice ask, a girl clearly, as I tiptoed to the door and opened it slightly.
"Drake isn't here so now's a good time to start getting food from the houses."
"Dude, this really isn't a good idea." I heard another male voice say as I lightly closed the door, tiptoed back into the bathroom and pulled on the robe that was hanging from the door quickly around my soaked body, just in time too since the footsteps started walking down the hall.
"Man, someone's here."
"C'mon Sam, lets go." I heard a female voice say as I peaked out the slight opening in the door, "Hold on." The boy addressed as Sam said when another bang was heard from downstairs, the three upstairs turned quickly, "Edildo what the hell are you doing?" I heard the girl yell as the fourth member came running up the stairs, "Drake's on his way back, we need to leave, NOW!" The three upstairs ran down after the other boy as I opened the door to the bathroom, I quickly used my powers to slam the front door , and lock it as I ran after them.
"Open the door!"
"It's locked!"
"The back door! C'mon!"
I went to the kitchen and grabbed a kitchen knife as they ran, I threw it, missing Sam by an inch causing the girl to scream, "What are you doing here?" I asked coming out as the four turned, pale as ghosts, "We were just leaving." The girl said as I held my hand up, Sam got in front of them, his hands starting to glow as well, I rose an eyebrow as I heard Drake attempting to break down the front door. I turned, lowered my hand, and yanked my hand towards my body pulling the knife out of the wall, "Go, you've got five minutes." I said as the boy in front fumbled with the doorknob, Sam took over pushing the door open, and they all bolted as I unlocked the front door Drake stumbled in, "WHAT WERE THEY DOING HERE!" he yelled grabbing something at his waist, I blocked the door way, "Don't you DARE Drake Merwin." I said as he scowled at me.
Drake seemed to be a foul mood, why, I had no idea, and I wasn't about to ask why. I walked up the stairs as Drake sat at the dining table playing with the gun he had in his right hand, switching the safety on and off, on and off, on and off, over and over again. That was bound to get annoying. I went into the room to see if there were any clothes I could fit into, I opened the closet to find jeans, sweats, nice tops, and a plethora of shoes at the bottom that went with every outfit in the closet. Spoiled princess much? I pulled on a pair of baggy black pants with chains hanging off of them, a black top, and slipped on the black sandals that matched the outfit, it was the only non bright thing I could find, obviously the daughter had gone through the "I'm a Goth" stage of life.
I walked down the stairs as I saw Drake look up at me, a fleeting look of concern replaced by the stern look he usually wore, "What?" I asked as he rolled his eyes at me, "Nothing." I rolled my eyes going into the kitchen as I started hearing the safety on the gun again going on and off, on and off, on and off, "Knock it off!" I said hearing the chair he was in fall over, and before I knew it his hand was wrapped around my throat, "You want to say that again?" he hissed as I kicked him in his stomach he let go, then came at me again, this time I grabbed the same kitchen knife I had before, held my hand out, and twisted his arm behind him, the knife in my left hand pressed against his throat, "Knock it off." I said as he threw his elbow into my chin, I let go, and he pressed the gun to my chest, "I swear to god I will kill you if you try that again." He said as he watched me gulp a smirk crossed his face, "Now be a good girl and make Daddy a sandwich." He said lowering the gun, satisfied that I was afraid, and walked away again.
"Be a good girl and make Daddy a sandwich….please." I said to myself as I started getting the sandwich materials together.
I was not having a good day, first I was stuck with Chloe, and when I went to see Caine I find out Chloe's actual birthday is a week after Caine and Sam's birthday, someone had copied over Chloe's real birthday.
"How is that possible?"
"Someone put tape over the real date and replaced it with June."
"Does Chloe know?"
"No. She doesn't need to know, and Drake, if you tell her, I will kill you."
I might not have liked Chloe but that was just messed up. To make matters worse I come back and see Sam and his friends snooping, what really set me off was when Chloe locked me out, and then there was the whole "knock it off" scenario since I was annoying her by playing with the safety on my gun. As I sat at the table Chloe dropped the sandwich she had made in front of me, such an obedient girl, a smirk crossed my face as I noticed she started walking towards the front door, "Where are you going?" I asked as she looked at me, "To check on Justin." "I'm sure he's fine stay and keep me company." She turned and looked at me, "Don't kid yourself, I'd rather be dead then stay here with you." A smirk crossed my face again, "That can be arranged." Chloe rolled her eyes at me as she twisted the doorknob to open the door.
I took a bite out of the food as I watched her turn around and look at me, I noticed something cross her green eyes, fear, normally I would have smirked at it, but I looked at her waiting for her to say something, "I know we don't get along," she said as I took another bite, "but be honest with me. My birthday isn't in June is it?" I nearly choked as I coughed. How did she know that? I ran into the kitchen to get a drink, opened the fridge, and pulled out the carton of milk as she stood at the door watching me, I looked at her, "How should I know?" I asked after getting over my choking spell, "It's none of my business now is it?" Chloe looked at me then rolled her eyes, "Forget I asked." "Forgotten." I said as she took her hand off the doorknob then proceeded up the stairs, "Where are you going?" I asked as she looked at me, "To bed." She said as she went up I sat back down finishing my sandwich.
Normally pain would bring me joy, but for some odd reason, this time it did not.
HL: Thank you for the reviews! Ideas are welcome too since I get major writers block sometimes after the second chapter.
