In the Panthers Eyes (ON HOLD!)

Chapter 1

Chapter 1:

       Aaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!!! I screamed waking up for the third time that night. I was covered in sweat as I sat on my bed and, tried to think about something anything other than my dream. But, sitting there I couldn't help the rush of the dream returning...

       Sleeping one night I wake up to a very loud crash, being two almost three, I didn't know what was happening. Then my bedroom door bursts open and my brothers and sisters rush in. They were in their pj's and they each had a duffle bag with them. Mommy rushes in behind them carrying another duffle bag and begins to stuff my clothes into the bag. Not knowing what is happening I begin to cry. When she finishes she comes to pick me up and begins to murmur comforting words to me.

       The banging and crashing downstairs continued and raspy snarls and growls could be heard. Once my mom heard that she started to back away from the door closer to my siblings. Then my daddy came through the door with large gashes with blood dripping down his face and body.

       When mommy saw him she said "Me and your father love you very very much. Never forget that my little skeeter bug." She kissed my forehead and daddy kissed my forehead and took up a protective stance in front of my brothers, sisters, mom, and me. Mom handed me to my oldest sister. The last words I heard my dad say was "You four better raise and protect your little sister with your life no matter what got it!" Just then the door burst open, and my mother shoved us towards the window. As I watched over my sisters shoulder. I saw a huge black beast thing come in and rip my dad's head clean off his shoulders. When my mom saw this she dropped to her knees and she let loose a blood curling scream yelling his name. She was shaking why I had no clue, and just as she was getting up three more beasts came in and ripped her head off of her shoulders too. Their bodies fell lifeless to the ground. We were almost to the car when I heard, saw, and felt the rawr of anger the first one let loose as it looked in my empty crib. Then it turned its head jumped through the window locked eyes with me give an evil grin and start a slow jog in our direction.

       I began to scream so my siblings ran the rest of the way to the car. With me in arms they jumped in, and peeled out as fast as they could. In the distance I saw the beast thing take off at a dead run trying to catch up with us. In my head when it took off I heard a voice snarl "I will find you no matter where you go I will be there!!" With its eyes still locked on mine I watched as they went from a dark blue to a soul sucking black...

       That’s all I can remember. When it gets there I wake up panting and screaming. I can remember what my mom and dad looked like. My dad was tall and muscular with dark brown hair and eyes. He had sharp features that whenever he looked at my siblings, mom, and especially me softened considerably. Both mom and dad had an air of authority to them that made people stop and listen. My mom was a tall blond she had a slight muscle build and blue eyes that could coax the truth out of anyone. I miss them so much I only wish I could have spent more of my life with them. I now know what those beasts were cause when I was 8 my brothers and sisters told me what they were but didn't say anything else but that I would know when the time was right. Whatever that means.

       Upon looking at the clock I see that its 8:00 and knowing that I won't be able to go back to sleep I get up and go to take a shower. Once I got out of the shower and from clearing my head of the dream I head down to the kitchen to get some breakfast not knowing what my two oldest siblings had in store for us. I came out got me a bowl of my favorite cereal (Captain Crunch) and sat down. Once I sat down they all looked at each other then at me. At that time Derick and Anabeth stood up looked at each other took a deep breath and said "Kiki we are going back home."

       I stopped dead in my tracks dropped my spoon and looked at them like they were crazy but, before I had the chance to say anything they started to explain themselves. James started off with saying "Look I know you don't want to go back to the place our parents were killed but, there are some things we need to take care of especially now that you’re almost 16."

       My mouth dropped open "WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING!!!!! SO WHAT I'M ALMOST 16!! WHO CARES WE HAVE BEEN RUNNING ALL MY LIFE FROM THAT PLACE AND I SURE AS H*LL DON’T WANT TO GO BACK NOW!!!" I screamed at the top of my lunges.

       "Don't yell at us Kiki you'll only get yourself in trouble." Kalieka said. Knowing it was no good to argue with Kalieka I spun on my heel and headed off to my room to pack all that I had (Which wasn't all that much) so we could return to the one place I never wanted to see again.

       When I got back to the kitchen after packing my things and listening to my music (My only method of calming down) I asked when we were leaving knowing it would be soon. "We are leaving now we were just waiting for you to get your stuff so we could leave. I know this will be hard for you but, trust me it's for the best." Kalieka once again spoke up (I always preferred her and James over Derick and Anabeth).

       Once we were in the car they told me it was going to take about thirty minutes to get to the old house, and I stared at them in disbelief of how close we have been all this time and they NEVER TOLD ME!!! I was furious to say the least. The whole ride there I just sat and glared at all of them I didn't say one word, and I wasn't planning on it. Finally we got there so I grabbed my stuff and headed for my room. I knew I would have to make some changes to my room, but when I saw it I didn't need to make any changes because it was already fixed up perfectly.

       I knew that Kalieka and James were the ones to fix it, and that’s just because they understood me more. Fearing what I was about to do I went downstairs and asked what we were going to do about school now that we were finally back home. Derick looked at me and said "You’re going to school while we get jobs so we can pay the bills and such." I looked at the ground and muttered "Why can't I just stay home schooled I don't know anyone so what would the point be in going to school."

       Deep down I knew there was no point in arguing but I had to say something it's not my nature to just back down from a fight that's how I ended up being homeschooled in the first place. Because someone would start something and I would just finish it by breaking their nose or some other bone in their body. So what I wasn't the nicest person around but, I wasn't just going to be like one of those preppy bitches and have someone else fight my battles for me. My style is more of a plan an elaborate chain sequence with about twenty plans in all in case the first one didn't work. So I ended up suspended or expelled and that was fine by me.

       So I trudged off to my room while they finished unpacking. I laid down on my bed and started to scheme of ways to get out of going to school. When I finally had my plans my mind started to wander and I didn't know what to think of being back home. I had the unmistakable feeling that we were in danger but I was not going to run anymore. I have to stand up and stop running from the place my parents were killed it’s time to face my fears once and for all, and still manage to stay out of school. I can do this!!

       When I woke up the next morning I was sweating like a pig. God I hate that stupid fucking dream I have to find some way to get rid of it. But for now I have to take a shower and get dressed. Haha time to put my plan/plans into action so I can see how well this is going to work out hopefully I can get out of going to school!!

       After my shower I headed downstairs for some breakfast. "Good morning Kalieka, James, Anabeth, and Derick!" I practically sang. While Kalika and James gave me funny looks Anabeth and Derick reply with a cheery "Good morning Kiki!” I politely asked "So what's for breakfast?" and that’s when James said "Whatever you are planning to do to get out of going to school forget it. There is nothing that you can do to get out of it.” I just cross my arms lean back in my seat and respond with "Why do you think I would do something to get out of going to school? Maybe I was just in a good mood until you ruined it did you ever think of that?!?”

       "Kiki you are never just in a good mood after you wake up so which means you probably have one of your devious plans in motion or you want something so which is it?" Kalika countered. “Fine James was right I am trying to get out of school. But why do I have to go you know I'll just get kicked out again!!" I whine. "Actually I don't think they will," Anabeth said, “if they know what's good for them." She added in a whisper. "Anabeth is right. Trust us we know what we are doing." Derick says. "Humph fine but I'll prove you wrong just watch." I say while giving an evil smile.

       I trudged off to my room to put plan B into action! In every place that we have lived I have stashed cameras and microphones all over the place so I can watch my devious plans play out from my bed. Haha this is gonna be great!!
