Well I'm glad yall enjoyed my first chapter, things are actually slowing down now in the chapters, now I must warn you I can't remember anything about WW1, and last chapter is set in 1914 sorry about the 1913, so heads up anyway, we're about to find out something very strange about Sky, so tata and enjoy!
Sky glanced around the large living room, she couldn't believe how rich these people were. She had met a maid named Ellen and the cook, who didn't like her all that much, but she didn't care, she didn't care about anything really.
She propped her feet on the table and then she heard from upstairs "Feet off the table!" It was Mary of course and Sky stared towards the stairs, how did she know that?
Sky sat up straight as she heard the front door open and close, Mr. Banks was home.
"Yes yes Ellen, a new nanny? How old? 15! Well you said Mary Poppins was here to help, so I'll get on with it." Mr. Banks said as he headed for the living room. "You are here for the nanying postition? Cor..." Mr. Banks stopped in his tracks as he got a clear look at Sky, and could not place where he'd seen her.
"You look familar, have I seen you before?" Mr. Banks asked.
"No! I mean no sir." Sky replied softly.
"Hm, well you've met the children I presume and you have help yes?" Mr. Banks asked.
"Yes sir." Sky replied standing to her feet.
"Well get to it then. I am very busy." Mr. Banks said and he stompped off.
"Yes sir!" Sky hissed as she saluted and stalked up the staircase. As she walked passed the nursery, where the children were sleeping, and a small cry for help came.
Sky opened the door quickly and she saw Jane crying silently on her bed, but Michael was fast asleep.
"What's wrong now Jane?" Sky asked in a kind voice as she walked in the room and sat next to her.
"I had a nightmare." Jane whimpered.
"Aw sweetie, it's all right." Sky said hugging her and Jane buried her head in her blouse.
"Please will you stay here until I fall back to sleep?" Jane asked as Sky tucked her, somewhat, back in.
"Ok but if you ask me to sing, I'll throw you in a chimney." Sky laughed.
"I'll bet you have a pretty voice, please sing." Jane said.
Sky made a funny face, what had she gotten herself into? She was a theif, begger, and a liar, but Jane seemed to like her, and Bert was watching out for her, Mary to, even though she felt a strange resemblance to Mary, but shge just surpassed it and began to sing.
(Yeah, it's an Evanescence song, I've been thinking of it a lot lately and its a little lullaby to me and scary to some people, anyway I promised I wouldn't do these anymore, and Sky sounds like Amy Lee just a little and it's Sky's theme song, ok back to story!!)
How can you see into my eyes
Like open doors
Leading you down into my core
Where I've become so numb
Without a soul
My spirit's sleeping somewhere cold Until you find it there
And lead... it... back.. home
Wake me up
(Wake me up inside)
I can't wake up
(Wake me up inside)
Save me
(Call my name and save me from the dark)
Wake me up
(Bid my blood to roll)
I can't wake up
(Before I come undone)
Save me
(Save me from the nothing I've become)
As Jane fell asleep, Sky saw a shadow walk across the rooftops, then another, who could be up there at this time of night, she was going to find out.
Sky slid down the banister backwards and rushed out the door, well through it actually, seeing as it was wide open, and looked for the two shadows again.
As she glanced around she then saw them again and chased after them trying to be quiet, but her shoes wouldn't shut up. When she rounded the corner she ran right into another chimney sweep.
"Hey! Get out of my way!" Sky yelled as she turned around and began running.
"My apologies miss!" He called and he looked at her with love in his eyes and he had just ran into her.
Sky then spied her targets, it was Bert and Mary and they were staring at the sidewalk. Then they held hands and jumped not on something, but right into it!
"What the hell?" Sky said under her breath as she walked over to the picture and saw two people or ants was more like it, walking in the picture. "This is so screwy." Sky said getting on one knee and touching the picture. "Hmm." She thought aloud and then suddenly she found herself in the painting, she wasn't having a good day so far.
As she looked around, she seemed to be in an English countryside, and her clothes had changed from a blouse and skirt from a full fledged dress and she hated it. "Oh my sweet Lord help me." Sky prayed silently.
Sky wanted to kick or kill somebody, and how she wished she could kill Mary and Bert, but she had never killed anyone before and wasn't going to start now and in her own way she liked those two, and she was plotting on getting them together.
Sky looked again for them and then she spotted them and they were singing and dancing and cute little animals were dancing and singing to. "What is up with these people? Do they not know you don't have to sing and dance all the time?" Sky asked herself, rather ticked off.
As she continued to follow them, a few of the animals started to follow her and she thought they were rather cute, especially the little fox. The little fox followed Sky around, and everytime she would try and scare it off, it just got closer.
"Freaking little creature! Go away!" Sky yelled. The little fox's ear dropped and began to walk away, but insted Sky stopped it and apologized.
"I'm sorry, would you like to help me find me... 'friends.'" Sky said.
The little fox perked up it's ears and barked.
"OK, well you need a name, um, how about Julie, do you like that?" Sky asked.
The fox shook her head no and Sky thought again.
"I got it!" She said snapping her fingers. "Lilli's what I'll call you! You like that eh?" Sky asked.
"I do mum." Lilli replied and Sky nearly keeled over.
"Oh my God! You can talk!" Sky shouted.
"Yes, and don't take the Lord's name in vain, now you said you wanted my help, I saw them, they went that way on merry go round harses." Lilli said.
"Ok well, I.. wait did you say merry go round harses?" She asked. "Oh yeah! Horses." Sky replied thinking for a moment.
"Yes mum, if you go at a run, you should catch up to them, but be warned it be dark now, and not safe." Lilli warned.
"I'm a theif, nothing scares me." Sky said as she ripped the sleeves from her dress and threw them down on the ground.
"Well, if I were a theif, I would turn myself in before anyone got hurt." Lilli said.
"If you were a theif people would get suspicious." She replied as she looked around, and in a field not but maybe 50 feet away, was a horse, almost to dark to see.
"Aha, there's my ticket." Sky said as she started to walk that way. Lilli, of course, walked the other direction, or tried to, but Sky grabbed her tail and pulled her to her.
"And just where are you going?" She asked holding Lilli's face to hers.
"Faith and begara! 'Tis a scary theif!" Lilli said as she jumped on Sky's shoulder and hid her head under her hair.
Sky rolled her eyes and continued to get the horse. As she approached, the horse shied, but came right over when Sky said "Beauty."
"See, she trust me why can't you?" Sky asked scratching the horse's muzzle.
"Because she doesn't know you're a theif!" Lilli hissed.
"A theif!" Beauty yelled.
"Oh my gosh, you talk to! Can this day get any weirder?" Sky said and of course it could, because at that moment, all three of them heard a woman scream.
"Come on Beauty, please trust me for a moment!" Sky begged as she looked the horse in the eyes.
"Ok come on, but hang on tight!" Beauty said as Sky, and Lilli being dragged, vaulted on her back and Beauty took off at a flat run.
Ok here's Chapter two! If anyone is confused by the boy who likes Sky all ready, he comes back in right after she gets out of her "Hell" as she's gonna call it later on. So hope I made the characters stay intact again. Luv Ya! Bye! And BTW I'm a Christian, but I know Teens usually say "Oh my god, or Oh sweet Jesus." I should know I'm in 8th grade and Lilli is the name of my other friend and I don't own her either, or the chimney sweep boy, I just own the idea! Ok bye!
