Emptiness

Chapter 17: Looking Up

Skylar POV

I'm going to die holding so many bags.

"Hurry up or I'll make you run the stairs up and down ten times." The monster spoke. Yes, your right I'm talking about the one and only Alexander Stevenson.

I had to carry his and the rest of his friends bags to the school lockers. Its after school when I got a message saying...

'Come to my science class now!'

With no choice I had to follow the master's rule as a good servant.

We reached at our school lockers and I dumped the bags on the side and went to get change for football.

I went to the playground and saw everyone in a line waiting for me to arrive so all of them could practise shooting.

"Let's make a deal Richard." Jacob said while putting all his weight on my shoulder. I pushed his arm off my shoulder and looked at him.

"What deal?" I replied.

"I will help you defeat the mighty Alexander and the his princess Bella if you do me a favour?" He smirked.

"And what would you like me to do for you Jacob? Also how would defeat the mighty Alexander and his princess Bella?" I said in a formal way possible.

He gulped and spoke, "Ok, now I don't want you to freak out and slap me. I l-like CHICKENS!"

"What?" I was so confused.

"Listen" He whispered. "I have this plan..." When he told me his idea I wasn't sure it would actually work. But then I had to take a such if I need to get out from this servant job.

"So if you help me what favour do I give you." Jacob smirked and replied. "That something I would tell you when needed." Then he went off like nothing happened.

Flashbacks of the nightmare wouldn't stop coming in my head. It was getting worse each day.

I went downstairs and saw grandma reading a newspaper.

"Grandma I've got to tell you something." I walked up to her and sat on the couch.

"What's the matter love?" She questioned back.

"Since I had that crazy nightmare it isn't getting out of my head." I looked up at grandma and saw her panic.

"Don't worry it would soon disappear from your thoughts." She replied while she was still thinking. I could tell she was hiding something from me and I wanted to know what was the matter.

"Was my n-nightmare real, I mean did someone m-murder mum and dad?" I questioned while looking down at my lap. When I looked up she wasn't looking at me and spoke.

"It was a accident and I don't want to talk about them anymore Skylar, do you understand?" I nodded in a reply when Lauren called as for dinner.

I rolled grandma's wheelchair to the dining table and sat next to her on a chair.

While eating I kept thinking about the nightmare when Lauren spoke. "Well tomorrow is Saturday which means tomorrow its Skylar's birthday." She smiled at me and continued talking, "I have organised an celebration party tomorrow for you angel."
