Rhydian POV
I woke up to a ghostly mist outside my window. I stretched and then all of last night came back to me. "Coward" I said to myself in the mirror as I tied my tie. I sighed and dragged my bag downstairs. I grabbed a piece of toast and legged it outside before I had to make conversation with my foster parents. They are okay but after grounding me when I "nearly" ran to Canada, they have got on my nerves. "It's only a girl Rhydian" they would say, "plenty more fish in the sea love." They just didn't understand- Maddy and I had something in common with each other. It brought us together, a special bond that no one could break until two months ago when Maddy had to leave because of Dr. Whitewood.
I wish I could call her and say "Dr Whitewood is on our side now Maddy- you can come home", but I can't even do that because I don't have her phone number anymore. It's a pretty pathetic excuse but I am pathetic. Maddy had to leave her phone in case she was tracked on it. I tried eolas once but it was un-clear because of the seas that separate us and also it was upsetting because Maddy was crying about having to leave Stoneybridge. I daren't use it again in- case I can see clear and all I see is Maddy running around woods with someone else.
Maddy POV
I stretch my arms and gaze out of the window. Great- it's raining, I think to myself. Now I'm stuck inside all day. I pull my jeans and t-shirt on and then I slowly crawl down the stairs. "Morning Maddy!" My mum is always so cheery. I don't get it- we have lost our home and our lives and she still manages to act bright and breezy. She has laid out breakfast. At the far end of the table, dad sits reading the newspaper. I gulf down the porridge and then I walk up back to my bedroom. Mum has allowed me the morning off lessons because well she's the best!
I sit down and start reading my book New Life by Harrietann. I love books because they take me away. I must have drifted off to sleep because it has been 2 hours. I get up and walk downstairs. "Mum are we going to start English then or what?" No reply. That is strange. I go to see if my dad is in the workshop. "Dad are you there" I say as I walk down the front steps leading towards the garden. This is strange.
I decide to walk back into the house. Just as I am about to open the front door, something tugs at my shirt. It must be a plant I decide. I turn around to un- hook the shirt but it isn't a plant holding on… "arrrh", I scream but my legs are frozen solid.
Oooh I'm cruel. Bit of a cliff hanger! Please review. New chapter tomorrow xxx Oh and cheeky little bit about my other fanfic New Life! Sorry couldn't help it..ahaha
