The Curse

Chapter Nine

Sarah's point of view

I started walking towards my car that was packed in Sophie's drive way.

My hand clench into a fist but not the kind that seems like am angry but the kind of fist that shows that I was scared, extremely scared.

"Can you walk faster" Sophie said

Well I won't blame her for asking that question because we had barely made it pass the door.

"We would have been there if you took the lead" I responded

Without saying anything else Sophie pushed me lightly making me stumbled across the door and onto the pavement.

  I turned around and looked at her with a pursed lip.

"Do you want me to push you again" she asked

I sighed a little before making way to my car but with a more bigger stride this time.

Finally we made it to my car and the fear inside me relaxed a little knowing that Sophie was right beside me.

"You need to get a new car" she said "this one is old already"

"I will when I have the money" I said

  I still agreed with her because this car has been with me for the past five years now ever since it was given to me when I was eighteen.

But at this moment I can't afford a new car because the company isn't paying enough for our efforts.

Not to dwell on it anymore I bought out my car key from my pocket unlocked the car before opening the front door.

"So where is this letter" Sophie asked

In response I quickly made my way inside, I looked around for the letter and I found it in the back seat.

I quickly grabbed it and made my way out of the car before locking it and running back into the house like before.

"Seriously" Sophie said with her voice raised a little so that I could her over the distance I made between her and me when I ran inside the house.

I looked at her with a sorry expression before she made her way towards the house.

Immediately she entered she locked the door with the multiple locks found on her door.

Well you can't blame her for having so much lock as a single lady living in a huge house like this, she is bound to have strong security.

"Show me the letter" she said

"Ok but promise you won't freak out"

"I promise" she said

I gave her the brown envelope without it a second glance.

She took it and opened it up but to my surprise she brought out a bunch of office paperwork.

" Wow, What a weird letter" she said sarcastically

"What" I said before reaching over to take some papers out of her hands looking for that particular one.

"The marketing plan for the new project" she said raising the paper up for me to read it and it said the exact same thing.

Was I hallucinating, no it can't be I saw it.

The letter was there infact it was the only thing in that brown envelope.

"The envelope" I whispered

Picking the envelope up I looked for that red inky stamp that was on it but it was no where to be found.
