The Vampire & The Witch(Trials of sucess)

Part 12

   "Nana I missed you."I said hugging her.

   "Oh I missed you too, Charles you're so thin is Karin feeding you?"

   "It's good to see you too Grace."He said.

   "Karin you could cook him a good meal once in a while.

   "Mother please, I cook for him everyday."My mom said sounding irritated.

   "Well I'm just saying he could use some good home cooking."

Wow there's a little tension in here, time to change the subject.

   "Nana where's Sam?"

   "Sam is staying with a friend, don't worry she'll be fine."

We got into the car and headed home.

   "The plane got me all tired,"She said holding her lower back with her hand,"Nana's getting old baby."

     "Do you need help with your bags."Josh asked.

     "No, I got it. Paris, training will start tomorrow morning at eight, in the backyard, don't be late."She said while taking her bags into the guest room.

    "Hey baby I was thinking that maybe we should go see a movie tonight."Josh suggested.

   "That sounds great,when?"

   "As soon as you go get dressed."

I ran down the hall to my room and changed out of my sweats and  into some skinny jeans matched with a gray Minnie Mouse shirt.

     "I'm ready,"I said while walking back into the living room,"let me just write a note to let them know we left."

After I wrote the note we got into the car and drove to the movie theater.

     "Can I have two tickets for Love Me And Leave Me Dead please."

The ticket master printed out the tickets and handed them to Josh.

    "Lets go get some snacks, I'm starving."I explained.

On my way to the snack line I bumped into a pretty lady with red hair who looked to be in her 30's.

     "I'm sorry. I wasn't looking."

     "It's quite alright darling."She said in a southern accent.

I suddenly had a De JaVu moment, like I've seen her somewhere but I can't remember.

     "Well I better go before I miss my movie, again I'm sorry."I said while walking away to meet up with Josh.

Something about her set me off, maybe it was just me.

       "Hey I thought you were getting a snack."

       "I'm...I'm not hungry."

       "But, you were starv..."

       "Well I changed my mind no big deal."I looked back at the spot where I bumped into the red head and she was still there staring at me.

       "Josh,"I said pushing my elbow into his side,"there's this red head that's staring at me."

Josh looked around the theater.

       "I don't see anyone babe."

       "That's impossible,"I looked around, she really wasn't there,"she was just..., never mind, lets enjoy the movie."

But the truth was I couldn't enjoy the movie, I was still thinking about the red head. Why was she staring at me in such a weird way.

       "Isn't this a great movie?"Josh whispered into my ear.

      "Yea it's really good."

I sat back in my seat and watched the rest of the movie, it actually was really good.

       "I would have never thought the killer would turn out to be his twin brother."I said while walking out of the movies.

We were walking towards the car when I felt that someone or something was watching me.

      "Paris what's wrong?"Josh said alarmed.

      "I'm just tired, come on lets go home I have to wake up early for practice."

Before I got into the car I turned my head towards an alley and saw the same red head from the movies, panicking I jumped into the car.

       "You sure you're okay?"

       "Yea, like I said I'm just tired."

When we got into the house it was around eleven. All of the lights were off so Josh and I went to bed. I woke up around one in the morning and couldn't go back to sleep. Careful not to wake Josh up I crept out of bed and went into the kitchen. I was taken back by surprise when I saw my dad getting milk out of the fridge.

         "Hey gumdrop, what are you doing up?"

        "I couldn't sleep."

        "Want some warm milk?"

Back when I was smaller and my nightmares started back up my dad took me to the kitchen so he could make me warm milk, then he would take me back to bed and sing Elvis Presley. He was a terrible singer but it was soothing to me.

       "Sure dad, everything you make is good."

He smiled and started pouring the milk into a pot on the stove.

      "You know when you think you see something but it's not real?"I asked.

      "Yea, when you hallucinate."

      "I don't know what's real or fake anymore dad."

      "Don't worry gumdrop you'll figure it out, you're one smart girl,"he gave me a kiss on the forehead,"now do you want honey?"

I sat there drinking my milk, recapping all the events that went on this week. My dad called it a night when he got finished drinking his milk. I put my cup into the sink and went back to my room. I fell into a nice sleep right before I had to wake up for training.

       I went into the bathroom and washed up, I had a pair of black yoga pants and a gray tank top sitting on the chair in my room. I put them on and went into the hallway closet to borrow my mom's black Nike sneakers, quickly putting my hair up into a ponytail I rushed outside to the backyard.
