Chapter eight
Meow.... No shut up I'm sleeping. Meow! Uuhhhgg..... I open my eyes and see the cat staring at me. "Hello Mr. Jerk face would you kindly get off me?" I mumbled to it. It stayed put.
I sat up. I was on Nolan's couch, I remember. He was probably in his bed sleeping. Wait.... Wasn't there fire and chaos everywhere last night? I got up to look out the window. I tripped. Someone had attached a rope to my foot and the couch. It was tied very tight. I felt annoyed. Why'd Nolan do this?
Then I was shocked. I had felt annoyed? I almost never felt anything, I had made up a strong emotional barrier over the years. Dose it not exist in this dream? Hhmmm.... As I was pondering this, Nolan came out of his room. I looked at him, and to my foot, and then back to him.
"Didn't want anyone kiddnaping you, now did I?" He said with a posed look.
"Um... Can you untie it?" I asked him.
He sighed. "Yeah... Well, my dad came home last night and saw a random girl sleeping on our couch. You. So his first reaction was to make sure you couldn't escape so he could interrogate you when you woke up..." He replied sheepishly. "I can't really undo his knots."
I probably looked scared.
Nolan saw my look "No no! Its ok, he's just a little.... Weird." He glanced at a clock on the wall. "He should be back in a few minutes."
I look down at my tattered clothing. "Sorry, I ruined your shirt..." I said.
He sighed. "That's fine, it was an old one anyway." He sat down on a chair by the door, waiting for his father. There was a knock on the door after a wile.
Nolans dad came in. I ducked behind the couch. I didn't know why, but I felt scared of him. I pretended to be asleep still. I heard Nolan and his dad talking.
"Is she asleep?" His dad asked.
"No, she's faking it. She's scared of you, duh." Nolan replied.
"Well then get her up, I have a few questions" he said.
I peeked over the rim of the couch. His dad was 2 inches from my nose staring at me. "BBLLAAHHH!!" he yelled. I squeaked and fell backwards off the couch. His dad laughed.
I sat up and turned my back to him. I think my face was red.
"Ok girly, why are you in my house?" Nolan's dad said after he finished laughing.
"I told you dad she-" Nolan started.
"Nope! Hearing her side of the story!" He snapped. He looked at me "Well, start talking girly."
I scooted as far as I could away from him with the rope still attached to my foot.
He sighed "just talk already...... Or I might use you as target practice." He said as he looked at a gun hanging on the wall.
I couldn't scoot back any farther. "Dad! Stop scaring her!" Nolan shouted. "Just say what happened....." He asked me.
I told him I accidentally ran off a cliff, and Nolan saved me and brought me to his house. Nolan's dad looked at me quizzically. "Really? How do you even fall of a cliff?"
"Well.... This tiger jumped on me and this scary guy started chasing me with a gun...." I said.
"Wait what? That was you?" He said, sounding surprised. "But you had pinkish hair then..." He said.
I looked at my hair. It was so covered in dirt that it was a brownish color now.
"Where do you live? Do you need a ride? How old are you?" He asked suspiciously.
"I don't exactly have a home.... I think. And I'm 13.... Probably..." I told him.
"Are you a beast whisperer?" He asked me calmly.
"What's a b-" I started.
Nolan's dad stood up and leaned in close to me. "Where is the beast?" He said sternly. I squeaked and fell back onto the floor. He grabbed my shirt color and lifted me up a little bit. "Where is it?" He said in my face.
I closed my eyes and waited to be hit. That's what usually happened whenever master grabbed my shirt before. He must of seen my flinch, because he let me go. I fell with another squeak.
He untied the rope around my foot, and picked me up and swung me over his shoulder. He brought me to the bathroom and set me down on the floor. "Take a bath, you're filthy. Then we need to talk." He said and left.
? ? ? He must have been really strong to pick me up like that, even if I am super light.... I had no idea how to turn on Nolan's shower, because only super geniuses know how to work other people showers and TV remotes.
I had to ask Nolan to do it. He awkwardly came and set the temperature right, and left. I filled up the bath and just sat there in the warm water, glaring at nothing in particular.
What was with his dad?! Uuuhhhh.... I sighed. Which failed epically, since my mouth was under water. I coffed and spluttered. I sneezed. My stomach hurt. I looked in the water I was sitting in, and saw that it had gone a little red near the bottom.
Horrified, I realized what was happening. Ann had told me about this before, luckily. Well, now it made sense why I was acting so moody lately.
How was I supposed to tell two guys that I needed a pad? Would they even know what that is? Oh crud....
I continued my bath, and washed my hair and myself. When I was done, I opened the bathroom door a little and looked to see if anyone was there. "Ummm..." I called. "N-nolan? Do you have any... Other clothes I can wear...." I asked.
"Ya! Go to my room they're on the bed!" He yelled from somewhere in the house. I cautiously walked to his room. I saw some clothes on his bed. I put on the old shirt of his, and a pair of baggy shorts. They were a bit to big for me. It was the afternoon now.
Nolan's dad came into the room. "Can we talk now?" He asked.
"Actually...." I asked sheepishly. "I, ummm.... I need a pad...." I said. I felt my face go red.
Whatever Nolan's dad was expecting, it sure wasn't that. "Oh! Uh... Ok! Um.... I think there might be some 17 year old ones in the bathroom sink....." He looked at me and sighed. "I'll go and buy some...." He stood up and left.
I was alone on the bed again. I felt really tired. I closed my eyes. Mew! I heard the cat. Someone tapped my shoulders, probably Nolan. "What.... Nolan, can I sleep a bit longer please...." I mumbled. I opened my eyes. Katie stood in front of me. I sat up immediately.
"What? Nolan? Katie? What time-" the clock said 1:07. "Sweetie!" I whispered to her "Why aren't you in bed?"
"There's a kitty outside. He's meowing." She replied sleepily. I looked out the window. What. What, how.... How is that cat here? That's the cat from my dream. What.
I shook of my initial shock, and turned to Katie. "I'll go get the kitty if you go back to sleep." I told her. She nodded and I watched her go back to bed.
Sigh.... Now I had to get the cat. I walked as quietly as I could, down to the bottom floor where I could go outside and get the cat. The door opened without a sound. I walked around the house, and saw no sign of the dang cat. I went back inside, and shut the door.
I heard something. Oh shoot did I let something inside? Something pounced on my foot. I somehow didn't scream. It was the flipping cat. What the crap stupid cat! You scared me to freaking death! I thought to myself.
The cat mewed happily. I picked it up, and set it on my shoulders. I went back to my room and got into bed to sleep more. Hopefully.
I landed on the floor. "Kyaa!" I screached. Nolan's dad was sitting on the bed.
"Oh sorry! Um, here." He tossed me a package of pads. He left the room again. I put on a pad and felt a tiny bit better.
I went out to Nolan's living room, then went outside to retrieve my normal clothes.
I changed again. The clothes I had started this dream in were a T-shirt and shorts, but they fit me better than Nolan's old clothes.
I went back outside, and The cat came up to me again. I knelt down to pet it. It was more of a kitten actually. It purred and rubbed its nose on me. Its big blue eyes stared at me. I smiled. But then it suddenly hissed at something and ran off. I reached out to stop it but it was fast. I frowned.
A shadow appeared in front of me. Someone was behind me, I looked up at them. The sun got in my eye, but I stood up. I smiled nervously at the silhouette.
"Who are you? You don't look familiar, weirdo." She said. My smile immediately vanished. Why did I think people would be nice to me? All people are cruel and selfish, some just take longer to show it then others. Nolan and Jeff will turn against me soon enough. I just need to wait for it.
"Hi..." I said nervously.
The person walked away. I sighed and stood up. "Kitty?" I called to the area I saw the cat run. It ran out of a bush and pounced on my foot. I jumped back, the cat followed my foot. I kept jumping back and it followed. It was fun. I found myself smiling.
I stopped, and the cat nibbled on my foot. It looked up at me innocently. I sat down and moved my hands around so it chased and pounced on them. I laughed, and picked up the cat and held it in front of my face.
"You need a name" I told it.
