Ella: Thank you so much for this comment, it really made me happy when I first read it and it means a lot to hear it! :)
Well guys, sorry for the wait, but I'm here with a new chapter! I only own my OC's!
Opening the door, I entered the house slowly, looking for any sign of Uncle Angus. I was still upset over losing the picture of my parents, but I knew Uncle was a bigger problem now. Living room was empty, so was kitchen, Uncle Angus' room….
And I knew where he was waiting for me. I opened the door of my room slowly with a sigh, coming in. "It's alright Uncle Angus, I'm back!" I declared and saw him sitting on my bed. He stood up in both relief and anger, and I knew even though he was glad to see me, I knew anger would overtake him, which meant one thing. I was screwed.
At this moment, I was thinking whether I should have stayed with girls and Mister British Man instead of coming back home. They were good people, and I wouldn't have to face Uncle's fury…. But, who could blame him? He must have been panicked; I was out for a day after all! With all that stuff that happened today, I never managed to find out what the thing was with the woohp thing Doctor V mentioned and how girls and Jerry knew each other…
Maybe I should have jumped through the window of that building instead of breaking the door of the closet? No Lily, stop talking nonsense. Just try to get yourself out of this terrible situation, and later you'll get back at that cunt who locked you up in the first place and…. Technically I did get back at him, so that makes this even more complicated…. Fuck.
"Where were you Lily, I've been looking everywhere for you…" Uncle started angrily while standing up, making me take one step back in fright. "I'm sorry Uncle, I really am, I just…. BANDITS!" I shouted, making him raise an eyebrow. Now how was I going to get myself out of this?
And that was when Uncle knew I was lying. "Young lady, you'd better spill the…." "But it's true! Bandits caught me on a street back home, and they kept asking me to give them money, but I refused so they hit me and knocked me out, leaving me…" "How long do you intend on lying to me, Lily?!" Uncle Angus was losing it by now.
"But I'm not lying to you, what I've just said is…." "I'm your uncle, and family isn't supposed to keep secrets from each other!" He exclaimed, making my blood boil. Family wasn't supposed to keep secrets, huh? Then what was this with my father?! Uncle was being a hypocrite now, and I couldn't believe it. "That's funny, considering that you and Mother are always keeping one secret from me. But you don't count me as a family member, which is why you're not telling me, huh? That's your excuse!" I argued back.
But at the same time, I was feeling sadness. Uncle and I always got along well, that was, until we moved here… And now we were just arguing. Uncle Angus simply slammed the door with a furious look on his face, leaving me alone in the room with my thoughts…. I huffed and threw myself at bed, taking my favorite book in my hands.
Third Person's POV
"See you girls." Jerry pressed the button and Sam, Alex and Clover screamed, falling through the floor. Once the hole closed, he started walking around the room with a finger on his chin, deep in his thoughts. Lilette, or 'just Lily', that was the girl's name…. "Just who is this Lily?" He asked himself but of course, no one answered his question because he was alone in the office.
Lilette was her name; he knew that, a dark brown eyed and dark brown haired girl about Clover, Sam and Alex's age. She was British just like him, he knew that as well. But, she was a complete opposite. "There's this girl at school, and actually, she's your fellow Brit!" Jerry remembered Clover's words from a few days ago, making him smirk in amusement, because the way the girl acted, it was like they didn't come from same place at all.
The girl was rebellious, she hated the very mention of manners, she defied them as much as she could, she was impulsive, and for some reason, she spoke in Scottish when mad…. But she could think quickly, and she helped the girls get rid of Doctor V, not to mention that she nearly managed to escape from him when he attacked her, only if the door weren't locked…. And she managed to break out of that closet!
Pressing a button, Jerry could see what appeared to be a scene in a bedroom.
"I'm sorry Uncle, I really am, I just…. BANDITS!" Lily suddenly threw her hands in the air, making a man with dark brown hair just like the girl's and icy blue eyes raise an eyebrow.
"Good heavens." Jerry commented in a bit of disbelief. He knew Lily apparently had to think of an excuse because she's been out for a day and this 'Uncle' was worried, but judging by the man's reaction, he didn't believe her a word. Not just that, the girl was being overdramatic at this moment.
"Young lady, you'd better spill the…" "But it's true! Bandits caught me on a street back home, and they kept asking me to give them money, but I refused so they hit me and knocked me out, leaving me…" Lily cut her uncle off.
But, as soon as the man glared at her, Jerry knew this wasn't going to end up well for the girl at all.
"How long do you intend on lying to me, Lily?!" The man snapped. "But I'm not lying to you, what I've just said is…." "I'm your uncle, and family isn't supposed to keep secrets from each other!" "That's funny, considering that you and Mother are always keeping one secret from me. But you don't count me as a family member, which is why you're not telling me, huh? That's your excuse!" Lily shouted back angrily.
Jerry didn't understand what a thing was with those secrets, especially with this big one Lily mentioned, and it apparently meant to her. However, that wasn't his problem, but her family's…. The only reason he was spying on her was so he could find out more about her, and he apparently found a wrong time for that.
The argument ended with the man slamming the door and the girl throwing herself at bed before taking a book called 'Le Père Goriot'.
She loved books, it was obvious. She also understood French, which felt to him like a déjà vu.
Suddenly, the girl put the book away. She took her backpack, locked the door of her room, put many pillows on her bed, covered them with sheets and put the book in the backpack .Opening the window, Lily let out a sigh before stepping on a tree branch that was just on her balcony before starting to climb down and jumping on the grass outside her house. She made a run for it down the street, not looking behind.
Jerry rubbed the back of his head in a bit of confusion. Good tactic she had there, but why would she run away after just coming back? Maybe she had to be alone… This was a good chance.
Lily's POV
"Hey, Allison, you called?" I asked just as I was out of my street. "Lily! How's it going, lass?" Her voice answered over the phone. "Well, it is and it's not so good." I responded just as I sat on grass under a nearby tree on a small clearing. "Tell me everything, come on!"
I chuckled a bit. "Fine, fine! But, just to let you know, it's my fault I now speak Scottish whenever I'm mad!" I declared accusingly, making Allison burst in laughter. "Which only means my job is done and that I'm an excellent teacher!" She responded proudly. I rolled my eyes a bit. Yeah, it was very normal for a British girl to talk both British and Scottish, switching between them just like that out of blue!
"Well, we moved in," I started explaining moving into our house. "That night, I ran into a girl with long red hair and green eyes, who was actually my new neighbour and her name was Sam!" "Is she nice?" Allison asked. "Yes, she is, and she has two best friends named Clover and Alex. But, strange things have been happening recently, including the three of them disappearing just like that,"
"And two nights ago, there was this weird rave at school, and Allison, everyone at school was acting like vandals! Because of some music, they started trashing the place completely! I met this man who's also from Britain…" "See, you're not the only one there that's British." Allison pointed out and I rolled my eyes. "And we found other students acting like vandals, but after the music stopped, they didn't remember a thing!"
I bit my lip for a moment, thinking about what happened today and yesterday. Should I tell her that or not? "The point is, it was really weird." I left out today's events because Allison would think I've gone mad. I mean, being knocked out by a crazy German Doctor controlling someone from inside of a body…. You see the problem. "Tried to find out more about it?" She asked. "Yes, and I'm still looking for answers." I responded.
"What about your mother and uncle?" "Mother's gone to France for two months and Uncle Angus is looking after me." I responded simply. "And any news about him?" I sighed at her question, remembering how I lost that precious picture… "Allison, I found a picture of Mother and someone else who I presumed was Father, but…" "What did he look like?"
I smiled a bit, trying to remember the picture. "Well, the color was black and white, but judging by it, he had blond hair and dark brown eyes…" I explained. "But I lost the picture." I sighed. "WHAT?!" I put the phone away not to become deaf, I still had that ear problem after all, and Allison's roaring wasn't helping. "I know, I know, I'm so stupid!" I exclaimed. "But please Allison, calm down or I'm going to become deaf."
"Really lass, out of all things that could happen, you lose the picture, the chance of finding out who he is?!" "I know! But, there's got to be another way…" I muttered. "Well there is. Lily, who do you look like?"
I put a finger on my chin and looked up at the clear sky. "Well, I got my hair color most probably from Uncle Angus; he has same hair as me…. Then he said I inherited some facial features from Mother…." "But eyes, where did you get your eyes from?!" Allison asked impatiently.
"From Mother and Uncle definitely not, they have icy blue eyes, so most probably from some other relative…." "Exactly! You said the man had dark brown eyes, you said it yourself that you may have picked that trait from your father!" "But that still doesn't prove anything. I don't know his name; there can be thousands of people with eyes like that." I frowned.
Allison sighed over the phone. "What about other things? Your allergy is not something your mother and uncle have, is it?" "Nope." I shook my head. "But having it sucks, so that whoever I picked it from is as unfortunate as me." "Lily, that allergy is not exactly often, you know." "I know! But there's always a chance only I have it. Inheriting allergies is not exactly often either." I added with a frown.
"We're not going anywhere like this." "Agree." I huffed before sighing. "But Uncle said he left her in Liverpool…." I spoke up. "Maybe we could find out whether he's French, American, British…" I shook my head at her suggestion. "Hardly, he can be from anywhere. I picked the accent from Mother and Uncle after all. Anyway…"
I quickly stopped in my words, looking around frantically. I had this feeling someone was watching me, and I never liked people spying on me because who knew what would happen after all and… "You know what, Allison? I'll call you later; I've got something to do." I responded simply and hung up, looking around.
Someone was watching me, I just knew it, there was this instinct telling me that. I stood up slowly with backpack on my back, still observing the street. Everything was deadly quiet now…. And the scene was becoming rather creepy. Where were cars, people, squirrels and other animals when you needed them to break the fourth wall?! And suddenly….
I felt someone catching my hand harshly, making me scream in fear, not wanting to look at the crazy person. But, if I didn't, it would just make things worse, not knowing who was attacking me! Quickly spinning around, I saw someone in some weird suit with a cap over their head, holding my hand tightly. "Who are you?!" I demanded furiously, but the person stayed quiet.
"Are you going to tell me, or not?!" I shouted, only to receive no response. Well, he asked for it! "You want to fight, or what?!" I exclaimed, kicking the person in their knee and making them let me go in pain while holding their knee.
I wanted to do way more than that, and I wanted to run, but for some reason, my instincts told me not to. This was a fight, and I was going to just chicken out like that in the middle of it? But at the same time, I knew nothing about fights except maybe punching in face and kicking with a leg…. Don't look at me; I wasn't a kung fu master!
Instincts or not, I knew nothing about fighting in general, and I was being honest now, and that told me only one thing. It told me to run. Screw fighting if you couldn't fight! "Sorry, but I'm out of here." I commented but the attacker grabbed my hand again, spinning me around to face him, well, his cape. "You're not going anywhere."
And the next thing I knew was that screaming, ducking, straightening up and trying to avoid the person's attacks. After another round of trying to avoid fists, I decided to try to give a first kick, but of course, the attacker dodged it. Damn…. I then tried to punch, but…. The person grabbed my hand, sending me flying into a nearby bush!
By now, I wanted to sing holy crap. Coughing because of leaves and hissing because of pain in my butt, I wanted to stay in the bush and just wait for the attacker to leave. I knew I was being stupid, but, what else was I supposed to think?! Getting out of the bush, I was really confused by now. There was no sign of the attacker, it was like he disappeared! Well, he did, but still, this was way too weird…. This was what happened when I decided to go out on a bit of fresh air….
And that's it for today, until next time!
