Chapter two: the unwelcome strangers

Rosette awoke to the smell of food and the sound of her mother and farther bickering down stairs, Rosette let out a small groan and rubbed her eyes, she stood up and looked out the window to find that it was now Saturday morning Rosette let out a sigh and made her way down stairs.

"No Andrew I told you, you're not having any more beans you know what they do to you" her mother said as Rosette came into the kitchen where she found her Sister munching on some toast , her mother flipping pancakes and her farther sipping his tea while holding up a newspaper.

"But Sarah, I'm not a kid and you're not my mother, you're my wife" Rosettes farther replied

"I know dearest, but it's the rest of us who has to deal with the consequences" Rosette's mother exclaimed

"She has a point you know, dad" Chloe said lazily

"Hey, watch it young lady" her dad replied

"Baked bean are good for your heart the more you eat the more you..." Chloe's singing got interrupted when her dad finally noticed Rosette who was just standing there dumbstruck.

"Oh good morning sweet heart, wow looks like someone has dragged you through a hedge backwards" her farther exclaimed comparing to Rosette's scruffiness.

Chloe laughed "more like the living dead"

"Yes the living dead who slept with her uniform on" her mother exclaimed crossing her arms

Rosette looked down at herself and realised she had fallen asleep without putting her pyjamas on.

"Sorry mum, I'll go have a bath and change" Rosette sighed still half asleep

"No I've already made your breakfast, so eat that first" her mother said placing down a plate of pancakes, Rosettes favourites.

Rosette grabbed a chair and sat down next to Chloe before tucking into her pancakes, her mum cleared her through.

"I'm going to stay at my mothers for the day and so are you Andrew" Rosette's mother announced

"What!" Rosette, Chloe and their farther said in unison

"But why must I come Sarah? She is your mother not mine plus who will look after the children" there farther moaned

"Oh stop moaning Andrew your coming and that's that, plus Chloe is baby sitting" there mother replied a hint of frustration in her voice

"What! But I can't Ewan has invited me around his house" Chloe moaned

"You're not going anywhere young lady your are looking after you little sister and that's that" Her mum exclaimed now really angry

"I'm 13, mum" Rosette said crossing her arms

"I've had enough, my words are final!" their mother exclaimed now at boiling point

Everyone sighed and eat there breakfast in silence, surprisingly Rosette was the first to finished and made her way up stairs to run a bath.

She collected some clean clothes from her wardrobe and a clean towel and went into the bathroom where she got undressed and got in to the warm and relaxing water, Rosette let out a sigh of relief like she had just come home from a long day of work.

About half an hour or so later Rosette got out the bath and changed into her clean clothes which were a black and white top with the words "You Wish" printed on it and black skinny jeans and blue pumps, Rosette wrapped the towel around her still damp hair and placed her school uniform in the dirty washing basket and walked out of the bathroom and went into her room for the hair dryer.

As she entered her room something caught her eye, it was the golden pocket watch from last night, Rosette sighed and walked passed it and went on to drying her hair.

After she had finally finished drying her hair she put it up into a pony tail, she smiled as she saw her final result in the mirror, and looked back over at the pocket watch where she again just stood there admiring it's beauty like it had put her under a spell.

Rosette picked it up and hung it around her neck, and made her way down the stairs where she found both her parents near the front door with their coats on looking like they were leaving.

"Okay girls we're off to my mothers so be good okay" Rosettes mother said

"Alright mum" Chloe said in a cheerful tone

"I mean it Chloe if I found out you left your sister on your own…"

"No mum I'll look after Rosie" Chloe said again in a cheerful tone

"Very well, we're off" their mum said before turning around and leaving out the front door along with their farther.

Chloe waited for a moment before turning round to Rosette.

"Okay Rosie listen up I'm going around Ewan's house now, so if I found out you snitched me up you'll be in big trouble" Chloe threatened

Rosette snorted and folded her arms "Good, and don't worry I wont that means I get some peace and quiet for once" Rosette replied still in shock her own sister just threatened her.

Chloe nodded and made her escape through the back door, Rosette let out a little yelp of joy, and straight away made her way to the kitchen and grabbed a piece of cake and some popcorn with a bottle of soda, before going in to the living room, sitting down on the sofa, while placing her feet on the coffee table.

She flickered though the channels before finding the one she liked it was a horror film called "the exorcist" one of Rosettes favourites, it scared her the first time she saw it but now she just thought it was a load of rubbish.


He could sense that he was closer to what he was looking for, but it was still unclear there were a lot of things going on around him like the smell of car fumes and chips and the sound of inpatient car driver's honking their hones and the sound of humans talking, so it was hard to keep on course.


After watching about 15 minuets of the film Rosette was getting bored, so she decided she might as well get on with some home work, she let out a little sigh and made her way lazily up stairs to her room.

Rosette took out her homework booklet and got to work on the first question on the Greeks.

"Okay, question two who was the god of…?"

Rosette's reading got interrupted when the light in her room suddenly went out…

"Huh, what was that" she asked herself

She reached out to grab her lamp that was on her bedside table and switched the switch but that too didn't turn on.

Rosette started to panic, it couldn't be a power cut as the lights were on in the other houses across the street.

"Eeeeeeeeee"

Rosette gasped as she heard the front door open "Oh no a burglar" Rosette thought to herself as she heard footsteps coming upstairs.

Now Rosette was really scared what was happening? The footsteps had stopped but now she heard what sounded like low growling, not human at all, and it was coming from inside her room…


His senses had lead him into someone's house it seemed to be bare, so all he had to do was search but he still couldn't find it…just then he heard a thumping sound and a screech coming from up stairs he gritted his teeth he now knew where it was.


Rosette had let out a screech as her pen pot feel on her desk just feel on the floor by themselves, also she noticed a shadow moving behind her bookcase, someone was in the room with her and it was coming closer to her.

Rosette was now trembling and felt paralyzed from the waist down just as she caught sight of the thing in her room moving behind her wardrobe, she backed away until she felt the wall behind her.

She closed her eyes thinking to herself this was the end, until she felt someone's hand grab hers she turned to find a pair of red eyes looking back at her.

She looked closer to find they belonged to a young boy about her age, she couldn't see him clearly but she could work out his tanned skin and long purple hair and red eyes.

"Who...?"

"No time just run" he exclaimed dragging Rosette along with him down stairs and to the front door, where he tried to open it but with out much use.

"Dammit, it's locked!" the boy cursed

"The back door" Rosette suggested

The boy stopped what he was doing and smiled before making his way to the back door in the kitchen, as he passed Rosette she noticed that he was carrying two scabbards on his back and his ears were pointed.

As the strange boy managed to open the door he grabbed hold of Rosettes hand and dragged her through the door in to the garden.

"Who…what…?" Rosette couldn't get out her sentence.

"Run, Run and don't look back" the boy exclaimed as he climbed the garden fence along with Rosette which lead them to a little forest.

They carried on running before the boy finally came to a halt, slight breathless he turned around to face Rosette.

"Well where is it?" He asked holding out his hand to Rosette

"What do you mean where is it?" Rosette replied

"The brown box you dumb ass" the boy replied

"What you mean the one with a pink bow on it?" Rosette asked ignoring the boys insult.

The boy nodded, "Oh" was Rosettes response as she looked down at the pocket watch that hung around her neck.

The boy looked at her as his eyes widened as he realised what she meant.

"Y…You opened it" he exclaimed

"Yes wasn't I meant to?" Rosette asked

"NO!" the boy exclaimed getting angry

"Sorry alright, I saw it on my bed and thought it was for me" Rosette said crossing her arms.

"And say that it was a bomb, what then!?" the boy asked getting more angry

"I said I was sorry alright!" Rosette exclaimed

Just then the boy started to walk around in circles mumbling to himself tying to figure something out, Rosette could only make out a few words like "Mistress…" and "Link…"

This went on for a while until he stopped and cleared his throat.

"Girl, you are coming with me" he announced

Rosette snorted "Oh no I'm not" she exclaimed

"Oh yes you are" the boy replied taking out one of his swords from its scabbard and aimed it at Rosettes throat.

"You have no choice…"
