The blood secret

Chapter 7

Before we could use the telescopes, we had to listen to the teacher drag on about how to use them and what we had to look for. It felt like ages before he finally shut up and actually demonstrated how to use it. I looked up at Finn and he must have felt me watching him because he smiled and gave me a little nudge with his elbow. 

Once the teacher had a finally shut up about all the safety instructions and how to use it, we all went off to our telescopes. Finn let me go first since i couldn't stop bouncing with excitement and i knew he was hiding a smile. When i looked through the telescope, the sky looked amazing being able to see the stars up close was just breath taking.

I must admit, i had no clue what i was doing and every time i adjusted it, it became all blurry. "Do you know how to use this? I keep making it all blurry." I said turning around to look at Finn.

"Yeah, tell me when you can see." Without any warning, he wrapped his arms around me and started to adjust the telescope. It reminded me of when he had taught me to play pool, my face started to turn red and i could feel my heart racing in my chest. Every time he adjusted it i could see clearly but ii just couldn't bring myself to tell him, i didn't want him to move away. "Can you see yet?" I snapped out of my thoughts as Finn spoke into my ear, the feel of his breath on my neck sent a shiver down my spine.

"Nearly." I felt him breath on my neck as he let out a small laugh, i guess he knew i was stalling"Stop That's perfect". I put my head up and smiled at him, then went went back to looking through the telescope.

The stars looked amazing, the sky was crystal clear making it easy to point out the constellations. As i looked through the telescope, i kept getting this weird feeling in the back of my head. It felt like something was pulling me forwards but not my body, it was like someone was pulling my mind.

All of a sudden everything went black, it felt like someone had just pulled me out of my own body and i was now standing in darkness. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath but when i reopened them, i wasn't at the telescopes anymore. I was in a cemetery, it was pitch black and a thick fog was rolling in covering my ankles.

I walked a little further into the grave yard, minding my step as i went. This place looked old like it wasn't even used as a cemetery anymore, a few graves had been smashed by fallen trees and a couple of animals had dug holes on some peoples graves. I was about to make my way around a huge grave stone, when i heard voices coming from in front of me.

I quickly ducked behind a grave stone and was about to make a run for it when i heard one of the voice's. I thought i heard my fathers voice, i was sure that was him but then i remembered he was dead so there was no it was him. I chose to have a look anyway, i quietly peered over the top of the headstone and there he was. My father.

Right then and there i wanted to run up and hug him but all of a sudden another man walked out of the bushes, holding a box. I couldn't get a good look at the other guy but there was something familiar about him, i just couldn't put my finger on it. I chose to stay hidden, still scared and confused as to how i ended up here so i went back behind the grave stone.

I tried to listen to what they were saying but they were to far away for me to hear them, i spotted another head stone and tried to quietly move over to it but i caught my shoe on sticking up branch and tumbled forwards, landing hard on my shoulder.

I let out a loud cry and immediately threw my hand over my mouth but for some reason it didn't seem like they heard me and now i was only a few steps away from them. I got to my foot, cradling my arm trying to ignore the pain and yelled at them. "HEY." But they still didn't notice me. I stayed were i was and leaned against the grave next to me, listening into their conversation.

"I think this is a bad idea, the Archangels asked me to protect it. I don't think burring it in the ground is the best idea." My father said as he dug the shovel into the ground.

"Well i do, i mean who's going to come looking for it here." I had no clue what was going on but then i noticed something on the top of the box, it was a weird symbol. It looked similar to the one Ace had on his hands but this one was a cross with what looked like wings sticking out on either side, the whole thing painted in gold. The guy holding the box laid it down and picked up the shovel my father had put down. "I'll do it then."

"Wait, let's just think about this for a minute." He placed his hand on top of the shovel, stopping his friend from using it, "Come on, you know this is a bad idea." The other guy pushed my fathers hand of the shovel but didn't do anything, he just stood there staring of into the forest.

"If we stay here any longer, they will find us." He pushed my father out the way and started digging the whole, i was watching them from only few feet away and i was so tempted to run up to my father but something told me if they couldn't see me then i probably couldn't touch them. "Help me?"

"Did you hear that?" I watched as my father stood up, looking around at the dark forest. i listened carefully, trying to hear whatever it was that he could hear but at first there was no noise, not even the birds were singing. Suddenly i heard a small scream, it sounded far away but it worried me that we weren't alone. since i had no one around to help me and all my nightmares kept flashing back in my mind, i wasn't sure what to do. I looked around but saw no one and i couldn't hear them any longer. "I think someones out there."

"You're just saying that, so i'll stop digging."

"I'm not joking, i think we're being watched." My father stepped around the hole and jogged of into the forest, without thinking i went after him. The other guy was running behind me and suddenly my father came to a stop, i almost ran into him but managed to jump to the side before i collided with him, if i can even touch him.

My father dent down and picked something up, i had to peer over his shoulder to see what it was. I was shocked to see him holding a small girl, at first i thought nothing of it then i noticed that the young girl. Was me. I started to remember the night that i had got lost in the woods, behind my house trying ot find my father. I remember falling over while running and hitting my head on a rock. That must have been why i didn't remember it very well, "I have to take her home."

"What about the chest?" The other guy walked up to him and tried to make himself bigger, trying to intimidated my father but he came up just a little smaller than him. "We have to bury it."

"OK, but for tonight i'll keep it at my place and in the morning, i'll bury myself." My father said as he headed towards, where they had left the chest.

"How do i know you actually will." He said with a bitter tone to his voice.

"Guess you'll just have to trust me, now i'm taking the chest and Sky back home." My father carried on walking and i ran after him but the further he walked the harder i found it to keep up with him. It was as if i was being pulled back, then suddenly my body dropped to the floor and the darkness took over again.

I could feel someone shaking me, i opened my eyes and look around at my surrounding but my eyes only saw a dark figure running of in the distance. That's when i noticed it was Finn, he was chasing someone into woods that surrounded the planetarium, that's when i remembered where i was. 

I tried to sit up but the teacher just kept pushing me back down, telling me not to move, after a while i just gave up and laid back down. While i laid there, i could feel my eyes starting to get heavy and my body felt exhausted. In the end i just gave up and closed my eye and after that i don't remember anything.
