Here's Chapter two! To be honest I am currently on Iron Queen that's why I haven't updated until now. I will improve hopefully and I encourage you to post what you think about this, good or bad it will help me improve the story.


Chapter two:

My entire world was spinning, my head was throbbing and I can sense people near me. I didn't dare move, the suffocating feelings I have around people made me too nervous.

"What's wrong with her? What happened?"

Someone's yelling across the room. I didn't want to open my eyes because I've been trying to remember what I was doing, who I am, and what my dream was. I have a funny feeling about all of this. This place smells familiar, smells natural. I tried to cock my head to one side to see better but my headache prevented me and I let out a small squeak of pain. Immediately I felt a hand reach for mine. I opened my eyes to see my brother, Rick smiling down at me.

"Hey turtle."

"Hey"

I tried to prop myself up with my elbow but Rick pushed me down, shaking his head. He looked at the nurse and scowled at her. This took me by surprise because to others Rick was always a gentleman he never did any harm to anyone unless they hurt me.

"What happened to my little sister?"

The nurse looked at me with a gleam in her eye then turned to Rick facing her back to me.

"She fainted in class according to Ms. Kirkland."

I closed my eyes and tried to concentrate the last thing I remember was dumping my things on my desk and Liana leaning forward toward me asking if I was alright. Nothing else popped up so I must have fainted.

"That's all?"

Rick's face was carefully blank as he stared at the nurse eyes narrowing as she fixed her white skirt. She faced me and handed me a glass of water while she led Rick to another part of the clinic to talk about me. I drank the water thankfully and felt drowsy immediately and fell back asleep.

The school was deserted when I woke up. The lights were all on but I didn't sense anyone in the building. I got up from the white bed slowly and stared to wander the school. I had a funny feeling inside, like something was pulling me. My feet brought me to the oldest part of the building was located where all the old classrooms were. An eerie blue light was coming from one of the old computer labs. I peered inside and saw all the computer monitors were on. I tapped the mouse of the nearest computer and the screen was blank at first but then the keyboard started typing by itself

Summer child your quest begins on the day of the 21st when it all started to fall in place for the dark queen's plan.

I looked at the message horrified the 21st is my birthday and again with the summer child. I tried to turn the computer off but it wouldn't respond the whole computer room started to buzz and all the screens started to show the same thing. Typing the same thing over and over again I ran out of the room screaming. I heard a maniacal laugh and I started to run faster. My legs felt like led but I had to keep running I just had to. Where ever I ran my feet felt sluggish and I would always end up at the end of the east corridor leading to an empty classroom. The same eerie blue light was emitting from the classroom I ran away from it but I kept finding myself in front of it every time I try to run. The maniacal laughter following me where ever I went, exhausted I stopped in front of the classroom and collapsed. I started sobbing, admitting defeat already.


"Cyrille!"

I opened my eyes and saw Rick's eyes gleaming with concern. He was holding me down as I continue to flail in bed.

"Calm down. It was just a dream."

I sucked in air to calm myself down and slowly Rick's arms retracted back to his sides. I looked at the clock and noticed that it's already 6 in the evening. I looked at Rick questioning why we're still here. He shook his head and scowled at the nurse. My gaze turned to her and she pursed her lips at us.

"You're staying here over night. I already asked your mother. Now leave boy and let the girl rest. You can't do anything for her."

"I will stay with my little sister."

"What about all my needs, clothes and stuff?"

"We already have them waiting for you on the other bed, deary."

Rick glared at her for a few minutes before Rick sighing. He turned to me and kissed me on the forehead. I looked up at the nurse nervously. She smiled at me reassuringly. I watched as Rick left without looking back. The nurse offered me some more water and I refused afraid to fall asleep.

"Nonsense you need this deary now drink up."

I sighed drinking the water down in gulp. Drowsiness attacking me once more, this time with no more disturbing dreams.


When I woke up I was feeling fresh and energized. The nurse smiled at my progress of recovery and allowed me to go home. Rick and Robbie were waiting for me outside. I greeted them with a smile while I jogged down the steps. Robbie, Rick's bestfriend, smiled at me.

"Hey guys."

"Hey princess I heard you were locked away."

I laughed, Robbie loves to play around but nothing we can't handle. Rick hugged me and didn't release me until I started hitting his arms his grip was strong and choking.

"Easy, easy I might have to go back to the clinic because of you."

"Sorry turtle but I missed you."

I smiled, my brother is sometimes a nuisance but he's always there for me no matter the situation. We're always together. I looked at Robbie, he wiggled his eyebrows at me his red hair shining in the sunlight I grabbed both their arms and steered them to the car.

"Let's go home."

"Turtle wait up"

"Seeking freedom so eagerly princess, was the night that bad?"

I shook my head I just wanted to go home fast. I felt uneasy near the school right now. I got in the front seat and waited for Rick to get in the driver's seat Robbie got in the back of the old pick up and pounded the hood of the car. Rick buckled his seatbelt and started the engine.

"Let's get this show on the road!"

"Alright, alright already just wait for a few minutes"

I turned on the radio playing with the dials until I found my favorite station. We were a mile out of school already and 10 miles away from home. I rolled down my window and looked at all the trees around us. I saw long sharp silver claws near one of the trees as we passed by it and I whirled my head around but it was gone.

You're tired that's all.

I told myself this over and over until we were half way home. Me and Robbie started singing to the songs on the radio. Everything was peaceful but there's this uneasiness tugging at me. I screamed as a huge metallic Pray mantis jumped in front of our car, making Rick turn left sharp hitting a tree.
