problem with authority.”
“Sure do. I think Noah wants to meet you. He actually seems rather interested in you.” She smiles.
Great a ghost stalker, I bet it was him earlier and this morning. Why not just appear? Why all the secrecy? “I’d like to speak with him, with all of them.”
“Maybe one day you will. Well I’m going to let you go to bed.”
“Where are you going?”
“To see what your beautiful brother is doing.”
“Be nice to him, he’s really trying to be a better person.”
“Don’t worry I will be.” She frets for a brief second like she wants to say something else. “Well good night.” She disappears.
Huh, I wonder what that was about…
Grabbing pajamas out of the drawer I can’t help but wonder how often they are around watching. I almost talk myself out of a shower or changing for that matter. However the humid heat down here makes me feel sticky and there’s no way I’m going to bed sweaty and gross. Hopefully they give me the same privacy Kadence does. As I trudge to the bathroom glancing around my room I make a mental note of where everything is. I want to keep track of what exactly it is this Noah guy is so interested in.
Loud footsteps hammer down the ha ll towards me; I’m so fearful it’s becoming harder to distinguish between them and my heart pounding in my ears. Locking the door I glanced around for an escape, quickly run to the window and fight to open its heavy panes. There’s no way I’ll survive the fall and if by some miracle I do I’ll be permanently paralyzed. I shutter thinking about lying there on the wet grass, my body refusing my commands. “Emily!” His voice sounds angry as he beats against the door. “You are making it worse! You know what happens when I get angry!” I cover my mouth to muffle my sobs as I quietly squeeze into the closet hiding behind a large wooden trunk. “I saw you with that boy in the old slaves quarters! You disgust me! You know what everyone is going to say about you! About our family! No daughter of mine would do such a thing!” He screams and kicks the door. “I should have known you’d turn out just like your mother! Emily, open this damn door it’s time for you to repent!” The door slams into the wall, I can hear it crack the plaster and I press my hand to my mouth harder choking down the scream. “Shh, its gonna be alright, soon he won’t be able to hurt you anymore.” I shake my head disbelievingly knowing the only way that’s possible is if one of us dies. He wraps his arms around me, “I’m with you. I’m always gonna be with you.” “You can’t hide from me!” The closet doorknob turns and I know it’s over. Closing my eyes I wait for the end.
Bolting up I grab the throw blanket from the foot of my bed and wrap it around myself as I walk to close the window. “Emily?” My voice comes out in a shaky whisper. “Are you showing me what happened to you?” I turn around ready to climb back in bed when I hear the distinct noise of the closet doorknob turning slowly. My heart skips a beat and I run out my room straight down the hall to Drew. I’m so afraid that the quiet moaning doesn’t register until I’ve flipped on his light while carefully closing the door behind me. I stand there trembling from fear and shock. Fear from my experience and shock from what I just walked in on. “What the heck are you doing?”
Drew looks at me embarrasse d and Kadence rolls her eyes, “What did it look like?” she asks agitated with me for ruining their make out session.
“You’re freaking kid ding me right? Drew she’s not alive.”
“But I can see her, feel her, she is as real as you and me.”
I step towards her angrily, if that’s the case she’s about to get what she’s had coming to her for a while now! Best friend or not, she’s done screwing with my brothers head! Lashing out my palm connects with her cheek causing it to sting. She stares at me
