The daughter of a spider

Chapter 6

Ughhhhh can dinner go by any slower. I mean really. Plus I am 98% sure Hamish is scare of daddy and papa. We eat in complete silence and I felt the need to break it. "So papa dinner is really good tonight."

"Thank you tiger cub. How do you like it jimmy?" He replies. "Perfect as always sweet Heart. Hamish you are awfully quite over there. How are you liking your food?" He said. I look over at Hamish who seems to be trying not to freak out. Why is he so scared of them I mean there just people. "Um it's very good sir. thank you sir." He said in a shaky voice. I look over to him and mouth the words 'calm down' he barely nods and the looks down at his plate. "Sweet heart me and papa are going to both have to go to work tomorrow so you and Hamish are going to be on your own for while do you mind? " Daddy asked then taking another bite. "But it's Saturday you 2 are supposed to always be home on Saturdays." I said which is true they have been going back on there promises lately. One of the usually stay home with me durning the week and then they promise that they would both be home on weekends. Lately they have been going back on that. Lately at least once a week they would both go in to work and I would be left here alone, or daddy would go in durning the weekend and me and papa would just stay with me but this is a first. Both of them going in? What's going on? "I know sweet heart we're sorry but works just been crazy lately and i need papa to come with to help out with some pesky little problems." He replied. Work it's always about work. Work work work work work. That's all he ever does. What does he even do. I mean I know he runs a large network but what does that even mean. "What do you even do at work?" I ask and the room fell silent. Papa literally stopped mind bite and put his fork down and looked over at dad who was now mouthing words back and forth with papa. I look over at Hamish who sits so still that he could be a doll. Why are they all being so secretive. "What are you guys hiding from me that's so important that you can't even tell your own daughter?" At that every one turns to look at me. "Well someone's a little curios cub tonight isn't she?" Papa said with a slight giggle. He said standing picking up his plate and then walking passed me patted me on the head. He then maid his way into the kitchen to go clean his plate. I look over to Hamish who resumes to looking down at his plate. "Well?" I say now turning my head over to dad. "Well what sweat heart?" Dad says acting like nothing just happened. "What do you and papa do for work?" I ask again this time a bit frustrated. "I think that's a story for another time my dear." He said doing the same thing as papa. I huff in frustration because of the fact that they are definitely not telling me some thing. I slump into my chair. And look over at Hamish who has now relaxed greatly now that my fathers have left the room. "You ok?" He asked sounding worried. "Not really." I said getting up ignoring my plate and leavening it for my fathers to pick up. "Come on." I said pulling him by the hand. "Where are we going." He asked surprised by my strength. "My room."
