Lightning Skies

Chapter 19

"Daniel!!!!!!!!!!!" I screamed. He came rushing in, dressed in a t-shirt and boxers with a toothbrush in his mouth.

"What's wrong??" he cried, his voice muffled by the toothbrush. I pointed a shaky finger at the pajamas, and Daniel walked over to thrm curiously. I heard him mutter under his breath "I thought I washed these..." He quickly grabbed the pajamas and left the room. He soon returned with a new, purple nightgown.

"I promise, there's nothing on this one" he grinned. I nodded uneasily, checking the nightgown for any stains. He laughed and left again. I quickly changed into the nightgown and slipped into the bed.

"Good night Daniel!" I called and heard a faint "G'night" in return. And, still thinking about the blood stained pajamas, I slipped into an uneasy sleep.

                                                                                           *******

I woke up around 1 o'clock in the morning when I heard my door creak open. I quickly sat up in bedas I saw a shadowy figure slowly move toward my bed.

"Daniel?" I croaked. I saw the figure stop and turn to walk away. But before he left I saw the moonlight glint against what the person was holding. It was a knife.

                                                                                          *******

When I woke up, I didn't know where I was, but once I remembered, I set out to look for Daniel. First I looked in his bedroom, then a bathroom, then a living room, and finally I found a note in a large dining room. It read:

Dear Juliette,

I have gone to the store to buy materials for breakfast. I'll be back at 9:30

Sincerely,

Daniel

I spotted a clock on the wall and saw that it read 9:30. And at that exact moment, I heard a door slam and Daniel call "I'm home!!" He came into the dining room and set the grocery bag on the table.

"Here's what I got for breakfast" he said "I got bacon, pancakes, eggs, toast, sausage, waffles, french toast, hash browns, and cereal."

"Did you invite the army to come over?" I joked. Daniel rolled his eyes.

"I didn't know what you liked!" he said innocently. I laughed and grabbed some bacon and french toast. Daniel took some sausage and waffles and the rest of the food disappeared.

"What...?" I said, confused.

"It's in the fridge" he explained simply. We ate our breakfast in silence until I thought of last night.

"Daniel?" I said "Someone came into my room last night. Did you hear anyone?"

"It's nothing to worry about" he muttered, poking at a waffle.

"Yes it is Daniel!" I cried "They had a knife! They could have killed me! I want to go home!!" Daniel sighed and pulled out his coin. He spun it in a circle and the last thing I saw was a knife peeking out of Daniel's pocket.
