Chapter Four.
By the time I left the shop it was around 7pm in the evening but it wasn't that dark so I decided to walk home.
When I got to a corner, I felt I was being followed. This is the second time I have felt like this and last time I ended up meeting chace in my house. I wonder who I will meet this time. It might sound crazy but I'm kinda looking forward to it.
I decided to ignore the feeling of being followed, I'm sure it's them again. By the time I got home it was already late so I decided to just go to bed.
I waited on my bed to see if I would meet any unwanted visitors again but no such luck.
Just when I started feeling sleepy I heard a sound outside my door. I got up slowly and walking as quietly as possible to my door when I get there I hear a shuffling sound. I'm not alone in the house. I start to panic but I relax alittle when I remember my previous encounters with the guys from Avalon, I'm sure another one of them has come to try his luck again.
I walk out the door into the living room but no one is there. I hear some sounds coming from the kitchen so I walk into kitchen but same thing no one is there. Now I'm getting scared. Usually they don't hide, oh my God! What if it's a thief or something worse. Suddenly i hear a loud thud coming from the living room, which knocks the air right out of me. It sounds like a table getting knocked over.
I'm seriously contemplating whether to hide, scream or run but against my better judgement I walk tentatively into the parlor with a kitchen knife but no one is there. What kind of rubbish is this?, Are they playing with me? or Is my mind just playing tricks on me?. I shake my head to get rid of this weird feeling I have in my stomach and lower the knife. Before I go back to my room I check all the locks on the door to make sure they are still intact.
I'm back in my room but I can't sleep I feel like someone is in here with me but my lights are on and I don't see any one. After what happened just now I don't think I can sleep with the light off so I left it on.
I keep staring into space because I can feel something but i can't see anything. Something in me, like a sixth sense or something is telling me that someone is in here. I close my eyes shut and concentrate on the feeling, after a few minutes I open my eyes and I can see the sihlowet of a man standing by my wall staring right back at me. I blink a few times and look back at the wall but nothing! I swear I'm going insane.
That night I didn't see him again after that and after a while of waiting I slept off due to tiredness.
I woke up in the next morning feeling very tired, I didn't get much sleep last night. But unfortunately I still have to go to work.
I go over my usual routine before leaving the house. Sometimes I wonder why I don't have a car. Oh! Now I remember I don't have the money to buy one, urgh! I guess I will have to walk there since the bus left already.
Although I got to work late Mrs Vera wasn't mad besides she wouldn't even have the strength, it turns out she was sick that's why she didn't make it yesterday.
The day went by rather quickly and Mrs Vera had us close up the diner early because of an appointment she claimed to have so here I am watching vampire diaries in my room while eating popcorn.
My phone starts ringing, I grab it and answer quickly
"Hey April, what's up?" I ask still eating popcorn
"Nothing much, what's that sound your making?"
" what sound? "I ask confused
" like a crunching sound or something " this girl and food? I thought to myself smiling
"Oh its just popcorn"
" Are you watching a movie right now? " she asked
" yes, vampire diaries why?" I say still munching on my popcorn
" um..I'm kinda in the neighborhood and I have nothing to do because we closed early. Mind if I come over? Please" she begs,
" of course not, come right over I needed company anyway " now that Avril is gone I finally realized something, I'm a loner.
"Now you see why you need a boyfriend" she teases
"Please leave that topic alone. I'm more interested in the guy on my TV which is Stephan who by the way is taking off his shirt so if you don't mind I'd like to concentrate" she starts laughing
"OK, OK I'll be there in 20" she hangs up and I go back to concentrating on my movie.
She arrives soon after and now we are both watching a scary movie. I think I might have killed my pillow from holding it too tight. I wonder why I agreed to watch this movie. It's really freaking me out but April on the other hand doesn't seem scared at all.
The girl in the movie is about to get killed in her sleep by a crazy, stalker/psychopath. He was about to stab her when she suddenly opens her eyes and is about to scream but the guy's head suddenly falls off into the girl's lap and the moment she screams April and I both scream but the weirdest thing is when we screamed and went to hug each other just now I swear I heard someone laugh. I turn my head slowly to look at April and she has the same look on her face. I take it she heard it too
"April you know right now I'm regretting watching that movie" I say looking around the room, Everything seems okay
" yes me too " we both laughs nervously and let each other go. I quickly turn off the TV.
"Why did you turn it off?, I wanted to know how come the guys head fell off" she whines. I'm about to answer back when I hear someone chuckle again
" Cassie please tell me that was you? " April asks with a worried look on her face
"it wasn't me"I answer nervously
"Then who?!" She half yells
"Ah! that would be me" a deep voice replies from a corner of my room. Our heads immediately snap to the direction of the door the voice came from but there is no one there.
I gulp before asking "um...who are you?"I wait for a reply but I get none
"Cassie, you know I love you right but if I find out you are just messing with me because I made you watch that film I swear to..." She trials off her eyes wide
"Are you alright?" why did she stop talking?
"Behind you" she whispers. I turn around slowly to see the Same man of last night standing by the wall with an amused look on his face. Neither me nor April say anything for a long while. How did he get in here more importantly who the hell is he?
"A minute ago I swear you girls could talk but now you look like you've seen a ghost" he teases us. I look back at April unsure of what to do
"Who the hell are you?" April yells, she looks scared but mad at the same time. He laughs then asks
"Your name is April is it not?"
"I know who I am, I'm asking who you are freak?" OK right now I do not support her insulting him considering he could kill us any minute but I'm actually waiting for his answer. I have been looking at him and for someone who broke into another persons house he is rather calm.
"Um...are you from Avalon too?" I ask cautiously
" Yes I am."he says nodding, his look turning serious
"OK so what do you want?"
"I thought you would be used to this already besides I was told you already met with two of our royals. So you know the drill chop! Chop! Time to go" he says clapping his hand
"I am not going anywhere besides I still do not know who you are?" He sighs before answering
" who I am is of no use to you "he replies nonchalantly and I glare at him
"Get out of my house!" I yell
"I'm afraid I cannot do that" he says crossing his hands over his chest
"Cassie I'm calling the police" April says reaching for her phone but before she is able to reach it the phone disappears. Both our eyes go wide
"Oh my God" April whispers. The next thing I know April vanishes like literally she disappears like puff!
"What did you do to my friend?" I turn back to him angrily but he just smirks
"I don't know what the hell you did but I want you to return her back right now" how dare he take April
"Well I would have but your friend just arrived in Avalon so if you want her back you have to get her yourself" he says smirking
"And how do you suppose I do that?" I ask sarcastically
"That's easy just come with me to Avalon" I wanted to wipe that smirk off his face by refusing but April was on the line here
"But if I go there, what is the guarantee you people will let me come back?" I reason
"When you get there you will find out" I close my eyes and try to calm my nerves. What do I do now?, they have April. I shouldn't have let her come, now look what's happened I have to go get her back. When I open my eyes I see the man watching me closely like he's trying to figure out what is going through my mind. Well tough luck buddy you can't read minds
"He can't but I can" I see the other guy from the diner the other day walk into my room casually and sits on my bed. What was his name again? Ah! Gacia
"What are you doing here?" All these people are crazy. So this idiot can make things disappears including himself, gacia can read minds and chance can control people. Just great!
"Isn't it obvious?, we are here to take you to Avalon" chace says as he climbs into my room through the window
"I don't know how many times I'm gonna have to say it. I don't want to go anywhere with you crazy people" I yell
"Calm down love, don't stress yourself" Gacia says while I scoff at this
"Don't stress you say, well if you would kindly return my friend and get the hell out of my life I promise you I won't stress" I'm tired of this crap, these people should just leave me alone
"I'm afraid that is impossible" gacia says answering my thoughts
"You know if you just agreed it would save us all the stress" the man I still don't know his name says. I have officially made a decision this guy is a jerk and douche bag. Gacia laughs and I'm sure he read my thoughts
"You know you look like something pupped on your face. Why do you keep scowling" I know I'm lying because the guy is actually kinda cute with his black hair and lovely blue eyes that gives him that mysterious look and he is also well built and probably six feet. Now that I think about I feel small standing in a room with these men, although I'm 5'7 they are way taller
"Cassie would you stop thinking about Axel you are giving me a headache" I blush at his comment, so that's his name
"Well then stay out of my mind" do I go with them or not? I'm unsure but what about April?, I can't just leave her. I sigh loudly
"OK I'll go with you"
