Chapter 8: Retrieve the Flute
The traffic on the street seemed to be at its normal pace. The sun shown brightly as the cool day was still there that Gigi remembered. She walked into her house to find her parents still gone. "So they were really gone..." says Gigi as she notices a note on the door. She pulls it off and reads it.
"Dear Gigi,
Papa and I have left to go see a movie, we will be back as 9. Microwave dinners are in the freezer.
Lots of Love,
Mama and Papa."
Gigi walked into the kitchen. She opened the fridge and pulled out a microwaveable dinner. She set the timer as she walked over to a window in the kitchen. "I hope they get home soon, I can't stay too long for Peter's sake," says Gigi out loud to herself.
The timer beeped. Gigi walked back to the microwave and opened it. She pulled the dinner out with a hot pad. She then laid it on the table and sat down. The silence of the house, only the slight creaking of the house swaying in the light wind, Gigi almost couldn't take it.
She finished her unappetising dinner and threw the rest away. Gigi walked out to the living room and slumped down onto the couch. With the tv remote, she clicked on the tv. She flipped through a couple channels then turned the tv off, seeing nothing interesting on.
"I wonder what Peter is doing now," thought Gigi to herself as she laid back on the couch. She watched the clock. Minute after minute ticked by as it felt like a eternity. The clock finally struck 9. Right on time, Gigi heard a car's door slam. She heard high heels clicking on the side walk. The key entered the keyhole as the door opened. Gigi got up and ran over to the door.
"Mama, Papa! How was the movie?" asks Gigi with her usual happiness. Mama smiled. "It was fantastic," says mama. The whole family sat down in the living room. Gigi snacked on some of their left over popcorn from the movie. Mama and papa were sitting close to each other, as lovers do. Gigi smiled.
"Now I know what they are feeling," says to herself Gigi with a giggle. Papa looked at Gigi. "What's so funny?" he asked. Gigi shook her head. "Nothing," she said, hiding her giggles.
"So Gigi, anything new with your school?" asked mama. "Umm.. Oh! I signed up to be a foreign exchange student for a while," says Gigi as the perfect idea pops into her head. "Where will you be staying?" asked papa. "Africa!" says Gigi with the first thing to pop out of her head.
"Oh my that's far away, you will come and visit us wont you?" asks mama. "Of corse!" says Gigi as she got up and hugged mama. Mama and papa both smile. "Alright, when are you leaving?" asked Papa. "Umm.. Tomorrow!" says Gigi. Papa stares at her. "Are you sure you're packed and ready?" asks papa. Gigi nodded.
"Well I guess I should get some sleep! Night mama, night papa!" says Gigi as she jumps up and walks up the stairs. "Night Gigi," both her parents answer. Gigi reaches her room and falls back on the door. She sighs. "Well that was off the top of my head," says Gigi as she stands up again. She pulls out the flute and looks at it.
"This flute can bring you back to the palace..." Peter's words seemed to echo in the silence. "Don't worry, Peter. I will be back tomorrow," says Gigi to herself as she puts the flute at her bed side. She walks to the bathroom and prepares herself for sleep. She finishes brushing her teeth and puts on her PJ's. Gigi then walks back to her bedroom. She flicks the light off and falls back on her bed. She drifted into sleep with Peter fogging her mind.
In a different part of the universe, a dark palace, filled with evil vibes, love non existing, a dark figure lurked in the shadows of his thrown. A small being with a black glow hovered before the mighty murky figure. "Retrieve that flute, all I need of you, servant, is to keep her away for one day earth time," booms a the figure. The servant bows and flies off out of a small window in the palace's roof.
"No one betrays me, sureibu," laughs the figure to himself as he gulps down some blood red wine. The servant made it's way to Gigi's dwelling. It flew right through the glass of the window, no breaking at all. The small, gargoyle looking servant picked up the flute. The poor, clumsy creature dropped the flute. It made a soft bam on the floor. Gigi flipped in her sleep.
The creature floated down to the flute and picked it up again. Gigi suddenly opened her eyes and saw it. "AHHHHH!!" yelped Gigi as she jumped out of bed. The servant flew towards the window. "Hey!! Come back with that flute!" growled Gigi as she tried to catch the creature. It flew on out the window.
"Noo!! Come back!!!" cried Gigi as she opened her window to try and grab the little thing again. The creature flew further. Gigi ran down the stairs and out the door in her PJ's after it. The gargoyle creature flew into an alley way. Gigi followed. "Where... did it go?" asked Gigi aloud to herself.
Gigi felt someone grab her arm. She turned quickly. In her site was a gang of five boys. She struggled to pull her arm free. "Well, look at the little rabbit who's out beyond her bed time," laughs the guy holding her arm. The other members laugh. Gigi twists her head looking at each one, fear in her eyes as she grimaces.
The guy throws her down. Gigi lands hard into some trash cans. She looks up to see the leader has the flute in his back pocket. Gigi's eyes widened. "Wh..where did you get that!?" demands Gigi in a mouse like voice. The guy pulls out the flute from his jean pocket. "You mean this?" he asks while taunting her with waving the flute near her face. Gigi grabbed for it.
The guy put his foot on her stomach. "Just hold still chick, just do what we say and you'll get you're little flute back," the guy smirks as his buddies walk over to Gigi. Gigi scooted back further into the trash cans. "I don't like that look in their eyes," says Gigi to herself. Each of the guys grabs one of Gigi's limbs and pull her up.
"Let go one of me!!" screams Gigi. "Come now, chick, you want your little flute don't ya?" says the leader. Gigi still struggled. One of the guy's slapped her. "You don't cooperate and I burning dis flute in my fire place, ya hear!" yells one of the guys. Gigi's heart sunk. "No please don't!" pleads Gigi. The gang throws her onto the floor and pin her down.
"Just relax girly," one of them says. Gigi struggles still. "This flute will bring you back to the palace... If you are gone too long my heart will break from not seeing you, Gigi..." Peter's words filled Gigi's head. "If.. If I can't get that flute.. Then I can never get back to Peter..." thought Gigi to herself as the world seemed to get hazy.
"Good, just relax, that's it," said what sounded like distant voices. Gigi could hear cloths ripping. She felt like she was in a dream state. Suddenly the flute dropped from the guy's pocket. Gigi came to her senses quickly as she tried to grab it. "Hey don't let her get it!!" yells one of the guys.
Gigi bit her teeth into one guy's arm. He let go with a yelp. Gigi used her free hand to snag the flute. She then punched the other guy holding her other arm. He let go as she started using her hands to hit the others with all her might. She managed to stand up. "I am not... going to be.. Your play toy!!!" growls Gigi as her love for Peter beams brightly inside her, giving her the courage to fight them.
The gang runs at her. She goes into a certain karate woman style. A punch here, a kick there. The guys dropped like flies as they swarmed to her. After the last member was down Gigi sighed. "Thank god," she said aloud as she walked out of the alley. Gigi stummbled on the path back to her home. The little gargoyle swooped down and grabbed the flute from Gigi. "No!! Not again!!" cries Gigi as she runs after the creature on into the night.
