The Calling

Chapter 5: Stupid Door

"So what's it's name?" Renee asked me.

"Huh?"

"The kitten."

"Oh, umm…. Ollie."

"That's cute," Bleh.

The cat followed me through the pet store, staring at the other animals and occasionally sniffing at a parakeet.

I picked out a black collar with spikes and red tag. The collar was a perfect contrast to the kitten's friendly nature.

I got the lady with the garish lipstick and somewhat scary eye shadow to engrave the tag for me, "Ollie 734-3746," it said in golden letters. Renee showed up with a bunch of junk. She paid the possessed-poofy-lipped-clerk-lady, and we dragged our bags to the car.

I got in the car, but hesitated before closing the door, This is it, this could be your last chance to get out and leave. I sighed, and pulled the door closed. It made a final thud, as if saying, "Ha! You idiot! Now there's no going back! Do you actually think you can trust these people? You're so stupid! STUPID!!!"

Why, I asked myself, do you give inanimate objects personalities?

"I don't know, Nikki," said the door.

"SHUT UP!!!" I screeched.

"What?" Phil asked coldly.

"Oh. Umm…..No…….Not you, it was the…Uhh………..well, you see……….I was…..Well I……It's like….Umm…" I glared at the door. Stupid door. Phil looked like he was having second thoughts about bringing me along.

"Don't be too hard on her," Renee whispered to Phil, lowering her voice to the point where normal human wouldn't be able to hear, unfortunately, I didn't fall under that category. I saw Phil's eyes flicker up to look at me, then look back down. I felt a small twinge of sympathy come from him.

"So, what's her name?" I asked.

"Who," Renee gave me a quizzical look.

"Your daughter."

"Bella, and her fathers name is Charlie, I'm sure you'll be great friends," Renee obviously was a lot more attached to this guy then she let on. Just saying the name made her sad.

I made friends with people pretty easily, so I wasn't very worried about that. I just hope this Bella person didn't annoy me; sometimes I have anger issues. That might be a problem.

"How long are we staying?" I asked.

"A while."

A/N: Well, I hope you're happy. This is so sad, I never thought it'd come to the point where I have to bribe people into reviewing. Well, too bad, I want at least ten reviews before I go on. (Plus, I can't go on without your votes anyway.)

VOTE! When do you think Nicole should come into Bella's life, during her great depression? When James is stalking her? Or whenever the heck you want! Just tell me. Hasta la vista, baby.
