Chapter 5- visitors

We sat at my dinning table, with some hot chocolate, and skip sleeping on rock’s foot. Finally skip (kind of) liked rock.

“ok as I was falling, the beast started to climb the tree, that’s when you closed your eyes, and the beast grabbed me right out of the air, he helped me down the tree.” rock said after he took a long sip of hot chocolate.  I held my ankle close to me, after all it did still hurt.

“now tell Emily how did that happen?” rock said pointing to my ankle.

“oh its wired, I didn’t need to step over a root when we got close to the tree, and as I was running it seems like the tree’s root went up a inch high, and all these vines just some how tangled my foot up, so I couldn’t move my foot, and as I struggled more and more, thorns started to pop out, wired huh?” I said trying to wipe away the blood with a napkin.

“that is wired, but you know, they say that forest is hunted?” rock said pulling a band-ad from his pocket, this guy seems to have anything I need now and days.

“no I didn’t know that, hey want to go take a walk through the graveyard, and then have a chat with the ghost in the woods that we just came running out of, anything else that will make me want to check it out?” I asked

“well… they say that pond is hunted, but not by a ghost, you know what I mean?” rock asked.

“no, if its not a ghost, what is it?” I asked after I took a sip of hot chocolate.

“I don’t know” rock said, as he looked at the time “woo, 11:00pm  I should get home! Last night when I came home my mom flipped!”

“bye rock” I yelled as he opened the door

“bye, em” rock yelled back

“em? Who’s em?” I asked

“that’s your new nick name! em”

“call me Emily!”

“fine, bye Emily” rock called as he shut the door.

“time for bed, skip” I called to him a few minutes after rock left. He looked at me with his puppy dog eyes when I climbed into bed. “oh fine, get up here” I said with a sweet voice, as I patted the free spot where nothing but a blanket was there, skip jumped on where I patted. skip and I fell right asleep.

Later that night, I heard something that woke me right up. 

“so she is the famous little girl? That I was forced to hear so much about?” voice that sounded wired but mean said in a whisper

“oh please, you most likely put it on a different kid!” a voice with the tone of a king said, how many people where in my house?, I thought it was just a dream at first.

“her father paid me, to make sure his baby girl would do fine, without him, so I did! She shouldn’t be here!” the mean voice said, her heart sounds like steel, and I was right too.

“shhh! you’ll wake her!” a tiny guys voice said

“yeah, shhh you’ll wake her!” another tiny voice said, but different.

“shhh! you’ll wake the dog!” another voice said, but different then the other too. The dog! Skip will wake up, wait its just a dream. Skip can wake up and everything will be ok.

“bark” skip yelped when he saw something, but I didn’t understand at the time, how did he see my dream figures? Or are they my dream figure?

“calm down dog, there’s nothing to worry about, sleep” the king voice said.
