Sapphire225: Aw, man. No reviews. I guess not a lot of people like this story. Oh well, at least people are actually reading it. Well, here I go.

Sliding down the wooden stair railings, Sapphire reached the first floor only six feet away from the front door. She wore her Christian school uniform, a blue blouse with a black crosstie and black wavy skirt, along with her navy blue knee-high socks and black dress shoes. Her bangs were right over her dark brown eyes and seemed to wave to the side as she ran into the living room to grab her book bag.

Her rabbit was looped over her right arm as she went to the cabinet next to the refrigerator and reached up to grab some Rice Crispies cereal. She sat at the table and realized that her parents and siblings were not awake yet. Her mother needed to be at work by 9:00 and her father should have already been on his way. Usually, her mother would have been awake to take both her and her sister to school. Her sister had to be at work by 8:10 and she had to be at school by 8:40. For a middle school, let alone a private school, this was rather late in the morning.

Pouring a bit too much sugar in her bowl, she placed her rabbit next to the small flower vase in the center of the table. She poured the milk in and proceeded to eat her breakfast. By that time, she noticed that nobody was around during the time.

Where is everyone? Now this was getting quite strange and very annoying. Then it hit her.

"Shoot! I forgot they went out of town!"

Indeed, her family except for her had went to say hello to there relatives. She had decided to stay because she was supposed to go to the ending vacation the school was having: a trip to the Bahamas, for all the graduates. She was going to graduate the eighth grade soon and she, along with the fifth grade and high school seniors, had a vacation for them for scoring high for the Standardized testing.

She remembered that her aunt was supposed to take her to school today. Her aunt was assigned to take care of her while they were out. They said they would have been gone for about a week or so. But, her aunt was in college to become a lawsuit.

But, her aunt should have been awake by now. It was 7:51 and her school was a bit far away.

By that time, Sapphire had finished her cereal and had her black school sweater on. Her black and pink backpack was on as she went upstairs to search for her aunt. No such luck. She was nowhere to be found.

She called out her aunt's name, but no answer came. She stopped as she noticed a sign on the guest room door. Sapphire leaned forward and began to read the letter.

Dear Sapphire,

I'm sorry I am not here at the moment. I was just called early this morning for an emergency. I will be gone for quite a while. I'm sorry but by the time I get home, you will probably be asleep. Since you finished all your exams, I think all the grades are already in and they will not mark you late or absent. If so, I will tell them what happened. Just enjoy your stay home. There is some leftover chicken in the refrigerator. I love you.

Sincerely,

Your aunt, Stacy

"Great. Just great…"

Sapphire would have usually been happy to stay home from school, but not today. The school was going to throw a farewell party to the seniors and afterwards, a party. And they had her favorite event: Dunk your favorite teacher.

Oh well. Sapphire walked to her room and dropped her bag at the foot of her bed. She undressed out of her uniform outfit. Once she was only in her bra and panties, she walked to her closet and saw a pair of casual clothes. She grabbed a pink spaghetti strap top with a red heart in the center. She also grabbed herself a pair of light blue caprice with a pink flower design which stopped about a foot away from her feet. She pulled on her white socks and placed her white tennis shoes with a pink "Shaq" design on sides and a pink outline.

She grabbed her silver cross necklace, pink wristband which said "Peace" and white sweatband with a Nike check in the center. After placing them on her, she remembered that her toy rabbit was lying against the vase on the table. She went back down stairs and grabbed her rabbit.

Sapphire smiled to herself and began to twiddle with its right ear. "I'm becoming quite forgetful, aren't I Truffles?"

Sapphire had named her rabbit that name only a year before her grandmother had died. She thought having its name be anonymous would reduce the chances of anyone stealing it, for an unknown reason.

Sapphire gave her rabbit a small hug before closing her closet door. She walked out of her room and sat on the couch. Sapphire felt her eyes grow heavy. She had gone to bed late at night. She had a record of falling asleep in class, even though she was able to finish her work before doing so.

Sapphire's eyes began to tug downward ever so slowly on her. It was only thirty seconds later until she had fallen asleep. Her rabbit rested against her chest, both arms around it, as if it was also resting against her.

Unbeknownst to her, amethyst glowing eyes peered over the young teenager. The eyes narrowed over the young girl.

"Yesss…"

Darkness began to engulf the room. Nothing was visible except for the glowing eyes which peered over her form. Out of the darkness, a purple glove with a red aurora gently touched her forehead. She began to levitate ever so slowly in the air. The couch began to vanish in the darkness.

The light began to dim down on the young girl and the large eyes shifted to the doll which was pressed against her chest.

"And you would make an awesome weapon…"

The hand moved away from the young girl's face and touched the rabbit's chest. As soon as the gloved hand retreated, the rabbit began to glow also. It's fur slightly flowing up and down.

Sapphire slept quietly through the whole process. The darkness began to fade into light and the leering eyes disappeared. She was now lying against the couch again, no physical changes made on her.

However, her rabbit was now far from normal.

Sapphire225: I feel kind of sad that not a lot of people looked at my story, but at least it is being read. Nonetheless, I will continue with it.
