Beyond ~ The Dark Ages

1 ~ Wierd

It's the 28th of March. 8:00am to be precise, and I would be in a frenzy right now if it was a week day. Yeah it's Saturday and I'm happy bout that. Sure I love the thrill of being in school, but it just tires me out sometimes.

I hate waking up early. I completely despise it. I also hate it when I'm woken up from sleep. It's more than annoying.

Incase you're wondering, it's me Mavis. Mavis Dain. 16 year old music loving girl or shall I say lady. I'm olive in complexion, with dark long bouncy hair. You could call it an afro. I've been told I have the face of an angel but I choose not to believe them.

"Mavis!" Ugh

"Yes mum!"

"Get out of bed already!"

"Why!? I don't have anything doing today!"

"Get down here right now young lady!"

I get up begrudgingly from my queen sized bed....yes queen sized. Brush my teeth and put on an ash sweat shirt and black sport shorts. I take a look at my light blue eyes in the mirror as I always do every morning, and I'm reminded of my dad. They're the same colour as his. I fly down the stairs even if I'm extremely tired.

"There's my baby girl" my mother remarks with a smiling face that mirrors mine.
"Morning mum"
"Morning baby girl. How're you this morning?"
"I'm tired mum" I say with a pout.
"But baby girl, you have chores, don't you?"
"No I don't. My clothes aren't that dirty and as I can see, you've already cleaned the whole house" I don't know how or why she does it but she cleanes the whole house in barely 20minutes. Not to mention how huge the house is. She's literally obsessed with cleaning. You could even smell the cleaning agents around you.

She lookes at me with guilty eyes, her black eyes glitering as if thinking of something else, and suddenly looking lost.

"Mavis I gotta ask, have you felt anything strange lately?"

"How so, mum?"

"Like a prescence, or something?"

"I don't know mum" uh oh, I've acctually felt a kind of prescence once or twice. Who am I kidding, I've felt it thousands of times. I'm just afraid of what it might be if I tell her.

"C'mon baby girl, tell me. It's important I know what's happening with you"

"Why mum? Is something wrong with me?" Oh no.

"No sweetheart, you're okay. I just need to clarify something"

"Well yeah I do......sometimes" Jeez this is scary

"How does it feel?"

"I.......I don't know" Yeah, i have problems expressing myself. I want to say something but just can't. It mostly ends up with me saying 'i don't know'

"Mavis, talk to me-"

"What's up people!" Oh thank goodness. That must be my brother, Mason.

"Mason!" Boy, am I happy to see him. I hate talking bout myself........except to Mason and Donny my best friend.

"Hey, baby sis. How are you?" Walking over to me, mum looks like she could ground him for interupting us. On the other hand I'm entirely grateful to him.

"I'm cool. Where'd you come from? I didn't hear you come downstairs" Yes I just need to get him talking and I'll be safe.

"Well I entered the shower early today. Can you believe it!? I took a shower early!" He walks over and embraces mum.

"Congratulations Mason" mum remarks looking as sarcastic as ever. I've done it! She's distracted.....for now. I know my mum, she's gonna get me to talk sooner or later.
