Daughter of Ipswich
Falling Down the Rabbit Hole
Boys, Water, Speedos Mix Too Well
I sat in the corner not caring about the swimming, and I doubt my coach was wondering where I was. In fact all the swim coach carried about was if everyone showed up. He didn't care what do you did, as long as you were in your swimsuit and in the pool area, during class.
Tyler and Reid stood up next to me, while I sat upon several flotation devices, casually looking at the other students who were socializing and swimming.
"So, what did the Provost want?" Tyler asked, as my brother and Caleb approached us.
I kept looking over at the pool, away from the guys, since I really didn't want to be face-to-face with their "manly glory".
Caleb sighed and explained, as I spotted him crossing his arms out of the corner of my eye," Someone told him about the fight at Nicky's."
"Probably Aaron," I grumbled, wishing I could have done of a Darth Vader thing and killed Aaron via chocking him or something like that.
"Feel like elaborating on that, Caleb?" Reid mused, as he placed a reassuring hand upon my head, obviously sensing my hatred of Aaron.
The boys were silent for a couple of seconds, making me look up at the boys.
It was then I saw my brother's devious grin, as he reached out over to Reid's face, teasing," You got a piece of glass in your face. Hold on."
Tyler instantly started laughing, along with me, while Reid rolled his eyes. Thus, I gathered that the boys were all friends again, and had forgiven each other.
"So what did you do during study hall?" My brother looked down at me, and ruffled my hair slightly, with his hand.
The boys in turn looked down at me, making me shrug my shoulders," Nothing much...just did some research."
"On what?" The boys asked in unison, obviously not understand me.
I stood up, and explained, quietly," To be honest, I'm a little sick and tired of these freaky dreams I have been having, the darkling that was in my bedroom last night-"
"There was a darkling in your bedroom?" Reid gasped, reaching grabbing my arms, shaking me slightly.
Pogue whispered, quietly, as I starred up at Reid," Yeah, it was just standing there starring at her. It didn't go until she told it to leave."
"You told it to leave?" Caleb whispered, curiously, making Reid's hands fall off of me.
"Yes," I answered, looking up at him," Your fa-...William told me to tell the darkling to go back to its master, if one ever bothered me. And it worked."
The boys were silent for several seconds, before to took a step back and continued," And my research told me only someone who was ascended could manage to pull off a darkling it the one I saw."
"How would you know?" Tyler questioned looking surprised as ever, while my brother looked down at his feet. He knew I had my book of Ipswich.
Caleb then quietly defended me," She has a book, and...my dad has told her a lot."
"What?" Reid squawked loudly, making a couple of people look over at us.
I just rolled my eyes, before sneering to the boys," I'm the least of your boys' worries, there is someone out there sending darklings and coded dreams to me! And there is another snake in your mist too."
With that I stomped off, a little angry at myself for letting a hint slip about Sarah and her deviousness.
Oh well...uncertain times can cause random things to happen in people and reveal a part of them they never knew they had before.
