Mom and Dad were gone for the night. My uncles had been given the night off. And on top of that, Lex and Rudy said that I was not allowed to leave my room because there were no other guards here. They said that they didn't want to risk what might happen if I were to explore the area.
What the hell did they think was going to happen? Did they think that I was going to go for a walk and wind up falling into the ditch? If that happened I might end up getting abducted by aliens and not coming back for ten years. Then all hell would break loose because I would still be fifteen years old while they all had gotten older. Not that it would matter much, since they were all immortal and only the kids would be affected by the passage of time. Yeah, they must think that would be the case. I mean, what else could they possibly be afraid of?
