-----------------
"COME BACK HERE, THEIF!!!" The nasty shopkeeper shouted at me. Through all of my planning and long nights, I had finally acheived to steal a loaf of bread. Whoopdee-doo.
Well, no more coming to this part of.... London, had I heard? As young as I am, I already have started my wonderful career as a pickpocket! Yay!
I had already..... er.... stolen... from two stores (Ha, you weren't counting on, TWO, were you? Well, I'm telling the truth, so there). One: this weird loaf of bread. The nasty ol' bearded man didn't even give me the chance to pick out a good one!!
Eeeew... I think this loaf has RAISINS in it. Just my luck, huh?
Two: The shoestore. It said 'Lower Prices Guaranteed!' on the door. So I went in, took some Converse, and gave them the four pounds I had found on the floor (and my boots). They made such a big deal out of it, too. Their only a pair of shoes!
I gave up my boots because I couldn't run in them. Stupid things were too heavy.
Actually, I think the police have given up looking for me. Isn't that nice? They have probably started up again. I can just see it in the papers... 'Weird Girl Steals Loaf of Bread!' on the front cover sheet.
Did they know it had raisins in it? Maybe then they wouldn't make such a big deal.
....Now I have to go through the trouble of picking them all out, so close to my birthday too, October 31.
Haleluyah.
-----------------
Just my day to have bad luck! My fingers weren't working with the guitar too well. My movements were jerkey. What was wrong with me today?
Something wasn't right.
But everything was perfectly normal.
I have to keep on the lookout! .....right...
Coming out of my clogged-up-with-worrying-brain I found a hand waving in front of my face. "Keee-eeeth..." Jake was saying.
"Oh, come on. I know your in there somewhere. Hello? Damn, Keeth, hellooo-ooo....".
"Whatsit?" I said.
"Finally! You have been staring at that very interesting white wall over there for the past..... ten minutes. Whered you go?"
"Hmph. I feel weird," was all I said, which was weird because I wanted to say "In Alaska to visit the Eskimos. While in my journey, I fell into a puddle and got eaten by a whale. Then, Aliens came and got the whale. They found me, but I put a bunch of seaweed on my head, spoke fish, and managed to escape."
"Okaaay... maybe you should go rest for a while. We'll practice more later."
There was no room for argument. I felt weak and weird, and my head was buzzing.
It feels like theres a bee in my head, bouncing on my skull. Did it climb in through my ear?
(Soo, making himself feel even more sick, Keeth went through his door and let the un-peaceful dreams take him into their EVIL grasp. Muahahaha...)
-----------------
And again, traveling through.... er... time and... places.... we join ANOTHER person in their life.
-----------------
October 29. That was the date. Unexplainably, the days have begun to have more wind, the nights colder, darker, cloudy, and the moon had begun to change red.
To the young boy that was staring out of his window, everything had been explained, and he was beggining to feel good again. Kali, Kali! Her birthday is October 31! This had been going on since she was born. A few days before her birthday, the nights would change. Right after it turned November did everything go back to 'normal', which meant she was alive!
---
Alive, alive, alive!! Everything was (almost) good! Except for the part that I had no idea where she WAS.
Lightly bouncing from my bed, I moved silently out of my room. It was time to see what else was going on in the other parts of his house.
I found my mother first, looking out of the window, chilly night air blowing whispers into the house.
"Mother, mother! She is alive!"
She turned around, small smile played at her thin lips. "Indeed," she said, smoothing back my hair like any caring mother would.
Finding my father later, I saw he, too, was at a window. I knew he knew I was there, but I kept silent anyway, daring him with my mind to speak first. Before a minute past I was gone.
-----------------
Two Hours Later....
-----------------
God, it was so boring in this house (Manor).
I had already tried most of everything. Reading was begining to give me a headache. Walking back and forth was tiring me out. Working on potions was starting to get boring. I didn't really feel like talking to anybody at the moment, either.
Exploring? I had done it countless times. Needless to say, I always found something new.
So, I went. Passed a painting I never saw before, interesting. I went down a very creepy and shadowy hallway. During that time...
"Bloody Hell, this is freaky," I said. Creak, creak, creeeeeak. These floors must be really OLD. Uh-oh, I hear something....er....metallic? Actually, I think its coming from behind me.... ooooh, something SHINY... BLOODY HELL!! RUN FOR...my....LIFE!!
If I wasnt me, I would have thought of this as hilariously funny.
...I got attacked by a living armour person thingy. Why did that thing have to be so damn cruel? Weirdly, instead of holding a sword (I'm glad) He was holding a.... pitchfork.
Anyway...
"Eeeep!" I squeaked as I ran (Hey you would too, and I'm only FOUR. Haha). That stupid knight person was making so much NOISE. Grunting and crashing into things. Armour squeaking because it must have been really rusted.
Creeeak, Creak, Creeak, Creak, Creeeeeeeeeak.... That was the floor, to add to the noise.
"WHOA!!" I shouted, just before I fell through a stupid trap door and got attacked by stupid Dust Bunnies.
Bloody Hell, this place was Dust Bunny land. Literally. Under all the dust, I really couldn't tell what anything was, except for tables. I looked around a bit and... spider webs? How could a spider live down HERE? I wouldnt be surprised if it was dead.
Taking the emergency candle out of my pocket because I could hardly see anything, it lit up imediately because of accidental magic. Cool.
Eeew, the air in here was really thick. This room is small, also. One table, one bookshelf, one chair, unlit torches on the wall, dust bunnies, and one lone spider web.
What interested me the most was the book lying on the table. Its title was 'Nights Eyes' and thats it. The material for the cover was really touph leathery stuff. It looked interesting, so I tucked it firmly under my arm. Time to go.
"Milly!" I said, kind of quiet.
There was a small pop, and a house elf appeared. "What is needed for Master Draco?" Squeaked the elf.
"My room, please," I said, and she knew what I was talking about. I was there in two seconds, and Milly was gone. The first thing I saw was how I looked in the mirror. There were still bits of dust flying off me. The next thing was the time, which was ten till dinner.
Quickly putting the book under one of my many pillows, I quickly got ready to go down.
-----------------
An old and tired man paced in his office. He knew he had to. His plan needed to be compete, he needed to succeed. Those people weren't helping, the ones who found Him. They needed getting rid of...
Tomorrow, when the time is right.
Fawkes had gone off, flying in the nights. The bloody girl was still alive, but nobody knew where.
All he knew was his plan had to and was going to succeed, no matter how much pain and suffering other people paid.
-----------------
"Wake up, Keeth! Feeling better? Were going out today. You need another haircut, Kevin wants to stock up on things and Brandon does also, so were all going together. Are you up yet? C.J. and Jake aren't going." Ni said.
"Hnggnnhh...." I said, if you can call it a word. I put my pillow over my head, but was dragged out of bed anyway.
"Yup, well, get ready and come down to breakfast before its all gone. C.J.'s stomach seems to have grown overnight..... sheesh." I laughed at that, and when Ni left I closed my door and changed. Then I went down to breakfast only to find that my favorite cereal had been devowered by that weirdo monster sitting at the table.
"Damn you," I muttered, walking by and getting the less-popular cereal off of the counter. "You probably did that to annoy me."
"If I did, it was for all those things you did to me in the past. So there." C.J. said.
Do you see the complete loons I'm living with?
Finally everything got back to.... regular and the four of us (Me, Ni, Kevin and Brandon) went out, Kevin and Brandow in another way than Ni and I.
"Okay Keeth, I need to go window shopping. Those clothes are calling to me. Here's some money to pay the barber if I don't come soon enough, and meet me here at 3:00. Got it?" Ni said.
"I got some of it. How are the clothes calling to you?" I asked cheekily. She smacked me playfully on the head and hugged me quickly before she crossed the road to the stores. Something in me told me again something wasn't right.... but it was so small I hardly felt it.
I went in and got the regular hair cut. Soon it was done and I paid 15 pounds. She had given me 20. It was 2:00 by the time I was done, so i waited outside the door.
Time went by really slowly, but soon enough, it was three. Looking around happily for Ni, I was somewhat confused when she didn't come at exactly 3:00. She was always usually right on time. No, she was coming now.
She had to be coming. She probably only lost track of the time, I thought to myself.
Seated outside, 3:00 turned into 3:30 and quickly into four. I was so panicked my heart was beating so rapidly I thought it would explode. That feeling was back again, so intense, so....
I ran as fast as I could back to the building. I would tell Jake and C.J. We would find Ni and have a good laugh and everything would be alright. Bursting in through the door, I almost fell at the state of our home. Ruined. Completely, everything was a mess, destroyed.
Looking around, the place smelled a little of blood and struggle.
Something cought my eye though. Something that made me stop in my tracks, stop breathing completely. I fell to my knees and picked up the shining silver chain, with the black heart stone attached. It was so beautiful, and Ni wore it all the time.
....Ni....
It was then a pain exploded in my head, a pain so great and so sudden it made me cry out, and as I did I felt them. Scars ripping open, and memory's that I had hid in the back of my thoughts came flooding back. Thoughts of my childhood, thoughts that I had never wanted to see again....
I was screaming. I was screaming and I couldn't stop, never, never....
It was soon that darkness took me, but I knew that Ni's prized possesion was safe because I grasped it so tightly I knew nobody could pry it out from me.
-----------------
I woke up to the most pain-filled scream I had ever heard. It seemed to be coming from a worn down building I hadn't seen before. Abandoning the raisin-filled-bread, (it did taste bad. Instead, I sucked the life out of a rather juicy rat) I causiously walked toward the building.
The door was slightly ajar, and I slipped in and looked at a horrible sight. Everything, out of place. My senses knew who had been here. Blood was the most smell in the air, though I knew what else there was. A lot of struggle... magic had been used here, and it smells like.....
Man.
Bearded man, he has been here. He has caused more pain.
I seem to have remembered the scream now, and walking to where it was coming from, I halted at the pain-filled sight before me.
He couldn't have been a boy much older than me. Maybe four. He was clutching his head and bleeding quite a lot. I knew I should help him, I had to, and seeing a rag and a sink, I nursed his wounds the best I could.
He had raven-black hair and tanned skin. His face was a little thin too, like mine, and eventually his breathing became evened out and it was then I noticed what he was holding. It entranced me, the stone. I did not take it because it did not belong to me, though.
The stone was small, not quite round and not quite oval. It was pitch black, and seemed to have some sort of mist inside.
I couldn't remember falling asleep myself, the boys head resting on a couch pillow I had found and me leaning on the side (of the couch).
-----------------
Well, everything will become clear in a little while. Yes, it might be a little unclear right now, but don't worry. As for not making a new chappie until now, well... school it the biggest hassle EVER. I havent had a break! Not even on weekends!
