Rylie Jackson

About a month later

I woke up before my alarm clock woke me. Today is September 26th. My birthday! Yay.

It's my sweet sixteen. Even though I never planed a party, and I think that sweet sixteen is really tacky. But hey, it's my day.

I raced into my closet and put in some cloths.

A simple Red t-shirt, skinny jeans, and converse hi-tops.

I pulled a hoody over my head and raced down stairs, grabbing my pre-packed bags.

I sat in my chair at the table, practically bouncing in my chair.

"Hey Rylie." Dad said like it was an average day.

"Hey daddy." I only called dad daddy when I was really happy.

He didn't reply. Just sat their eating his breakfast. The smile on my face slowly died.

"Gee, I feel loved." I said sarcastically.

"is it a special day today or something?" He said sarcastically.

"Please stop with this I'm-pretending-it's-not-my-only-daughters-birthday thing. You do it every year and it's getting old."

"Well I'm sorry. Happy birthday."

"Thank you."

Mom walked up behind me and kissed the top of hey head. "Happy birthday sweetie."

"Thanks mom." I turned and smiled at her.

"Hear." She placed a small box on the table in front of me.

I opened it and inside was the most beautiful necklace I ever saw.

Is was an owl holding a trident in its claws.

On the back was a carving that said happy birthday Rylie. We love you. Mom and dad.

"Thank you so much." I said putting it on. The Cain was long so I could just slip it over my head.

I tucked it under my hoody as I ate breakfast and went to school.

I walked into school.

"Hey Rylie." Stephanie greeted.

"Hi Steph." I waved.

"Happy birthday."

"When did you know it was my birthday? I never told you."

"I know. Andrew told me."

"Of corse."

"Anyway. Happy birthday. I got to go. See you in Spanish."

"Adios mí amigo."

Stephanie snorted at my remark. "Adios." She said and walked away.

I got the stuff I needed and walked to class.

I sat down. Andrew sat next to me.

"Happy birthday skater girl." He said putting his arm on my shoulder. Let me tell you a few things. We settled the whole I love you thing. And we're still together. And basically our nicknames are our Skype usernames.

"Thanks lover boy." I made a mocking voice when I said lover boy.

"Hear." Her handed her a wrapped box. It was pink wrapping with blue and purple polka dots on it. A white ribbon was tied in s bow on top.

I pulled a string from the bow out and the bow fell apart. I carefully unwrapped the paper trying not to make much sound.

It was a small, tan box. I opened it and removed the tissue paper.

Inside was a beautiful dress. It was sleeveless, black, and short. At the bottom it had sparkles. The material for the skirt was ruff. But the top was smooth.

"Thank you so much." I put the dress down on the desk. "It's beautiful." I gave him a hug and kissed his cheek.

"That's not all. Toning I'm taking you out to a fancy dinner in little Italy." He smiled.

"You don't have to do that."

"It's my girl's day. I have to. Today you are the queen."

"So…" I got a brilliant idea. Hey it's my birthday. I need to have some fun. "Instead of going to little Italy can we go to Mc Donald's?"

He looked a little disgusted but I kept a strait face. It was hard. "If you want." He choked out.

I couldn't do it. I burst out laughing. "You…should…have…seen…the…look…on…your…face." I said in-between laughs. "I'm kidding."

He looked relived.

I folded up the dress and put it away as class started.

~time laps to lunch~

I sat down with my tray. No one was their yet except Andrew. Jay was behind me and sat across from me.

"Hey." I said. Even though I literally saw him five minutes ago.

"Hi." He replied.

Hanna sat down next to Jay.

"Happy birthday Rylie." She said. I haven't seen her today.

"What? Little girl you didn't say it was your birthday." Jay said.

"Yea, because I didn't want to tell you." Jay pretended to look offended.

While we were talking Stephanie and Peter came.

"Ha-ppy birthday to you." Peter sing-songed, throwing confetti over my head.

"I will kill you." I said.

"Good luck trying to catch me." I faked out and Peter took off running.

We laughed.

"Not cool, man." He said when he realized I wasn't chasing him.

"I'm sorry I'm not a man. I'm a woman." I said the last part really fake and weird.

"Rylie." Hanna said. "I need to talk to you about the-" she noticed Jay. "In the hall." She got up and gestured for me to follow.

We walked into the commons.

"I need to talk to you about my dad. Mom came to me in a dream again. She said we had 24 hours to get my dad back. She gave me these." She reached into her pocket and pulled out three things. A timer ticking down from twelve hours. A yellow and black tube. And a small device.

"This is ticking down from my dads life." She said showing me the timer. "This can pick any lock." She said showing me the weird looking device. "And this is a bottle of pepper spray." She said holding up the tube.

"Pepper spray?" I asked.

"Mom said I would need it." She put the stuff back in her pocket.

"We got twelve hours. How about right after my swim practice. That will leave us about eight and a half hours to get your dad back."

Hanna nodded. "Thank you Rylie. Your the bests friend I ever had."

"Can you blame me. You were the bests friend I ever had. I'm just returning the favor."

We walked back to lunch.

"What was that about?" Andrew asked.

"Nothing." I said.

~time laps to swim practice~

Dad had officially become a swim couch about a week ago. He has been helping Layla-Grace and Jacob with me.

"Dad." I said. He turned around a and looked at me. "I have to go with Hanna right after practice so I'm not going to ride home with you."

"Ok." He said.

~after practice~

Hanna has been waiting for me for a half and hour. Practice was finally over.

I didn't even change. I just slipped on shone shoes, grabbed my bag, and ran.

"Come on Hanna. How much time do we have?" I asked.

She quickly fumbled for her jacket. She pulled out the timer. "Eight hours." She said.

"K common. Wait wear is he?"

"I know wear he is."

"Got it." We ran to her car.

Once we were in her car. She sped off. I was pinned to the seat.

Once I could sit up again I got some sweats and my hoody.

I slipped the cloths on my wet body.

"Hanna how are we going to get their? It's 4:30 on a Friday."

"I know a detour."

After about thirty minutes we arrived at an old, abandoned, mansion.

It had a cobblestone. Brick walls that were falling apart but was still holding up by the vines.

It looked like the slightest breeze would make this place go down yelling timber.

"Come on." Hanna yelled. We unbuckled our seat belts an ran in.

When we walked in we saw her dad sitting in a chair in the middle of a room with chains and a lock.

"Seriously." Hanna said. She walked forward but I grabbed her.

"No." I said. "It's never this quiet without a reason. That's like the number one rule. Well that and always have a weapon. But this rule in keeping."

"Well what are we suppose to do? Wait till a little action happens?"

I looked around. I found a start brick on the floor. I picked it up.

"Come with me." I pulled he to wear we won't be seen.

I lightly tossed the brick. I tumbled a couple feet. I waited about two minutes and nothing happened.

"Well that blew." I whispered.

And if right on cue. About 10 girls in white, silver, and black cloths came out. I couldn't see their faces. All I saw were braids and pony tails sticking out from a hole in the back of their ski masks.

"Or not." Hanna whispered sharply.

I put my hands up in defense.

I got my sword and prepared for battle.

Cliff hangar. Ok I'm probably going to have about two chapters left. But I will create a sequel. Random question of the day. What is your favorite sports team? Mine is the San Fransisco 49rs. Go yotes. Sorry that's for my collage I'm planing on going to. Even though I still have five years till collage. Oh guess what. My dog, Benny, is so funny, so my family is going video tape him casing a laser because he does that. It's so funny. My dog cases a laser more than my kittens. And my kittens drink out of the toilet more than my dog. What is up with the world. He's so funny.
