".......................Saskia, I know your not sleeping, open the door." Trembling more, she slowly twisted the lock on her door. Tears started to build up, she twisted the door knob and closed her eyes.
The door was pushed open.
----Chapter 2----
Saskia kept her head down and tightly closed her eyes. Masculine hands picked her up and held her in the air.
".....................Saskia, you alright?" She opened her eyes. Auburn eyes stared right back at her tear covered ones.
"Kai!" She threw her arms around his neck and hugged him closely; she burrowed her face into his neck and started to talk endlessly.
"IwassoscaredinmyroomandIheardthisthudwhenIwaslisteningtoyouansweringthedoorandIwas soscaredbecauseIwasaloneandIthoughtyouwassomeoneelsebecauseyourvoicewasdifferentand IwasshakingsomuchandyouwaswalkingsoslowlyandcreepyandIwasjustfrightened someonemighttakemeawayagain!!"
Kai smirked at his little sister's continuous ramble. She was over-reacting..............just like he was a moment ago. Siblings do share a common personality point. He hugged her close and let her slowly regain herself. He carried her over towards the sofa and sat down, letting her sit in his lap. She sniffled a bit, but quickly wiped away any hints of tears.
"Who was at the door?"
"Salesman."
"Why did you slam the door?"
"He didn't go away."
"How comes there was a thud?"
"I got angry."
"What did you do?"
"I punched the wall."
"Did it hurt?"
"Not anymore."
"Why did you walk slowly?"
"I was thinking."
"How did you know I was awake?"
"You don't sleep that easily."
"Why did you talk so low?"
"I didn't."
"How comes you sounded so low?"
"Your door is thick."
"What did the salesman say?"
"......................Saskia, its time for bed."
"What did the salesman say Kai?"
"Bed."
"He was selling beds?" Kai lifted her up and carried her over towards her bedroom.
"Was he selling beds Kai?"
"He was saying you should go to bed."
"He didn't!"
"How would you know?"
"Because he doesn't know me."
"Maybe he did know you."
"He wouldn't because he hasn't seen me."
"Maybe he saw you one day at school."
"He wouldn't remember me!"
"How would you know?"
"..........................................." Kai set her down and closed the door.
"Get changed and go to bed."
"I need to brush my teeth!"
"Get changed, brush your teeth and go to bed."
"I want a story!"
"Get changed, brush your teeth and go to bed. NOW." Saskia puffed out her cheeks, she never could argue with him. She changed into her pajamas, then stood on the stool provided to reach the sink. She squeezed a slim line of toothpaste onto her purple toothbrush and started brushing her teeth. She rinsed with water and then jogged over to her bedroom. Lying on her bed, she smirked.
"Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaai!"
"What?" He walked in with his arms folded and stared down at her.
"I want a story!"
"I said. Get changed, brush your and go to bed. You got changed, you brushed her teeth. NOW GO TO BED." He walked out, about to close the door.
"Meanie!" Her pitch went up a couple notches to emphasize her point. A second passed, Kai walked back in and stared at her. He then sighed and sat down on the chair near her table. He leaned forward and put his hands together then looked back at her.
"What story."
"A nice one!"
"...................................Nice stories are boring."
"But Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiii!!"
".........................................3 pigs went and built themselves a house. But it wasn't strong enough, so when a wolf came and blew at their house it collapsed. The wolf collected their corpses, roasted them till they were crispy and ate them. The end."
"That's not a nice story!!"
"Course it is, it has nice food in it. Now Goodnight." He exited, closing the door and switched off the lights. Figuring that's the most she could get out of Kai tonight, Saskia slips down under her over-large blanket, and closes her eyes.
One minute passes, five minutes passes, fifteen minute passes, even half an hour passes, still, Saskia lay in her bed wide awake. She looked at her digital clock beside her bed and read aloud in her mind.
"12:06 AM"
She rolled onto her other side for the eighth time and stared at the other side of the room. She didn't know what was keeping her awake; she would always be sound asleep by now. But tonight was different, somehow, but she didn't know what was different. Light footsteps were approaching; she instantly closed her eyes and snuggled deeper into her pillow. Her door opened slowly, letting in some light. The footsteps edged close to her bed and stood still, she breathed in and out slowly a couple of times faking sleep. A hand gently wiped away a stray strand of hair covering her face, then left her face. There was a quiet shift underneath her bed, then slow rummaging. Feeling the figure stand back up, she opened one eye slowly, seeing the back of Kai, she opened both eyes and tried to see what he was looking for underneath her bed. She sees him holding a black, rectangular box the size of A5 paper surface in one of his hands, the moonlight reflecting off her table mirror, revealed it to be made out of velvet. He ran his other hand over the furry surface, and placed the thumb at the edge. Hesitating, he left it closed, and left the room discreetly. Now Saskia was curious. She never really knew a black box would be underneath her bed, to her knowledge, only her toys that she didn't play anymore were shoved underneath. She slowly closed her eyes thinking. A black Box...................what could be in it? Kainever told her anything about a black box.............................She slowly drifted off to sleep.
