Cote De flipped backwards from one of the roof beams to the rope platform. She landed silently beside Jayce and took a seat on the edge, dangling her feet off the edge, it was another fifteen feet to the ground. "I'm so bored I'm going insane!" She told him.
"Um Honey I'd hate to break it to you, but you are already insane." R.J. pointed out from the floor below them.
"Thanks for the sarcastic remark." Cote De stated, standing up and walked off the back of the platform, her arm was in a cast for a few days while it healed. She couldn't hold on to a rope or ladder properly so her only option was to flip or jump, she didn't mind either. She landed on her feet, and walked out of the room.
"Show off." Jayce told her, summersaulting off the edge and landed into the olympic size pool a few feet from the exercise rope.
They were at Aunt Lily's forest home, staying until their house was rebuilt. She wished for something to do, but was limited with her arm. She walked into the kitchen where Daniel Miller was standing in front of the island, making what looked like the biggest sandwich in history. "You actually gonna eat all that?" She asked.
He smiled, as he licked the knife that had mayo on it. "Well kiddo if you are nice to me, I might actually share with you." He told her, in his easy-going grin of his.
"Oh well how thoughtful." She stated, eating a slice of tomatoe as Daniel started putting the sandwich together.
Daniel grinned. "That is coming out of your half." He told her, as he cut the sandwich in half. He took half and placed it on a plate, before handing it to her.
"Thanks." She told him, sitting at the island and started eating. "This is good. I think you have a talent in sandwich making." She commented.
"Well I guess then I'll have to start up my own sandwich shop up here in the boonies." Daniel said, laughing.
"Well with all your Dads' friends and their families up here, you'll have lots of business." Cote De told him. They finished their snack and Daniel headed off to the exercise room.
Cote De walked around the house, looking for her mom and Aunts. She found her mom, Aunt Lily and her Aunt Mari-Gold in the Library. They were talking about ideas for the new house.
"Hey Kid." Aunt Mari-Gold said as she seen Cote-De walk by.
"Yo." Cote De answered, as she walked into the room, she wasn't going to bother them, but her aunt called her in.
"Stop moping around." Aunt Mari told her, grinning.
"Gak! No comments from you." Cote De replied, walking around the multitude of books. She studied a few, she really wasn't interested in reading at the moment. She looked out the window for a moment.
Her mom pulled her out of her thoughts. "What do you want in your room?" Her mom asked, looking over at her.
She smiled slightly. "You know I'm not picky." She told her. "I think I'm going to take a walk." She told them, heading towards the door.
"Remember the alarms." Her Aunt Lily said as Cote De got to the door.
Cote De turned around and grinned. "I know Aunt Lil." She walked down the hall and out the back door. She headed to the trail on the left for the first twenty minutes it would be wiser to stay on the path then to try and outsmart all the alarms around the house. Though from the trail she seen about fourteen that you couldn't see unless you knew the people who put them there. After she deemed it safe -well safer- she walked off the trail towards the waterfall Daniel showed her and her brothers the last time they were here. It took her thirty minutes flat to get there after straying from the trail. She grinned at herself -not bad for being nine at the time. She sat at the top of the falls watching the churning water sail over the edge, the sound was deafening it you allowed yourself to be consumed by it. She laid back and looked up at the sky for awhile. It was a brillant blue with a few clouds. Her brother Jayce would call it a simpson sky -referring to the opening credits.
She must have fallen asleep, she woke to her fathers' screaming thoughts of WHERE ARE YOU,
She told him she was fine and was at the falls, and be home before dark. She looked back up at the sky and seen that the sun was nearly down behind the trees. "Yikes" She said outloud as she went to stand up, it was later then she thought. All her thoughts slammed out of her head as she stood up and was slammed in the gut with a baseball bat. She cursed in her head, concentrating on not sending it to her family. She laid flat on her back, wheezing for breath as three men stood over her, only one carried a bat.
The smallest of the three was a tall lanky man who by her impressions must have been the brains and not the brawn. He knelt down with a needle in his hand. She tried to move away but the man with the bat stepped on her midsection and pain went through her. She grasped at the rocks for something to hit them with, her hands came up empty. She turned inside her brain instead concentrating on all the alarms closest to her. They might have her, but they won't get anywhere near her family.
The three men all jumped in surprise as all the alarms started going off, the brawn with out the bat stared down at her as she grinned. He knelt down and held her in a choke hold. Breathing became a priority. The man looked at the brains. "Get this done now!" He commanded him.
The brains injected the clear liquid into her and she felt her brain going fuzzy. 'DAD I MESSED UP' Was the last thought that she coherently sent, she heard her fathers questions and worry but she was to far unconscience to reply.
