Drawn into Darkness

Once upon a time...

Its early in the morning and I here my parents alarm clock two doors down, how loud do they make that stupid thing?  Every once in a while my parents tend to wake up early in the morning. This is caused by the fact that they either had to go to some fancy book parade party or some auction. I always referred to them as world wide collectors who ventured for the historic manifests of earlier life, which means historic artefacts. I got out of bed and heard voices coming from my parents bedroom as I walked past. They were either arguing about something or plotting. Judging by the dead silence when I was walking past...definitely plotting.

Made breakfast for the whole family, which consisted of my parents and I, and went to shower and get ready for a whole day of laziness. The door to my parents room could be heard opening from upstairs. That would be the part where they actually came to me let me know about their master plan or just sit around like they had absolutely nothing up their sleeve, then I would ask them what was going on and they would just pour out everything planned.
A few moments later they slipped down the steps as if auditioning for a part in a James Bond movie. I ignored them, not really interested in their shenanigans, even though I was silently laughing on the inside...parents are weird sometimes. My dad shuffled next to my side of the couch like MC Hammer, while my mom strutted with no care in the world, as if she could out strut the queen of strutting whoever she was. I kept my facial expressions as neutral as possible. They both sandwiched me in the middle and took over the TV remote. Seriously, you want me to ask!

Instead, I decided to play their own game, but at my rules. I just sat there, and did not ask anything. we watched a programme about abortion, so I stood up and went to wear shoes in my room. I put on my converse. When I got downstairs my parents were laughing, with someone. I moved as fast as my legs could take me. In the very room we were all sitting in just a few minutes ago, sat Louis the next door neighbour. What the hell is he doing here?
