Yet another chapter up!
"You'll be fine on your own for a few days right"? My mom asked anxiously for the a thousandth time.
"I'll be fine mom. I've got my writing don't I?" I sighed.
"Ok" She patted my shoulder "You know the rules. Don't-"
"Leave the house after dark, burn down the house, or talk to strangers. I know mom" I knew the rules by heart. She reminded me every time she went out. This was the first time she was going out of town though and leaving me here. Her sister had just had a baby and she was going to visit them. I convinsed her to let me stay because I din't want to get behind on school.
"Have a good time mom" I hugged her.
"You too dear." she embrased me a few seconds more and then tugged her suit case out the door.
I had writers block which is not a pleasant feeling for some one like me. I tapped my pen angrily against the paper waiting for some insparation but none was coming.
I heard the door downstairs open. Must of been blown open by the wind again I thought. I hurried down the stairs. Sure enough the door was wide open. I closed the door and locked it this time hoping hat would keep it closed. An unlikly story with these winds but I could only hope.
Only when I turned around did I realize that it wasn't the wind that had opened he door. I found my self staring at a muscular figure wearing a black jacket with a tight white shirt under it that showed off his hard muscels. If that wasn't enough to freak me out the long silver knife in his hand was. He wore a terrifing smirk that made Capain Hook like a school boy.
I opened my mouth to scream but in one swift movement he pinned me to the wall with one hand and covered my mouth with the other. "Not a sound" he hissed menacingly in my ear.
I was frozen with fear as he took his hand away from my mouth and rasied the cold knife to my throat.
I swallowed against the sharp blade and he smirked. "It's been a very long time Callypso"
"Wh- who are you?" I finally managed to choke out. "H-how do you know my name?"
He chuckled softly "Ah yes. You probably don't remember. Last time we met you were three." He traced my scar my scar softly with the tip of his knife. "How do you really think you got that scar, princess?"
What was he saying? My eyes widened in sudden comprehension and he laughed again "Yes I know all about you and your gift sweet heart. I've known for a very long time. So has Capricorn and he is most anxious to meet you."
He tossed me aside and I fell to the ground. I was shaking with fear. Who was Capricorn? How did they find out about my gift? I heard a scratching sound and looked up to see the man carving something in the wall.
B-A-S-T-A
Basta. What did that mean?
"Your mother isn't here so I'm sure my name will let her know well enough where you are." the man named Basta grinned and knelt down beside me. "Scared?" he ran the flat of his blade across my throat.
What kind of question is that? I wanted to say. But I couldn't will my tounge to move. Why couldn't I bee more brave like Kat? I longed for my friend to be here.
Basta smirked "Don't worry. Capricorn wants you alive and undamaged for now" He tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. "Too bad your mother isn't here. I would of liked to teach her what happens to people who defy Capricorn."
He picked me up and slung me over his shoulder. "Not a sound from you sweet heart. I doubt a few more scars on your face will affect your ability to write" Basta warned. As if I could talk right now anyway. I felt a few tears roll down my cheek as he carried me off into the woods.
I Love being Evil... ;) Review please!
