Malevolent or Virtuous?

Chapter XV

(Emily's bedroom 1)

(Wednesday) The next morning...... Sep, 18.

My eyes opened and the first thing my eyes landed on, was a light purple celling. I sat up in bed and I found myself in my bedroom?

Then I remembered about Drake and his family. I gasped and I quickly got out of my bed. I ran to the door and then I stopped myself when I was half way to the door, realizing I was back home. Just then my alarm clock goes off, I go over to my night stand and turn it off.

Was Drake just from my......dream? I had to ask myself. I look down and I'm wearing the purple dress that Drake picked from the closet back at the Genova's house. So he didn't come from my dream? Huh. Interesting. I look at the clock and it's six fifteen am.

"Oh wait, I'm supposed to be getting ready for school!" I almost yelled.

I headed to the bathroom and took my shower. I got dressed into my school uniform, got my backpack and homework. I made myself a lunch and I headed out the door, without bothering to make myself breakfast since it was already six fifty by the time I got out of the house.

On my way to school, I pass a police officer, and after walking a few feet away, the police turns around and catches up to me.

"Ma'am," The officer said trying to get my attention as he caught up to me.

"Yes?" I said back, wondering what he'd want from a fifteen year old, just saying.

"Is your name Emily Martin?" He asked.

"Uh, yes." I answered a little shocked he knew my name.

"My name is Officer Duke and you'll have to come with me." He said, looking down at a paper he had in his hands. "Wait, why?" I asked, did I do anything to break a the law? I'm sure I did nothing to go against the law.

"You've been reported missing." The officer answered.

"I have, when, and by who?" I was throwing questions right at him, like a weapon.
"Yes, you have, a girl named Cleo Rochshiliar, reported you on Thursday the twelfth, she told me that she didn't receive a text from you, and neither did you answer her calls, she's worried about you." He explained. "Plus you have to come with me, and answer some questions where you've been the last few days, if you were kidnapped and give us a image of who your kidnapper looks like so it'll be easier for us to track him down."

"Okay first of all, I wasn't kidnapped." I lied. I can't believe I'm lying to an officer. "And I was just out of town to visit my aunt." I lied the second time. Wow I feel horrible right now, I just lied two times. "Oh, I see." Officer Duke said. "But I still need you to come with me." He said. Wait what!? Do I seriously have to go with this guy still? Great, now it feels like I just got in trouble just for walking to school. The officer leads me back to his car and I get in.

I don't say anything, and I just keep quiet, with my hands folded in my lap. We arrived at the police station, and I got out of the officer's car. I sighed before going in, and followed him inside the building. We walk in, and I see Cleo jumping from her seat, towards us.

"Emily!" She happily says, hugging me tightly, and I hug her back. "Are you okay?" She asked me.

"Uh, yes I am." I answered.

"I thought I'd never see you again." She explained. "Don't disappear like that ever again." She finally let me go, and I was able to breathe easier.

She looked down at her wrist watch. "School!" She yelled out. "We're going to be late." She turned to Officer Duke. "Sir, we have school and if we don't make it, Mrs. Kya, our principal, is going to be mad." Cleo said.
