Chapter Six

It had been three years since he had been invited to join the family and Dominic was carrying the groceries home along with trying to control a hyper Lianne. "Calm down! I'll drop everything!" He cried in desperation as she tugged on his sleeve. Suddenly he felt a carton of milk slip out of one of the bags, aiming for the floor. Dominic watched it go with horror in his eyes when suddenly the sharp corner of the carton was nearly pushed into his eye. "Thanks Lianne." He smiled whilst adjusting the heavy load to take it off her.

As they approached the house Lianne ran forwards and slipped the key into the lock. As soon as the door was open she ran into the kitchen and jumped on the counter, reaching for a bag of popcorn. Dominic staggered through the front door, closing it with his foot, only just managing to stay balanced upright. "Lianne give me a hand!" He shouted to her, just as she managed to open the bag, spilling popcorn everywhere. She knelt down trying to scoop it all up before there was an accident when suddenly a crash echoed from the hall. She darted out of the kitchen, only to collide with Dominic and what was left in the bags.

"I'm home." Abraham called opening the door. He stood stock still, in shock. "Dominic? Lianne?" He called returning to his senses. As Dominic scurried down the stairs he breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank heavens. I thought something had happened to you." Dominic tittered nervously as he glanced around the hallway.

"Sorry about this grandfather." He said while stooping to clean the abandoned groceries. "At least we cleaned the kitchen!" He smiled once having collected everything.

Abraham turned anxiously. "What happened to the kitchen?" He asked. Though he had come home to this sort of mess every other week he still couldn't get over it, more worried that someone had come and tried to take the children.

Dominic took everything into the now spotless kitchen while Abraham followed, carefully studying every detail of the small room. Dominic watched as Abraham checked the sink, the surfaces, the cooker, the oven and every cupboard before turning to him expectantly. "Well Lianne and I got back from the supermarket but I was carrying too much. So Lianne went ahead and opened the door. I brought everything in while she went to clear a space on the counter for the groceries but as she came out to tell me I had just reached the kitchen. Everything spilt everywhere as we fell, most of it went into the kitchen but as you can see, a lot went into the hall as well." He finished lamely.

Abraham sighed. "You youngsters." He smiled. "At least you tried to make everything tidy." He picked up his coat and called for Lianne, who appeared perfectly clean and as happy and hyper as ever. "Well if most of our food hit the floor we may as well go back to the store." He laughed. "And this time we're taking the car." The pair piled into the car laughing through their embarrassment.

Lianne had gone mad in the supermarket. She had been allowed into the confectionary isle, which, unfortunately for Dominic and Abraham, was having a huge sale. It was lucky Abraham had decided to take the car otherwise they would never have gotten all the groceries home in one piece. Dominic had offered to carry the last few bags into the house so while Abraham went to start dinner and Lianne went to have a bath; he took the bags in one by one.

As he went back outside to close the car up he suddenly felt a prick on the back of his neck. Someone was watching him. He closed the car slowly and listened for footsteps. None came. Quickly he whirled around expecting to see someone. Nobody. Not a shadow or a person anywhere. He turned round and gave a startled yelp. "SILVA!" He cried after coming face to face with Lianne's pet cat.

Sighing he picked the cat off the bonnet of the car and set it down. He watched it scamper into the house and smiled. "Silly cat." He murmured. He put the key in the car and turned it. Just as he was taking the key out his world went dark. The keys clattered to the floor as two figures dragged the teenager into a black car and shut the door. As the car sped away Lianne shivered in her warm bath.
