So for having EOC's all week I have done pretty well in doing this story. :D Hope you enjoy this new chapter.
Off in a dark underground tunnel lay a young boy no more than about sixteen, all he did was play with two puppets.
The dark redheaded boy sat there all day and night alone in the dark mumbling nonsense while making the two puppets fight.
He was to be alone forever in the darkness.
On this day though he thought what if he could get out.
He wanted more than anything to get out of the dark hell he was cast into by his so called "family".
If you were his family though you couldn't have blamed them, he betrayed their trust and almost cost them their lives.
He didn't care though. All he did was act, think, and breathe for himself.
He dropped the two puppets and started to dig with only his hands.
Digging and digging until his hands were numb.
He couldn't bleed so this was the second most painful thing of self inflection.
Once he got to the top a beam of bright sunlight came down.
He slithered back into the dark hissing.
Now all he had to do was wait for the night. He grabbed the two puppets and started again.
He grinned a grin worthy of the Cheshire Cat.
Once he was out they would pay, one by one. First off would be these two he thought.
Once he was out Gregory and Dawn would be the first he would get too.
He'd start off with Gregory and work his way to Dawn slowly but surely they would both suffer dearly.
They were the reason he was here. If it wasn't for Dawn he wouldn't be here, if it wasn't for her he could have succeeded in the death of his aunt, uncle, and cousins. If only she never existed...
He flung the two puppets into the light and saw them for what they were.
Worthless replications of what he'll do to actual people. They were worthless trash to him.
Now he can only sit and wait for night, sit and wait...
Dawn awoke with a strange overwhelming feeling of danger. Maybe it was just her strange dreams of a young boy in the dark who always looked up with no face.
Either way she just felt something was going to happen.
She dismissed her gut feeling for the day to go and get some breakfast. She walked down her stairs and into the kitchen to grab a bowl of cereal.
Selene was nowhere to be seen. She had spent the night with Anna. Poor Gregory, Dawn thought.
After finishing her breakfast she went to take a shower and change into some casual clothes for the day.
The door opened up and in came Selene, Anna not far behind with Rudolph and Tony and finally Gregory.
"I guess today is spent here?" Dawn asked heading for the couch.
"Well originally Anna was walking me home then Mr. Emo said an elder should go then Rudolph protested as to why couldn't he and since Tony was over he sided with him." Selene said with a tired expression on her face.
"Oh, well I could like make cookies or something for everyone." Dawn said getting up.
"No its ok we had a very big and strange breakfast." Anna told her.
Once everyone got settled on the couch a battle began for the remote.
Dawn sighed and leaned onto Gregory.
"Hey are you tired or something?" He asked with an eyebrow raised.
"I haven't gotten much sleep lately..." Dawn said thinking about her dream.
The image of the boy without a face came to her mind and she shuddered.
"Me either, I keep having a recurring dream." He told her laying his head on top of hers. "Exactly how mine is." Neither one told the other about their dreams. For one Dawn didn't want to experience the stupid cliché of them both having the same dream. As for Gregory he just didn't want to tell Dawn about his dream involving her being killed in the most brutal way that he always woke up in a cold sweat.
Dawn noticed in the fighting the remote was thrown onto her lap. She grabbed and started to look though the movie channels.
She landed on an old Disney movie from when she was younger and decided to click that.
For Rudolph and Anna it caught their attention. While Selene was in the preteen stage of thinking anything she watched when she was younger was "uncool" while Dawn was in the stage of her life thinking of the world as a little kid avoiding adulthood rearing its head in as most teenagers do. *
Tony had seen the movie but decided it was ok since it wasn't bad and Gregory just sat and contently watched it.
Afterwards everyone sat at the kitchen table for lunch that Dawn and Selene made by using the oven.
"Why is mine gray and Rudolph's Green?" Tony said poking his food.
"It's just the food color Selene put in, see mine's purple." Dawn said pointing at her food. "I promise it isn't poisoned I did most of the cooking."
"What did Selene do?" Gregory asked. "Food dye and stir." Dawn said. "Should have known. OW!" Gregory said as Selene had kicked him from under the table.
"Little brat." He mumbled shoving his face full of the food.
"Nice to know any meal we all have together will not go without something happening..." Dawn said shaking her head.
"Blame him!" "Blame her!" Selene and Gregory shouted at the same time pointing at each other.
"Why do I have a feeling you two made breakfast strange..." Dawn said looking towards Anna who nodded her head.
"He said I was a free loader!" "After you called me a no good stinking ex-vampire!" Gregory growled back at her.
Vampires were still a touché subject for the Sackville-baggs, Selene still didn't understand that.
In fact Dawn thought Selene never would, Selene always thought being a vampire was the coolest thing ever and was disappointed when they became humans.
Dawn had to admit she was disappointed too until she saw them, she thought she would never see them again.
Dawn watched Selene and Gregory go at it still. She suddenly had that overwhelming feeling of danger again but decided it was best to think about it later.
Not in the shower later though, that would not end well she'd probably feel as if a killer was in the house.
She smiled to herself. Then some blue food hit her.
She got it off her face and looked up to the shocked faces.
She grabbed her purple food and threw it at Selene. Then they all began a colorful food fight in the dining room.
Dawn only hoped this feeling she had would go away soon with the dreams.
* I have seen this multiple times, since I am in high school now looking back on my middle school years (which sucked except 8th grade) my friends and I thought what we liked when we were younger was lame and now we are in high school and we are trying to be young again, all I'm saying is we all own PILLOW PETS... and sing Dora, Elmo, and Barney and others at school. Also for the EOC's some of my friends brought coloring books for when they were done...
Ok so I had to write this chapter twice the first draft sucked but this one came out WAY better. And oh shit Charlie's back you guys! Don't ask how he got/made puppets of Dawn and Gregory, I have no idea I was just doodling in my sketch book and out came Charlie holding two puppets of Dawn and Gregory and I just thought that was the best idea ever.
Anyway R&R
