Chapter 6 – Night Shivers

I couldn't control my shivering. I could feel the cold spreading down my body as I became numb. The pain was very uncomfortable and unwanted. If only I could locate the source, but there was no way, the room was too dark. I shifted my weight around in my seat only to find that I was strapped down in a chair. There was no breaking free. Whoever tied these knots had done this before. I knew I was in danger.

Suddenly, I was blinded by a bright light... a spotlight, shining right on me. I blinked to look hoping to find someone or to try and figure out where I was. He was standing there, right in front of me. A man in a trench coat, hand in pocket, was gazing at me. His eyes were hidden in the shadows of the darkness, but I could see his smile. It was antagonizing. I moved ferociously in my seat to get up and attack this man, but I couldn't. I didn't know why but I wanted to hurt him. Something inside me told me he was dangerous, and that I needed to get away but I couldn't move, there was no chance.

"You won't be able to get out of that chair." He said as he moved around to the back of my chair. I felt his grip on my shoulders as he bent down to whisper in my ear "I made sure they were tight enough." He laughed at me. I felt angered so I move even more violently in my chair, as if hoping to wiggle enough that it would loosen and I could prove him wrong. It didn't.

"Your really something you know that? I've been watching you for awhile... more like gazing from a distance, but your every move, every action... so elegant, but when you use... your like a lion ready to pounce. You seem almost stronger then your brother at some points." Caleb. How'd he know about Caleb, and how long had he been watching me. He walked back around to stand in front of me.

"I was wrong I should have..." He trailed off. I could see his lips moving, I just couldn't hear the words. The words, I just wanted to hear his words, especially if it involved Caleb. He stopped, everything stopped. His movements, his words. He became very still. It seemed more frightening then when he was still moving and talking.

I suddenly felt a searing pain jolt through my body. I cried out in pain yelling and screaming. I struggle to move, to stop the pain. Kicking, flailing, everything possible. This pain felt like it lasted forever, and that it would never stop. But it did... I sat upright in my bed. I wasn't cold anymore... I was sweating. It was only a dream, only a dream. Repeating that in my head was the only way I would believe it.

My heart was pounding, I coud feel it in my chest. It was only three thirty. The sky was still dark; the stars and the moon were still shining. I decided to go downstairs and grab a glass of water. After creeping down the stairs to the kitchen, I grabbed a glass from the cupboard, and went to the sink. I stopped. It felt as if someone was watching me so I turned around... there was nothing, only the darkness. "I must still be half asleep.." I said trying to convince myself. The water was ice cold, just the way I liked it. After drinking the glass of water, I threw the cup in the sink and headed back upstairs to bed.

By the time I woke up again Caleb and Sarah had already left. I walked past Caleb's room, the door was open and the bed was made. The house was so big that it seems you would never know if someone else was in here, but I had lived here since I was little, I could tell no one was here. Caleb could do the same thing.

When we were little Caleb and I used to play hide and seek. We would play for hours upon hours. Our parents would never notice because they were to busy with other things. One day Caleb decided to hide outside instead of following the rules... which was to never hide outside the house. After I finished counting, I knew Caleb wasn't inside. The house felt empty, like there was no one in it. I figured that Caleb wouldn't hide outside, he knew better than to break the rules so I looked around the house first. I couldn't find him anywhere.

Maybe I was right and he was outside. I peered my head outside the door and yelled "YOUR NOT SUPPOSED TO HIDE OUTSIDE CALEB!". I could hear the bushes rustle in the wind as Caleb stepped out of the long grass out front of our house.

"How'd you know? You didn't even look in ALL the spots inside the house!" He questioned me.

"Your not smart enough to find new hiding spots, so I looked in all your usual spots." I said laughingly at him.

"Hey! That wasn't nice." He ran towards me and tackled me on the steps and we play fought for awhile. Whenever we fought, it was never to hurt each other, we were always playing around.

As I passed Caleb's room I looked down at the end of the hall at our parents old bedroom. The door was closed, and from the dust it looked like it hadn't been open in years. I stalked past the stairs to stop at the door. I touched it. When my father got sick my mother locked him in this room, it was their bedroom. Mother moved down the hall into another room so our father would be left alone.

The sicker our father got the less I was allowed to see him. My mother always told me that young children shouldn't see such things. It was heartbreaking, I loved my father dearly and Caleb knew this. When Caleb babysat me he let me in to see dad. So it wasn't very often or very long periods at a time, but I wasn't going to complain. I decided to leave it alone. I didn't open the door.

I went back to the stairs, and headed down them to grab some breakfast. Captain Crunch, breakfast of champions as Reid liked to say. Whenever the boys slept over thats all we would eat, Captain Crunch. Except Caleb, he always said too much of it would rot our teeth. However, Reid and I didn't care, we would always eat the most and boast to Caleb that we would get fake jewel encrusted teeth, so that we would match.

I went back upstairs and showered. It was boring at the house when your all alone, so I decided to take extra time getting ready. About an hour or so later the phone rang. I rushed downstairs to answer it. I expected it to be Caleb, but it wasn't, It was a number I didn't recognize.

"Hello" I anwsered.

"Bailey! Its Sarah. Listen Kate and I are going to Nicky's for a bit, and the guys are doing god know what, wherever they are, do you want to come?" She asked. I didn't deal well with hanging out with someone new, but I decided that it was an excuse to get outside of the house. So I agreed and they came and picked me up.

When you first meet Sarah you think that she is just another pretty blonde girl that comes from a rich family, and eventually shows her true colours. Sarah is nothing like that. She came to Spenser on a scholarship, and drives a beat down old car. Her parents aren't rich nor do I think she will ever show her true colours. I believe that she is truly down to earth.

I jumped into the back seat of her car, as they were chit chatting in the front. They both turned around to face me. "Are you ready?" Oh no what had I gotten myself into? They both sounded way to excited to just be heading to Nicky's.

"For ... Nicky's?" I laughed. They both looked at eachother.

"No! SHOPPPPING!" They both screamed.
