Chapter 7 - Human skull

Lucas's

''You mean she did not come to school?'' I asked Liz once again.

''Yeah! You've got a ear problem! and why asking me? You guys are neignbours so you shouldn't ask me!'' she yelled at me before facing her textbook.

''Sorry...'' I said sadly before walking out of her class.

She was right, she is living at the next apartment to my house but why is she absent in school today and her brothers too.

This is strange!

''Anne why today..'' I stressed and sighed at the same time.

''Lucas...!''

The voice sounded like Anne's but unfortunately it's Quinn, she is having heavy makeup on her face, her short skirt is really flipping in air in a flirtatious I kind of wonder how she passed through gates and the teachers.

''Hey Quinn!'' I greeted back.

''What are you loooking for? Are you waiting for someone?" she asked moving closer to me.

''Nothing serious! Am just checking on someone...'' I answered with a smirk forming on my face.

''Who if I may ask?'' she asked with her stinking meek eyes instead of puppy charming eyes, her heavy makeup and her goggles made her look like a witch of summer time.

''Someone you don't need to know, just freak it...'' I replied almost rudely and I ended up smiling at her because she's pretty and pleasant at eyes. I like her cat eyes in her goggles unlike Anne's bugging eyes.

''Care for lunch together with me today?'' she asked. I do love to but I can't.

''Am sorry but no...'' I answered.

''Why?'' she asked lowly.

''Am kinda busy....'' I answered ready to walk away from more interrogations.

''With what?'' she questioned again and this time am pissed off!

''Why asking? am out of here!'' I said before walking out

Author's POV

[Note: POV means Point Of View]

🌼🌼🌼

Anne was treated and was perfectly okay, after she had explained the cause of her trauma and encounter that night, her family were shocked. Her brothers insisted and argued with her, convincing her that she had a ghostly nightmare her parents even agreed to register a therapist for her but she disagreed.

After hot and several arguments, they all agreed with her and her brothers intended to go to the garden and check it out, Brady was checking out the muds, he found something odd and horrifying.

It's look like a dried bone, he moved closer to observe it and lo!

It's a human skull.

Anne's

''But am saying the damn truth, it wasn't a nightmare! Okay! Alright! Fine! it was a nightmare! Who the hell would break the mirror!'' I half yelled, am still on my bed, they wouldn't let me out.

''No darling! You probably had a nightmare, Honey! we must start monitoring any movie Anne watches from today henceforth...'' Dad said into the phone in a strict tone

''Dad.....!'' I cried lowly.

'' Yes dear!''

Mum just left for work and my dad stuck me at home, I miss school today, Pete and Brady left for the garden in search of what I don't know.

Yesterday night was so terrible that I am trembly scared, am still asking my self

''Was that really Angela?''

It looks like I have seen her somewhere but I just can't remember and that bow there is something ridiculous about it that I can't justify yet.

I fell on the exact spot I found and it just like just like how I found it when we first moved here.

''My bow....!'' I remembered what it or she said yesterday night.

Oh my..... am really scared that clutched around my stomach.

''I want to eat something'' I said.

''Like wh.....''

''Dad we found something in the garden, come check it out!'' Brady interrupted running inside like he was been chased in, Pete was breathing heavily after him. I would've think they ran on a marathon race to here.

''What?'' Dad questioned.

''A human dead bone!'' Pete said and my dad spunked up likewise me.

We were shocked!

Lucas's

''Mum please i need your help'' I cadged, my mum who was watching the TV turned to me and said

''On what can I render to you my dear?"

''Let go visit the Carr together, Anne and her brothers did not come to school today and I don't know why'' I said with a pleading face.

''Why?'' Mum asked before consecrating on the tv

''I don't no..... let go find out and Anne didn't visit her garden today'' I said.

''Quite strange to make you worried alright then let's go!'' my mum said.

'Thanks mum!''

- - - - -

''Hello! anyone at home!'' my mum said and I stood beside her, we just got here.

The door opened and it was Anne that appeared first, I was glad.

''Oh Mrs Frey'' she said

''Good evening!'' she greeted with a smile.

That smile kills, it's just like my sister's smile.

''Evening! Anne'' my mum said

''Hi Anne!" I greeted and she nudged her head forward to look at me surprised.

She wasn't expecting that

''Hi'' she responded.

''Come in Mrs Frey'' she gestured opening the door and we entered.

My mum said on the couch, I sat opposite my mum on the other couch and Anne sat beside my mum

''You're the only one at home?'' My mum asked.

''Yeah Mum has gone to work, dad and my brothers just left to check something in my garden'' she answered.

" I was told by Lucas that you weren't at school today why my dear?...'' My Mum asked sweetly and she secretly glared at me.

My mum and Anne continue dicussing, I ain't willing to continue listening to them. I only came here to see her face, I looked around their sitting room and my eyes caught something, I stood up to check it out, it's a bow it looks exactly like my sister's.

''Hey! what're you doing there?'' Anne asked, I can hear her footstep behind me.

''Drop that thing!'' she yelled and forcefully collected it from me.

''Who own it? Mum come see what I've found!" I shouted with mix feelings in my stomach.

''Umm What?'' My mum walked to us.

''Oh my goodness!! Angela's bow!! where did you find it?!'' My mum asked almost tearing herself up.

''Angela?? Angela! who is Angela to you?'' Anne asked us confusingly.

''What's going on here?'' that's her dad voice.
