Finding Kiera

Chapter Eleven

That morning I wake up in a pool of sweat. Why does this keep happening? All of the nightmares.

Instead of last times nightmare, I actually saw the face. It was Alister. I still haven't told James anything yet.

Last night I forgot to set my alarm, but thankfully I woke up at 7:00.

I went to the kitchen and cooked breakfast for James and I. There wasn't much in the Hotel Kitchen, so I ended up going to the store to buy Pancake Mix.

Right as the Pancakes are done cooking and you can smell them, James comes rushing to the kitchen. Since it is a school day I put the pancakes in a bag and put the syrup in the car. When I go back inside James is already dressed.

" Hey James, give me 20 minutes to get ready."

" 20 MINUTES? What all do you need to put on clothes?"

" Remember that I do have to brush y hair. Its much longer than yours. MUCH longer. "

" Fine . Just hurry up."

With that I run to the rooms across the hall and put on some jeans and a t-shirt. Then I put my hair into a high ponytail and grab our backpacks. I come out of the rooms and James is nowhere to be seen. No. This cant happen. I need James. I need to make sure he's safe. Just then I hear a honk outside. I open the door and see that James is in the drivers seat of the car, with my keys.

" James? What are you doing?"

" Driving."

" No your not. Give me my keys"

" Come on, I've got my license. "

" Well in that case- No."

He tosses me the keys and then scoots over into the passenger seat .

By the time we get to school its 7:30. Im finally on time !

School was insane that day . There was a pep rally, which I obviously wasn't very pepped up about. But , I think today was the best day so far this week. Maybe things are starting to look up.

When we exit the pep rally, they dismiss To go home earlier. Maybe the principal had a little too many pixie sticks.

As I walk to where James should be , I see that he's not in his classroom. I go inside worried and in a fast motion.

" Hi! I'm James's' sister . Was he in your classroom today ? "

" Shortly. He got signed out by an adult. Someone on his pickup list."

"What was the name of the adult?"

She grabs the paper and puts on her reading glasses.

"It says right here somewhere just let me find it- oh there it is ."

"What was the name ? "

" Alister . "
