Chapter 4: I Really Hate Waking up Sometimes
I rolled over and fell of my bed.
"Ow ow ow ow ow." I clutched my head and rolled into a ball. I slowly got up and looked at my clock. Five in the evening, I slept most, if not all, the day away. I groaned and walked to my door. I turned around to look back at my room but I was blinded by the sunset. That is the problem of having a room on the third floor, facing west. I get blinded by the sunsets! I opened my door and walked into the hall. I stumbled down the stairs, but managed not to fall. When I got into the living room aunt Dottie and uncle Bob where watching T.V. Uncle Bob looked at me.
"Good your up, I was just about to go get you." He stated. Oh no when he said that he always wanted something.
"Why?"
"Well we need you to watch Tony later tonight."
"Ok, and?"
"No, there is no money involved."
"Shoot." I walked over to the chair and sat down. "So where is the little rug rat."
"In his room….I think. Is he honey?" Uncle bob asked aunt Dottie.
"I think he is outside." She looked up.
"I'll go look" I offered. They nodded in agreement. I got up and went up stairs to his room. I knocked on the door, but there was no answer. I opened his door and looked inside. "Tony? You in here?" The door creaked back and lightly hit the wall. The sun had set behind the hills so it was pretty dark out, plus Tony's room faced East. I felt like I wasn't alone. "Tony? Oh come on, you know I hate it when you do this. Great, now I feel like I'm talking to myself." I opened his closet. Nothing. I thought I heard snickering. I went over to the fireplace and looked inside. Nothing again. I sighed and turned around. When I did Tony was right there in front of me, but he was upside down. I jumped slightly…..and he was laughing.
"You fell for it Ember!" He was still hanging there. I looked up and Rudolph was on the ceiling holding Tony's feet.
"Not funny Tony." I crossed my arms. Rudolph was snickering. I was temped to glare at him. Rudolph somehow managed to get Tony onto the floor safely.
"What did mom and dad want?"
"Well I'm babysitting tonight." I thought I saw Rudolf's face pale even more that it already it.
"Gregory's going to have a heyday."
"What do you mean Rudolph' I was getting curious. Tony tried to look like he didn't know anything. Rudolph sighed.
"He wouldn't stop talking about you. He keeps saying how strong and ruthless you are. Its almost as bad as Anna talking about Tony." He sighed again. Tony turned his head at the last part. Was he blushing? Wait, was I blushing? Yep I was.
"Um o-ok. Well, uh Tony, want anything to snack on later?" I looked at him. He looked up.
"Um sure. Could you make some brownies?"
"Course I will." I smiled the best I could. I stepped out into the hall and closed the door behind me.
(-EPIC TIME WARP!-)
At seven-o-clock aunt Dottie and Uncle Bob left, so I went into the kitchen and got the brownie stuff. I set my Ipod on the counter. Yes I like to listen to music when I bake. What? There is nothing wrong with it. I put it on a random song and commenced with the brownies. I opened the fridge and got the eggs and milk. I set them on the counter. I was snooping in the cabinets, looking for a the mixer when I found a bag of chocolate chips. I gave a devious smile, I haven't had a good chocolate buzz in a while. I placed the chocolate chips beside the bowl. I opened the brownie box and poured in the mix, then adding the milk, eggs, oil, and finally the chocolate chips. I hummed along with Alumina by Nightmare. I loved Japanese songs. I found the mixer and plugged it in. Suddenly I thought I heard the cellar door open. I shrugged, starting to mix the brownie batter, it just might be Tony going down there….or someone might be coming up. Gah, I really need to stop it with the horror movies.
At long last the brownies where mixed and ready to bake. I poured it into the pan, then pre-heating the oven. I scooped out the rest, but I couldn't resist at least tasting my creation. Yum sweet chocolate. I turned to put the bowl into the sink, and Tony was watching me.
"Ember, what are you doing?"
"I'm making brownies, duh." I put the bowl into the sink and then put the brownies into the oven. I set the timer for twenty-five minutes.
"You put chocolate chips in it."
"Uh yeah. So what?' I leaned against the counter.
"Won't that make them too chocolaty?" He looked so innocent. Well time to corrupt the kid.
"Tony, listen, there is no such thing as too chocolaty." I smiled. He face-palmed.
"Right." He walked out of the kitchen. I swear he is starting to act a little bit like me. Wow I am corrupting him.
( A short time warp :/ I don't know if it is epic or not o.0)
The buzzer on the timer buzzed. I got up and took the brownies out of the oven. All the while I felt like I was being watched. Tony was watching T.V so I knew it wasn't him. I shook my head, I took the pan and put it on the table, waiting for them to cool. About two minutes later I gave up on waiting and cut the brownies; putting them on a plate. I took two them called Tony into the kitchen.
"Tony, brownies are done." I walked out of the kitchen and claimed the recliner. Tony ran into the kitchen, but then he ran out to the cellar door. I raised an eyebrow. He opened the door and went down. A minute or two later he came up with the vampires. Fredrick and Freda walked in calmly, but Rudolph and Anna ran behind Tony. Only one was missing.
"Where's Gregory?" I hadn't seen him since last night..er this morning.
"I thought he was up here." Freda was confused. Then something clicked together, Gregory was following me in the kitchen. I got up and put my brownies on the table. When I stood up Gregory was smirking at me, less than a foot in front of me. I jumped.
"Jesus Gregory. What are you trying to do? Give me a heart attack?"
"Maybe, maybe not. And by the way, those brownies are really good." He smirked. I looked at table; low and behold my brownies where gone. My eye brow twitched.
"You owe me two brownies….but," I punched his shoulder. "That's good enough for me." I smirked. I didn't punch him too hard….just hard enough to leave a bruise, if he could bruise. He rubbed his shoulder. His parents glanced at each other and shrugged. Fredrick cleared his throat.
"Ember, I don't think we where properly introduced. I am Fredrick Sackville-Bagg." He bowed. I nodded. It was nice to be properly introduced. Suddenly there was a crash in the kitchen. I sighed.
"Excuse me for one moment." I walked to the kitchen. "Tony Matthew Thompson you better not be messing up the kitchen. And if you are you, mister, are going to be cleaning it up, or so help me I will not take the blame when your parents get back!" I tried so hard not to yell.
"Got it Ember." He nodded. I went back to the living room.
"Sorry about that."
"Its alright. I see that you have got almost every thing under control, but if you need anything you know where to find us." Freda smiled. I nodded. She and Fredrick went back down to the cellar. Now I was alone with Gregory, who was still rubbing his shoulder.
"That hurt you know that."
"It was meant to." I smirked. Gregory growled.
"Foolish human."
"Oh I'm so scared." I was being very sarcastic which made Gregory growl more. I smirked and sat back down on the recliner. Gregory just stood there. I knew he was contemplating a way to get back at me for punching his shoulder. I think he got an idea because he bent down and was just staring at me. I tried to ignore him but lets face it, no one likes to be stared at, it was kinda creepy. Suddenly his kissed my cheek and was on the ceiling before I could react.
"Heh heh, serves you right human." He smirked. I jumped up.
"Gregory that was so not funny." I growled. That was one thing I hated the most, being kissed with out knowing it. This was going to be a long night.
( time warp…I know there are too many of these, but I don't know what else to write -.-)
The Sackville-Bagg's where back in the cellar, and Tony was in bed. I sat on my bed thinking about all that happened this evening. I glared at my pillow, after all that has happened I deserve to get paid for babysitting Tony. I got up and changed into my Skelanimal PJ's. Man I loved these things. I turned on my stereo and climbed into bed. I stared at my ceiling, then started to drift of to sleep.
I was in the cemetery, but I was floating. I looked down at the ground and saw myself laying there, motionless. I floated closer. I heard shouting in the distance.
"Where is Ember?" People where running. I looked down at myself on the ground. I was laying in a pool of blood, my blood. I got closer and was that the blood was coming from my arm. There was a long gash from my shoulder to my elbow. Suddenly a person ran through my floating body. I recognized him. Gregory!
"Oh God Ember, please don't die. Don't leave me here." Suddenly he went ridged. He lifted his hand, that was in the pool of my blood. He shook his head and ripped his shirt. He bandaged my arm, then picked me up. "Don't you dare die on my Ember."
I shuddered awake. The dream felt so real. I was watching myself die, and Gregory tried to save me. I touched my cheek where his kissed me. A silent tear rolled down my face. I knew something bad was going to happen soon.
