Two
There was no way I was ever going to be able to sleep after that. I could swear that I was in bed for hours before I finally gave up and decided to explore. Since we got here in the middle of the night, I never really got a good look around. I got out of bed and walked out of my room to the hall way. I have to admit, it was a bit creepy looking. It was really dark and had some paintings of people so old they are probably dead now. Oh, and not to mention this strange feeling that something, or someone, is dead nearby.
As I made a mental note to ask Andrew about the dead feeling I have, I walk down the hall and curse quietly at how much noise I am making. I climbed down the stairs and went to the kitchen to see if there is like a flashlight in there because I really don't feel comfortable walking around a creepy mansion at 5 in the morning. When I get there I stood transfixed, amazed by how beautiful a kitchen is able to look.
Its not the type of beauty that most people would want, its more of that it has this essence of beauty. It looks as though it is a hundred years old and has such ancient appliances that it makes me wonder if they even work at all. I give myself a mental shake, thinking about how stupid I am being, that I am actually standing in a kitchen at five in the morning thinking it is beautiful. I go on the hunt for a flashlight.
After opening about a thousand cabinets I give up. I turn around and walk right into what feels like a wall, but a little softer. I scream at the top of my lungs.
" Damn it Chloe, its just me," a deep voice practically growls.
Well, that sure shut me up.
" Derek, w-w-w-what are y-y-you doing he-e-re?" Damn my shuttering!
" Well, I was about to ask you the same thing."
" I-I-I-I-," I took a deep breath, trying to calm down, " I came down to look for a flash light, to see the house."
" At five thirty in the morning?" he asks, sounding like he is mad.
Had I really been looking for a flashlight for a half our? Wow.
" Well, don't go getting mad at me for this Derek, I thought we were over that."
" You're ignoring my question." He said it just so plainly, like he expected me to answer him, which, of coarse, I was because I was so not in the mood for a fight.
" Well, there was a ghost and we talked then I sent him away. I couldn't fall back to sleep so I came down to explore. I was looking for a flashlight, couldn't find one and then walked into you. Are happy mom, or are you going to ground poor Chloe," I said, my tone drowned with sarcasm.
But, lucky me, he just grunted and walked away. I thought that Derek and I had gotten closer, and I still think we did, after being stuck with each other, walking for miles, but I guess I forgot one little detail: Derek is Derek. The only person he cares about is Simon and I would be better off to remember that.
I gave up on exploring and decided just to watch some TV. It got my mind off of things for about a total of three seconds before my mind started drifting away.
I thought about the last couple of days and realized that just three weeks ago I was in class learning about how to write a screenplay. I cant decide weather I would prefer to go back to my old life where the biggest crisis was who I was going to the dance with, or keep this new fun and exciting life where my biggest crisis is weather or not I am going to be captured by crazy scientists who want to kill me. They both have there ups and downs. I mean, if I had my old life, I would have lived normally and became a director. But if I had this new, adventurous life, I would have lived with seeing ghosts, having a sorcerer boyfriend, and being chased by crazy people. Oh, and speaking of Simon, I don't even know if he really likes me, I know he holds my hand and all, but what is that supposed to mean?! And not to mention that we are running for our lives and having a boyfriend should be at the very bottom of my priority list.
I didn't realize that during my mental breakdown on of the problems came to sit next to me…
" Hay Chloe, are you ok? You have this distant look on your face," Simon asked, sounding worried.
I shrugged and tried my hardest to put a "happy Chloe" face on.
" I'm just thinking," I said, trying not to sound too gloomy.
" Well," he said, perking up, " Andrew made breakfast, so come on."
He got up, grabbed my hand, and started to pull me towards the kitchen. When I got there, I saw that every one was up. Derek was already stuffing his face with food, Tori was looking at her food like it was a disease, and Andrew was reading the paper.
Simon pulled me down next to him and gave me a plate of food. On it was some eggs that looked burnt, crispy bacon, and a piece of buttered toast. In other words, it looked like heaven!!!!! I cant remember the last time I actually had a nice, hot meal, weather it is burnt or not.
I immediately started scarffing down every thing that was on my plate while Tori and Simon already started bickering about who knows what.
This was going to be a long day.
Sooooo, dat was it. review please and i will write more. i already know who
