Toy
Chapter 2
Investigator
I was in the kitchen, preparing dinner for Charlie. Undoubtedly he would have another completely faux case for me. I always figured it out, it was like a game, and he would tell me how proud he was and how I would make a great investigator when I was older, but he always gave me the lecture of how as long as he were alive I would never go into the field. Nevertheless, I liked the little murder mysteries he prepared for me. They were getting easy, the answers simpler every time, so I did hope that he had something better tonight.
Then I heard the door slam shut, and my father's heavy footsteps. I went to meet him.
"Hi, Dad," I said, beaming at the package in his hands.
"Oh, hey Bells, I got another case for you." He handed me the package, and I ripped it open excitedly. This particular case was about the murder of a young girl.
I said goodnight to my dad, then ran upstairs where I did my homework and started this case.
It was a lot harder than the last one. Hardly any clues at all, just one or two at first but when I really got into it I saw many others, and I managed to finish after a few hours.
When I fell asleep that night, I dreamed a strange, different dream. This time I was surrounded by fog, and a velvet, honeyed voice called out to me.
"You know you want to...Bella, follow me. I can give you everything..."
When I woke up I was drenched in sweat again, and late. I hurriedly got dressed and drove to school.
The lady behind the front desk rose her eyebrows at me, and wagged her finger. I smiled apologetically and hurried to English, my first class. All conversation was on the new students. The Cullens. From what I picked up from overhearing Lauren's very loud conversation, There were 5 kids. All adopted and beautiful. Their parents were Dr. and Mrs Cullen, Dr Cullen having newly arrived at the local hospital. There were 3 boys and 2 girls, 2 of the boys already taken by the girls, and the one that every girl was talking about and in the process of pulling, or at least trying to? Edward Cullen. He was famous as a lady's man, well, this was going to be a very pleasant year. Not.
The bell rang, and I walked slowly and sluggishly to the cafeteria, I wasn't going to eat anything, I never did eat at school. I heard giggling come from the girls' locker room, and a murmur of "Oh, Edward". I stared at the door, disgust creeping into my stomach, a loud moan came from behind the door, and I swiftly walked down the corridor, the complete disgust rising and filling me.
AUTHORS NOTE
Okay, short but the chapters will get longer and much more interesting in the very near future, I will try to get to that point quickly, but you'll have to bear with me until that point and review, please! I don't like to be pushy but if you don't review, I might stop writing it. Thank you for reading!
