A/N: Ready for chapter two?
I reached home rather early and I looked around, my elder brother sat in front of the TV, eyes glued to the screen and the controller shook in his hands violently. "Hey Elina." He said, still playing. I threw my bag down and trailed up the stairs.
"Jonathan."
Knocking on the door to one of the people staying here the smell of unmentionable stenches attacked me and I staggered back. A short muscular guy opened the door. "Wha?" His voice slurred and choppy.
"The rent." I replied, clamping my nose shut. "And, you are breaking the agreement." He stepped around a bit.
"I paid-" He trailed off, then a garbled mess came out his mouth
I sucked my teeth. "Three weeks ago. This is a weekly basis and you owe us four-fifty." The stink was starting to get into my mouth. "If you dont pay it all in two days. All of your things will be out on the front lawn."
"Dumb broad." He said in proper english and then slammed his door shut.
Does he think I am bluffing?
I walked to the balcony by the stairs. "Mr. Radcliffe has two days to pay his rent." I called out, looking at the back of my brother's head. He nodded. I sighed and walked into my room. I flew onto the black recliner in the farthest corner of the retangular space. Slowly, but surely everything in the room started to turn to blocks.
I really am mad.
Balled up on the chair, I took a half nap, closed my eyes and relaxed. Thinking about my somewhat interesting day and pondered if I am going to sleep or not. I drifted off into dream land but then was pulled out when there was a knock on the window.
I blinked repeatedly and jumped up. My room and the outside world was dark. The window opened and Sapphire climbed in. She stumbled upon something on the floor I turned on the light and looked at her dark blue hair and then her face.
"You dyed it." I said blankly
Sapphire smiled wide. "Yeah! Do you like it?" I shrugged. Her grin deflated to a pout. "Anyways, your brother wouldn't open the door so I had to climb if you cared."
I shrugged again. "I kinda care." She laughed.
"Well, at least you are honest." Sapphire was the only person that didn't attack me for my pessimism. She looked at me. "Why was your room dark?"
All because shrugging is my favorite action, I did it once again. "I was tired. Still am." I replied, taking off my pants and and shirt and crawled into my bed full of art supplies and slipped under the covers. I could hear Sapphire's girly little giggle in the back of my head and a thin manicured set of fingers touch my forearm.
"If you want to come in the bed, you could just ask." I mumbled, pushing the supplies off and giving a place for Sapphire to lay down. She sat on the upper sheet and put her left hand on my forehead.
"You're hot." She said, slowly slipping her hand away.
I turned away from her. "I know I am attractive, you don't have to tell me." I smirked and she laughed.
"You know I dont mean that." I glanced over at her and she was looking at her phone. "Crabsticks!" Sapphire jumped up and began to go back to the window. "I gotta go. But, I will see you in school tomorrow with your meds taken right?"
I shrugged and balled up in the sheets. "Possibly." She chuckled and crawled out the window. "Well. Goodnight." I could hear her blow me a kiss and then jump out and the rustling of bushes.
I woke up. But, this time it wasn't in my room. It was blocks. Blocks everywhere. I blinked furiously, thinking that reality would come. But, it didn't. Trying to sit up, I felt a cold and metallic surface on my wrists. The clashing of metal ensured that I was in fact chained. I then looked at the details in the surroundings which was a blocky version of Victorian furniture. I looked at the clothing I had on which was a black dress that stopped at my knees and I was bare foot.
I pulled my arms forward, trying to escape but then I stopped, hearing footsteps get closer to the door and then it opened.
Everything went dark.
