The Fire Inside Me ***completed***

Chapter 7

They had me start off with dish duty, me and another employee, Dee were new.
"Hi, I'm Jackie" I introduced myself well scrubbing a dirty frying pan.
"I'm Dee" she replied in a disappointed tone.
"Not happy with dish duty are you?" I asked trying to cheer her up.
"No, it's not that...it's just my mom" she said seeming more sad then disappointed.
"Oh"
It was silent for a long time, we both just stood there scrubbing plates, trays and old pans.
"Wanna talk about it?" I finally asked getting bored of the silence.
"No"
I just nodded then pulled out my iPod plugging in a set of earbuds, and turning on Kids Bop. She looked over at me, and I got the feeling she was jealous or suspicious. Maybe she never saw an iPod before.
"Kids Bop, I don't like that channel"
"Ok, well I do" The girl seemed a little mean every second I listened to my iPod and not her.
"So...do you have a brother?" She asked in a stuck-up tone.
"No...sorry to disappoint you" I said changing the song from 'Rodeo Girl' to 'Lonely Boy'.
"You didn't" she huffed pulling out her phone and turning on a horrible Rock song, her volume must have been at high because she was completely ignoring me when I asked her to turn it down.
She started dancing around the kitchen with a spoon in her hand and a butter knife in the other.
"Put those down please!" I tried to shout over her music.
"Wha?"
"Please put the knifes down and turn you volume down too."
"Sorry can't do that!" She continued to dance around like a maniac until the manager came and took away her phone.
"Hey you can't do that!" She said pulling at his arm.
"Really ma'am!" He added then walked off.
When Dee turned around her eyes were red with anger.
"This is your fault!"
I just ignored her and continued to do my dishes, there was a tap on my shoulder and Dee looked at me demanding that we went outside.
When we were standing outside I asked "what do you want?"
She answered by bursting into a green smoke and shooting balls of energy at me.
"I WANT YOU!" she screeched grabbing my arms and pulling me into the earths crust. I continued to go down and down, I hit the bottom with a thud and glanced at Dee, she had we wrapped up in a sticky web like substance. The only thing free was my arms, so is started to blast lighting at her. She dodged every blow and then webbed my arms down,too.
"Let me go!" I demanded squirming in the web "let me go!"
"Not until you give me what you stole!" She looked into my soul, poking my heart with her claws.
"And what was that?" I asked confused.
"The dice-o-phere, I know you have it, other wise you wouldn't be able to shoot lightning!"
She met my powers, how would I be able to give that to her.
"How?"
"By killing your self!"
My head got hot and sticky, blood flooded around my body, kill my self. I couldn't murder myself, that would be wrong, and I have so much to look forward to! A light came from no where. I blinked and I was.....home! My dad was sitting on the couch watching football and my mom was cooking dinner, a sweet aroma of garlic and chives filled the air. I looked down the hallway into my room, was Rose here. Sure enough sitting on my bed was Rose.
"Hello big sister!" She said standing up and hugging me.
"Your not going to attack me?" I asked confused by this nice gesture.
"Why would I do that, I love you!" She handed me a picture of two people sitting by each other with a cat in the center. Mermaid jumped onto her lap and started licking my hand.
"Do you like it, I drew it my self?"
"It's very nice"
She hugged me again, knocking Mermaid off her lap. Hiss. She arched her back and slinked off.
"That cat is grumpy today!" Rose commented releasing me from her hug.
"Yeah I bet" I chuckled enjoying the moment.
"Dinner kids!" Mom shouted from the kitchen.
Me and Rose ran out of the room and sat down at the small dinning room table, mom placed a plate in front of each of us, homemade fries and chive burritos. Delicious. We chatted well scarfing down the food for around an hour.
"Wanna play d-dolls?" Rose asked cleaning her plate.
"You have a stutter?" I asked unknowingly
"Yeah, didn't you know that?"
"Uhhh....yeah of course... and yes to dolls"
We ran into our room and she showed me the dolls she got today, Betsy and Fiona.
"You can play Fiona" she handed me the doll, Fiona had dark brown hair and olive skin.
Betsy had long blond hair and peach skin. They both had blue eyes. We started to play then realized we were getting watched. I drew back the curtains and behind was a big-b,he ugly scaly creature.
Rose let out a shriek so did I.
"Rose, get out of here....Go!" We started to run into the living room, she jumped on daddy and I backed up against the Tv.
"Girls what's the problem?" Mom asked washing the dinner dishes.
"M-monster!" We screamed together, grabbing each other's hands.
"Girls, monsters don't exsist" she came over to calm us down but it was too late. The creature was walking down the hallway, towards us. It reached one suction cuped arm out for mom, then the lights went off and back on, our mother was gone.
