Chapter 11 Catty cornered and upside
I road in the back seat of the truck with Marygold, Erik and Liza, she had finally fallen asleep after talking what felt like forever. I glanced over at the clock on the trucks dash board it read 10:34 and we were weren't even half way home. I could feel my eye lids droop and my vision blurred. I blinked my eyes rapidly focusing on staying awake. My body was tired and I let out a long, tired yawn. My eyes became so heavy and sleep took over. I felt my head land on something. And within seconds I was surrounded by sleep.
I woke up to soft voices stirring around me. My eyes were still heavily with sleep and wouldn't open. "I got her, Bryan." I heard a sweet musical voice whisper. I felt arms slide around me and hoist me up into the air. I felt like I was falling at a million miles an hour. I clinched onto what was ever holding me. "It's okay go back to sleep Camerie." The voice whispered, then brushed a piece of hair behind my ear. I loosened my grip on the figure and curled my arms around my body and shivered it was so cold. I felt my body gently lay on a warm cution and a warm soft sheet laid over me. "G'night Camerie." The voice whispered, my eyes opened just a bit to see Erik looking me with curious eyes his face inches from mine. I could tell he couldn't see me. He smiled softly and kissed softly on the corner of my mouth. I could feel a small smile creep onto my face. He stood up
and walked towards the door. "Erik," I whispered he werled around. "What time is it?" "About 11:39 go back to sleep." "Why are you still here." "One of your brothers, I'm not sure which though, said I could sleep over." He said brushing a strand of hair out of my eyes. "Oh okay." "G'night Camerie." He said and walked out of the room.
I woke up dazed. How long was I sleep? Was yesterday a dream and I don't mean the ones that come true, the normal human ones. I shook my head removing all thoughts and stood up and walked out of my room. I glanced into Liza room. Liza was laying on her bed dead asleep and Marygold was spread out on the floor covered in sheets. I made my way down the narrow hall and looked into Jearn's room. He laid flat on his stomach one of his legs and arms hanging off the bed and he's wings were flapping softly.I suppressed a laugh and softly made my way down stairs. I walked into the living room to find an upside down and catty cornered sleeping Erik on the couch. Smiled to myself, mainly cause no one was up yet. The lights were out in the kitchen, and the sun was rising on the horizon giving it a dim glow. I opened the frig and pulled out the jug of orange juice and a glass till it nearly over flowed. And walked back in to the living room. "Might as well gets some early TV watching, before anyone wakes up." I mudderd to myself and flipped on the TV. I walked over flipping through channels and set down on the floor below Erik.
"What' ya doing up" A sweet voice whispered in my ear. I jumped backwards breathlessly. "What you do that for, aye?" "Don't know just enjoy scare you, that's all." He whispered a smile playing on his lips. "You would think a girl who could see the future would see some of this stuff happening, but nooooo I always have to end up surprised and breathless. How unfair." I huffed making his smile show. It made my heart stop to see it, it was beautiful. "Anyone else up?" he asked and I couldn't figure out what he was getting at."Nope, its only six in the morning." "Than why are you up?" "Couldn't sleep." I said and shivered rubbing my arms. "Oh," He said turning right side up and throwing the blanket to the side. He reached down and grabbed my arms and hoisted me up on the couch next to him. He reached over to where he put the blanket and pulled it over us and then he did something I didn't expect he put his arm around me holding me close. I looked away blushing my head off. Well at least you're not cold anymore. A tiny voice in my head whispered. Ya that's reassuring. And we set there.
