Shadows

Chapter 2

"What the hell was that for!" I got up and screamed.

I have no idea who the hell this girl thinks she is, but oh, is she in for it.

"I have been waiting to do that since last year." She smirked.

"I have no idea who you are, or why you did that, but I'm going to give you five seconds to run."

By now a crowd was circled around us. I seriously don't know who this girl is, but I will punch her in the face if she doesnt apologize and get her shit straight. Or, in the glorious words of Carl the Llama 'Stab her 37 times in the chest'.

The girl giggled, "Wait, you really don't know who I am?"

"I tend to not have pathetic people at the top of my memory."

"Now you're in for it you litt-"

She couldn't finish her last words because well, I punched her in the face.

Blaise grabbed my hand and made her way out of the crowd until finally people went back to their own business.

"Dude! That's Tracy! She was messing with Angel last year and you slapped her!" Blaise screamed at me trying to make me remember.

I vaugley started to remember my violent tendencies last year.

"Oh, yes Tracy." I nodded.

"Why would you punch her!" Blaise glared at me.

"Look, I've had a lot going on right now and she was really annoying. Also, I hate when people talk bad about my baba's" I pouted.

Blaise groaned, "Same man, but you're lucky the head of the camp is best friends with your mom."

Oh hey. I forgot about that. Lucky me.

"But, whats been going on thats got you so aggravated lately?"

I thought back to the numerous arguements I've had with my mom over the last few weeks. All I asked was why we never visit any family like other kids, and where my dad is. We never, ever, ever talk about him. I don't even know his name.

"Nothing really, dont worry about it."

Suddenly it looked as if it were going to rain. Whenever I'm upset, the weather's upset. It's as if the sky wants to cry with me. Stupid I know, but it's true.

"Whatever, do you want me to walk you back?" Blaise asked me concerned.

"No I'm fine. Go find Scar and Angel." I said and faked a smile as best as I could.

I walked slowly back to my cabin until I decided to stop by the lake. I sat in the grass, admiring the small waves coming from the lake. If only I were a wave. Strange thing to wish to be, but waves don't have any problems do they? No. I don't think so.

All I want to know is what he was like. If he left willingly, if he cared about us at all? My mom somehow finds it impossible to give me a simple answer. Does she know what it's like to have this happen to her? She always said her father was there for her. Her life sounded perfect. Okay, maybe I'm being a little harsh. I'm just mad.

Suddenly it started to pour. I never really minded the rain, but I should start getting back.

I walked back to our small cabin and opened the door. I changed out of my clothes and put on some pajamas. I sat down on my bed and pulled out my phone. I started playing candy crush until I heard giggling coming from our door and saw Scarlett fall into the room. A straight on face plant. My poor, clumsy babycake.

"Need some help there?" I asked to a giggly Scar.

"Hi there sweet lumps." Scar said while attempting to get up but failing.

I got up from my spot on the bed and bent down to help Scarlett up.

"Did I ever tell y- Oh pretty!" Scarlett said while picking up a perfume bottle.

I took it out of her hands and put it back on the dresser.

"Did you drink?" I asked her.

"Just a little" She laughs.

I changed her into some pajama shorts and a big t-shirt before laying her on my bed. Scarlett should never drink. She always ends up telling secrets and crashes.

"Go to sleep, I'll deal with you in the morning." I said giggling.

****

I was laying on the top bunk since Scarlett couldn't make it up the ladder. I was just lost in my thoughts until I heard thunder.

See whenever I'm upset, the sky's upset.

When the sky's awake, I'm awake!

I couldn't take anymore and grabbed my phone dialing my moms number.

"Fae? Are you okay? It's late." My mom wondered through the phone.

"Mom I'm fine, I just need answers I'm seventeen now! Why won't you tell me!"

"Fae this is not the time for this."

"When will be the time!" I screamed. "It seems like you'll never tell me and it's driving me crazy!"

"Fae I a-"

"You tell me you're only keeping me safe, but safe from what? Just tell me!"

"I can't."

I hung up the phone and started to cry.

The winds started to pick up. The rain was falling harder. The lightning was flashing throughout the room.

The more I cried, the worse the storm got.

Until suddenly I felt a giant gush of wind came through the small cabin and Scarlett woke up in an instant.

"Did you feel that?"

"Yeah."

"I feel weird." She said standing up.

"Same."

We both looked at each other confused until Angel and Blaise ran into our cabin.
