Before I get on with the very short chapter, replies to my reviews!
Kate: This chapter more or less answers your questions(I hope!) but I think that she will act like most older sisters with little twists in turns here and there. Haven't qutie thought about it though thoroughly! But thanks to you, I will! Thank you so much for reviewing frequently!
YingYang13: I completely understand when I forget to put in words of my sentences aren't that complex. This isn't much of an excuse, but in regards to the more interesting and captivating writing, I am only twelve years old and haven't had much practice with writing interesting types of sentences. But with the forgetting to put in words-I type really fast and I usually watch T.V. while writing so my brain forgets to write words. And most times I want to post the chapter so quickly that I forget to read it over. I don't have a Beta which also contributes to the lack of proper grammar, but I like to think that my reviewers are the ones who point out the mistakes and critique my work. So please review, it helps so much!
I would reply to my other reviewers, but most of you are guests and you just write 'guest' and it might be confusing. But I lvoe reading your reviews, they light up my day!
Beep Beep Beep
I wake up to the sound of some sort of a machine beeping at a steady pace. My eyelids are sealed tight and my whole body is sore. I feel utterly drowsy and in so much pain. The only thing I want to do right now is sleep. I don't care where I am or why I'm here, my mind is focused on sleeping.
Beep Beep Beep
Eventually the annoying synchronized beeping begins to agitate me and I give up on trying to sleep. Now my only goal is to turn off the source of the beeping. I let out a disturbed groan as I peel open my eyes. Blinding white light glares at my eyes and I try to raise my left arm to shield my eyes, but when I do a piercing hot pain streaks through me and I recognize that I can barely move my arm. I let out a short, shrill squawk and I can sense something near me jolt awake. I can easily tell by their sudden movement, obviously from shock, and their quiet gasp.
I use my other arm to raise the thin blanket covering my torso to shield my eyes. I duck my head underneath and a huge headache scorches through my skull. I clench my teeth together, in hopes it will numb the pain.
I hear the sound of chair legs screeching as if someone stood up from it moments ago. The pitter-patter of feet rushing towards me sends a chill up my spine as a similar memory courses through my brain.
The last thing I remember is someone shouting my name and wind gusting all around me. I don't remember it being so windy today. Or did that happen yesterday? Or does that happen tomorrow and this was all a dream? Nah, that just silly, I have to start thinking more mature thoughts now. Since I am maturing and don't have time for such foolish ideas. Honestly, how did I allow such a thought to come to mind?
"Clove? Sweetie?" I hear a soft voice speak anxiously. The voice places a hand on top of my blanket, and ever so gently tugs it away.
I don't dare look up; afraid of whom I will see. I grudgingly tilt my head up ever so slightly and I see the figure of a beautiful girl standing there. A bright light shields her face and illuminates her body. She looks so beautiful.
"Are you an Angel?" I squeak. The girl begins to laugh and lowers her body, shielding the bright lights. Then I recognize who the "Angel" is. Chloe.
"Chloe" I whimper meekly. A smile grows stretches over her face and I strangely flash one back as well. She sits down beside me as a nurse walks into the room.
"Where are we?" I peep out. I watch as the nurse presses some buttons and fluid starts to flow through various tubes. Just then I realize that those tubes end up in my arms. I tug on one, but Chloe reaches out and places my hand back in my lap.
"We're in the hospital, Clove. Y-you had a terrible accident" She begins to shake her head as she places it in her hands "I'm so sorry"
"What happened? What's wrong with me?" I say trying to process all the information
"You fell off the balcony. Luckily the shrubs decelerated the fall, but you still have some injuries. You broke your left arm and you have a huge concussion. There's a gash in your head and you broke your leg in three places"
"Oh, when are Mommy and Papa coming? Are they?" I ask as I lift up my blanket to inspect my leg
"I phoned both of them just a few minutes ago" She cries into her hands. We sit in silence for a few minutes when something pops into my mind
"Why were you in the house?" I ask. She visibly freezes, then relaxes as she explains it to me
"Mother asked me to babysit you, that went really well" She scoffs
"Why did she need you to babysit me? Where did she go?"
Chloe lets out a creepy chuckle as she shakes her head with a smile on her face "She got a booty call from Marc, one of Papa's employees. They've been sneaking around for a while now, I'm surprised you haven't even noticed" She finishes with a snort.
She lowers her head and behind her I see a fuming Papa. His nostrils are flaring and his face is tomato red. The veins on his neck pop as he yells "Your Mother did what?"
I sit there in shock and watch as Chloe's eyes widen as she stiffens. Rigidly she turns around, beads of sweat already trailing down her forehead. Father's eyes flick over to her, but they don't last long as a women pushes past him.
Mother. And trailing close behind her is the last person we all want to see, Marc.
Hehe! This wasn't very long, I'm sorry! But this is leading up to a very dramatic chapter! OBVIOUSLY! Please tell me your thoughts on this chapter, I love to hear feedback!
