CHAPTER NINE: RUNNING OUT OF HIS ARMS

(Vitamin R by Chevelle)

Len's POV

I yawned as I sat up in my dad's bed. He was there beside me still sleeping. I laughed at how he snored and climbed off the bed. I had to go potty; I mean go to the restroom. When I came back, he was still asleep. I climbed on the bed and jumped on him.

"What the hell!?" Dad shouted sitting up and calmed down when he saw that it was I.

Some learn; many do.

Cover up or spread it out.

"What is a hell?" I asked curiously. Dad's eyes widened in surprise.

"What...?" He asked as if not sure I said that.

"What's a hell?" I asked again.

"It's a place where....uh....bad people go." He told me. I was now confused.

"I don't understand...why did you say 'what the hell'?"

"It's an expression that people use when they are surprised." He explained holding me while standing up. "Never mind....let's go take a bath." I smiled. Taking baths with father was never boring.

Turn around, had enough,

Pick and choose or pass it on.

Buying in, heading for

Suffer now or suffer then.

"Len...don't!" Dad shouted as I cannon balled into the water, which came up everywhere. He laughed and dove in after me. "You are going to pay for that."

I swam away from him as fast as I could, but he caught me anyway and ticked me.

"Wet...me...go!" I managed between the giggles.

"I don't know if you had enough..." He said still tickling me. He stopped when I swallowed some water. I burped a bubbled and laughed. It landed on his nose and popped. He laughed.

"I'm hungwy." I complained. Dad grabbed me, climbed out, and dried both of us.

It's bad enough

I want the fear...need the fear

Cause he's alone (where have we gone)

He's alone (where have we gone)

"What do you want to eat?" He asked as he sat me in a chair at the kitchen table.

"Food." I answered. He sighed and rolled his eyes.

"Ok...that would be just about everything in the kitchen...." He stated crossing his arms. I giggled.

"Can I have some fwuit?"

"That's it."

"And pancakes and syrup and eggs and sausage and juiwce and cewral and..."

"HEY! That's enough. You're not feeding an army." Dad said starting breakfast up. I pouted. It got bored just sitting down while Dad cooked, so I climbed out of the chair and walked around the castle.

All without making it and your pushing it and your leading us along

The hassle of all the screaming fans the had it makes when its most

"Little boy..." A voice called me. I shivered at the cold feeling that came upon me. "Little here."

"Where are you?" I asked looking.

"Follow me voice..." The voice told me, which I did.

"Who are you?" I asked seeing a light behind a locked door. The door shook a little when I touched it.

"Someone whose cold...let me out...I want to get warm....Let me out...we can be...friends..." It cooed. I smiled and tried to turn the doorknob but it would not.

"It won't open." I told it. The door shook again.

"You have to...." "LENNY!" Dad yelled running and grabbing me up. He walked to my room and sat me on my bed.

"Len, you are grounded." He said walking out of the room.

"But I didn't do anything...." I pouted.

After all, what's the point?

Cause levitation is possible.

If your a fly; a cheating gun.

There's time for this and so much more.

"No, but you were about to." He said turning around to look or more like glare at me. My bottom lip shook.

"But..."

"I don't want to hear about any buts except yours, which is going to stay in this room for the rest of your visit." He left slamming the door.

"He wied..." I said starting to cry. "He said that since he didn't visit anymore that I could come and visit him anytime and it would just be us..." I lied down and cried into my pillow. "Daddy.............sniff.........Daddy..............doesn't wove me.........sniff..........any..............he doesn't.................wove........me..........any more......................."

It's typical, come write a world

A special place of my designs

To never cope or never care just use the key

Cause he's alone (where have we gone)

He's alone (where have we gone)

"He wied..............sniff...............it was..................suppose to be.............just me...........and him......................sniff............." After crying for about 30 min, I stopped, wiped my face, and attempted to run away. I gathered some of my clothes, toys, and left over candy treats. "I'm nevew coming back. He doesn't wove me anymore and he hates me......

I snuck out of my room and ran, dodging house cleaners and butlers, to the front door. I turned the knob and ran out of the house and into the nearby woods. The further I walked into the woods, the more I regretted it. This was the first time I was ever out alone by myself. I was in the middle of my thoughts when I heard someone scream.

"LENNY! Where are you?" It took me a sec. to realize that it was Dad. I turned and continued walking ignoring his calls for me until they became too close for comfort.

"Len........please......be ok....." I heard Dad panting, but still running.

I ran and hid in a small cave.

All without making it and you're pushing it and you're leading us along

The hassle of all the screaming fans the had it makes when its most

"Len!" Dad called for me again. I saw him run and stop to rest, but only for a second before he started running again. I sneezed and he stopped running. That's when I saw something....following behind him. It was....a spirit. The spirit passed through him and went in front of him.

"I'll look for him master rest." It said and Dad nodded sitting down on the ground. I gasped and the spirit most of heard me, because it came towards me. I backed deeper into the cave. The spirit saw me before I backed into the cave.

"Master! Master, I see something over here!" the ghost yelled. Dad got up in an instance and ran toward the spirit.

"Where...where did you see something at?" Dad asked the spirit.

Over and over a slain

Became

Over and over a slain

Became

Over and over a slain

Became

Over and over a slain

Became

Cause he's alone (where have we gone)

He's alone (where have we gone)

"Len! Listen come out here right now!" Dad shouted sounding worried. I frowned.

"Stupid ghost thingy....." I mumbled, but it being a cave, magnified the sound making it normal sounding.

"Len, I hear you. If you won't come out. I'm coming in. You don't know what's in this cave." He said walking in. I backed up until I hit something hard and solid.

All without making it and you're pushing it and you're leading us along

The hassle of all the screaming fans the had it makes when its most

Dad saw me and smiled. I started pouting at having been found when the wall move. Dad's smile easily turned into fear when the wall stood up with me in its arms. It growled and slammed Dad through the wall and onto the ground.

"Wet me go!" I yelled struggling against the thing.

"No.....you're my friend...." I gasped. It was the same voice as the one in the door.

"How? I thought you were stuck..." I asked confused.

"I'm positing this cave so that you can come back to the castle and we can run away together." The voice explained. I relaxed a little.

"You are not taking my son anywhere." Dad said getting up and dusting himself off. "I will not let your evil stain his purity." Dad then started glowing.

"Zone, spirit unity!" He grabbed a small puffball and pushed it into his chest. The beast growled and its hold on me tighten.

All without making it and your pushing it and your leading us along

The hassle of all the screaming fans the had it makes when its most

"Prepare to die!" A voice shouted from my dad's body. I gasped. This wasn't Dad, it was something else......Then one sentence passed my lips.

"What the hell!?"

How was this chapter? I know I promised more action, and you're getting it. It's going to happen in the next chapter! Thanks for all of the reviews and song suggestions. I'm happy to change it to keep you happy. I have a question though....would you guys like it better if I use Japanese names or English? Anyway, thanks again for the reviews and let me know if I need to add more action, romance, comedy, etc or anything! Just name it!
