I thought I wouldn't be able to write, but school ended early today so I had time to publish this! Please enjoy!
Previously…
Before I was even in front of the door a girl, the girl who was singing, called from inside the room. "Come in!" She kept the music on.
I stopped in my tracks, and looked around, wondering if she called someone else. I notice no one else, so I slowly opened the door. I know it wasn't a good idea, and it could be a vampire inside that room, but I just somehow trusted who ever was inside.
I opened the door to find…
Shane's POV
I opened the door; before I could even blink I was being choked by a girl with a knife at my neck.
"Who are you?" The girl who was singing hissed. I knew it was the girl who had been singing because they had the same voice. Normally you would make your voice a little higher or lower, but she did neither when she sang. It was the exact same way Alyssa used to sing. 'Weird,' I thought.
The girl looked familiar somehow. She had brown hair that looked really similar with Alyssa's. She had the same brown eyes as me, and her small face was shaped like my dad, Frank's. She could have been my sister. Thinking of Frank made me remember my bad dream, so I just let it slip.
I ignored her question, and kept glaring at her. But while I was glaring at her, I was actually staring and wondering who she was. I just felt like I've seen her before. 'What the heck,' I thought. 'This is Morganville. I could have seen her in Common Grounds or something.'
"I have the whole royal Fay guards out of this window." She said. Her eyes glanced at the window on the right side of the room. It wasn't that big. Just big enough to fit one guy through. "And they can jump up here, you know." She looked at me, staring at my expression. I noticed the only thing that was different from me and the girl, not putting in the sex and age, was that she had a horrible poker face. She was probably twelve of thirteen. She probably had just started her teen life. You could see that she was worried about something. And it wasn't something a normal teenager would worry about. It was something more deep. I just didn't know what.
"Fay?" I said out loud. That was the last thing I thought she would say. "Today's just getting weirder and weirder." I said under my breath.
She seemed to not have heard my blabber, because she went on. "Yes, Fay. You know, Fairy?" When she must have seen that there was no 'Ding!' going off in my head, she started to look more worried. I didn't know why, but I somehow felt over protective about her. 'Maybe because she looked so much like Alyssa…' I told myself, but I knew deep down that wasn't it.
"Please tell me your from around here at least." She begged. She had let the knife slid to the floor, and I felt a trickle of blood run down my neck. The music was still going on. I looked around and found the music coming from a CD player that was on her desk on the left.
"Where is 'here'?" I asked.
No reply from the girl.
Her room, which I assumed was her room, was simple. There was a desk on the left with the CD player, and an ugly backpack on her chair. And that backpack was really ugly. It was dark blue. It was so dark, that it almost looked black. There was a bed and a window on the right. The bed was really simple too. White pillow, with white sheets with the bed made, with no wrinkles. There were a few pictures on the desk, but other than that it looked like no one lived in that room.
I thought the song that was going on, Lady Antebellum's song, wasn't appropriate at that moment. I didn't know the song though. So I tried to turn the CD player off.
"Don't turn it off. The guards are going to hear you, if they haven't heard you already. I bet even a mundane could hear you from a mile away." She laughed weakly. She looked like she was about to cry, but she was holding her tears. I could tell, because her eyes were turning red from the tears in her eyes.
"What did you call me?" I asked. I didn't really feel like people threatening me like that, and I don't let go so easily.
"Mundane. I guess there's no meaning in keeping the Fay secret away from you. If you live here, sooner or later you're going to find out." She said, looking up at me.
"I didn't move here." I said, matter-of-factly.
"Then why are you here? Not 'here' as in this house, because you're probably one of those idiots that try to steal stuff from a rich looking house, am I right?" She asked me.
She looked shocked for a moment. "You… Are you… Shane Collins?" She asked with a shaking voice.
"What if I am?" 'How does she know my name?" I thought. This place was starting to freak me out.
"You are, aren't you?" She looked extremely shocked it was almost funny.
"Just answer my question." I said.
She didn't say anything. But her eyes were shining. Like a kid who found the present she wanted under her tree.
"Who are you then?" I asked. It was only fair, if she knew my name I had the right to know her name.
"My name is…" Before she could finish her sentence, the window crashed open. I had noticed that the music had stopped.
"NO!" I heard the girl say. She sounded panicked.
Please review! Tell me what you think about the story!
I probably won't be able to write tomorrow and probably for the next week. I promised to go see my friend, and I have these club thing for the rest of the week, so... Sorry!
But I hope you read my next chapter too! I know it't taking a long time to find out basic details about the girl, but don't you think it's worth it...? (I hope so!)
I'll try to get the next chapter ready as soon as I can!
