The Devils Blood

Chapter 2

"Lucy honey feel yourself at home okay? And cal don't misbehave and if you guys need anything I'm here okay?", Calebs mom had told us as soon as we had entered the house but now I wonder if she would provide me something to harm her own son, of course she wouldn't " So caleb, could you put your shirt on and let go of my hand?". So the situation was something like this after stepping outside my house, Calebs umbrella flew away thanks to the wind and his raincoat dint protect his Tshirt and lower part of his pants, as for me, I was wearing shorts so my legs were wet and my hands were wet till my elbows. Still, since it was cold I borrowed his hoodie but this guy here has me pinned to the wall not to mention shirtless and has been nagging me about what happened back home. I sighed and said,"listen crappy boy, it was nothing I just freaked out seeing your crappy face's reflection okay?" was the best thing I could come up with, and of course he did not believe me, he looked at me with an annoyed face and said," Lu, stop with those lame reasons, you know your terrible at lying so why do you even try? I know you saw something, something really scary to make you scream and cry". Truth be told, I just dint want to think about it and who would believe me if I said I got scared seeing a little girls eyes? Since he was being so persistent I thought I'd tell him but he wouldn't believe me anyways would he? " I saw a little girl and got scared" I glanced at him and he was actually giving me a serious look as if he was believing my delusional story, "you got scared seeing a little girl? You want me to believe that?" ofcourse he wouldn't believe me but right now for some reason I wanted to tell him everything even if he dint believe every word I say, even if he thought I was being delusional it dint matter at the moment "dream land to earth! Hello Lucy?" I nodded my head and looked at him while trying to free myself "okay fine I'll tell you all about it but before that can you please let me go and also wear a shirt?", he looked at me intensely trying to figure out if I'm lying or not. He released his hand from mine and grabbed his shirt from the stand, meanwhile I sat on the bean bag that was near to the balcony door which kept on rattling due to the strong winds outside. He took out a huge lollipop from his bag and threw it to me while lying down on his bed. I caught the lollipop and looked back at him puzzled, "dint you hate sweet things yet you had a lollipop in your bag?". He turned around and faced me and asked me about what I had seen, I tried covering my face with the lollipop with was actually bigger than my face and started telling him, "I saw a little kid and got scared". He sat up straight and looked me in the eye with seriousness and asked me, " Lu do you really want me to believe that?"
"but I'm not lying!"
"okay fine, let's say you actually got scared from seeing a 'little girl', shouldn't there be something about the little girl you got scared of? Like her cute smile or cuteness...pftt hahaha"

He got up and walked towards the balcony door while I flushed with anger, I wasn't lying but he made sense that no one would believe the fact I got scared of a kid. "Lu, aren't you going to describe the little girl you saw?", I looked at his back which was facing me, the lightning outside highlighted his strong figure, " why? So that you can make fun of me again? "
"No I won't, so tell me about the little girl "
"umm...She was an average little girl, I think Asian cause she had this long pitch black hair which was in a princess cut I think...."
"don't tell me the fact that she's Asian scared you, seriou..."
"NO!! It was her eyes!!, her eyes were too pitch black but it was so scary like something, something... "
"like something staring right through your soul and so bewitching like it's suffocating you?"

My jaw dropped, how did he know? Did he see her too? Then why did he make fun of me?."Lucy come here for a sec", Caleb said as he reached for my hand and pulled me near him towards the balcony. "huh?! Why what's wrong, did somethi....", I dropped the lollipop on the ground at an instance and shivered while holding the ends of Calebs shirt tightly. The Little girl was standing right there in front of us sitting on my balcony's railing. She was staring at us the same way like  before, except she had a smirk on her face but for some reason I felt really sleepy. I heard a thud behind me, so I looked behind and saw caleb on the floor. The last thing I saw was the girl jumping into Calebs balcony and all I could spurt out before collapsing was " crappy boy dint I tel...."
