I Have Been Adopted By The Ipliers'

Home and Wonders

I finally arrived home and basically auto-piloted myself to my room and fell onto my bed. "Hey Morrigan!", Tim said walking over and sitting next to me shortly Sam popped outta nowhere and scared Tim off the bed. "Hi!", He said but I was just laying there lost in my thoughts thinking about 'him'. "Was your first day great?", Sam asked but I ignored ," Was it horrible!?", Tim asked in shock as he lifted himself off the ground. I rolled over and looked at my ceiling thinking and thinking until a knock came from my door and I shot up and stared. The door slowly creaked open and there was Wilfred in the doorway," Hey kiddo how was school?", he said with a smile. "Meh", I muttered and looked up at the ceiling as I fell back onto my bed," So was it not a good day?", he asked and I was lost, imagining, about many things until I heard the door shut and I shot up and no one was in my room anymore. I looked around confused seeing no one around, not even Tim or Sam. I got up and went to the window where I saw black, grayish, smoke hovering at the bottom of the window like fog.

 I slowly opened my window and climbed out down the wall and onto the ground. I walked up to the front of the house which looked normal meant I wasn't passed into the dark version. I walked out onto the street and walked down it towards the bus stop but I continued after it. I went a ways till I got a whiff of something good. I looked to the house next to me and it was a bit smaller than mine but looked like the same type. I approached it slowly till I went to the window where the kitchen was and pulled myself high enough to see someone at the stove cooking. I recognized that sweater from earlier, it was that guy. I tried to remember his name but a sound of something dropping like silverware falling startled me and I dropped down and sat against the wall as I heard footsteps approaching near me. I teansed up as I hear the sounds stop besides the sound of something sizzling in the background, most likely the food he was cooking. "Hey.", I heard and I screamed a sec then jumped up and looked at him. "What are you doing here?", He asked and looked at me weirdly and then he notice my face and shot into an embarrassed expression,"Uhh, it-it's you.. M-Morrigan, right?", he said and I slowly nodded and he looked up and around then at me. "You wanna come inside?", he asked and I shrugged ,"Sure."

 I went inside and he went back to the kitchen to finish the food which him making omelettes and bacon. "Here, it will take a few minutes to make you one but have some bacon, I made plenty.", he said with a smile and went to get more ingredients from the fridge. I sat down and took a slice of bacon of the middle of the dining table and ate it as I watch him cook. I started looking around until he set a plate in front of me and I looked up at him and he just stared at me and I stared back. We stared at each other for about a whole minute or so until I slowly blew at his face anf he blinked and I then jumped up and cheered ,"Woo! I win!"

I looked down to see him on the floor startled and I stared at him," Sorry..", I said and he smiled then got up. "It's fine", he said and sat down and started eating, so I did as well. After I was done I was staring out the window he accidentally left open. I watched at the night breeze blew through them till the wind stopped. I watched as theybcame to a stop then I was inturupted by him taking my plate to the sink and washing it. "Hey, Ruben. Do you think anything was weird at school today?", I asked and he turned around and he looked slightly amazed but then looked away quickly. "Actually, yes.", he awnsered and he looked at me which my focus was on the window so he closed it. I looked at him and he stared at me with a curious look, I just stared with no expression showed. "You are different aren't you.", he asked and I just stared till I finally answered,"What do you mean.", he didn't awnser me.

I stood up and stared then started to leave, "Wait!", he shouted and he grabed my arm which I spun around and grabed his. "Can I just ask you something", he said and I started to panic. I pulled at my arm but his grip was strong," Will you be my..", I didn't let him finish before I pulled my arm away and made a run for my house. I climbed up the side and into my window and backed away until I fell onto my bed. I covered myself in a blanket and rolled up in them and fell asleep almost immediately.

I stared through the window and slowly moved away then zooming across the neighborhood till I stopped at his house. I slowly approached it and seeped into the house up the stairs and go into a bedroom where I saw him. "Best not to mess with her. She's already been tgrough enough. She is only just a little girl you know nothing about", He spun around but I was well hidden in the corner blocked by any light. "Who's there!?", he shouted but I did not answer and started to make my leave. I then disappeared into the night ready to go home to my home in the realm of shadows.
