Chapter 10: Looking For Skylar

Yeah”

We shattered beneath a tree on the flower carpet watching the beautiful peaceful, calm sky. Not a single voice was heard either the tone of birds singing beautifully around and the voice the waving trees jabbering.

“Do you often come here?” I asked breaking the silence.

“Yeah”

“It’s very nice here you know.” I was force to made compliments.

“Yeah, that why it’s my coziness.”

“How did you discover this place?

Skylar exhale and look at me. “A long time ago, I use to come here frequently with my mom before she died. When my mom died, I stopped coming here. Three years back, I had a fight with my dad one day. I left and I had nowhere to go to. I suddenly thought of this place and I find my way back here. Immediately I arrived, I found all my troubles disappearing and again I could feel my mom beside me. Then I made here my coziness and come here anytime I’m trouble or had a fight with my dad.

“I’m sorry about your Mom.”

“It fine,” I said and lay on the flower carpet comforting his head with his hands.

“Why’d you often got into a fight with your dad?’ I found myself asking.

“My dad…,” he hesitated for a while. “Never mind, C’mon forget about the cold talks let just enjoy the peacefulness of the sky to the fullest. Here,” he hit on his chest. “You permitted to make my chest your pillow. It comfy”

I smile and snug on his chest. It’s really comfortable as he said. He removes his hand from his head and began patting on my hair softly.

I feel like I get nothing to worry about here. I feel free. “You know Sky, Sometime, I do think of giving up on my suppose in life, stopping half way the mission I was born for, running away from my family and search for a new memorable beginning.” I found myself saying without thinking twice.

“Why do you want to run away, like running away from your family? I don’t think your reason is worth it and I believe your situation is not even half way close to mine.”

Is that supposed to be a word of consolation? I questioned myself. I smiled on the Skylar words. If only he knew.

“You can tell me. Maybe I can be of help to you.”

“Never mind, I don’t want to mess up this nice atmosphere.”

“Stand up.” He said gently.

“Why?”

“Just stand up.”

I get off his cheat, sit up and I watch him amble forward a little and bellow.

I was surprise. I cover my ear with my fingers and continues. “What are you doing?”

“C’mon try it, it worked. C’mon!”

“Okay, okay.” I stand up, walk to him and hesitated before screaming loudly. It truly works. I felt release. I didn’t notices before giving him my brightest smile. He returned it and we continue, laughing, throwing flowers at ourselves and running like in the sweet sixteen’s.

Skylar brought me back home. He walked with me to the door. Immediately I got to my door, I notice something strange.

Look like I got visitors. I quickly stood at the entrance of the door blocking the Skylar way in. He looks at me;

“Can I come in?”

“Nope, it late already Sky, go home.”

“Sky?” He nodded his head smiling foolishly. “I like how that sounds. Okay, goodnight.”

“Goodnight sky.”

He began walking away and stopped when I called him. He turned back to me.

“Thanks, I really do have fun.” He smiles at me and I return his smile. He enters his car and I went inside and shut the door.

I walk to the living and what I expected wasn’t what I fully got. I was expecting the visitors to be Millie and Khloe but instead Men’s were standing, and a lady sited on my couch in my living room. I stood still looking at them and they do same. It like there has been waiting for me for a while now. I know this people are obviously not here for a friendly visit and there were too many of them, but it actually a little piece for me to handle.

“Look like I got visitors. I hope you guys make yourself comfortable while waiting?”

“Where is him?” The lady asked. I notice her voice seems familiar.

“Who? Oh! Now it very obvious that you guys actually came for somebody else. Now I’m going to ask you just this once. Who sent you?” I said walking close foot by foot. They remained unmoved giving me an unpleasant stare.

“I see you don’t want to answer that, well I I’m going to find out myself.”

“Get her and bring her to the car.” The lady ordered and walked out. The sound in her tone wasn’t the friendly types I notices. They started walking to me.

I smile at them. “Okay, how about we play this game called, “Chase me if you can” I said rather smiling.

“Get her!” They started running to me and I was very much prepared for the fight. I fought them all without mercy, killing them with a weapon I pick from one of them.

“I win!” I childishly jumped exclaiming. I bend down before one to check on their tattoos. I bet they are newbie vampire. But to my surprise they are from the Tetanus tribe, the Tetanus’s. I can’t believe I just fought with the Tetanus and succeeded. I gasp in fear as I jump away from the guy and began walking backward. Suddenly I heard the door bang open. I gasp even more in fear again looking at the door. The lady who left earlier walked in. I run immediately and abruptly I felt a tough force holding unto my neck. I hold my neck with my hands trying to go free from her spells. My hidden teeth grow out. I turn back still holding my neck and the lady was standing little away from me with a hand position forward toward me. She removes her hood with the other hand and beholds, Eleanor. My eyes open wide at the sights of Eleanor. I try to say something but couldn’t. She released her hand and I fell to the floor. I crawl

backward coughing and gasping for breath.
