Bang!
You open your eyes to the sound of something hitting the floor. You open the door and run
downstairs. Then you feel someone cover your mouth and eyes. You try to scream but it's
muffled by the hand covering your mouth.
"Serran?" Says a voice from behind you. The hand
lets go and then you see a familiar face, Chris. "Chris?! Oh my god you scared me! How'd you get in? Be more quiet too, what happens if he wakes up?" He scratched his head in
embarrassment. "Well , someone just happens to leave sandals near the stairs. Also your mum
left a window open for me." Then you hear a door upstairs open. "Go hide, the kitchen has a
door to the yard!" He runs to the kitchen and opens the door and closes it very quietly.
"Who is
it?" Says a deep and demanding voice. "Um just me I tripped over some sandals and fell." "Serran? What are you doing there?" Then the lights turn on and there stands your stepfather. "Uh, I was trying to get some water." Silence, "Okay, hurry up and go to bed." "Okay, bye." He nods and leaves back to his room. You let out a sigh of relief.
"He gone?" Chris whispers while getting back inside. "Yeah, be careful. Don't go near rooms 2, 4, 6, 9 and 15. Those are the
rooms of my siblings that don't know about you." "Okay, is everybody else awake?" "Yeah mum
said to stay alert so that he doesn't find out, I'll text them if you want me to." "Okay thanks, I'll
get your stuff first." "Kay" You both go up and you go out of the room to text them all telling them
that Chris is here to pick up their stuff.
"Okay I got all of your stuff." "How if you didn't make
noise?" "My guys down there are helping me." He points out the window and down there is a
group of people taking the boxes down. "Okay gotta go now, bye." "Bye." He leaves the room. You go back to your bed and try to go to sleep.
You wake up once more but this time to the sound of Rumor yelling to you from the door.
"Serran, hurry up and get dressed, we have to go downstairs!" He leaves and goes down the
stairs. You get up from the bed and head over to the closet to change. Once you finish you go
downstairs in a deja vu manner. There at the table is the whole 'family' sitting and eating their
breakfast.
Your stepfather glances up and immediately glares. He Wipes his mouth and clears
his throat. "Today I'll be going to your grandparents house, it's my birthday and many people
will attend this party. I will go early to help prepare. You guys will come at 8 and greet the
guests. Understood?" "Yes father we all understand" Eadgyth says with a smile. "Good!" He
says back while standing up. "Bye, Edmund!" Your mother says smiling while waving from the
kitchen. He waves and then leaves the house. "Everyone hurry up, eat and then go prepare
your things. Elodie, Rumor, Emma, Ellington and Temptation I'll explain what is happening."
Everyone else quickly eats and one by one stands up to clean their plates while your mother
explains the situation to them. "And that's the situation."
They just sit there with wide eyes. "So
you're telling me, he-he wants to kill his own children?!" Emma says with an angry tone. "Pretty
much." Your mother says with downcast eyes. "We-we have to hurry up, we have to leave."
"Emma calm down! Just pack your things, Chris is going to pick us up. We are going to Eronktov with him. Your grandparents are there, they can help us." Your mother says while blocking
Emma from going upstairs. "Okay, okay we'll go pack, when are we leaving?" "In 2 hours."
"Okay, at 9 okay we have enough time. Wait what about Étienne we can't just leave him, he's
his child he'll get hurt!" "We are going there after he picks us up then we'll go to the outskirts
where my real husband is and head out." "Okay, okay let's get ready." Your mother lets her go
and goes to the kitchen. "Serran leave the plates to me, go get your things." "En." You run up
the stairs into your room.
