Chapter Two: first day was weird
"Harlow it's nearly time for my appointment" Elsie said knocking on the door.
"Ok" I put on my boots and threw a ball at Willow, who was still asleep.
"What the.... Harlow!"
"Willow, we are about to leave" I grabbed my bag and walked out.
"kk" she got up. I went downstairs and met Mum and Elsie at the door.
"We'll be back in two hours" Mum called out. Elsie sat in the middle and I sat in the front with Mum.
"Elsie Cormack?" We got up and followed the doctor.
"Thank you" We left.
"We'll go do the shop then go home and hopefully I'll still have some kids left." Mum hummed as we drove to the shopping centre.
"Shopping" Elsie cheered.
"Howdy Ma'am" The truck driver greeted me as I opened the door.
"Hi Sir... The truck's here" I called out.
"There was road works and I got caught up in it" the driver explained.
"It's ok," I told him as everyone ran out to the truck. We all unpacked the truck and organized everything to where they lived.
"Thank-you for the help" Mum thanked the driver.
"No worries really" he said goodbye and left.
"So Mum, you're officially single what are you going to do now?" Will and I asked her.
"I'm going to work" She said seriously. She started ironing uniforms for tomorrow.
"Do I really have to go to school?" I asked her falling back onto the couch.
"Yes, you need an education to go somewhere important in life" she she zooming through the ironing.
"Harlow?" Elsie ran in.
"Yes Els"
"Beau, Jabez and I are going around the forest at the back, do you want to come?" She asked.
"Sure" I got up and followed her outside.
"I'm surprised to hear that you wanted to join" I told Jabez when we got to the boys.
"Well there's nowhere else to go so I came here" he said as we followed the younger two.
As we entered the forest I felt déjà, it was weird I knew exactly where we would end up and I've never been here before. I could see Elsie felt it too.
"What is that?" She asked as a strong wind blew passed.
"I don't know but it was powerful." I told her.
"What was what? Nothing has happened" Jabez and Beau looked at us funny.
"The wind" we told them.
"There isn't even been a breeze" Jabez screwed up his face. Something jumped out at me, but before I could process it, it was gone.
"We've done enough exploring for today" I said and Elsie and I ran back to the house.
"What just happened?" I asked.
"Did I have another seizure?" Elsie asked looking around.
"Who are you kids?" An older woman asked. I looked around this isn't our house.
"We are the new neighbours, Sorry madam we accidentally ran into here." I started to blush with embarrassment.
"It's ok dear, our houses do look similar and with the forest it's very easy to get lost, I'm Rachael" she smiled.
"Mum, Justin took my... Hello?" A teenage boy ran down the stairs and saw me.
"This young woman is our new neighbour Josh" Rachael told him.
"Hi"
"Um... Hi" I waved shyly.
"My sister and I will get going, I'm truly sorry for barging in like that" I went to grab Elsie's hand but she wasn't there.
"You have a sister?" The boy asked before everything went dark.
"Harlow" Jabez was shaking me.
"Hi" I sat up. How did I get on the ground.
"You fainted, and you wouldn't wake up" Beau told me.
"Let's go back shall we?" I asked getting up.
"Yep" and we started walking back home.
"Heylow" Willow and Ava jumped at us as we walked into the house. Elsie and I just walked past them up to my room.
"What happened out there?" Elsie asked me as we laid on my bed.
"I don't know, what did you see?" I asked her.
"We were running away from a wind thing into this house that looked exactly the same as this one but it wasn't our house. The old lady scared me and I ran away from her and the girl found me, her name was Sammy, then I woke up" She explained.
"Same only I stayed and there was a boy named Josh he was complaining about something" I told her.
"This is weird" she said.
"Yep, go have a shower it nearly dinner time" I kissed her and she ran out.
"What's up with you two?" Willow asked walking in.
"I would tell you but I have no clue at all" I told her. She rolled her eyes.
"Whatever"
"Willow I'm telling you the truth" I fought with her.
"Elsie and I apparently fainted and we were sucked into what seems like another world." I explained to her.
"You don't have to lie about it" she grabbed her pyjamas and walked out.
"I'm not" I called out. I grabbed a tank top and shorts. I took a shower after Elsie, since Willow went in Mum's bathroom.
"I'm going to bed" I told everyone putting my plate into the sink and went upstairs. I put some sheets on my bed and hopped under the covers and fell asleep.
"What's your sister's name?" he asked weirdly.
"I have three sisters but the one I'm looking for is Elsie" I told them.
"How old is she, dear?" Rachael asked.
"5" I told them looking around.
"Sammy have you seen a little girl around here"
"Yes momma she's with me" a little girl said walking out to us with Elsie.
"Els, there you are"
"Hi Harls" she half smiled.
"We should go home, mum will be worried." I grabbed Elsie's hand and left. I jolted awake.
"Harlow what's wrong?" Willow was in bed on her phone texting. I jumped out of bed and walked into Elsie and Ava's room. Elsie was cold and shivering.
"Elsie" I shook her softly. She screamed and I hugged her. "Shh it's ok" I rubbed her back.
"That animal... There was a wolf, she treated it like it was her sibling or something" she said worried.
"It was only a dream" I calmed her. I hope it was only a dream I thought to myself.
