Their Elemental Curse: Book 1

Chapter 7

*Shimizu Hada's POV:

"Shimizu! Shimizu! Wake up!" Robin shouted as she vigorously shook me out of my slumber.

I was the only one who slept on the floor. Robin slept in Gaia's bed with her, and Beval slept on the other side of the room on a bean bag chair, snoring loudly.

Waking up felt terrible. When I looked around me, it looked like that scene from the movie "The
Hangover".

But the only thing different was the fact that we didn't have chickens roaming around, a tiger in the bathroom and a baby in the closet and such.

"W-what's going on?!" I asked, half asleep as I reached for my glasses.

"The police were banging on our door," Robin announced.

What she said really woke me up.

"What?! What happened?! Why are they here?! Oh shoot, did we leave the music up too loud and fell asleep without turning it off? Do you think that's why they're here?" I asked Robin, panicking as I got up off the floor.

"I don't know Shimizu. But it is true that we fall asleep with the music still on. I turned off our music when I woke up about ten minutes ago. It was pretty loud, but not too loud for the neighbors to call the police, but who knows" Robin replied before she started walking to Gaia's bed.

"Where is Mr. King?" I asked Robin as she was about to wake up Gaia.

"Mr. King and Mrs. King are downstairs talking to the police."

I decided I had to go see what was going on.

"Gaia! Gaia! Get up! Police are here!" Robin shook Gaia vigorously.

"Ugh, what do you want Robin?!" Gaia angrily mumbled while pulling the covers over her head.

"I want you to get up! Police are downstairs talking to your parents, and I am praying to god that it isn't about us and our music!"

Immediately after Robin said this, Gaia opened her eyes, pulled the covers off her and jumped out of bed.

"Oh god! Oh god! I totally forgot to turn off the music! This isn't happening!" Gaia panicked. She ran over to Beval to wake him up.

"Val! Val!" Gaia yelled, panicking as she shook Beval with all of her might.

Beval opened his eyes halfway and sucked his teeth in frustration.

"What Gaia? What do you want?!"

"Wake up all ready!" she yelled.

He checked his phone.

"It's only four in the morning, we haven't had at least an hour of sleep!"

"Police are here!"

"What?!"

"Police...are...here" Gaia said slowly.

"Why?!"

"I don't know Beval. But I am hoping it's not about our loud music."

As this was going on in Gaia's room, I was in the hallway upstairs spying on the Police and Gaia's parents talking near the front door.

I know, I know, I shouldn't have been spying, but I was curious to know why the police were here at this time at night. I couldn't exactly make out what they were saying, but I didn't have to, because I felt my phone buzz in my pocket.

I checked my phone.

"An emergency alert?" I questioned out loud.

"Shimizu!"
