I was watching TV when Aunt Tabitha came home, I glanced at the clock it read 9:49.
" Did you get whatever you needed Auntie?" I called when she walked into the door.
"Errrr... yes morggie!" She yelled back from the kitchen, I didn't really care for the pet name but if it made her happy whatever.
I strolled into the kitchen to tell her good night she still had that worried expression on her face but I didn't say anything I kissed her goodnight and walked up the stairs and into my bedroom. After I changed into my PJ's I was walking to the bathroom across from my bedroom when I heard my Aunt talking to someone on the phone. As slowly and quilt as I possible could I crept down the stairs and listened...
"I don't care if it was intentional or not, can't you do anything about this?" my Aunt hissed, she waited while the person on the other line spoke.
" I don't want Morggie to get mixed up with this nonsense! If she's separated from him-" the other person interrupted her.
"Listen Billy ... give it a couple days and then we'll see... how do you even know she feels the same way?..." They had clearly agreed on something I just didn't understand what I had to do with it I just got here for crying out loud.
"Fine but-... okay I'll talk to you later" as soon as I heard the phone click on the reciever I ran up stairs quickly, ran into my room and jumped in to my bed. Hopefully she hadn't heard me. Thankfully a few minute's later I heard her bedroom door click as she went into her bedroom.
The sun was gone all there was to Gide me was the dim light from the stars. I was in the forest and the tree's were leaning towards me and grabbing at my feet, trying to hold me back but I was determined to keep going I was looking for something or someone. I didn't know what it was though I just knew I had to find it before I was to late. I also realized I was being followed by a pale man he was devastatingly beautiful he was trying to keep me back but when I looked at him something in my stomach told me to run. So I did towards the end of the path but he was fast he hit me and knocked me to the ground I screamed but no words came out he grabbed my throat, I couldn't breath I felt like I was drowning. Then I big furry blob knocked him down the blob stopped for a second looked at me and I felt like I knew what it was or who when I finally relized that the blob was the wolf I wanted to run like I wanted to run from the pale man but I didn't have the feeling in my stomach to run... he tore the pale man to piece's and through him into a bright light. Then the wolf looked at me one more time and ran away... But I had an urge to follow him... he was what I was looking for.
I woke up with the dream still lingering in my mind they scared me but I decided I would think about something else so I got dressed and walked down stairs in to the kitchen where the smell of french toast was.
"Yum that smells really good!" I chimed
" Thanks! I thought you would like it, Did you sleep well last night?" Aunt Tabitha replied most of the worry was erased from her face but there was still a trace of it in her eye's.
"Errrr... yea okay I guess apart from the nightmare it was okay" I answered. Whatever I had said put the worry lines right back on Aunt Tabitha's face.
"What about?"
"Well nothing much... it was just a nightmare" I said reassuringly, as I slide into one of the chairs at the table.
"Oh" she whispered in a tight voice.
"After breakfast can I go down to the beach?"
Aunt Tabitha thought about it for a second I bet she thought I just wanted to see that Seth boy that's why I wasn't surprised when she said no.
"Well I thought maybe you and me could do something today?" She asked.
"Sure what is there to do around here?"
"Not alot actually... errrr... we could bake?" ,she said clearly pleased with the idea, " We'll need to pick up a few supplies though."she aid while fumbiling around searching for her car keys.
"You know I could just walk to the store and get whatever we need?" I asked trying to help.
She considered it for a moment then gave in to whatever she was debating about and gave me some money,a list, and directions.
"Come straight home after!" she yelled for the millionth time.
"Yup" I called.
I just wanted to get out of the house for a while it was a bit off a walk so I had some time to myself but it didn't seem very long because before I knew it I was at the corner store walking through the front door. I heard the little bell ring as I walked in I smiled at the clerk but he just kind of looked at me with question in his eye's, I guess all the kids were big around here because this kid looked even bigger than Seth. Was there something in the water here? A growth hormone I hope not I liked how tall I was. After collecting all the stuff I needed I walked up to the till and payed.
"So your Morgan right?" He asked a faint smile on his face like he was in on a joke or something.
"Err.. yea- how did you know-" But he cut me off before I could finish.
" Everyone know sits a small town everyone knows everyone Else's business"
"Oh what's your name then?" If he knew mine I thought I should at least know his.
"Quill" He said slyly with a tint of flirtyness in his voice.
"Well I have to go" I said as I grabbed my bags.
As I was walking out of the store with mt four bags of groceries I couldn't help but over hear the argument going on around the side, I could just see the two figure's and I realized the one immediately it was Seth.
"C'mon Jake what am I supposed to do?" He whined.
"Just stay away from her for a while okay?" The boy answered in a husky voice.
"How can I? It's like a pull towards her... it's taking all my will power I cant last much longer-" he stopped. Seth looked at me but I started walking fast eye's forward.
"Fine", Jake said in a hushed whisper," But it's your butt on the line..."
"Thanks Jake" Seth said in a voice just addable for me to hear.
I started walking faster embarrassed that they had seen me ease-dropping, I stared at my feet hoping that Seth wouldn't say anything but sure enough he was right behind me.
"Morgan" He called.
"Hi Seth. I-I'm sorry about the ease-dropping thing I-" I stammered
"Don't worry about it no biggie" He assured me with a smile. Though I wish he hadn't smiled because it made me melt
"want some help with those bags?" he asked but grabbed for them anyway.
"Sure" but he had already taken them.
We were at the corner before my Aunt's house, just out of view for her.
"Errr... I can take it from here" I said with a smile but worry on my eye's " my Aunt she's just kinda' weird that way..."
"Yea, no problem" he handed me the bags " Maybe do you wanna hang out some time or something?"
"Sure!" I said a little to quickly but a smile burst on to his face.
" How 'bout I meet you at the far end of the beach tomorrow at noon?" he asked though the look on his face made him look as though he thought I would say no.
"Sounds great! And thanks for helping me carry these bags home" I said lifting one up.
"Yup, my pleasure!" He yelled as he started walking the other direction " See ya tomorrow!"
I walked into the house a smile on my face but I quickly hid it when I saw my Aunt. She Smiled at me when I walked in, I get to see Seth tomorrow I thought.
