The Futures Ashes

Chapter 5

Phoebe's POV  (wowwwww POV change, it'll happen a lot, have fun with that btw)

I sit crossed legged on a chair in the living room, crocheting a... something, I don't know what it is, with what I would like to call speed, but honestly, I'm as slow as a sloth.

"Whacha doin'?" I practically jumped, my heart racing. I look behind me and see my sister, Cerfe.

I place a hand over my racing heart and breath out. "Hi Cerfe. I'm just crocheting a... blanket? I don't know. What time is it?"

Cerfe checked her watch then looked back up at me. "13:24, March 6th." I jump up from my seat. "Luc- I mean.... I have to go." I walk over to the coat rack, grab a short coat and as I'm walking out the door remembered to talk to Cerfe. "Hey Cerfe, I'll be back in two hours max!"

"Be safe Phoebe! Remember your only fourteen!" I close the door, rolling my eyes, and walk quickly to a huge tree a few blocks away. It was huge, 40 feet tall and the bottom was at least 5 feet on each side. I grab onto the tree, and grip it, grabbing one branch at a time. I've always hated heights, and nothing has changed. 

I reach thirty feet up and saw the big treehouse. I walk in the door and immediately see Lucas and Theodore sitting on one chair each. They both looked at me and I feel my face heat up.

"Sorry. I forgot."

Theodore smiled. "It's okay!" (A/N Note to self: bubbly one)

Lucas scoffed. "Really? You're apologizing? It's fine Fee!" (A/N note to self #2: asshole detected)

A ringing sounded, a Queb-line. Phoebe looked from Lucas to Theo. 

"Oh. That's me." Theo said. He opened the line and answered the call. It was on speaker.

Theo, come home. Now.     His mom spoke, it sounded like she was crying. He looked up at Fee, confused. She put her hands up.

"Don't look at me. I haven't even talked to your mum in like, months." (No, I'm not British, but the characters are) Then I realized something. "Noooo!" I exclaim (Pshhhhh, teenagers by my chemical romance just turned on) "I have to climb back down that fucking tree!" We started our climb down the tree, it sucked. I was fine to do this like, once every month, but when I had just climbed up here one minute ago just to climb right back down, it was horrid.

"Fee, you good?" Theo asked her.

She muttered under her breath. "If I don't fall off this damn tree, then maybe." Lucas chuckled, she glared at him. "It wasn't a joke." We reach the bottom then start walking to Theo's house quickly. When we open the door, we see everyone in disarray, running around, doing something or other. Theodore's mother stopped next to them, crying. 

"Lily's gone. We refused to give up the Wintorian." It seemed that Lucas didn't understand, but theo and phoebe sure did. Kingsley. Kingsley took lily because of not giving the Wintorian. But they still couldn't give up one of the five Gems, no matter what. Lily, theos little sister, stolen. 

Theo, crying, walked back out of the house with phoebe and Lucas beside him. 

"What does that mean?" Lucas asked.

"Me and Fee will explain that later. But first, we have to find a way to get my sister back."

Bam! There you go. Sorta a cliff hanger.

Also, it's been snowing where I live. We just got off winter break a few days ago, but school has been cancelled for two days. I have to go to school again, but... school. I fucking hate school. Anyways. Hope you enjoyed!
