Chapter Eight

The cover of Darkness


Izzy sat on her blue covered bed, reading a magazine. She felt a little nervous.

Was it that she had a hot date with Philippe the French exchange student tomorrow? Well, no. Not really. Was it that she had to go fight off Meridian soldiers in the school tonight? Well, going to back to school in the middle of the night was terrifying (after all who would want to go to school at midnight?)

No, Izzy was scared because she had to find a way to sneak out of her house without her parents finding out. Yeah, she was totally not going to make it… But she couldn't let her friends down. They were expecting her on this cold, dark night to sneak into the school with them and fight off evil or whatever.

Izzy sat up, she let the magazine fall to the floor. She took her pillows and a whole heap of her dirty clothes and piled them under her blankets. She still had her childhood rag doll… with the long brown hair. She placed it so it looked like her pile of clothes had a head and fully pulled the blankets over it.

"I hope that's good enough to fool them," Izzy whispered, dusting off her hands.

She crawled over to the door and opened it slightly. She could hear cop sirens… oh, shit had her parents figured out that she was sneaking out already and called the cops? Izzy panicked… until she heard the sound of a car crash. It was only a movie and all that noise was all fake.

"Wait, if they're down there… oh, man… great now how am I meant to sneak out?" Izzy moaned, quietly. She knew there was only one way… and it was not pretty.

She need to use the window.

Only problem the landing. Izzy knew that her window was a no go. It was too far of a drop… unless she could transform but Wanna and the Heart were properly already at school so no such luck.

She was going to have to use her sister's window to get out… after all step out the window and then there was the garage roof which in Izzy's eyes was a much safer way to get out.

Izzy heard the water in her sister's bathroom go on… 'Perfect,' Izzy thought, grabbing her bag, which had her jacket and a water bottle and other things she may need for tonight… or the next day in Meridian…. Hey! It happened once!

Izzy slipped off her shoes and put them in her bag too. The floor upstairs and in her sister's room was carpet but Izzy wasn't going to take a chance. Well technically she was since she was sneaking into her room.

Her sister's room was very clean and very well organized. Her books, alphabetized, bed, perfectly made.

Fiona was in the bathroom, brushing her teeth.

Izzy walked, quietly over to the window. Her gut felt so sick.

She hadn't snuck out in a very long time… maybe it was because she didn't have too. She had a good relationship with her parents, they let her go out no problem. Expect that one time… but she snuck out anyway…

Izzy tried to open the window… she pulled as hard as she could… But her fingers slipped and her finger nails made a horrible grinding noise on the window frame.

Fiona opened her bathroom door. Her toothbrush in her hand and her dark brown hair in a low, loose ponytail she looked at Izzy with wide eyes.

"What. Are. You. Doing. In. my. Room?" Fiona demanded, her hands on her hips as she stomped over to Izzy.

"Uh… I think… I… uh lost my favorite necklace! Have you seen it?" Izzy asked. Fiona said one thing. "Liar, You're sneaking out. Some crazy rave?" She asked, slyly.

"No… do I look like I'm dressed for a rave?" Izzy stated, modeling her inky blue jeans, black long sleeved top and blue hoodie. "I'm looking for my necklace,"

Fiona studied Izzy. "Okay… then why do you have your bag?"

"I was going to put it down stairs for school tomorrow," Izzy said, improvising.

"Still dressed?" Fiona asked.

"Haven't had time?" Izzy said.

"Doing what?" God. Fiona was so annoying sometimes, she really was.

"Internet?" Izzy guessed. Fiona raised an eyebrow.

"Blogging?" Izzy said.

"Fine… I guess your story makes sense…I don't know what necklace you're talking about… it's not here. If you were more organized you wouldn't have lost it," Fiona said, turning her back on Izzy and going to the bathroom.

"Now… get out of my room and go to bed," Fiona demanded. Izzy dashed out of the room

"Okay… that so totally didn't work…" Izzy muttered. "Now what? Call the others and bail?" Izzy pulled out her cell phone… "Puh-lease… not going to happen I haven't let them down yet," Izzy said, under her breathe. She went back into her room and sat down.

"Okay 3 minutes and she'll be in bed… the average person takes seven minutes to fall asleep… okay 10 minutes. Mmmm I think I'll cut my nails," Izzy thought out aloud.

"Okay… 3 minutes down, oh great," Izzy thought. She opened her laptop… which was her birthday present to herself. She bought it with the money she made at the Deli. It was worth every penny, it was like her child.

Izzy shut off her laptop and crept into her sister's room. The light was off. She lightly tapped on the door and slowly opened it.

She peeked in… Fiona was in bed… asleep! BINGO!

"That was a good movie, I want to be a copper now," Izzy heard her father say as he walked up stairs.

Izzy quickly ducked in to her sister's room.

"Want to check on the kids?"

"Nah, too tired,"

Izzy left out her breath… then held it in again. She didn't want to wake up Fiona. She walked over to the window.

'Why was it so hard to open before?' Izzy thought. Then she noticed that it was locked. She was going to had to get her keys out. Lucky her.

She quickly and quietly dug into her messenger bag and fished around quickly and quietly for them found them and quietly took them out of her bag.

She found her window key and unlocked the window. She slipped out the window, closing it quietly behind her.

It was windy and wet. She should have brought her umbrella…

She took out her shoes and put them one and then she ran off into the night.
