Chapter 44
(Don't cry wolf until you see one and to REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!- Quote by me so REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
I feel so terrible. It's been two days and so far I think I drank like two gallons of the herb tea that takes away the pain. And let me tell you that the pain is still there.
This tree house was supposed to be temporary so I'm surprised that it's still here. Ansuthiti must be feeling pretty sorry for us.
So now John and Lucy let me walk around and that is such a big relief for me. Except for the fact they only let me walk around the room and that is a short distance.
So right now I slept off the effects of the herb tea and walked up to John who fell asleep keeping watch over me. It's not like I will run out of the room and get hurt. I haven't tried escaping at least not yet. Maybe I should.
John has been really over protective of me. I mean it seemed nice at first but, now it's getting pretty annoying. I mean he always tests my tea to see if it's too hot and follows my every step when I go to the bathroom and I'm really glad he doesn't follow me in.
Maybe I should play a trick on him to make sure he doesn't bother me. But how? Well I should go old school.
I carefully snuck out of the room and saw that Lucy was asleep cuddling with Emerald. Ghost was really bored but, when he saw me his head snapped up and he looked at me.
He let out a loud bark and ran to me nuzzling my leg. "Shh. Be quiet or you will wake them up. We're playing spy so if you want to be my partner in crime you have to be quiet." I said in wolf.
I glanced over at Lucy and to my relief she was still asleep. "Sorry Sunset. So you are playing spy? I want to play! Can my code name be Black wolf?" Ghost asked.
"Um Ghost you are a white wolf." I said looking at his glossy white fur that shone in the sun. "So? This is a pretend game so I can be whoever I want to be and that is Black Wolf." he said. I just love Ghost.
"Okay fine what do you think my code name should be?" I asked and instantly regretted my question. "Oh I know! You can be Anger Person." Ghost said. Of course he would say that. Well I am a fairly angry person.
"Okay fine we just need to find some practical joke stuff and we're good to go. You will be my look out person. If John or Lucy wake up you alert me Black Wolf." I said.
Ghost nodded and stood near the door. I walked over to the food pantry and looked around. I saw some of the herb tea and I should have some of that. My stomach is starting to hurt again. Bad Sunset! Or in this case bad Anger Person! That will just send me to sleep.
I picked up all the ketchup bottles and some whipped cream. I was looking for the last ingredient when I heard a yelp.
I turned around and saw Ghost staring at me. "What are you doing here?" I asked him. He was supposed to be on watch! "Oh um I was getting kind of hungry so I came here to get some food." he said.
Well I was hungry too but, I didn't turn my back on him for food. Then again I was getting food but, I didn't turn my back on him.
I heard a noise and both mine and Ghost's heads shot up. I used my super hearing and listened in on Lucy. She was waking up. "Should I go check on Sunset or should I get some food? I'll check up on her first." she mumbled to herself and I looked at Ghost.
"This wouldn't have happened if you were on watch!" I accused. Oh not the puppy dog eyes and let me tell you it's much harder to resist on a dog.
"Oh okay Ghost. You're forgiven. Now go and distract Lucy so I can go in the room." I said. "What are you supposed to say?" he asked. "Fine. Please go distract Lucy Black Wolf." I said and he ran out of the room.
I snuck my head out of the room and looked around the corner. I saw Lucy just about to step in my room. "Lucy! Lucy!" Ghost said and tugged on Lucy's pant leg.
"What is it Ghost?" she asked and ruffled his fur. Ghost pointed to his stomach and pointed his nose to the pantry room. Right where I was in. Okay Ghost is the worst spy ever. You aren't supposed to lead the enemy to you. You're supposed to lead them away.
Well no one is perfect. Just look at me for instance. I can see ghosts and what better definition for crazy is there?
"Oh so you're hungry boy. Well I just have to check on Sunset and I'll get you some food." Lucy said ruffling Ghosts fur.
"I just fixed my fur. I will have to fix it all again." said Ghost. He began to tug On Lucy's pant leg until she almost fell onto the floor. Aw my little puppy is growing up.
"Okay fine. But this had better not be a trick because then I will be angry and you have never seen me angry." Lucy said. It's true I never saw her once get angry and her tone never rises unless she's scared.
She started to make her way in here and I hid in the farthest and darkest corner in the room. Lucy came in and she started to rummage around in the pantry.
"Hey that's weird. All the ketchup and whipped cream is gone. Well no use worrying about it. Man the raw chicken isn't in here. You would think it wouldn't be in the refrigerator because you like it nice and spoiled." Lucy said and turned towards the refrigerator.
Our refrigerator is just a small cooling box that the elements got (cough cough stole cough.) The cooling box was right beside me. So now Lucy will see me and my plan will be ruined.
I looked frantically around and saw a brick which I have no idea where that came from or what we needed it for beside me.
I picked it up and threw it across the room as far as I could and it broke right through the wood and kept flying. I heard a few trees fall down in the path of the Flying Brick.
"What in the world?!" Lucy said and ran to the hole in the wall and she never once saw me. I jumped up and ran out of the room. I ran as fast as my injury could allow and I reached my room.
Until I found another problem I was feeling pretty happy with myself. John was starting to wake up and he was going to see the empty bed. I can't dive into the bed without John seeing.
As if he heard me breathing (which he had) he turned towards me and looked shocked. "Sunset what are you doing out of bed?" he asked in an angry tone.
Without thinking (which I usually do) I gripped the top of two of the whipped cream things and ripped off the tops. A tip for you kids is that you must never play with pressurized air. Remember that because you will see the consequences right here.
I heard a loud whooshing sound and I closed my eyes as I ripped off the tops from the other whipped cream bottles. When that was done with I squirted the ketchup all around.
I finally opened my eyes when the supplies were gone. The room was covered in white and red and I could barely see John except for that he kept shaking with anger.
Before he could yell or scream I said "Lucy I think John exploded." I said and she ran into the room. She took in the sight and it took her about a minute to process it before she burst out laughing.
"How did this happen?" Lucy asked between laughs. "I don't know. John here was just snacking on his shoulder. See you can see all the drool. And then he just exploded." I said and that is such a lie and an unbelievable lie at that so I knew Lucy wouldn't believe it.
"Okay John what really happened?" she asked. John gladly told his story. "You see I fell into a light sleep (tell that to his drool) while my watch was going on. Then I woke up to your scream and trees crashing down on the ground. I looked up and saw that Sunset's bed was empty. So I heard someone's heavy breathing and looked up. There was Sunset carrying bottles of whipped cream and ketchup. Then without warning she sprayed them all over the room. I think you should punish her." John said.
"Oh is that so? Then Sunset you-"I cut off what Lucy was saying when I acted without thinking. I faked fainting and started to fall to the floor.
"Sunset!" John yelled and caught me before I fell to the ground. Sweet they believed my fake little fainting episode. Well not everyone. "Nice try Sunset you aren't getting out that easily." Lucy said and I reluctantly got up.
"Fine you caught me. Boo hoo for me. Well I have one last trick up my sleeve." I said and touched the back of my neck. I know of this pressure point in everyone's bodies that when you pinch it you faint.
I remember the first time I found out about it. I was in class at school and this kid kept bugging me by pulling on my hair and spitting spit balls at the back of my head. This guy really needs to grow up. So after class I made sure the hall way was empty when I pinned the kid against a wall. I accidently hit that one pressure point and he crumpled to the ground. So I had to make up a lie that he was trying to hurt me and I hit his head against the wall so he fainted. After that I used that pressure point thing one more time. There was this really mean sub in my next class who was going to give out a big test that I didn't study for. So I snuck up behind him and pinched the pressure point. He fell to the ground and everyone thought that he didn't sleep and collapsed from exhaustion. We got a new sub that was much nicer thought that we suffered enough trauma that day and we didn't have to take the test.
So I fainted for real this time and I didn't really know what happened when I caused myself to faint but, now I know. It gives you really weird dreams.
I was in this weird dream land. I was in a pure white room that didn't have anything at all in it. I touched this jacket on the ground and I was sucked into a vision while I was already in a vision. I was watching the life story of a young girl. She was a psychic just like Lucy but, she had a lot more power. She kept it a secret thought and no one found out. Until her parents found her performing a spell. The girl was trying to create money from green paper because her parents needed a lot of money and fast. She was just helping her parents but, they thought she was performing black magic. They took her to a church and she had to wash her entire body in holy water so they would get her to stop practicing evil. Well she never stopped performing magic. She only did it in secret and she was doing one spell in her room when she noticed a small light flashing. She walked up to it and found out that it was a camera directly transmitting the video of her performing magic to her parent's room. So she had to destroy the tape before her parents got home. She got a brick from her basement and went to her parent's room. She broke the T.V with the brick right when her parents came in. They of course thought she was crazy and they were forced to send her to a mental hospital where they tied her up in a strait jacket. She was never crazy but, because of all the isolation and meds she had to take she did eventually become crazy. She wanted this entire trauma in her life to end so she snuck out of her room with a stolen key she brought into the room from her magic that she still used and went into the medicine room. She stole a whole bunch of pills and swallowed all the pills. They found her dead body on the ground and that was the end of the story. I went back into the white room and saw a shape form in front of me. I saw Ansuthiti standing in front of me. "Hello Ansuthiti." I said nodding to her. "Yes hello Sunset my dear. I think you have some questions for me." she said and I nodded again. "Yes I do. I want to know about spirit and if I possess it." I said. "Very well. You see I never taught you about this power because no matter what happens it makes you crazy. It makes you grow evil within you and you always become angry at everything and that includes your loved ones. I thought that along with your temper having spirit wouldn't add up well. So I decided to make sure you never developed it and you know that symbol on your paw when you turn into a wolf? Well that is a mark that shows that you have a spell of protection on you which makes you not be able to have spirit. I also have a tip for you along the road. There will be a lot of ghosts surrounding you especially around the School so I think you should learn this trick. To make sure you don't see or hear the ghosts you must in vision a wall around you like a mental block from a mind reader. That way you can't hear them. I have decided to help you in another way. I have given you another power so you won't feel angry at me for the spirit thing. You see I have given you the power of Touch. Whenever you Touch something you can see a vision about its past like with that strait jacket from the girl. If you don't want to use Touch you just have to put on gloves to cover your fingers. I have given you some. Look at your hands." Ansuthiti said and I looked down. On my hands were gold and black gloves that fit perfectly. You could still see the rings because there were special holes for them. "Wow Ansuthiti. Thank you so much for this power. I will make sure to use this power wisely." I said. "You're welcome. Good bye Sunset and let me tell you your punishment will be a little harsh." she said and disappeared. I was sucked out of the vision.
I didn't want to open my eyes to face my punishment but, I guess I have to. I opened my eyes and I was staring directly into John's.
"Man John back off. And please do something about your breathe." I said pushing him out of the way. "Oh Sunset you are in a heap of trouble. But I have one question for you. Where in the world did you get those gloves?" John asked.
I looked down and there on my hands were the gloves from my vision. "Oh um Ansuthiti gave them to me because I have a new super power. See I can use it right now." I said.
"No time Sunset. You have to receive your punishment from Lucy." John said and I looked around the room. It was perfectly clean and seeing no sweat on John I suspect Lucy used a cleaning spell on this place.
Just then Lucy came into the room. "Hello Sunset I'm glad your awake. Now time for your punishment. You let's see escaped from the room, made Ghost join in on your spy game, stole all the whipped cream and ketchup, used it all on John and the room, and used that fainting trick. Well John and I thought long and hard about your punishment. Oh by the way nice gloves." she said.
I looked down at them and back at her. "Anyway you will not be allowed to leave this room at all and you are not allowed to use John's iPod. The only way to leave this room is going to the bathroom and you can't leave yourself locked in there forever because John will bust the door down. Also you have to after your wound is gone clean the whole tree house." Lucy said.
"Can I make you reconsider?" I asked John and leaned over to kiss him. I don't care if he has smelly human food breath I just want out of all this work.
I looked at him and he was about to say that he thought I suffered enough when Lucy glared at him. He sent me an apologetic glance and mouthed "I'm sorry" Well that didn't work.
So then they left with John on guard making sure I didn't move at all. Well I have nothing to do. My Romeo and Juliet book is too far away to reach.
I can't just ask John for it because I think he wouldn't get it for me. Then again I could persuade him again. Then I can't use John's IPod and there is no T.V
Well I can create my own T.V. I slipped off my glove and looked for something to Touch. I found a bug dead on my bedside table and I want to see how they think.
So I reached out and Touched it. "Sunset what are you doing?" John asked before I was sucked into another vision.
I was a bug and my only thoughts were find food. I was flying outside when I spotted a perfect green leaf to eat. Since it was fall green leaves were a rare treat. I flew towards it and started to nibble on it when a shadow fell over me. I looked up full of fear and saw a huge black raven towering over me. Nightwing had nothing better to do than scare a bug. I looked around scared and tried to fly away but, the bird caught me before I could even move. The bird didn't eat me but, it wanted to play a little cat and mouse. The bird threw me into the air and I tried to fly away again but, I couldn't right myself. Nightwing caught me again but, when she was about to throw me again she got bored. Her short attention span directed her to a squirrel searching for food. So the bird flung me away and dived after the bird. Air rushed around me and I fell through a hole in a wall of the tree house. Ghost was sleeping on the floor after feasting on whipped cream and ketchup. He was breathing noisily out and his breath hit me and I was flying thorough the air again. I was becoming weak and I pounded my wings little by little and went into this room. I saw a girl sleeping on her bed and the scent of blood was on her. I saw suddenly gloves appear on her hands out of the blue. My wings finally gave out when I was flying over a bedside table and I fell to my doom. I hit the table hard and I sadly died.
"Man Sunset will you stop having visions?" John asked shaking me. "Oh what? No I will not because visions are my private own televisions.
Did you know that bugs notice a lot more than they seem? I mean this bug went through so much in its final moments. I also have to punish Nightwing." I said.
I called her name in my mind and she came flying into the room. "What is it my lady?" she asked. "Do you recognize this bug?" I asked her.
"Oh yes he was fun to play with until I found a squirrel. Now that was delicious. I wonder how that bug got in here." she said looking at the bug.
"Well no more playing with bugs. I mean this bug went through so much and it was just harmlessly looking for food when you showed up. You ruined its whole life." I said.
"I'm sorry. I didn't know you liked bugs so much. How did you learn about its past?" Nightwing asked. "That doesn't matter anymore. You can leave if you want to." I said and she flew out of the window.
"Well that was weird." John said and I nodded in agreement.
I suddenly felt a woozy feeling and looked around. Why do I feel like the elements are at work? I didn't summon them or anything. Maybe Ansuthiti is trying to tell me something.
I heard a loud groaning sound and I shot up in bed. Something was happening in this tree house. I heard a whispering voice that said "the elements work here is done for now. Do not fret because you will be safe." I think that was Ansuthiti.
The groaning sound got louder and I was suddenly falling through the air. I looked around and saw that the tree house was disappearing. Well there goes our home.
Right before I was going to splat on the forest floor the wind lifted me slowly onto the ground and I looked at John and Lucy. The elements didn't help them.
I guess because I was injured I get special treatment. They hit the ground and I think they're going to get a lot of bruises in the morning.
"Well that ended well. At least now you guys can't ground me." I said smiling at my victory. Well it was short lived.
"When we check into a hotel you will be grounded. Now you John help Sunset walk and Sunset when the pain hurts too much say so and we will rest. Then John can carry you." Lucy said. Well I wouldn't mind that.
"Yeah sure. Let's go and explore the world!" I said in a fake enthusiastic voice. John helped me up and we started walking towards a city.
