Enjoy!!!
Misty air, hard gravel, no light except that barely visible from the streetlights; the usual atmosphere for a miserable Monday morning. It was quiet, deathly, scarily quiet; like the whole world was standing still in the haze of the gloomy morning. The click of Lauriena's shoes colliding with the gravel walkway echoed throughout both the street and her mind; it was too quiet to think. The bitter cold chilled her to the bone as a shudder forced its way to her spine. As Lauriena passed an ancient looking oak tree the previous day's events flashed before her. She realized she must be more careful, especially now that Sean knew how to get to her. Leaves from the enormous oak gently disconnected from their ties and floated down upon Lauriena in a sea of vibrant yellow, orange, and red as the quiet raged on.
"I know" a voice broke the utter silence.
Lauriena tracked the voice to the oak tree. "Not him again" she thought
"What do you want monkey boy?" she deemed this saying appropriate seeing as Sean had somehow climbed into the oak.
"I know," he repeated.
"Are you a broken record player or just plain stupid, because if so I don't quite think u deserve the title Mr. Bright..although I suppose you cant change your last name can you?" she retorted, "and if u DO perhaps have SOMETHING interesting to say, which would be a pleasant surprise, spit it out, cuz I haven't got all day"
"When EXACTLY did your parents disappear???"
"10 years ago.do you have a point???", lauriena spat back at him beginning to get irritable about him always bringing up her parents.
"You pretend you don't know, you and your precious uncle, your parents 'disappeared' right AFTER the technology crash. It wasn't that HARD to figure out that they did it. Simple evidence really, all I had to do was put 2 and 2 together," he practically glowed with disdain as his trademark devilish grin and raised eyebrow came upon his face.
"Both you and I know that the technology crash was no ones fault," she retorted half heartedly." Besides Miss Marian said that in 2990 the crash happened and that it was just a huge mistake, this is 10 years later and its still unsolved-" by this time she had turned away from Sean in distress, she was starting to believe him.she quickly dismissed this idea.
"That's what you think" with Lauriena's newly found courage she whipped around to argue with Sean. He was gone. He had left without her knowing. She cursed to herself; she had let him win.for now.
*********
Lauriena burst through the front door of her cave in a rage. (a/n since the tech crash everyone lives in caves EVEN the Brights.)
"I HATE HIM" she screamed with a look of hatred on her face.
"whats the matter???" asked her tall, husky uncle.
"SEAN IS THE MATTER.WHAT IS HIS PROBLEM?!?!"
"what did he now Laurie?"
cooling down a bit Lauriena said," he said that my parents were RESPONSIBLE for the tech crash!" she began to get red in the face just remembering Sean mentioning her parents.
"PLEASE tell me they weren't!!!" she was still angry but had a pleading tone.
"Of course they weren't" he said as only a parent could -with no emotion in his voice.
"I know, but WHY must he torture ME???"
"in my day it meant that they liked ya!"
"UUUUUUGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! THAT'S THE GROSSEST THING IVE EVER HEARD IN MY WHOLE ENTIRE LIFE" Lauriena exploded as her uncle began to laugh heartily.
"well that's harsh!"
"He deserves it trust me he's --- a pain to put it NICELY" she sighed," you would think that by now, the YEAR 3000, they would come up with some jerk repelling machine.but NOOOOOOOOO!!!! We just HAD to have a tech crash!!!!" Lauriena stopped noticing she was talking, she was just saying what came to her mind now.
She was jerked back into reality when her uncle stated seriously, " the technology crash was the worst thing that could have happened to us and it did.EVERTHING was based on technology.EVERYTHING and we thought we had enough protecting our technology source."
"you mean the sun???"
"yes the sun.but somehow. someone stole it.and then it happened, within seconds, everything went dead.nothing worked.we were all trapped inside our houses with no contact with anyone. Everyone had to destroy their homes just to get out of them. And that's why we live in caves now.someone did it.and they had to have gifts, like you have."
"GIFTS?!?! NO THESE ARE CURSES!!!!"
"only because you cannot control them yet. you will.in time"
"yah okay.she sighed once more," I'm going to my room" she walked off mumbling " curse Sean for being rich and powerful. curse his father for owning the only technology based industry left that can work without the sun!!! I HATE HIM." she slammed her door in an act of frustration. The slam of her door was followed by a loud desperate scream.
