Cats and oranges!

Chapter 1

Liz, Liz!"

I opened my eyes groggily.

"Eh Tony what is it?" I groaned.

"I had another nightmare" sniffed my little brother. I silently lifted my covers up and he jumped gratefully into bed next to me

"Was it about vampires again?" I asked

"Yeah", he said nodding his blond head.

"Hmm." Ever since we've moved to Scotland Tony had been having nightmares about vampires, a bit weird really... Tony interrupted my brooding,

"Liz... Are you happy we moved to Scotland?"

"Sometimes, what about you" I can't say I had been that frilled when we'd first moved to Scotland, It was colder than America and everybody talked funny, but the countryside was nice and the house ( Or more like castle) we were living in was amazing, It was just both me and Tony missed are friends

Tony was silent for few minutes then sighed

"I'd like it more if it wasn't overrun with the un- dead"

I snorted

"We'll be the un-dead if we over sleep in the morning" I sighed, "Go to sleep we've got school in the morning."

"I'd rather be the un-dead" Tony grumbled then he turned over, a few minutes later I heard him snore quietly, A smiled slightly then pulled the cover's tighter around me and went back into a dreamless sleep.

The next morning I woke up to find Tony fast asleep drooling slightly on my pillow, 'Typical' I thought smiling as I looked over at the alarm clock on my desk 6.30 I groaned and got up, stumbling over to my wardrobe and grabbing a pair of light blue faded jeans and a plain purple t shirt. And then walked quietly into the bathroom for a shower. After I'd dried my long red hair and brushed my teeth I put my hair up into a messy bun, then got dressed and walked back into my room to find Tony still fast asleep the only thing that had changed was that he had somehow rapped the covers round him like a cocoon and was starched over the bed I laughed and took out a light purple chequered shirt and put it on over my t shirt and buttoned it half way up, Then I looked at the clock it was 7.20 'best get Tony up' I thought, walking over to the bed.

"Come on, I said loudly, "Get up!" then I proceeded to mercilessly open the curtains, Tony hissed slightly as the light hit his half-awake eyes.

"Come on you little vampire time to get up." Tony frowned and pulled the covers up over his head.

"Vampire's don't go out in the day light" Came his muffled voice from under the covers, I laughed

"Ah but even vampire's need to go to school" I pulled the covers away from over his head, Tony huffed and started to get out of my bed. Mum come into my room and smiled when she saw Tony.

"I wondered where you were," she said ruffling his already massy hair as he walked past, "another bad dream?" she asked turning to me seeing my nod she frowned slightly "The teachers at his school where telling me that he's talking in class saying that Scotland's overrun with vampires."

I shrugged

"Maybe he's just going through a phase he'll get out of it." I said smiling reassuringly.

"Hmm" Mum said still not looking convinced

"Mum, what we having for breakfast," I heard Tony shout from next door, Mum laughed and walked out of my room, walking over to my bedside table I unplugged my phone from its charger then clicked the off button on the wall, while rummaging around in my sock draw until I found a pair of black socks, after I'd put them on and put my phone into my black shoulder bag, and made my way down stairs, when I walked into the kitchen, Tony was already there he was digging into a big plate of pancakes,

"Do you want some pancakes hun" Mum asked

"No thanks Mum, I fancy toast" I said smiling and getting the bread out of the bread bin "Where's Dad?" I asked putting the bread in the toaster.

"He had to go to work early" Mum said sitting down next to Tony with a cup of coffee.

"Oh" I said getting my toast out of the toaster before it started burning and buttering it in chocolate spread.

"Dads always at work" Sighed Tony

""No he's not," Protested Mum, "He's just working hard to finish the golf course for Lord McAshton"

By this time I was sat down eating my toast, Mum looked at me as if she wanted me to say something, so I nodded my head in agreement one because to be honest I did kinda agree with Tony, I understand that the job brings more money in, but even so, Dad was spending a lot of time at that golf course. And second was the fact that my mouth was full of toast. Mum looked at the clock and jumped up surprised.

"Oh, I didn't see the time, come on you too, or where going to be late, I shoved my last piece of toast into my mouth and got up quickly, picking up my bag on the way to the door.

Tony got up more slowly. Mum already had Tony's bag so she rushed to the car, me and Tony following more slowly behind.

'Well wasn't that just a fabulous day' I thought sarcastically as I got into my mum's car, I mean usually if someone was going out of their way to annoy me I'd either tell them where to go or punch them in the face, but to my annoyance, the one person who had to try and make my life hell was the son of my dad's boss. I looked over at my mum, who was looking dejectedly out the window I frowned

"What's up?" I asked

"Tony got into a fight."

Surprised, I looked at my brother.

"Since when did you get into fights?" I asked, "I thought that was my job?"

Tony smiled slightly

"It's not a joking matter!" Mum snapped "As if fighting's not bad enough, but it had to be with your Dads bosses grandchildren!"

"Huh," I mumbled 'Obviously being spoilt brats must run in their bloodline' I thought moodily

"They started it!", Tony exclaimed seeing Mum was about to go into the, but you didn't have to fight back lecher mode he quickly continued (not that Tony needed to hear it, I'd never actually really hurt anybody, but I had been known to get into fights at school mainly because someone had been mean to one of my friends or about Tony) "I didn't fight, they pushed me over and throw my books all over the floor"

'What! Definitely spoilt brats, dead spoilt brats if I ever got hold of them,'

Mum obviously seeing the furious expression on my face quickly changed the subject.

"Your Dad and I are going out tonight, so I've organised a baby sitter." Me and Tony groaned.

"Oh Mum why can't I baby sit?" I asked

"Yeah, that would be well cool and you wouldn't have to pay" exclaimed Tony

"Well I don't know about that." I said grinning.

"No, I just don't feel comfortable leaving you two on your own."

"What! Oh come on mum, I'd be careful and make sure Tony was in bed on time."

Mum scoffed

"I know you'd behave sweet heart but me and your Dad have talked about this and we'd both feel much more comfortable if there was a baby sitter there. And Liz there's more chance of cows flying then you putting Tony to bed on time." We'd pulled into our drive way at this point.

I scowled and turned to Tony shrugging.

"Sorry little bro I tried."

Tony huffed sadly

"Oh well maybe next time" he said.

"Not likely," I scoffed getting out of the car.
