Chapter 5
" C'mon Aimee. Only one more test."
I whirled around to spot my older brother wearing his lab coat with two tubes of chemicals in each hand. I stumbled back and fell on my back. Propping up with my elbows I stared into his eyes. Instead of the usual playfulness there was a type of hunger and crazy glint in his eyes. He grinned creepily and stepped forward. I tried to move away but I was frozen in place, only able to stare at my brother in horror. He now was looming over me, and slowly tilted one of the tubes. The acid dropped on the side of my stomach , causing me to scream in pain and clutch my stomach as he continued with the other tube on the other side. I was helplessly flailing and screaming as he dropped more and more , one first then the other, one drop, then another. Finally, he crouch down and tilted both at the same time, looking a type of mad excitement. I kicked up, causing both tubes of chemicals to fly out of his hands and fly across the room. While he screamed and tried to catch them, I agonizingly got up and started to limp away, when suddenly I heard a crash and explosion. The impact made me fall forward, and I felt flames wrapping around my leg and pulling me in. I screamed in pain and rolled away, trying to fling the fire off my leg. I heard agonizing wails and turned my head to see my brother kneeling in the fire that was engulfing his body. As I reached my hand out to try to save him I heard distant echoes. The echoes became louder, and barking suddenly came up. I saw my brother's flaming hand reach out when suddenly....
"Aimee wake up."
I bolted up, sweat running down my face. I turned my head, seeing a very worried Cody and a whining Fumetzu.
" How'd you get in here?" I demanded.
" I was told to bring Fumetzu here." he said absentmindedly before sitting down at the side of my bed and anxiously asking, " Are you alright?"
I nodded and replied , " Yea. Why?"
" Because you kept on screaming when I got here and clutching your stomach. Do you have a stomachache or something?" He asked worriedly.
I couldn't help not be angry at him barging. Dammit I was turning soft! He was just concerned and that was sweet. I've haven't dreamed before in like 7 years, every since that accident. I always buried my feeling so deeply that all I ever did was fall into a dreamless sleep. Suddenly , I was dreaming again. I wonder why. I managed a small smile and turned my attention at Fumetzu, grinning widely now.
"Fumetzu! I thought you went home! Come here boy!" I patted my lap, and he immediately jumped on me, crushing the life out of me. I let him yip and slobber on my face for a while before sitting up and turning to Cody.
" Where'd you find him?"
" He was found at your apartment/penthouse when they went to get your clothes. They have been training him while you were taking test. Now he's free to live with you!"
I clapped happily, then glanced at my alarm clock to see it was 6:30 a.m. I quickly shot out of bed and scrambled up some clothes and dashed to the bathroom , calling to Cody, " Be right back!"
I took a 5 minute shower and blow dried my hair before putting on my clothes. I was wearing a pair of navy blue baggy cargo pants, a black tank-top, and my white Nike's with a low ponytail, leaving my bangs alone. I bounced out with a smile. Cody was in the middle of a wrestle with Fumetzu, with Fumetzu winning. I leaned on the bedroom post and watched with amusement as they were biting each other(literally). Finally, Cody glanced up to see me watching them. He abruptly stopped, falling limp and quickly got up, blushing furiously.
" I-... He..... I-I I think we should go now....." he stuttered, rubbing his neck.
I let out a chuckle before walking to the door and opening it with a smile. "Coming?" I asked.
