In Love With The Grand Guignol

Night four

"Mom, do you have a friend who needs a babysitter?" I asked my mom. She looked at me surprised. I don't really like little kids. I think they are annoying, but I need to find out what is in that book.

"Yes, I do. Why do you ask?" I paused. I really don't know what to tell her. I can't say I need to read a guide for babysitters so I can find out more about the Grand Guignol, but I can tell her I need money.

"Ummm.....I need money for......for a new dress!" God, I really screwed this up. I never wear dresses. I hate them.

"Ok? Well my friend needs a babysitter this Friday. Are you sure?" she asked me. Great so Friday I am babysitting.

I just finished my homework. It was difficult, but I did it. I went to sleep. The Grand Guignol is not going to come back. He is never going to come back. I changed in my pijamas and then I went to bed.

Fog started coming from under my bed and from my wardrobe. This isn't something new. It happens every single night. I closed my eyes, but right after I closed them I heard a voice. It wasn't my mom's voice. It wasn't my dad's voice either. It was the Grand Guignol's voice.

"Skylar, you were a very bad girl. You tricked me!" how does he know? He doesn't even know my mom! "But you won't do it again."

"What do you want from me?" I don't need his answer. I already know. He wants revenge, but I need to know how he will revenge. I need to know if he is going to kill me.

"I'm not going to kill you, Skylar. I would never kill you." wait a minute. I look at my bed sheets. They are pink. They haven't been pink since I was thirteen years old. Now they are blue. Am I dreaming?
"Bravo, Skylar! Bravo!" he clapped. So I am right. I really am in a dream. "Yes, Skylar. You are in a dream, but do you know why you are in this dream?" I nodded. "You are in this dream because I need to know what you are afraid of." what I am afraid of? Why does he need to know this? I think I am afraid of anything, except Mira when she is mad.

"I am not afraid of anything! And besides, why would I tell you?"

Then I heard an alarm and I woke up. I have to go to school. I didn't saw the Grand Guignol, but I heard him. If I will tell Liz she will think I am joking, even though I am not, this is why I decided I'm not going to tell her. I will just keep it for myself.

Tomorrow I am babysitting. I am a little bit nervous, but I will do my best.

I go downstairs and eat breakfast, then I go to school. Derik was looking at me all the time. Why does he need Mira's number anyway? I tried not to pay attention, but it didn't really work. Mira asked me why Derik was following us. I said I don't know, even if I did. I think Derik knows something I don't. Something very dark that I don't know.
