Megalodon: King of the Ocean

Chapter 8

The next morning passes by smoothly. I was watching the morning news and eating my breakfast when my family came home.

"Anything happen yesterday after we left?" Asks my grandfather.

"Nope". I say turning to give him a smile.

"How was the trip?" I ask, making my way over to the coffee machine.

"It was great. Your aunt was very nice and even made us breakfast this morning before we left." Says my mum, sitting down in the sofa with a sigh.

I glance around the room and see a tired look on everyone's faces. I guess my Aunt had her famous karaoke night yesterday.

I snicker to my myself before glancing down at my watch.

"Ok well I gotta head off to work now. See you all tonight." I head for the door, but momentarily pause when I hear my Dad's voice call after me.

"Tonight? Are you going anywhere after work?" He questions.

"Umm yeah. It's a coworkers birthday. We are all going out for dinner. Mkay bye". I say slamming the door behind me.

ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ

Just as the afternoon bell goes off, all the kids in my class hurriedly make their way towards the door.

"I will see you on Friday everyone. Have a great time at the fair!" I shout to the laughing children all to eager to leave.

"Miss C, are you going to the fair too?" I look down to see one of my students. In her hand is a signed form which I asked them to bring today.

Making my way over to my desk with her trailing after me, I give her question some thought.

"Hmmm. Well why not. We all have a day off tomorrow." I say filling the paperwork and turning to give her a smile.

"Ok. See you tomorrow at the fair Miss C". She giggles happily, running off to her mother who is waiting for her at the door. We both give each other waves of acknowledgment before she turns around and walks out.

I look at my wrist watch and see that I only have 30mins until my appointment with my therapist.

Cursing under my breath, I quickly pack up my things, and make my way out of the classroom.

Pulling into the car park I'm surprised to see only 2 cars parked.

I was expecting the place to be busier at this time, but I'm fortunately blessed with being the only patient for this afternoon.

As I make my way to the reception desk, I greet the receptionist and tell her I am here for my appointment.

She quickly types something into the computer, and after a few clicks smiles up at me.

"No worries Camila. Just make your way inside. She will be with you shortly."

Giving her another smile, I make my way to the doctors office.

Opening the door to the office. The first thing I notice is that all the lights are off.

"Umm hello?" I question, hesitating to go inside. Didn't she say that Julie would be here?

Suddenly a single light flickers on. It illuminates the patient chair and casts a very faint glow across the room.

I squint to try and make out anything else as I take a step inside.

"Hello Miss Camilla." A deep husky voice makes me jump.

I turn in the direction I heard the voice. The person is sitting on a chair in front of Julie's desk facing me. Their right ankle is resting on their left knee, and their hands are clasped lazily together on their lap. At my long stare they lean back in a chair, completely relaxed as if expecting my reaction.
