Sublime /// Liam Dunbar

It's Just a Prank Bro

"Dad, I'm home." I said as I closed the front door, There was no response. "Hello? Is anyone home?" I tried again, still no response.
I walked into the kitchen and looked at the clock above the stove, it read 12:56.
"That's why no one is responding." I whispered to myself.

I opened the fridge and grabbed some orange juice and started walking towards the living room when I heard heavy footsteps on the floor above me.
I put down my orange juice and slowly made my way to the stairs.
When I was halfway up the stairs when I heard something heavy hit the ground with thud. I keep myself from shouting up the stairs, as I reach the top step I see large shadow cast across the hall coming from my room.

"Dad?Is that you?" I asked in a shaky voice. I heard a sort of low growl and bones clanking sending a shiver down my spine.
I slowly turned into my room and my jaw dropped when I saw my dad in a bloody motionless heap next to my bed.
Liam was standing parallel to me with a look of terror on his face.

"liam what's happening?" i asked trying to hold back tears, before he could answer a bony knife went through his chest. I screamed as a red spot blossomed from his chest.
I looked up and saw a berserker holding the knife lodged in liam's chest.

I shot up in my bed drenched in a cold sweat. I pulled my knees to my chest and started sobbing.
"It was just a dream, just a dream." I chanted to myself holding my head between my knees.

Once I had calmed down I went downstairs to get a glass of water. When I passed the living room I saw a glass of orange juice on the table and I started panicking.
I quickly looked around for the home phone, when I found it I quickly dialled liam's cell number.

It rang twice before going to voicemail so I called the house phone.
"Hello?" I heard Mr.dunbar say in a groggy voice.
"Hi Mr.Dunbar I was just calling to ask if liam was home." I said innocently.
"Yes I heard him come home about an hour ago." he answered.
"great, can you just peek inside his room just to double check?" there was a short silence so I assumed he was going to liam's room.

"He's asleep in bed amara do you want me to wake him?" he asked sounding slightly annoyed.
"uh no it's okay." i said quickly.
"is everything alright amara?" mr. Dunbar asked suspiciously.
"yup everything's all good over here, but if we could keep this little convo just between us that would be wonderful." I gestured with my hands even though he couldn't see me. "I just don't want liam to worry about me, you know how he gets." I said with a laugh.
"alright goodnight amara." he said hesitantly.
"g'night Dr.D." I said and quickly hung up.

I walked over to the couch and sat down with a huff. I turned on the T.V. and started flipping through channels before stopping on some random documentary.
I stared at the TV trying to keep myself from falling asleep again.
This is going to be a long night.

"So you lost your phone?" liam asked as we into the forest surrounding beacon hills.
"Yup." I responded, popping my P.
"In the woods?" he asked.
"Yup." I repeated.
"But you don't know where you dropped it?" he concluded.
"Yes and I brought you because I didn't want to be lonely." I said putting a Slight skip in my step.
Liam stayed silent for a minute before talking again.

"Why did you call me last night?" he asked keeping his eyes on the ground.
"Huh, I must have butt dialled you." I said awkwardly.
"We're looking for your cell phone right now, and the number was your home phone." he replied.
"My cat have stepped on it and dialled your number." I lied terribly.
"Ames, you don't have a cat." he said looking at me skeptically.
"What? Well it's a mystery then." I said with fake confusion. "Look there's a clearing up ahead, I dropped my phone in a clearing, let's go check it out." I said quickly and walked ahead of liam.
