ok so this is a chapter about the relationship between Sadie and The Grim reaper. Hope you like...
One year old Sadie Kane watched in awe from her crib as her mother put away her clothes in her dresser. The toddler wasn't looking at her mother, oh no, she was looking at what was behind her. A black shadow towered over Ruby Kane but she didn't seem to notice it. Little Sadie tilted her head, confused. Sadie pointed at the figure, trying to warn her mother. Ruby looked over her shoulder, trying to figure out what her daughter was pointing at but only to find a purple wall, nothing else. Ruby turned back to Sadie.
''What is it sweetheart?'', she asked, confused. Sadie just kept pointing behind her, her face growing with frustration. The figure put a boney finger to its lips, signaling Sadie to keep quiet. Sadie, as though in a daze, copied the motion. Ruby raised an eyebrow, confused on how a one year old could do that. Out of nowhere Ruby felt as though someone was breathing down her neck. She turned around, ready to summon her staff to find no one there, just a plain purple wall. Then out of nowhere an invisible force pushed her back, making her crash into the bars of Sadie's crib. Ruby gasped, eyes wide with terror, heart beating fast. She scooped up Sadie and ran out of her room, terrified. Sadie looked over her mother's shoulder to see the shadow smiling and waving. Sadie gave the Grim reaper a toothless smile and a small wave of goodbye.
Six year old Sadie Kane watched from the couch as her grandparents looked frantically everywhere for her. They kept running pass her, not noticing her at all. Sadie watched with interest as her grandparents ran outside to the back yard, yelling her name.
Just an hour ago Sadie's father and brother, Carter, left for Egypt, leaving Sadie behind.
Sadie cried after he father, her grandparents tried to comfort her but she just screamed at them to leave her alone. And so they did. Sadie sat on the couch for an hour before her grandparents started looking for her.
''You invisible child.'', a voice whispered besides her.
Sadie looked to find a man wearing a black cloak sitting besides her. She smiled at the man. The man smiled back.
''Why are you crying my dear?'', the man asked, noticing the dried tears on her cheeks.
"My daddy left me.'', Sadie's lip started to tremble again.
The man scooped up the girl in his arms, giving her a hug. Sadie buried her head into the man's chest.
''You'll be fine my dear.'', the man whispered into her brown hair. Sadie just nodded.
He let go of the young girl, giving her a warm smile.
''I'll see you soon my dear.'', the man promised, already disappearing.
Sadie waved goodbye,'' Bye Uncle John.''
The grim reaper waved goodbye.
Sadie's grandparents came barging in.
''There you are Sadie!'', her grandmother yelled, pulling the young girl into her arms.
''Where have you been young lady?'', her grandfather asked.
Sadie gave him a sheepish smile,'' I've been here the whole time.''
''And that's why you should- Sadie are you even listening to me?''
Ten year old Sadie Kane snapped her attention away from Stanley Evens, (the boy she had a crush on at the time), and looked at the man sitting across her in the booth. She slightly nodded her head and picked up the menu that was placed in front of her five minutes ago, avoiding his eyes. He continued talking,'' So any way …''
Sadie took a peek at Stanley over her menu, hoping her uncle didn't notice. He did.
''Young lady who are you looking at?'', he asked.
"Nobody.'', Sadie answered, cheeks turning slightly pink.
''Are you sure?'', he asked. Sadie meets his eyes, blue against blue. She nodded, taking a peek of Stanley over her uncle' shoulder. Uncle John looked over his shoulder, spotting Stanley. He chuckled, looking back at his niece.
''Little Sadie has a crush on a boy. How cute.''
Sadie's cheeks turned bright red.
His eyes turned hard,'' You know it wont work out Sadie. Not with him or anybody.''
Sadie sighed sadly,'' I know. It's just a crush.''
Her uncle nodded and stood up from the booth, holding out his hand for Sadie to take.
''Come on. I got to take you home before your grandparents realize your missing.''
Sadie took his hand and both of them walked out of the restaurant, disappearing into the night.
