Irreplaceable {1}

Chapter 2

The next day, I woke to the sun shining in my eyes through the window. I winced while my eyes tried to adjust to the light coming in through my window. Why was my curtain open anyways?

"Rise and shine Dracula!" I heard a voice sing from my closet. I looked up to see my friend, Amara, looking through my clothes.

I groaned and rolled onto my stomach while pulling my blankets over my head. "It's too early to get up! Go away Amara!" I don't even know why Amara was here. She should be off doing whatever it is she does on summer holidays, not at my house.

I felt two cold, boney hands grab my ankles and yank. I landed on the floor in a tangle in my blankets groaning because my bed isn't exactly that close to the ground. That's twice in a couple hours I've fallen off my bed. "Wake up!" Amara demanded while tugging my warm blankets away from me, "We are going out because I have exciting news!"

I curled up into a little ball on my rug and closed my eyes; I just need a little more sleep and some more understanding to why Amara is in my house!

How did she even get here? Why is she here? Why couldn't she have waited like two more days to see me?

I felt something wet hit my arm and I opened my eyes to see that she had spat on me. I screeched and jumped off the floor before rubbing her spit back on her then running into my washroom to wash it off and disinfect my arm. I ended up running into my younger brother in the bathroom because we share it. It's like double door, one door in my room and one door in his.

"What's wrong?" He asked frantically looking at me to see if I was ok. He worries too much for a sixteen-year-old. Especially for his older sister, aka me. "Are you hurt? I heard you scream."

Amara laughed, like an evil laugh, it just wasn't normal. Rowan and I both stared at her in horror, "Nothing is wrong other than the fact that Marie won't get out of bed."

Rowan snorted, "If you hadn't noticed, she is standing right in front of me."

I just rolled my eyes as Amara walked past me and stood in front of him while trying to look intimidating, it wasn't really working. Even though Rowan is only sixteen, he is pretty tall. He's taller than Amara by at least three feet because she just never really grew. I'm about a foot and a half taller than her too. Anyways, she tried to look really intimidating towards Rowan, but it didn't work.

He crossed his arms over his chest and looked at her like he was bored. "The reason why she is screaming," Amara said through her teeth while pointing to me, "is because I pulled her off of her bed, then spat on her. So don't go all smart ass on me!"

He chuckled, "Whatever short-stack." Then he patted her head and left the room with a happy grin on his face.

She turned around to look at me with a frustrated expression. She was beyond mad now. I bet she isn't even happy about the news she had to tell me. My brother gets on her nerves way too easily and we all know it. I just don't understand how he's the only one who can really get on her nerves; no one else really can as much as he can. It's weird.

She stomped over to me and pulled on my ear till I was in front of my closet, "Now you get ready because we have somewhere to be in an hour."

I let out a huge sigh as she left my room; well, I guess I'm not going to be able to get any more sleep today. I still can't believe Amara showed up at my house though. I'm going to have to investigate that later.

*~*~*~*

Half an hour later, I was sitting in my kitchen eating breakfast and ready to go wherever Amara was going to drag me. I was wearing a simple outfit because I honestly didn't want to leave my house today, and I was prepared to come back home very soon just to crawl up and do some writing to clear my mind. The outfit was regular black leggings, an over-sized grey t-shirt with some city on it I've never been to, and my hair was pulled up into a ponytail.
