Annie's Suspicion (Suspicion)
By: JlyfishLuver
Annie's P.O.V.
Jimmie is out of the hospital now. I keep trying to understand what he meant about the Africans throwing rocks at a man. He did seem pretty spooked, but I don't know. Like I told Fi, he seems a little too good to be true. I mean for all we know he could have snuck in here and made up his whole story. I've seen a lot of things, and his story isn't much worse than magic and ghosts, but I feel like something is going to happen. Something big.
"Hey Annie?" Molly called, breaking my train of thought.
"Yeah?" I yelled back from my room to the kitchen.
"Could you come here for a moment?"
I did.
-
I arrived in the kitchen to see her, Fi, and Jimmie waiting for me. It was a Saturday, and a bright morning too, about ten o'clock.
"Yes?" I asked putting both my hands into my back pockets.
"Could you help Fi and Jimmie in the attic? I was going to give Jack's old clothes to the thrift store when we moved here, but I never got around to it. And since Jimmie is here, I guess he could have them." Molly wiped her hands on a dishtowel, then put her hands on my shoulders, and smiled.
"Sure," I smiled, "No problem."
-
We walked up the dusty stairs that folded down into the hallway from the ceiling. The stuff in the attic wasn't too dirty though, we moved into this house only a year ago. We found the box pretty fast seeing as it said, "Jack's Old Cloths," on it.
We opened the box, pulling out a small orange shirt that stated, "Hope Springs Elementary."
"Hehe," I laughed, "These look really old."
Jacks a senior in high school now.
"Wait, I think we have old year books around here somewhere," Fi got up and looked around.
I kept looking through the cloths, holding them up one-by-one to Jimmie to see if they'll fit.
"Annie?" he asked.
"Yes," I smiled.
"You don't like me do you?" He looked serious.
"Yes I do, why would you think that?" Darn Fi! I know she told him! "Did someone tell you that?"
"No, I can sorta' tell, I know you feel weird around me, it's kinda' obvious," He blinked.
Was it that obvious?
"Well," I said dropping a shirt back into the box, "I feel like-"
"I know that it's hard to believe, Annie, I probably wouldn't believe it myself, but it's true. I just came here, I didn't mean to, I wish that I could prove it to you."
"I looked at him, I now knew that he wasn't lying- it accrued to me just then, 'how can a person make all that up?' Plus, 'how did he get into the house if we were all home, there's no way up from the windows. And how does he know all that stuff about us?'
Jimmie sneezed, "I hate dust, hehe," He laughed.
I laughed too.
"I found them!" Fi called. Jimmie and I walked over to her.
She had a bright blue yearbook in her hand. It looked pretty old. It was Mollys.
We looked up McQuinn, because that was her maiden name.
While we were flipping through the pages Jimmie stopped us, "Wait!" He said, "Isn't that Rebecca, your mom's friend?"
"Yeah," Fi looked, "yeah it is-"
- Just then my mind went black and then I appeared in a black room, my hands here in the air, across from me was Fi, next to me was Irene, on the left side was a huge elephant creature with four arms, all raised into the air. Jimmie was in the middle of our circle; we were all wearing ancient Egyptian clothing. I felt naked, the gold touching my body was cold, then we all turned to look at a beautiful black girl, 'Rebecca,' I saw myself say. Behind her was an older woman. They approached us with their hands raised.
-
"WOW!" Fi said. Everything was now normal.
"I just had the weirdest day dream," Jimmie said.
"Me too!" I said. Jimmie looked serious.
"Yeah, me too, we were in a circle, and-"I said.
"We were wearing ancient cloths," Fi said too, "this is 'too weird.'" She looked at us, and then tossed the yearbook behind her.
We nervously laughed to one another, not quite knowing what to think.
