Holding What's Mine

Chapter 17 - Aviod

Hades is officially my new and only best friend, he listens to me squabble, he takes time to see me and never wants to leave me.

On my laptop I look up funny videos on the laptop and then looked up as how to get pay back and started with my newly perfected warrior skills which I have been trained to do and practiced here in the barn.

Now you may be wondering what happened to me.

And guess what, I ain't telling you.

But since you guys are actually willingly to hear I'll tell you like it was a tv show.

Previously in Essie's World.

Essie was coming back from seeing Hades again when everybody rushed inside.

Essie the curious sticky beak she was rushed in too. However she found no body in sight.
The mansion was empty and not a sound was to be heard. She cursed the world, but saw Patrick hiding. She went up to him and scared him, he ran away screaming and didn't come back. Anyway she went up stairs and their was no one their.
Doug and Casey was there secretly talking and they made eye contact. Essie started to approach her best friends.

But what did they do, they ran away.

Essie shouted "WHY ARE PEOPLE WALKING AWAY FROM ME!!!!!!"

She was determined to find the people in this house but there was no one, so she went to Xavier's Office. He'd been away for awhile by the looks of things and then the door opened. Sebastian looked at me with wide eyes and frowned.

FINALLY SOMEONE!

"Where is everyone and why are they running away" She said sadly, last time she talked to him properly was when Xavier was hurt.

Sebastian looked her dead in the eyes, "You stink and smell like horse" Then he walked away.

Essie huffed and was so confused, she lifted up her underarm. And sniffed, It wasn't that bad.

She pouted walking out of the Xavier office with a laptop and the mansion and yelled. "FINE BE LIKE THAT!"  and walked off to Hades with a mansion laptop in hand

And that is where I am now with Hades watching funny videos of how to get back at people whilst punching and training the hell out of it because I quote 'stink'.

Punching and kicking and doing roundhouses were satisfying and each day I was getting better. I was slowly catching up to the guys who had been there for a while and up to Casey who is bad ass and Patrick too. I huffed, sweating and sat on the wooden bench. Hades the #1 bestfriend in the world.

He nudged my leg and looked at me with large horsey eyes and couldn't resist. I saddled him freely and we galloped away from that rude house hold and the barn.

Today I was going to let Hades take me were he wanted to go.

The trees smelt of oak and the floor was soft and smelt of dampness. The sun shone through the canopy. It was late summer and soon to be Autumn. Hades took me through the scrub climbing up a mountainous hill, rocks fell beneath us as we went up the hill.

It was so green and the imagery of past fairytales re-entered my eyes.

I remember my Grandmother reading me Shirley Barber books. They had fairies and mermaids, trolls, gnomes and everything of fantasy land. My bedroom there consisted on everything based on those stories and the bed and one of those material fold out tent cubbies too.
I remember her reading me them when I used to come over and I would fall asleep every time.

I aslo remember the way I used to love dressing up, I had the fairy wings, wand, tiara and a ballerina costume that I would imagen myself being in her books.
